Resolved Issues / Re: NTDLL.DLL crash on load (the other computer).

« on: October 08, 2019, 06:38:48 PM »

The portable install can be done on a normal drive as well - it just has to be somewhere that allows unrestricted writing of settings into the folder. It also works as it avoids using the OS method that seems to be causing the issue.

I've made the change I'd mentioned for tonight's build so would be appreciated if you can try it out when you can & if it doesn't work then I'll have to try out some other options as 2 confirmed instances of it failing (I think there's one other but that user moved onto something else) means it's got to be more common than I'm knowing about.

Got it & just had a look & one other user has had this issue (they ended up using a portable install & it worked) but I'm stumped by why it fails deep within the OS. It happens when its trying to work out the location of the settings folder to use but the failure is within the OS trying to determine security attributes from what I can tell.

One option might be to hard-code handling for the default location from the config to use a different (preferred) OS method & see if that helps. Will try to get a change rolled into the build I'm trying to get finished off at the moment for other stability issues.

Resolved Issues / Re: 3 problems discovered in 4 days(read inside)

Without knowing what has been installed & what is being used within the install, it's really hard for me to answer the memory usage question. Please go to Preferences -> Plug-ins -> click 'create info report' & attach the generated file in reply here please so it can be checked over.

1) I've asked the skin author to have a check as I'm seeing something if I try to click the button repeatedly quickly but it's ok if I take a bit of time.

2) I'd need to see a crash report or have more information on the install to have any means to start to diagnose the issue.

3) You're going to have to give me more information to go on please. My best guess is that you're loading the playlist from the library & if so then there's not a connection between it & the main playlist editor (which is more like a temporary scratch playlist than the actual library playlist). If that's not what you mean then again more information is needed so I can better understand the issue you're having.

ntdll.dll is a generic entry point into a lot of the OS handling so replacing that is really not a good idea & usually if there was a crash report generated then that will give me a better attempt at determine what issue is going on (there's a few key ones in the new build that I've found to be affecting a lot of people now that I've got a better means to see the crashes that are happening).

If you've got specific copies of the crash reports then I'll look at them (I've probably already seen them if they were able to be auto-submitted via the WACUP crash reporter but I wouldn't know its from you). You can either upload them here or just send them in an email to bugs@getwacup.com.

Resolved Issues / Re: error when updating

« on: October 07, 2019, 12:51:12 PM »

I've had a look at the crash report from the older build 4264 & something is blocking it from loading some of the core supporting dlls needed which causes the crash.

I don't know why it happens other than the OS / antivirus software messing up as seems to be the case from the others who've seen jt. There's nothing special I do to the files nor would intentionally locking them from update make any sense to do. I'll have a look at the crash report shortly.

Likewise feedback like this is what helps to keep the motivation up for me on working on this

Resolved Issues / Re: Error creating output file.

« on: October 04, 2019, 08:54:16 PM »

Glad you're sorted now & it would have been because it was likely the selected output plug-in in the list which causes it to be the active plug-in.

Maybe I need to look into making it more obvious which output plug-in is the active one as I've done this myself more times than I should've over the years.

Preview Build Discussion / Re: Playlist Drag/Drop ordering in ML.. (this must be must me..)

« on: October 04, 2019, 05:55:47 PM »

Nothing you've done wrong, just a decision i made a few years back now to implement something else requested at the expense of something else.

With the shift to https I've seen more feeds start to drop http versions & as I use the podcast plug-in having it support https was a must for me 🙂

Glad you've gotten up & running quickly & things are ok so far (just I need to do some coding).

Btw is there a specific sorting needed that requires the need for manually rearranging the playlists?

« on: October 03, 2019, 11:49:10 PM »

It was the current build until I uploaded a newer one as you'd posted.

The support is there but only if you have it setup to show the playlists in the navigation tree (it's off by default as the root playlist view is better than that 5.666 version imho). The attached image shows where the option can be found.

It is however a fair request that I consider doing it in the root list view so its not necessary to enable the above option. Though it'd probably need a keyboard modifier to enable it (e.g. Shift or Ctrl + click) as the default handling within the root is that click + dragging playlists allows them to be dropped onto other playlists or parts of the library / main playlist.

And thanks for the kind words, is appreciated.

Ok. I've not been able to reproduce the issue but there's some vague mentions of it being driver related from a few wasapi related threads I found (so not necessarily plug-in specific). I'll have to queue this up to investigate further later on.

Wishlist / Feature Requests / Re: Artist / Band Info lookup

« on: September 28, 2019, 01:03:36 PM »

WACUP is Win7 and newer only & the standalone plug-in has other OS compatibility issues which is why it's better to not use it as a base imho. I'd likely be using something based on libcurl to generally not have to worry about having to change OS settings to get things working. I'll look at the link later this weekend.

« on: September 27, 2019, 06:15:38 PM »

Ironically the explorer option is the base item a number of the plug-ins use to insert their menu items after as it's a safe known position. At least you can disable what's not needed 🙂
