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

Video Window Position Not Saved (#7236)
« on: March 13, 2021, 04:04:18 AM »
I have my video window sized to the same as my album art (refer to other threads with attached images of my setup). I have the settings to open@video playback and close@video stop. If I stop and replay, the video window has relocated and parked itself at the bottom of the screen. Same if I exit session and start new session.

There's no need to bump & it'll be looked at once I've finished triaging & fixing what I can from the initial few days worth of crash reports before I then look at the non-crashing issues.

geeez, been using wacup since you put it out there and never a crash. wtf are people doing w/this app ?!?!?!?!?! (you need not reply, just venting)

(oh wait - I did have that single issue a few weeks back and you promptly addressed that with a simple 'delete 2 files' fix [thx again], so, I don't really count that.)

Press F5 in a modern skin one too many times and you'll have the engine throw a hissyfit (don't actually do this, please)

It's quite easy depending on what's being done. Modern skins definitely are more likely to experience an issue due to bugs in the plug-in responsible. There's then behaviours that block the main ui thread & trigger the unresponsive handling (some of which has been resolved e.g. drag+drop a massive folder onto the main playlist used to do that).

There's also issues from some of the other 5.666 plug-ins that are still being used like the local media library plug-in (ml_local) which does weird things at times with it's importing or in_mp3 & it's metadata handling & so on. There's then anything I've introduced with writing new code like 7170 would lock-up when adding files from the browse folder & a title update was also requested which never appeared from beta testers but showed up under the preview build once you have more people using things.

Most I don't think ever have an actual crash issue but if I ignore such things then we end up with what was leveraged against Winamp proper for many years of it being buggy / unstable which was completely true until more focus was put on resolving such things around 5.64 - 5.66x when those public builds also included the beta builds crash reporter (something that should have been a priority much soon).

So be happy you're not having issues & be happy that for those who do & for whom I can understand from the crash report what's going on that I take dealing with crash reports as a higher priority to try to give a good experience as no one likes things crashing & sadly there's still more for me to do to improve things which will come as more gets replaced (ignoring the dips when new code comes in at times).
