vgmstream not showing up in Winamp plugin list by biolizard89 at 1:43 AM EDT on September 15, 2011
I installed Winamp 5.621 (fresh). I then copied in_vgmstream.dll (r967) to the plugins folder, and copied the 3 external dlls to the directory with winamp.exe. I then start Winamp, and vgmstream is not listed on the plugin list, nor do my vgmstream-playable files play. I've tried putting the external dlls in system32, and the plugins directory, which does not make any difference. I notice by searching the forums that this happens to people when upgrading Winamp over an existing vgmstream install, but this does not appear to cover my situation. Am I doing something stupid?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, that is the link I downloaded the dlls from. I'm not sure why it's not working for me; I'm following the same procedure I remember doing a year ago on a different computer, which worked then. Any suggestions to troubleshoot this?
EDIT: Well, hmm, I just reinstalled Winamp (again) and this time rebooted the computer immediately... now it's showing up fine. Absolutely no clue what was causing my issue, but it seems reinstalling Winamp and restarting immediately fixed it for me. Thanks.
