Preview Build Discussion / CrystalControl plugin issue
« on: April 02, 2021, 12:53:31 AM »
Hello,
First thank you for keeping Winamp alive! I have been using a crystalfontz drive bay LCD with my systems for a long time. They provided a plugin (vis_cc2.dll) for Winamp that allows the LCD receive and display information about the current track Winamp is playing. (it can even control winamp via some buttons on the LCD, but I do not use that feature). I use the plugin to display track artist - title - date information as well as a spectrum analyzer visualization on the LCD. This worked from Winamp 2.x through 5.666 ( even 5.8 ) without any issue. However, with WACUP the plugin seems not receive the Artist information or if it does it is incomplete most of the time (title and date seem to work). Also, the spectrum analyzer portion of the plugin gets data, but it seems as if WACUP outputs this with the gain so high (compared to how stock winamp does) that the spectrum analyzer appears as if all levels are almost completely maxed out making the output useless. I will attach the plugin DLL if it helps. Thanks for any help in getting this working again.
