Comments and suggestions concerning the XMPlay Support site

[Krstfr]

Links to the latest "stuff" updates can be found at the bottom of the XMPlay webpage (under "Latest stuff").

I meant hosted on the support.xmplay.com site, as it is the only site unblocked at school.
When I try to access it there, it says it is blocked because it is listed as .
Yeah, just .

You could take your personal copy to school with you so that you don't have to download it every time. Or think of a good reason and ask the administrators to unblock un4seen.com.

Or just abide with your school rules...

I have a personal copy with all my plugins and encoders.

I found out about UnderGet.

Don't let the man keep you down.

Seems like the suppoort site is displaying with no style, just like when pages have yet to load the css...
Can someone check and/or confirm this?

The CSS seems to be loaded, but the desktop version now looks like the mobile site (everything in a single column). I guess there's something wrong indeed.

[Ian @ un4seen]

There was a little typo/error in the support site's BASE.CSS file. That has actually been present since 2011, but it looks like it has only just started to cause problems with the server-side CSS file optimization (I guess that was updated recently), apparently breaking the CSS file entirely. Anyway, the typo has now been fixed and the CSS optimization disabled

[Dotpitch]

Indeed, everything is back to normal again .

[piovrauz]

Nice, it's fixed now, thanks.
I'm pretty sure it's something recent cause I recently visited it and it was fine (xmas maybe?)

I think this very effective and most useful forum is an essential support asset. It should <IMHO> be findable in an easier way e.g. bigger letters and prominent placement right at the top or in the side-bars.
In fact I only found it as a link in one of the texts I had been browsing.

Just an idea.

Would somewhere like there be good?

[piovrauz]

Obviously the link to the XMPlay support site being located in the XMPlay sub-page on the un4seen site is not logical enough. /sarcasm

[saga]

No need for all the sarcasm, as far as I understand (and within the context of this thread the assumption makes sense), Nick was unaware of this forum because it's not directly linked on the support site. It would indeed make sense to put a forum link in the menu bar there.

The OpenMPT input plugin on the support page is terribly outdated, would be nice to link to the latest version instead.

[Ian @ un4seen]

Yep, the latest version of the OpenMPT plugin (0.2.6401) has been put up on the support site now.

[saga]

Can you please update the libopenmpt package once again?

[Ian @ un4seen]

Done

If you add a VERSIONINFO resource to the plugin, it could also be added to XMPlay's built-in update notification system.

[saga]

I'll look into that for the next version.

There's a new version of the in_vgm plugin available here: https://vgmrips.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=112
The version on the support site should be updated to this one.

Sounds like a plan.

VGM (version 0.50.1) winamp plugin updated
OpenMPT (0.5.13) xmplay plugin updated

Would it be a hassle to add the page topic/header text to the html <title> tag?
Was searching through browser history, thought that might be a quicker way to find the DDE commands page. But it was hard to pick it out of

I've added the page title into most areas, I may have missed a couple but for most part it should be more informative.
Otherwise searching for DDE up the top right seems to work well enough.

Doing a little experiment on the skins page for fun, I've only set it up on one skin at the moment but I'd welcome any thoughts.

Looks good

Perhaps it would be better to put the thumbnails above the current image rather than below? That would keep them at the same level on the page when the image size varies (as in the example above), so the user only has to move the mouse sideways and not up/down to switch. Another option could be to remove the thumbnails and instead have clickable arrows overlaying the left/right edges of the image to cycle through them.

[Ian @ un4seen]

I just noticed that the update has moved the image expansion button to the top-right of the page (from the top-right of the image) for the other skins and vis. Was that intentional? If not, consider this a bug report
