Hello, I am using version 4.0.0.20.
In Options > Output > File writing, the file selection button (three dots) does not save the selected folder.
In Options > Tools > Tool, the Add button is disabled.
Best regards.

Oops! Here's an update to get that working again:

Regarding adding a tool, if you first enter a name for it then the "Add" button should get enabled.

It seems to be working as it should.
Thanks

Hello. The "WASAPI plugin rev.4b" seems to have problems with 4.0: it results in a 50% increase in music playback (you can see the track timer speed up too) and a lot of stuttering. This only happens when my output is set to WASAPI. Changing the sample rate doesn't make a difference. I like to use WASAPI because the "Exclusive Mode" means that XMPlay locks the audio signal so that websites cannot interrupt my music. I have disabled WASAPI for the time being to get around this issue, but it would be nice if this could be looked into. I'm on the latest version of Windows 11 (25H2) and XMPlay (4.0.0.1).

I don't seem to be able to reproduce that here. Does changing the buffer length (in the "Output" options page) make any difference? If so, please give a bad setting to check here. Also, is the problem only happening when exclusive mode is enabled (in the "WASAPI" options page) or when it's disabled too?

And did the problem just appear with XMPlay 4.0? If you're unsure, please check with XMPlay 3.8.5, which you can get here:

Hello. Thank you for your quick reply! I tried to move the buffer all the way to the lowest setting, and it seems to have fixed my problem. Very weird. I am not sure if something else updated on my system (like audio driver maybe) during this time, but I never had a problem with the default buffer. I also deleted my settings file before you replied when I was trying to solve this on my own, so I was definitely using the default settings when I was having this problem. I also tested with the old version as you had suggested (3.8.5), and the default buffer length there is also giving me problems now. So I am not yet sure if something changed with Windows or with my audio driver (I updated both Windows and XMPlay at the same time, before this I was using Windows 10).

By the way, small bug I noticed (both on old and new version): the "lock window position" does not lock window size for the extra info window... so I can still resize it. But other than that, everything is working great now. Thank you so much for continuing to support XMPlay after all this time!

To see if it may be something device/driver-specific, do you have another soundcard that you could try for comparison? And does the problem also happen with exclusive mode disabled (in the "WASAPI" options page), or only when it's enabled?

Yeah, the "Lock position" option doesn't currently prevent resizing, eg. the info window's "Auto-resize" option still works.
