It would be better, if you download the whole .zip archive (google docs have such option in the menu). I don't remember, if I changed other files too
If you have a working conf.ini , you can try to put it to new version before first launch. It must work.

Nice idea! It will be very usefull for new xmplay users. They wouldn't have to look through big amount of plugin, skin, other pages...
However my copy consists of only 3 additional plugins and one skin

Ok, I think last version of .bat. You just have to place If Errorlevel # Goto in descending order.
You can use any combination of .bat code and files/folders, if it works and suits you.

using wildcard "*" in renaming operation doesn't allow moving files, so you can't use drive or folder name.
you must set absolute path to each plugin or move .bat to the plugin folder and change start line to

start ..\xmplay.exe

you can also try to replace choice strings to (if it will be more comfortable):

echo 1- w/o plugins
echo 2- with plugins
choice /c:12 Choose an option

tip: if you haven't tried yet, .bat file lets you to create a shortcut for it (e.g. place it on your desktop)
p.s. maybe when you get it to work, moderator will have to clean the topic from our conversation

The maximum amount of memory that you can allocate for an MS-DOS program is 4096 KB

For dos-box where user-input, renaming operations and starting of player are proceed.
Hm... it seems that in win98 you must use choice instead of set /p...
try both files in archive

Out of Environment Space Error Check first or second method (for 2nd changing properties of a .bat file, if there would be memory tab, or maybe command.com).
dog symbol "@" just hide result of command from user
If you need to "switch-off" 10 plugins and leave on only two 2, then it would be easier to write 3 lines as you say, but it is leading to 2 more renaming operations. Writing line for each file could take more time from you, but less from OS to execute (I don't sure here, maybe 3 lines will execute more faster than 12). So test first method and if you like result - use it.

A developer often has own vision of project's evolution, and it is his full right. So if you want some new feature, you can wait for it, look for another project (as I came from KMPlayer to gapless XMPlay) or make it with your hands. It's your full right too.

I think this can be done even with help of .bat file. It is depended on how xmplay detects plugins, if I think right, then renaming *.dll to something like *.dll0 must be enough to not load all plugins.
If you want to have choice when you click song/playlist (not "run.bat"), then it can be solved with help of associations like I done with mini control bar.

added later:
I just put run.bat from archive in the folder near xmplay.exe and execute it. It works for me.

I just have tried these extensions (with "use the default icon..."), though I didn't get any strange effect... Be sure, that you don't run other programs that were associated with extensions before (they may break link, in this case use xmplay_ext again). Maybe other programs changed you icons, or it is a system bug, or a virus activity? What folders were affected?
NOTICE:
"Revert defaults" button reset xmplay_ext parameters to default values, it doesn't affect your registry - you need to specify path and click "Apply changes" manually to undo associations' changes (and it would not restore from backup adding extensions' registry keys).
Need some rework here...I have changed this in new version

[moriez]

moriez
It would be nice, if you write what extensions you removed or added at that time. I will check them later.

To enable mini bar, you have to place folders as described in about dialog (xmplay_ext). Then run "xmplay_ext", select extensions which you use, enable checkbox "Bind to xmp_miniCB" and click "Apply changes".
When you minimize player to tray, click it's icon with left mouse button one time - the bar will appear.
I could help you more, when I would return home. check new version

Thanks, now I will know and maybe use this word... Just google translate and russian dictionary-sites give rather conflicting and mixed definitions (even such as smelly/stinky ).
I'm going on vacation, if someone will have questions, I will answer them in the middle of august.

Doesn't sure what you mean by Nifty, is it a noun or adjective (I'm russian )? In any case, I decided not to post all help text here, especially because the program interface could change in future versions (if they would be).

Sorry, I didn't try to resave file myself... Try other unpackers, otherwise my advice was a failure.

[XMPlay Ext]

XMPlay Ext
UPD 1.0.0.1 25 august 12
Fixed:

• saving "sub" checkbox state;
• some elements didn't fit in XP classic theme;
• associations didn't work with some soft overriding them;
• backup registry keys on XP.

New:

• new extensions are added after Enter key pressed (as an Add button do);
• Restore from backup and Revert defaults are more user-friendly now (do most work own);
• Tested in XP pro SP3 32bit.

Automate process of enabling custom icons for each file type associated with player. Works without xmplay mini-control bar. First read About dialog, don't manually change any option in conf.ini.

XMPlay mini-control bar
UPD 1.0.0.1 26 august 12
sorry for publishing non-working version
Fixed:

• absolute path to app instead of relative.

Allow to control player from the tray, using small toolbar. Needs xmplay_ext in order to setup properly. First read About dialog in xmplay ext, don't manually change options in conf.ini if you don't understand them. Supports skining, just take a look in Simple folder and edit conf.ini parameter SkinFolder= to SkinFolder=Simple .
Very ugly technical implementation of what I wanted to get. Still waiting built-in solution from Ian.

Interval=100	interval in milliseconds over which user input is processed, try 100-300
ClickInterval=50	interval in milliseconds over which user input is catched/checked, try 50-150 (1/2 of Interval above)
SkinFolder=	name of the folder (must be located next to xmp_miniCB.exe , like Simple) with skin files without any slashes (if it is not a subfolder), try Simple
Redraw=0	if =0, then control bar won't be redrawn each time you click on xmplay tray icon; bar also won't be hidden, if you click on taskbar, only if xmplay or taskbar lost focus; may help to catch user's clicks more accurate, try 0 or 1
Accurate=0	setting =1 may help to avoid false activity, but can lead to skip some user's clicks, try 0 or 1

Resource Hacker view xmplay icons in exe freely. I think, there is no need in unpacking...

I think that changing xmplay.exe icon with such programs as Resource Hacker, may help to work around this.

Let me know if you still have the problem when using that, with the "DirectSound - Primary Sound Driver" device selected.

With DirectSound it's all OK. Thanks!

Is it correct that the Play/Pause button is still showing as paused, even though XMPlay is playing?

Yes, it is. I have to click twice to stop it again (first - it is visually change button to play, second - playback is paused).

I use .60 build. It unpause when I activate or deactivate bt headphones while playback is paused. It don't unpause when I changed output device in Options, but when I do this the play button stoped blinking and track is rewound back a little (like 700ms). I use default ouput device, it is called "reassigning of audio devices" in options (realtek in-board audio chip). If I change it to "realtek high definition speakers" then there is no sound in headphones when I connect it to pc.

If I pause playback and then the audio output is changed, xmplay continues playing track. It happens when I listen to music in my bluetooth headphones, pause and then switch off headphones. I click "play/pause" one time - it is changed on "playing" and nothing else happened, and after second click - playback is paused again.
Is it a bug?

[Dotpitch]

Dotpitch
I know about this tool. But it is a standalone application and it displays its controls all the time the xmplay is run. While I guess the bar will appear only after xmplay get focus for volume level change and dissappear after it looses this focus. Context menu is not also the best solution for this.
