That is wrong..
The Exe File which used VIS_MILK2 should have a Manifest for the DLL
not the DLL it self.

I don't see how an EXE/DLL is supposed to know what runtime version another DLL will need. And what happens if there's another DLL that needs yet another runtime version? XMP-WAVIS.DLL uses the generic MSVCRT.DLL runtime (which doesn't require a manifest), while VIS_MILK2.DLL uses the MSVCR90.DLL runtime (which does require a manifest). It looks like Microsoft have gone back to the old system for more recent runtimes, so only MSVCR80.DLL (Visual C++ 2005) and MSVCR90.DLL (Visual C++ 2008) need manifests. Dependency Walker can be used to check whether a plugin is using either of those runtimes.

i have written Bass_Vis and work with Visualization more then 8 Year
Bass_Vis work with all Option from any VisPlugin to "IN and OUT" i never use any Manifest inside Bass_Vis.
Also any Exe which used Bass_Vis as Wrapper for Visualization then the EXE must have a Manifest when use VIS_MILK2 for Winamp 5.
If not VIS_MILK2 will not RUN.

You can use Manifest inside the EXE or external as MyExeName.Manifest.
Add a Manifest inside XMP-WAVIS.DLL is not correctly.

ok.. no Problem, no source of  "XMP-WAVIS" so you can nothing Change or finish missing Action for Visualization.
and using XMP-WAVIS of your own risk.

latest Milkdrop no longer use MSVCR90.DLL runtime so a manifest is not needed
latest Milkdrop use Mousewheel support for Option Dialog which is not Support by XMP-WAVIS (Option Config Dialog will also not run)
and so on...

I have so far detected that when using some winamp vis plugins, and we use the mouse click over the progress bar on the xmplay, sometimes instant off, and other after some minutes, both xmplay and plugins get fully locked.

I have requested by MP to the xmp-wavis author some revision but also i want to know the Ian's opinion about this.

I have never really used the xmp-wavis plugin myself, so I'm not familiar with what could be going wrong. But, if you upload a dump file from when it's stuck, I will check if that reveals anything. You can use Task Manager's "Create Dump File" option to generate a dump file once XMPlay and the plugin have gotten stuck, and then ZIP and upload it here:

Hey there
Not sure if anyone is still interested, but 5 years after I promised it, I finally cleaned up and uploaded the source code of this plugin and xmp-coverart.

https://github.com/schellingb/xmp-wavis

The new build available on the github releases page was briefly tested on Windows 10 with the latest XMPlay.
I tried the newest Milkdrop2 (which has become open source in the meantime as well) but it sometimes freezes for me. Older Milkdrop2 versions still run fine as far as I can tell.

Sorry for being (very) late with this, but life got in the way I guess.

Nice, thanks for releasing it.

I still use the old version, and I'll check this one too.

Now, were are all there coders?  ;D

Thanks for the plugin update Barna. It's up on the XMPlay support site now too.

Thanks! I ran the Milkdrop 2.24 and Winamp AVS 1.81d visualizations with this for some time and experienced no crashes.

Let's resurrect this, since it's something I experienced while running milkdrop 2.24 and xmplay using xmp-wavis!

While listening to a radio stream (http://79.120.77.11:8000/blackmetal) I noticed the title  shown is not correct.

Basically I don't see the title of the currently played song, but the stream title.

Winamp shows it correctly.

The title is shown correctly on the main xmplay windows.

The question: how to fix this? Can something be done? Is it a xmp-wavis issue?

It's an annoyance at most, but it would be nice to have this fixed.

I'm guessing that the Winamp vis is sending a IPC_GETPLAYLISTTITLE request (to the vis wrapper) to get the playlist entry's title. The difference is that Winamp sets the playlist entry's title to the Shoutcast song title, while XMPlay keeps them separate (native plugins can request either title). Perhaps an option could be added to the vis wrapper to give the song title instead of the playlist title? I notice in the source code (here) that it is already getting the song title elsewhere.

Nothing I can do then (no coder here), except hope someone will work on it.
