What needs to be done on the Support site?
I can help out if you want.

Trend Micro seems to dislike the support site... I got this message today when trying to visit:

Well, then probably do this? I can't see how this couldn't be a false positive.

Like, for example, the site has been hacked.
OR, Philippe was a victim of some malware (or DNS poisoning attack) that made him connect to an IP other than 69.164.202.98 while making him believe he was connecting to the support site..

What security suite do you have of Trend Micro? Personal or business?

If his PC was opening a completely different site, his software would have reported that address, because that is what it's blocking. A false positive is most likely.

hostname != IP address.
If his whole computer believes that 'support.xmplay.com' points to <some IP in SovietCraxorzHosting>, it'll still mention that hostname when connecting to latter.

Business. At work.
And it happened when I clicked on the link on the XMPLAY main page. No problem from home, but no TrendMicro at home, so...

I do believe it's a false positve. However the only person worth reporting it to TrendMicro would be the site registered owner. Anybody else reporting a false positive is wasting his time.

Does the message contain a link or an address where feedback can be provided? Is there any way to get more information about what the actual problem is they diagnosed? I can't seem to find anything other than viruses in their online database.

The support site is no longer blocked by TrendMicro. (2010-10-21)

How's the Support Site rebuild coming along? Does the new backend need some testers? ;)

Thanks amit  ;)

Just letting the better than ever XMPlay community know that XMPlay Support is still looking for at least one more volunteer to contribute to the maintenance and continued enhancement of the site. This is directed at the older forum members but others may be considered.

I'm also looking for someone with some handy artsy skills for a couple of basic promotional use images (Promote); meaning the odd wallpaper and such, and also something else in the works which needs a better graphical flair than what I have myself.

Message me if you have any questions or are interesting in either.

Cool site, but the font color is too light on the white background.

I've made it a little darker, let me know if I need to go a bit more.

Well guys with G-Force and Whitecap being added along side the ultra rare Arvi's Waveform (With source!) and the brand new xmp-coverart we now have 106 107 111! sonique visuals collected. Not just the largest collection of them in the world by far, but likely the only real collection left as well.

I doubt any more old visuals will be found as Sonique's presence around the web is rapidly declining, any visuals which I may have missed have long since been deleted. Even the current G-Force and Whitecaps I uploaded were from a backup of the Support Site in 2004(!).

On the brightside that just means its all new ones from here on in right? ;D

P.s. I've uploaded G-Force and Whitecap even though they don't currently work in 3.6, they do work in various other versions of XMPlay so its probably something fiddly. Stay up to date with your stuff versions and I imagine it'll work itself out soon enough. Works in the latest stuff version, be sure to update before trying.

You listed G-Force as version 4.7.1, but it's actually 2.7.1.. The most recent (and shareware) version of G-Force is 4.1.3, and it should work with xmp-wavis. Soundspectrum used to make an .svp version as well, but XMPlay is no longer listed as a compatible player, so I guess they stopped doing that.

Ah typo :)

And yes these are around the last svp versions of both plugins that were released, might be a couple behind but not too bad. I have tried xmp-wavis out as I had planned to add it to the site as well but I'm having some heavy stability problems so far.

G-Force v2.2 works well in XMPlay 3.6 and in recent stuff versions. :)
