It's not a question of learning to read. Many newcomers here are not native speakers of English; they read the words but misunderstand them. We should be sympathetic to this, and change the wording to make it less open to misunderstanding, for example to `Comments and suggestions concerning the XMPlay support site'.

Edit: Thanks, Ian.

[Rah'Dick]

@Brian: Actually, I renamed the thread myself. The admin and the thread creator both can do this by changing the subject of the first post.

[Brian]

It would be good if the latest skins could be put up on the support site, please. I'd like to get my hands on the source of the NNP skin (if the author has made it available) so that I can play around with the fonts. Many thanks.

[Rah'Dick]

I have finally graduated and put up the first batch of updates on the Support Site. Expect more in the near future.

[raina]

Congratulations!

[Brian]

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it leaves me no better off, as the NNP skin author evidently hasn't provided the source. Of course it wouldn't be needed if font customisation were part of the player config...

[Rah'Dick]

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't receive the source. I'll ask the author about that, if I find out his mail address.
There's another new skin in the publishing queue, but before I upload that one, I have to sort out some copyright issues with the author, which used some of my graphics in a way I cannot condone.

Wanted to listen to a couple of .SPCs today and found that the SNESamp version on the site is a little dated. There's a new one (v3.33) at http://www.alpha-ii.com/Download/Main.html#SNESamp and it seems to work fine with XMPlay.

[Zarggg]

Just a caveat: The plugin info window for SNESamp still crashes causes XMPlay to freeze if it is opened more than once.

Edit: Clarification.

Rah'Dick ,

First: Congratulations for your graduation.Good luck in future challenges you plan on taking.

Second: You can update both windows classic and classic mini skins at the support site. For the classic skin you don't even need to make any notification of the update as the fix is so minor. For the mini skin , in addition to the small fix , I added three more overlay colors.

Take care.

Hello,

First of all congrats for this wonderful piece of software. It is my default music player.

I have a small request can you implement a  plugin to play DTS files?

Thanks in advance

[raina]

Uh oh, seems the renaming of the thread wasn't infallible after all...

@Zarggg, here the plugin info acts like a pop-up alert, you have to close it before you can touch XMPlay. Thus no possibility of opening more than one.

@Rah'Dick:
OK, I see that you have found my work and posted it on the site. But...why wasn't I asked about it?
Don't get me wrong...it's not a bad thing that this plug-in was posted on the Support Site, but some things are (probably) confusing for users which don't know what HyperIM is about.

First of all, this is not actually a XMPlay plug-in, but a plug-in for HyperIM (which extracts the needed info from XMPlay by DDE). You cannot install/use this plug-in without having HyperIM installed, therefore I believe that a link to the HyperIM site should be posted as well.

Also, a link to the HyperIM forum thread for this plug-in should be posted, so that the users know where to ask for help if they need to.

You misunderstood me. I mean, if you open the SNESamp plugin window, close it, then open any SNESamp plugin window at any time after that without closing and reopening XMPlay entirely, XMPlay locks up when you go to close it.

I'm sorry. I was pointed to your plug-in by Dotpitch and since I didn't see any mail address on your HyperIM forum post, I didn't care and just put the plug-in up on the Support Site. I'm glad you don't want it to be removed. I'll change the description of the addon.

[Cris]

I'm glad you don't want it to be removed. I'll change the description of the addon.

Why would I want it to be removed? It's my work and I'd like to take advantage of it as many users as possible
In fact, there's also a thread about this plug-in on this forum (here: http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=6572.0), but it's extremely out-of-date, because at that time it seemed nobody cared about it (except raina, to which I thank very much for his support and feedback), so I just continued posting only on the HyperIM forum instead.

*after looking at the new description*
Aaa...much better. Thank you. I'll keep you posted about new versions.

[Brian]

Rah'Dick - according to a comment on the support site, the author of the NNP skin has sent the source to Ian. That was three days ago. Could you please find out what has happened to it? Many thanks.

[Ian @ un4seen]

When the skin was submitted, I emailed the author to ask whether he wanted the sources put on the support site, but got no reply. Perhaps my email got filtered. Anyway, now that he has apparently given permission, I shall send the sources to RD

[Rah'Dick]

...they're up.

By the way, is there an option in this forum software to temporarily disable signatures? I've seen this in other forums and I'd even use it frequently, when posting short two-word replies like this one was supposed to be. I don't want my sig to take up more space than my actual post.

[Ernie]

Sorry to you all, but I had forgotten about this forum (Shame on me)...
I am Ernie (from Almere, the Netherlands) and I've send in the NNP (No Nonsense Player) skin.
If there are any questions, remarks or suggestions, please let me now, but please keep in mind that "NNP" is only my first skinning effort ever.
Indeed e-mails from Ian and Thomas did get caught by my spamrules, but I've put their addresses in my "friend-list", so I hope that problem is solved.
Further more I would like to thank Ian for programming the greatest audioplayer in the world and Thomas for making it known to many people! I can't really imagine why on earth I used a player like WA with that cracky sound and all of those useless options... XMPlay rocks and I love it! 
Hope to see you again on this forum!
