Latest WACUP public preview for x86 & x64 is build #20202 (September 28th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #20686 (December 23rd 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs)


NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.

Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

The main idea was to re-organise things into more appropriate groupings along with making things searchable and pinning common pages to the top of the preferences so you didn't need to scroll down the tree to get to some of the pages.

As for what could be removed, that's a tricky one as there has to have been a reason for it to be added in the first place (often due to not liking a default behaviour) but then is it that the default is wrong or just the feature not as properly thought out as it could be :)

Likewise for everyone having enjoyed as best as possible the last few days and however many days are left that they celebrate the festive period.

I remember proposing a complete overhaul of the preferences back in 2007 but like with everything, it had its costs vs benefits and just didn't gain any traction (despite it having been helpful for those that interact heavily with the preferences). As that page was sort of meant to act as a single place for such things but in retrospect it's obviously become more confusing than helpful.

I agree It makes sense to try to move those options, I just haven't looked into doing it yet. As I'd need to check what values are being read / written and what the two plug-ins (gen_ml & ml_disc) does in response to those options being changed. For downloads it wasn't too hard as there's an api message sent when it's changed and I could see what config setting was being used (via the settings cache page).

Though looking at things, I'm not sure if I'd then also be worth trying to (with time & some patience) consolidate the then 4 remaining tree options settings onto the 'appearance' page and remove the need for the 'tree options' page at all. But that all depends on how it's been implemented as to whether or not my general way for moving such things around can work or not..

Well I'm not going to get to sleep now just alone from the image, heh

Anyhoo, wishing you a good festive season :)

I'm not sure that'd make sense tbh as a cue file by it's specification can only relate to a specific file and not a batch of files as per a playlist.

If it was from a pre-converted output from the origin playlist to a single file then in that respect it could make sense to also output a cue file with it (as long as it didn't breach the cue file specifications on duration and all that fun).

I've now moved the 'download items' aspect into my replacement podcasts plug-in (which in the next build will be a merged version of the podcasts and downloads plug-ins that I replaced but had been planning on merging into just one when the incentive was there to do it).

If the plug-in works with 5.666 then there should be no reason for it not to work with WACUP. As WACUP is primarily made up of other plug-ins that are targeted to work with 5.666 so unless they've broken something then other plug-ins not part of WACUP should work fine.

I know what you mean as I've also been thinking about it myself (going back to when I fixed the ordering on the page to make it look better if ml_disc wasn't present). Now that there's more vertical space in the preferences window by default, not interacting with the gen_ml options page at least with the podcast replacement plug-in would be the better option for me to get done :)

Yeah, I need to pull my finger out and get it implemented ;)  When you say about knowing the state, I could either do it as an ATF field or can just go for specific configuration values to use for the distinct events (play, pause, unpause, stop).

It's just a library (same for XMP) which decodes the files it supports into a format that Winamp can then play. The main thing is that it is a better implementation than what the native in_mod uses (since it's not been updated in years).

Internally it's quite interesting to try to see how it generates the actual audio often from just "play this" type commands (depending on the format).

I'll look into XMP though it seems like they've either culled or just really hidden the appropriate source code for the plug-in and how to build it on WIndows (there's some odd bits I can find from crude code history commits but nothing 'current' that is provided).

License wise it seems like the full libxmp is LGPL which I'm ok with using (there's no point in even considering the lite version which is MIT licensed if I've already got an openmpt solution).

The plug-in d/l from modland seems to be very basic in only being comparable to to the 2.x days so would need updating in a number of ways to make it usable in current setups. So it might be something I look into as an updated alternative but just from spending almost an hour looking for the applicable source code needed with no real result, I'm not too impressed on first impression with xmp compared to my first time with openmpt.

Hmm, was this posted in the correct thread or should it have been in https://getwacup.com/community/index.php/topic,54.0.html instead ? Just not sure something about remote playback control really works in a thread about now playing posting :)

Had forgotten Mr Jones had written that.

And I'm still grumpy about certain things but looking back (is scary it's been 3 years tbh) with everything that was going on at the time (between flu, meetings, coding & trying to code base cleanse), it was a good release overall (barring the few little niggles the patched installer resolves).
