oh, in WindowsXP.

When I exit XMPlay Visual C++ always crashes and comes with 3 error boxes. This is happening because of Audioscrobbler. 0.9.8.7 and 0.9.8.6 both have this problem.
I run a genuine copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1.

1st:

2nd:

3rd:

It doesn't matter how I exit XMPlay.

@irix : can you provide the last lines of the xmp-scrobbler log file ?

@mk0 : it's no longer win XP compatible, I'm looking for a solution but don't hope anything

@saga : the bug is fixed on my local machine, wait a few days for a proper release

It doesn't make an entry for this happening, haven't tried the new version yet.

Thanks, works perfectly.

Out of curiosity, why was the cue file incomplete though? I cannot spot any problems with my bare eyes.

irix · « **Reply #807 on:** 25 Aug '16 - 11:00 »

New version exits normal again, very nice

when an artist/title is missing, like the track 5 in your file :

Code: [Select]

  TRACK 05 AUDIO
    PERFORMER ""
    TITLE "Unknown"

(the problem is that the performer is empty)

the tracklist i received from xmplay has a slightly different format and that part of the code was not working that well ^^

now in such case the track is still scrobbled, but i think the last.fm server will refuse it.

saga · « **Reply #810 on:** 25 Aug '16 - 13:04 »

Yeah, it shouldn't be scrobbled if there is no artist assigned (what would be the point?).

raina · « **Reply #811 on:** 26 Aug '16 - 08:39 »

It would seem logical to fall back on the disc PERFORMER (as it seems redundant to repeat PERFORMER per TRACK in most cases) but would that be out of spec?

saga · « **Reply #812 on:** 26 Aug '16 - 11:17 »

It would definitely not be the intention in this particular case, where the particular track name / author is not known.

saga · « **Reply #813 on:** 29 Nov '16 - 17:41 »

A deadlock in the xmp-scrobbler plugin has been found in the 3.8 bug report thread: https://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=15425.msg122271#msg122271

Hi there!

If anyone is interested, my alternative scrobbling plugin "XMPlay Sharp Scrobbler" has moved to github, and I just released a new version (mostly to add logging).

I've been using it almost daily for more than a year now...

Download: https://github.com/mlaily/xmp-sharp-scrobbler/releases/tag/0.3.0.0

Enjoy

HavaR · « **Reply #815 on:** 29 Mar '17 - 11:37 »

I have also been using XMPlay Sharp Scrobbler for well over a year, and haven't really kept up with this thread because it works!

Thanks for the update though

yaurthek · « **Reply #816 on:** 30 Mar '17 - 18:57 »

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you like it

EDIT: btw, last.fm just revoked my API key without any explanation, so I uploaded a new release with a new key: https://github.com/mlaily/xmp-sharp-scrobbler/releases/tag/0.4.0.0

(The previous key was a "spare" one I originally didn't intend to use for this plugin, but at the time I released the first version, the api registration didn't work at all (it's still broken but not completely) so I had no other choice but to use it)

pilau · « **Reply #817 on:** 26 Jul '17 - 13:04 »

Thank for the C# plugin Yaurthek! It works excellently!

Rachel · « **Reply #818 on:** 5 Jul '18 - 21:00 »

I am new at XMPlay, so please excuse me if my question is an easy one. I have been trying to save parts of MP3 with XMPlay. I can save, say, from 2 to 4 (in a 4-minute audio clip), but how do I get from 2 to 3? It always saves to the very end...

saga · « **Reply #819 on:** 6 Jul '18 - 13:45 »

Rachel: It would be more sensible to use a tool like mp3DirectCut for this task, which also has the advantage that the MP3 file is not going to be encoded twice like it would be in XMPlay.

Rachel · « **Reply #820 on:** 8 Jul '18 - 03:56 »

Thanks, saga! However, I noticed that the program you mentioned creates very large MP3s. I tested XMPlay and your mp3DirectCut: Although you said that the file is not encoded twice, I noticed that in a 4-minute clip XMPlay created (from minute 2 until the end) 3 MB file, and mp3DirectCut created 5 MB file.

saga · « **Reply #821 on:** 8 Jul '18 - 11:19 »

That means that XMPlay is encoding the file at a lower bitrate than the original. mp3DirectCut makes an exact copy of the original file with exactly the same quality as the original - With the settings you apparently chose, XMPlay produces a lower-quality version of the same file.

Rachel · « **Reply #822 on:** 12 Jul '18 - 14:13 »

I have been experimenting for a couple of days and, indeed, the bitrate is the same! Can XMPlay do that too or not? (I have not changed the factory settings.) A side question, saga: Is there a program that can manipulate video clips as easy and efficiently as mp3DirectCut can service audio files?

saga · « **Reply #823 on:** 14 Jul '18 - 20:11 »

XMPlay cannot do it the same way as mp3DirectCut does, no. mp3DirectCut was specifically made to losslessly cut MP3 files, and as a result it can only do very basic operations on the audio data - XMPlay can do a lot more, and thus does not provide a "special case" for exact lossless MP3 cutting. But I'm sure you will get used to mp3DirectCut very quickly and will learn to use it at speed of light!

For video, you can try AviDemux - if you use the "copy" option for audio and video streams, it will try to not re-encode the video and audio data, similarly to what mp3DirectCut does.

Rachel · « **Reply #824 on:** 20 Jul '18 - 19:57 »

I am so grateful to you, saga, for these programs! I still have not figured out if it's possible to inject subtitles into video using AviDemux (I could not find that within the interface), otherwise everything is great! You are so wise…
