Winamp Visualisations in XMPlay (xmp-wavis rev.7, source code)

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.

Select the three littledots (located to the left of the 'Module' option.)

Then select your Winamp plug-ins folder.

If you don't have any, you can download the latest version of the Winamp player from the official website (winamp_latest_full.exe). Unzip it — I use 7-Zip — and copy the plug-ins folder somewhere.

You may wish to clean, rename and move the folder out of your XMP folder to avoid a DLL crash when you start XMPlay.
