great this libmodplug !
I'm on a project of a plugin playing many exotic formats (like deli) for an MMB appli (using SC68 68x emulator). But I have some problems with formats like MED, TFMX, etc...
do you think about a dll/static lib to use from a plugin for example ?

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 14:52

I have also thought about using a 68k emu do play more exotic amiga formats. sc68 emulator only plays it's own .sc68-files AFAIK though... What's a MMB application? And I don't understand your question...

Shoonay · 14 April 2008, 15:04

Thanks, works pretty fine (for the very 1st version

) on me Vista x64 here, bLAZEy!

PS: Don't mind Ironclaw, the scanlines he's frequently using had completely messed with his point of view.

MazinKaesar · 14 April 2008, 15:30

I still use modplug player ... O_o

Multimedia Builder (using Fmod by default)
you use codec *.dll . About "dll/static lib for a plugin", will it be possible to use one of these codec_format.dll from a personal program () ?

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 18:31

the dll's can be used in any program that uses fmod.

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 18:52

Behold, a new version it out!

New features:

Drag and drop files
Reverb
Normalizer
Set default sound length for sounds with unknown length
Remembers windows size and position
Current sound is green in playlist
Settings dialog (and all settings are saved)
Click on time switches between elapsed and remaining time
Changed font of the time since it wasn't a standard font for Windows

Bug fixes:

vgz-files didn't work

Get it here

OddbOd · 14 April 2008, 20:37

A few immediately obvious things:

- Please add song loading from command-line.

- Output level (green bar) is not reset to zero when stop button is pressed.

- Seekbar only responds to handle dragging, clicking on it does nothing.

- DSM files do not play correctly and can crash the player, not your fault, all modplug based players/plugins fail on these files. Example files.

- The playback speed control doesn't work properly e.g. while a song is playing drag the slider knob up, now, while keeping the mouse button depressed, drag the mouse pointer past the upper edge of the player window. The slider will snap back to 100% but the player will play at the wrong speed.

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 21:22

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeah, if a song format isnn't played accurately it isn't really much to do about it since I use a library to play each format (unless that library has been updated).

The last thing isn't really a major problem, that's not really normal behaviour, is it?

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 22:25

Actually I can't reproduce that last thing. When it snaps back to 100% my sound also snaps back too 100%

Shoonay · 14 April 2008, 22:31

Cool, I like the way [Normalize] pumpsup the volume on those quiet SIDs!

Oh, BTW, how to change sub-tunes in SIDs?

bLAZER · 14 April 2008, 22:39

At the moment.. you can't

In next version you will be able to somewhat primitive at least.

Shoonay · 14 April 2008, 22:48

I'd also like a "fixed" main window size, so the user would not be able to freely resize it.
Also, just a thought... could you associate the proggie with the AC3Filter so the sound would fill all the 5.1 speakers?

---=== EDITED ===---
Cancel that last one, I forgot Viśta does it automatically as long as the output sound is at least in stereo

bLAZER · 16 April 2008, 22:58

continue your effort, good job

this is strange, always when somebody want to make something new there is always a guy to try to discourage him.If you don't like something just ignore it but what is the goal to critic it so negatively, with that kind of reaction, no future innovations. an application can't play all format in its first realease and then what ? The last update show that the supported formats will grow.
once again thank you blazer, ignore destructive comments.

Prolly talking about me...BLEH, on you, mr

turrican3 · 17 April 2008, 04:01

nothing personnal ironclaw but this kind of thing happen to many time on eab with other guys than you.
You can give your point of view but try to do it softly next time, don't destroy a new project directly. You don't like it ok but wait to see later improvement before critic perhaps in some years you will prefer this one.
peace

by the way funny post

ps:

my preferred player is winamp too

but i don't want compare a player which are on pc for many years to a new one.
exemple windows 95 was a bad os and now.... it still a bad and slow os (bad exemple).

bLAZER · 18 April 2008, 17:08

New version!
0.3
Integrated Prowizard - check history.txt for formats supported
Subsong support
Sounds can be added from commandline (filenames separated by space)
Seeking is now working in more formats (nsf for example)
VU-meter, timer and slider are reset when pressing stop or last song in playlist has ended
Playlist window's visibility saved in settings
Made buttons that looks a bit nicer

Bug fixes:
gzipped files could be max 5 mb when uncompressed, now could be of any size

Shoonay · 18 April 2008, 17:20

1. Speaker filling is now "broken", all SID's and MP3's I've tested only play in right front and left front channels.

2. MP3's with international signs in names are ignored. Try my Marek Biliński post
