Carlos11 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) Info I've decided to open a new topic for every new beta (not builds). I think it'll be better to follow the issues as well as to concentrate the suggestions thus feedback. Winamp CD Case Beta 11 The aim of the the first builds is to fix two major bugs: 1) WCC hangs with some bad ID3v2 tags (fixed!) 2) Switch song during fade in/out effects may crash WCC (fixed!) And this first build of beta 11 tries to handle both issues. Thanks Meshuggah for help me fix the ID3v2 again! I've tested some songs with bad ID3v2 tags and all went fine: now WCC will skip ID3v2 bad tags, rather than try and try to read them... About: http://www.closetosoftware.com/wcc.html Download full version (beta 10 full setup - if you don't have WCC installed yet): http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Winam...se/1109367710/1 Download forum build (beta 11 build 21 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccb11.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 107 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc11b107.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 150 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wccb11b150.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 157 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc11b157.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 173 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc11b173.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 178 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc11b178.zip Download forum build (beta 11 build 248 main executable): http://www.closetosoftware.com/temp/wcc11b248.zip - Beta 11 build 92 (26 Oct 2005): + Read ID3 track number when exists + Remove null char that some ID3v2 tag may have + Progress bar added as an option ("Options>Notifier") - Beta 11 build 107 (26 Oct 2005): + New Skin Manager (please configure your notifier position and text format again!): the new skin manager includes all settings that envolves the way a skin should be used or the way it was made to be used by the skin's author. So if you see a skin's screenshot and you download it, it will be really close to it (unless you don't have the same font used...). + Skin Manager: WCC will search first for a "preview.png" to show as a skin's preview, then for the "case.png". + Progress bar custom color added (the control doesn't use absolute color, but pastel tons). - Beta 11 build 150 (08 Jan 2006): + Exclude video filed from WCC features - Beta 11 build 157 (11 Jan 2006): - New skinnable progress bar (*) - Added a new position: "Bottom Notifier" - Pad progress bar left - Set a custom size (pixels) - Select a custom (solid) color instead skin - The progress bar has now a transparent background (*) copy "fbar.bmp" into ...\Skins\Case\" folder - Beta 11 build 173 (18 Jan 2006) - New text option: %time% (*) - Pin to desktop and auto exit bug fixed (*) note that the time will always be displayed at the end of the line, always! - Beta 11 build 178 (19 Jan 2006) - Fixed some progress bar issues (thanks to eek) - Beta 11 build 248 (1 Feb 2006) - pin to desktop issue fixed - playlist issue fixed - better "prompt after" download cover Screenshot: Edited February 1, 2006 by Carlos11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, it's working in my PC... Please, see "Readme.txt" or "Help" (button in Options or Skin Manager) for details. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasoosh Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 (edited) its working and its a great Little software! the prob is: if I'm playing a song that all ready have a Artist - Album.jpg and after that I'm playing a different song (a new one with out a jpg) it doesn't do the search on his own, only if i double click the cd cover. i hope u understood me. Edit: silly me! download cover automatic. :blush: Oh man.....such joy! 10x carlos11 4 the time and effort Edited October 24, 2005 by Namooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All downloaded covers will be saved in a single folder...

If so you have to use a program that does that like Dr.Tag: http://www.drtag.de/en/ WCC was not designed to organize your collection. In order to use WCC with only one single folder make sure that "Artist - Album.jpg" and/or "Cover's Folder" are added to your "Selected settings" in "Options>Read Cover>Read Cover from".

insanekiwi Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) no problems so far. no crashes, no lockups. edit: first bug found. i set wcc so that it opens or closes winamp whenever i launch or close wcc. now whenever i close wcc is reopens instantly after i closed it. sometimes alone, sometimes also launching winamp. i closed it like 5x now and now winamp crashed.

Thanks! 586721262[/snapback] What the...? You're serious? It's never come up for me before, and I do manual searches all the time. Crazy. Nope, no errors yet. I've disabled the fading altogether, though it seems to work fine in this build. It just munches too much CPU for too long to be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-dark Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hello, great software but yesterday I used it without any problem, playing MP3 from my HD. Today I play MP3 from a CD and it doesn't download the covers. I've put the "cover's folder" option in the "read cover from", because I think he was unable to write the cover on the CD. But it doesn't work. The only way to make it works is to download manualy the covers from Amazon.fr. Any suggestion ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
