The compiled skin updates are now up on the XMPlay page.

1. Change the year in the phrase "XMPlay Support is © 2006 by Rah'Dick & Keltic Danor" on the bottom of the support page and in the "copyright © 2003-2006 un4seen developments. all rights reserved." phrase on the un4seen site to 2007

2. Is it possible to create multilingual support site based on the actual one? I could help with the translation of the materials to the Russian.

Zarggg · « **Reply #130 on:** 15 Apr '07 - 17:30 »

That's not how copyright works, Auren. The date of copyright is the date of first publication, followed by the date(s) of any major revisions, if any. ("Major" meaning: it could be seen as a separate work; in the case of a website, this could mean a total overhaul of site look/function.)

Rah'Dick ,

Another 'windows classic 2' update is waiting for the support page update .

Thanks for detailed explanation

But XMPlay changed its version to 3.4 in 2007, isn't it? Isn't this a major revision?

That's true, but it has nothing to do with the copyright of the website

Hi Rah'Dick,
Please can you add my Sxmp plugin for X-chat to your "Other Add-ons" section?
You can see my plugin here http://www.tearsinrain.it/

Thanks

Rah'Dick · « **Reply #135 on:** 12 Jul '07 - 13:06 »

I will, eventually... I'm sorry, but I'm pretty busy with my diploma thesis right now. I barely have time for my girlfriend.

I'm afraid the situation will stay like this for another 2-3 months, when I'm finished.

RobertPaulson · « **Reply #136 on:** 13 Aug '07 - 22:32 »

Hey thanks for the plug-in. Good luck with your thesis ... just a request if you could update the scrobbler to also upload XMPlay's history from the library ... many thanks

I think you wanted to write your post in xmp-scrobbler thread :-)

Anyway, uploading history may be problematic, because Last.fm server doesn't allow submitting anything with timestamp older than the last successfully submitted track.

Zarggg · « **Reply #138 on:** 15 Aug '07 - 18:47 »

Don't tell iSproggler that. They seem to be able to get around it.

Hmm, sounds interesting, maybe I'll check it out just out of curiosity now :-)

Zarggg · « **Reply #140 on:** 16 Aug '07 - 18:27 »

I just checked the changelog on the protocol you posted in the plugin thread, and I guess this would be the relevant entry:

Documentation changed to indicate relaxation of spam checking to better support portable media players.

It's possible, but I remember that when I started xmp-scrobbler development I once got a lot of these "spam trigger" messages because my code submitted several songs in short time period. I don't know how this relates to being able to submit tracks "from the past", but I'll definitely check that out soon.

My list of suggested Support Site improvements:

First start and Output options panel: some new screenshots (because of the larger eaqualizer).
Informational section: 'double-click to make any visual go full-screen'.
Understanding the options: new pages: Appearance, Library (folder monitoring), Output (with various output plugins), and the screenshots need some updating to cover rearrangements on various pages.
External encoders: 'STDIN means - instead of %i', perhaps add a recommended setting for LAME (lame - %o --preset standard) and a hint to use 'lame --help' if one wants to know more options.
A large button linking to the forum on the main page, redirecting questions from the comments to the forum.
Ian edited the MSN-plugin to work with the new DSP interface, and Cris made a plugin for HyperIM, link here. (Other Addons)
External Encoders: current LAME version is 3.70, Ogg Vorbis is also updated, but I recommend oggenc2 (or oggenc2-lancer with a faster pc). Perhaps a link to RareWares?
Link to forum search under the Support Site search box?

Although Ian doesn't bloat XMPlay, he surely added a lot of options since the last major revision of the Support Site. I don't expect the Support Site to cover all of them, but I guess Folder Monitoring and Output Plugins are quite essential for the latest version.

But you should know I'm still a happy user of the Support Site

. Most articles still match with XMPlay, and there's no other place with so many screenshots and clear guides on how XMPlay works (the manual is a little harder to understand). But first things first: good luck with your thesis and exam!

Rah'Dick · « **Reply #143 on:** 3 Sep '07 - 17:58 »

Wow, thanks, Dotpitch.

Note to myself: add a distribution notice for computer magazine publishers to the contact page.

Raul · « **Reply #144 on:** 5 Sep '07 - 17:46 »

I am writing you from Argentina, where I live. I want to thank you for your XMPlay program, which I´m using since its version # 2. I saw it growing up and improve version after version, reaching an outstanding degree of excellence, far away from programs of the same kind. I use it not just as Player but also as Ripper, associated with Lame program. I would like to ask you for something, if it is possible: after executing Play or Ripper, to have an option of "Shut down the PC when DONE". If this is not possible, that´s fine, your program can not be improved!! Sorry for my english, obviously, is not my native language...Kind regards,Raul.

raina · « **Reply #145 on:** 5 Sep '07 - 18:14 »

Unfortunately that's not currently possible. It (Exit XMPlay/Shutdown etc.. after finished task X) has been suggested as a feature for upcoming versions of XMPlay, though.

Dotpitch · « **Reply #146 on:** 6 Sep '07 - 23:05 »

MIDI: rev 2 to rev 3.
New: Ganbatte! .D00 file player (link).
SID: 25a to 25b.
New: WASAPI output plugin (for Windows Vista).
RealAudio: beta to beta 7.
Delix: test version 7a to test version 8c.
FLAC: rev 4 to rev 5.
OddCast: 2.0.13 to 3.1.18 (some encoders require licences to broadcast over the internet)
- MP3 (lame_enc.dll, comes with LAME, on RareWares)
- Ogg Vorbis (ogg.dll, various tuned versions also available here under 'Dynamic Library')
- Ogg FLAC (libOggFLAC.dll, libFLAC.dll)
- AAC (libfaac.dll, on RareWares)

Can you open the with the 'Open file'-dialog, or add them to playlist, instead of drag'n'dropping? In Options and stuff > Playlist, is 'Verify file content' checked, and are xm and it not on your ignore list? Can you give an example of or a link to a file that is not working?

DjKaczor · « **Reply #149 on:** 20 Sep '07 - 20:51 »

I was trying to add file witch "open-file" but its do nothing. On ignore list i have only mpg and avi. I unchecked the verify file content and now are appear (songs name) but its red line crossed and can't be played. There is a link to some modules which i can't play.
