I think it's time to start a new topic ;)

Congratulations to everyone on the release of XMPlay 3.5!

I would like to see XMPlay take advantage of SSE3 and SSE4 processors.

I would also like XMPlay to work like a client / server.  So that I can launch XMPlay as a server on one machine and control it from another or even better via an iTouch.

I would also like for XMPlay to be a cross platform player Windows/Linux/Mac

In client / server mode I would like to be able to install XMplay directly on a NAS hard-drive and have it scan my music files.  I should be able to control the XMPlay server on the NAS via a client on a PC.

Great news about 3.5 version of XMPlay!

I think that you should integrate album cover option with Player main window skin.

http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=7024.msg72531#msg72531 - my suggestion remains the same :).

And I also have another one: PLEASE add support for single click on tray icon! It seems, xmplay is the only program in my system tray, which requires doubleclick for hide/restore action. :(

Why.  >:(

How in the world would *that* make a difference?
If this is another excuse for better quality.....  ::) Which is as stupid as playing a entire file from RAM for better sound quality.

And seriously, XMPlay/BASS is optimized enough. Ian sure has his reasons *not* to use it at this point in time.....

Um, please check out the manual ini settings:

True dat. On a modern system, XMPlay runs reasonably fast and doesn't leave a footprint that would be worth mentioning. And on older system, well, there's simply no SSE instructions that could be used!

If you don't have a suggestion then don't post...otherwise just stupid debate questions.

Start a debate topic >:(

I disagree. There might be parts in the BASS/XMPlay code that could benefit from using SSE3/4 operations (i.e.. less cycles for the same operation). The speed increase on modern desktops may be negligible indeed, but that's no reason not to suggest (or test) it. It might be worth the effort for netbooks, for example.

If so, then Ian will ignore this suggestion. That's the nice thing about suggestions.

Is any way for possibility of use in version 3.6: genius EAX 2.0 output plugin http://people.inf.elte.hu/mogyakos/eax20.html with XMPlay?

OMG! It was here for 2 years already and i didn't know about it. :( it would save me a lot of clicks, if I heard about this before. :) Anyway, i think this option should be documented in official xmplay documentation (xmplay.txt) and should be available from gui also...

Fine, I will, and you can enlighten us on the benefits of Monster cables and playing directly from RAM, or using more recent instructions sets for supposedly better sound playback quality.

Is it possible XMPlay to work with StatBar.Winamp and KMPlayer works fine(StatBar have a function to control the minimzed played)even if that the option is maded for Winamp.

Integration into StatBar should be done by their developer(s). Besides, you can use global shortcuts or Systray Control to do the exact same thing.

But that function is maded for Winamp,so why KMPlayer also works even without pointing where KMPlayer is?

KMPlayer pretends to be Winamp, probably by creating a hidden window to catch the control commands. XMPlay (or an intermediate application) could do this as well, but it's not the most elegant way.

Hi. As to me, I do not want to be the first who start 3.5 bug topic for one of my respectable software.
But, I should inform that xmp-ds.dll cause Xmplay crash when clickig on Output menu in Options and stuff.

BTW suggestion: In options-plugins section maybe it is reasonable to use table form of listing plugins, were second coloumn show filename of a plugin. It would be easier then to navigate and update them. Otherwise, the file information could be shown some other way (status bars, hints etc.)

Good luck.

Do you have the latest xmp-ds.dll (rev 3a)?

As I see on Xmplay/plugins page the latest xmp-ds.dll is rev3
I have this one.
Just tested xmp-ds.dll from your link, but the problem remains.
