Good job. Is your update going to be an official one as in available in the SLDB site as 5.9?

[Fraggie]

new in beta 15:
 - display bugfixes
 - reg clean support

BTW, you'll have to setup the plugin again.

For MUS support, STIL, fadeouts and other stuff you'll have to wait for the Easter, guys.

Wow, you just gave the holiday a meaning.

Cool! Im gonna try this as soon as possible. At one point i was actually doing some research about making a native sid plugin for XMPlayer. But i wanted to support seeking without the songlength database. But i really couldnt figure out the inner workings of the emulation. The sick thing about SID songs is that to play them you are emulating a C64 CPU and soundchip...

Its nice to see a replacement to the really old winamp plugin anyway!

I'm not sure why but this version stops XMPlay from starting, wiping all settings did'nt resolve it.

Also can we get a browse button for the SLDB location?

Good to know what caused it. In another words, the bug is confirmed here.

[Fraggie]

I can't tell what's wrong... It seems to be fine here. Are you sure it is SID plugin's fault?

[Keltic Danor]

Only occurs when beta 17 is present, remove it and it's fine.

Interesting happenings:

- If its in the same dir as XMPlay, xmplay starts but shows no window, must be shut down via taskmanager. No erros

- If its in another dir. XMPlay will start and close straight away. No errors here either.

I'll go redownload 3.2.0.4, just to make extra sure I've got the latest and repost if there is any change.

Well, I downloaded beta 15 from the Support Site and overwrote beta 17. After that XMPlay started normally. That narrows it down a bit, I'd say. I'm running XP SP2.

[Fraggie]

Okay, it should be sorted now.

Speedy. Will test it when I get home.

[raina]

Works fine now! I have to say it's a :)

New in beta 18:
 - added: browse button for SLDB path
 - change: configuration can now be opened while playing
 - fixed: stupid "1/1" subsongs display
 - fixed: even more crashfixes

[Fraggie]

New in beta 19:
 - STIL comments displaying (also for files outside HVSC dir)
 - many SLDB fixes
 - some memory leaks eliminated
 - 13 KB smaller

Note that tags and STIL display will fail if text contains funky characters (like umlauts). It's going to be fixed when new XMPlay update becomes available.

- STIL comments displaying (also for files outside HVSC dir)

Has anyone told you lately you rule?

Nope. We - freeware programmers - get no appereciation.

New in beta 20:
 - STIL: added BUGList comments displaying
 - STIL: added Favourite Top 100 SIDs rank displaying
 - STIL: added comment configuration
 - STIL: some fixes here and there...
 - stereo panning (now you can use headphones )
 - config reading bugfixed
 - workaround for the umlaut bug
 - setting up STIL or SLDB for the first time does no longer require restarting

You'll have to setup STIL again. Now point to a direcotry that contains STIL.txt, BUGList.txt and Creators.txt (usually HVSC/DOCUMENTS). As the HVSC may be archived, these files must not.

Fraggie... We love you.
