GCC and MSVC have different defaults that are important when building DLLs. Things like default visibility of functions and even calling conventions. It's great fun to make a DLL that builds successfully on both, unfortunately.

I found that vgmstream r724 doesn't play nice with the MIB files Ford Racing 2 (PS2), r664 works perfect for me though.

Running WA 5.572, Modern Skins support installed, but not actually using a "modern" skin.

Winamp is possibly the "crashiest" music player out there. It's like waiting for the lamest excuse to call it quits.

I second that, some people I know keep getting a "General Script Failure Error" with their Winamp's and for whatever reason, removing all 3rd party input plugins fixes everything..


I'm going to scream, then migrate to something else if my winamp fucks up seeing how I have a ton of plugins just to play all the music archived on this site.


Also I refuse to update Winamp anymore, I'm too paranoid that Nullsoft's going to fuck up shit even worse.

So, because they use some broken or outdated plugins for Winamp and these plugins cause Winamp to crash/fail, Winamp is at fault and must be blamed and criticized?

Nice logic there.


Also, maybe some of your 3rd party plugins don't work together very well?

@Franpa

I think you misunderstand me...

Out of nowhere, be it either a Winamp update or even just sitting inactive for days, suddenly some of my friend's winamp refuses to work anymore giving a "Guru meditation error" flashing on the top of their screen. Why? I don't fucking know... but for whatever reason it's always some input plugin, of which I've been suggesting to my friends to play back .SPC, .MINIUSF, whatever, and it's been working fine for me for years... Then out of nowhere it stops working for them.. so I put the blame on Nullsoft for changing something on Winamp 5 that probably shouldn't have been touched, because it would break compatibility with all plugins that I've been keeping up to date as much as I can.


I don't even keep Winamp up to date anymore until a plugin I'm keeping up to date with deems it necessary to update.. since I don't want anything to go screwy.

Tell your friends Winamp doesn't run on the Amiga.

Seriously.

The problems are probably mostly with poorly written plugins, but the best a user can do is stick with what works (generally an older Winamp). Not everyone can spend as much on backwards compatibility and 3rd party software testing as Microsoft.

There are some plugins I use that aren't even updated anymore. (AdPlug being a example since the last known version for Winamp was 1.8... and it does NOT have OPL3 support at all, and the new DosBOX DRO format is unplayable in AdPlug, as far as I've tested...)


Speaking of Winamp, does anyone know if I can get Winamp3's skin working in Winamp 5 as a "Classic skin"? Since I miss Winamp3's look so damn much now....

@Kaminari: daft comment. Seriously. You -do- know that if the Modern Skins support crashes it throws an Amiga-styled Guru Meditation, right?

"does anyone know if I can get Winamp3's skin working in Winamp 5 as a "Classic skin"?"
No, but doesn't the "Winamp Modern" skin look essentially the same? It's been a long time since I ran WA3 obviously but I thought that's where that skin came from.
