Resolved Issues / CSA & ENH

« on: February 11, 2019, 06:48:00 PM »

My current display setup is the Main window, Album Art & Video (both same size and one on top of the other), Playlist Editor, Classic Spectrum Analyzer and Enhancer Wrapper v1_01. (image attached)

1.1 - Currently the Classic Spectrum Analyzer (or any other visualizer I assume) activates when playback begins if the box is checked. Since it does not close when playback stops is it possible for it be there, i.e. 'activated' without playback starting it at the next session? All other windows (art, video, playlist etc.) are there at next startup. Why not visualizers?  I do notice that if I 'pause' any media that is playing and then exit the app, at the next session the visualizer will appear. It also always appears on next startup if I shutdown the app with a streaming, online radio station playing, stopped or paused. For now, doing this is an acceptable work-around if a mod of the app for this is too cumbersome.

1.2 - Not always but often enough to be annoying, when I exit the session (ALT-F4 or via the Main Menu exit) only the visualizer closes. I then have to Task Manager > End Process on the 'Not Running' Wacup task.


2 - Enhancer will not appear in new session after close of previous session. I always have to manually clik Menu > Options > Preferences  > Plug-In > DSP ... and the weird thing is  the only way I can get it to appear is to first tap the 'Streaming Source' dsp then tap Enhancer then it appears. Again, not really a show-stopper, but inconvenient nonetheless. (image attached)

The one good thing is that all settings are saved
.
Note: I do not have issue number 2 with oem Winamp 5.666

in the mean time ... you can use any number of good quality freeware (foobar2000, audacity, dBconverter, etc.) to easily convert to flac (hands-down the most common lossless format).

I can split / answer the thread properly later tonight (just got that pesky thing of a weekend getting in the way of things 😉). Something can be done for both things raised as my quick reply.

dro, thank you for checking in, appreciated. Enjoy your time off, it's important for you and this issue is not. I also understand that development of the project should have your priority. All things at your convenience is understood.

ariszlo, Your advice for separate thread for separate issue is logical and I apologize for not doing that.

victhor, thx for chiming in. You too, enjoy your time off.

laters all,

Well, I looked in the winamp_res.dll. Located only one image in it that might be the one, modified it and put it back. Re-booted the machine, fired up WACUP but no change (yes, I did make a backup of the original). fwiw I have attached the modded image for your pleasure (and as indicated earlier, not much of a mod at that).

The title bar image of the WACUP Classic Skin is in winamp_res.dll. I don't have PhotoShop but I doubt you can edit dlls with it.

perhaps there is an image in the dll that could be extracted, modified  with a graphics editor and replaced with the modified version?

where are the files and what editor do you suggest?

Modifying a skin's graphics is only ok for your own use. You should not pass a modified skin on without the original author's permission. But it is much better to make your own skin. Download the Skinner Atlas skin, unzip it and read the README.

You may also want to study the Winamp 5 base skin.

OK - Apparently you missed the first 4 words of the op. Loading an image into photoshop, playing around and saving the finished image is my limit. And why would I want to distribute my personal artwork? Also, changing the textual name of the module is really not much of a graphic mod imo. Finally, I am much much more interested in the first item.

Hi -

I am no technocrat and I don't know if this is even remotely possible.

1 - I listen to several dozen different on-line music, talk, preachin', etc. stations and think it would be cool if I could assign some relative image/artwork to each stream. I notice that in 'edit bookmarks' there are two entry boxes, one for the url and one for user customization of the bookmark's name/ title. Perhaps here is where a 3rd entry box can be created to specify a path to an image from  the computer or from the web and then maybe store the images in the app's directory for reduced load times/cpu overhead. I don't know if this is hard-coded, but a green image of the WACUP logo currently appears when I am listening to online stations, so maybe?

2 - What is the likelihood of being able to rename the modules? Not to be rude or anything but I would like to rename the Main window to something other than WACUP and Enhancer to something else as well.

thx,
-Marc.
