Thnx for update. Great plugin to play OctaMED music with synth (not supported in libopenmpt)

v1.0.26, 2019-01-09
   THE FOLLOWING CHANGES ARE EXPERIMENTAL AND MAY CAUSE PLAYBACK ERRORS.
   The only goal is to allow .S3M (with Adlib instruments) and Adlib formats (.AMD, .HSC and .RAD) files to be tested.
    · re-enabled broken synth chip and Adlib emulation (Removed by Claudio Matsuoka from libXMP since version 4.4.0)
    · added configuration setting to toggle support for .S3M files with Adlib instruments
    · re-enabled (again) Adlib formats .AMD, .HSC and .RAD

Thank you for a new release. No more updates provided for libxmp (required for in_xmp) and xmp.exe?

If i update libxmp with these experimental changes, there will be no option in in_xmp and xmp.exe to toggle support for Adlib format and S3M (with Adlib instruments) files. They will playback by default.

What do you think ?

XMP.exe was updated last in July 2016, so it missed out all further updates from v1.0.23 onwards. And LibXMP was updated last in October 2016, missing all further updates from v1.0.24 onwards.

Perhaps you can provide two sets of XMP.exe and LibXMP? One set of XMP.exe and LibXMP updated to the previous v1.0.25, and the other set updated to current v1.0.26. This way we have the freedom to choose, without maneuvering into a dead end due to the experimental nature of the current update.

Btw, I overhauled the file Formats.txt a little to improve the readability. I send you a PM, please feel free to use it or not as you see fit.

For xmp.exe it doesn't really make a lot of sense to have this option, anyway? As it's not a plugin to anything else, the user chooses which files the want to play with it anyway.

Thanks ! I'll include the new formats.txt in the next release.

libxmp.dll 4.4.1 is the latest version.
Since version 1.0.23 of xmp-libxmp, updates are only related to plugin features.

Instead of updating in_xmp.dll with the same features of xmp-libxmp (too much work :D), i'll provide a new libxmp.dll 4.4.1 Adlib.
No need to update xmp.exe

Is it good enough for everyone ?

Hi.. gave it a quick 5 minute test.

Local files (on harddrive) play through the plugin... while web links to .mod files seem to play using XMPlay's built in decoder...
I listen to mods that way quite often... basically dragging web link, let's say for example http://artscene.textfiles.com/music/mods/MODS/MODLAND/Dreamer/ into XMPlay

http://artscene.textfiles.com/music/mods/MODS/MODLAND/Dreamer/black%20queen.mod
isn't playing correctly... (it plays fine using built in decoder and xmp-openmpt plugin)
It's a good tune to test players due to being *weird* with pattern jumps etc... tune to WATCH patterns and listen...

I'm not the author of LIBXMP library. I only wrote the plugin  :)
I'll open an issue on https://github.com/libxmp/libxmp/issues

Black Queen not playing correctly is a known issue: https://github.com/libxmp/libxmp/issues/124
I think that's more or less an architectural issue of how XMP detects backwards jumps so it cannot be fixed easily.

Just noticed one oddity... For tunes with more than 16 subsongs.. it only detects first 16 and no more, tested number of different mods and other formats... 16 subsongs seems to be the limit..


http://ftp.modland.com/pub/modules/Protracker/Blaizer/pinball%20fantasies%20-%20party%20land.mod

xmplay built in player (41 subsongs)
via xmp-openmpt (41 subsongs)
via xmp-libxmp (16 subsongs)

http://ftp.modland.com/pub/modules/Protracker/Blaizer/pinball%20illusions%20-%20extreme%20sports.mod

xmplay built in player (22 subsongs)
via xmp-openmpt (22 subsongs)
via xmp-libxmp (16 subsongs)

This is a limitation of libxmp and not a problem of the plugin itself. It will be lifted in the next libxmp update: https://github.com/libxmp/libxmp/pull/382

I'm having problems with .med file playback regarding priority filetypes.

I've also got the Delix plugin installed and it insists on playing .med files.

In xmp-libxmp's settings I've got all 'med' types selected in the 'formats' tab, and in its 'priority filetypes' field I entered 'med'.

Sadly to no avail my friends as Delix insist on playling them no matter what.

And that one sucks as it gives me no songlength and I can't skip.

If I remove Delix and restart, xmp-libxmp plays all my .med files beautifully no problem.

So based on that it's not the plugin's fault I guess? ...who knows...

Perhaps XMPlay is not 'vicious' enough with whatever data we enter in the 'priority filetypes' field?

I tried to be creative and looked in the .med files' header and all of them start with 'mmd0' or 'mmd1'.

So in a last deperate attempt I went ahead and as a scientific experiment I entered those also in the 'priority filetypes' option, just to see what happens.

Results were the same unfortunately. Delix takes over no matter what.

I'm on XMP 3.8.5 of course.

everytime i run Xmplay with the xmp-libxmp.dll installed in xmplay folder.. Eset deletes xmp-libxmp.dll
i have to go to the Quarantine to restore it.. shows in Eset as SUSPICOUS.
uploaded the file to virustotal..

24/70 classing as Trojan.Lazy.D3F615,  Win32:MalwareX-gen [Trj],

ironically eset on that site says undetected?
when compiled did you compress any section of it?

No compression, compiled in Visual Studio 2022 using option : Runtime Library Multi-threaded (/MT)

Where did you get the plugin ?

from the above link.. ONEDRIVE above..
redownloaded again.. and same thing.. only v1.0.31 aka 4.6.0 gets binned by eset..
downloaded the previous version V1.0.30 aka 4.5.0 and nothing..

sorry for the delay in posting i dont come here daily..

erm i managed to fix the file..
i used an old app called filescanner..
and i modified the .dll by using the following command. fs -spl -rn
-rn optimized the header..
-spl removed spaces. reduced from 36 to 4..
then i used the command
fs -c to give it a new checksum.

and now it loads into xmplay without being removed by eset.
