An indie trying to do something good via WACUP (my take on the media players of yesteryear) 😎👍 Prior Winamp (until v5.666) & SHOUTcast (until v2.4.7) dev.

How wonderful another build & another set of fecking false positives which prevent getting out the needed build stability updates. I have to assume this is because I'm using nsis, not being code signed, direction of the wind, "ai" hallucinations, something else that I'm missing but I'm tired of it!

When a program has crashed a few times doing the same action am I just me expecting too much from users to have a look at the "known issues" link that's being shown to them as part of the crash collection or even just looking for a set of known build issues instead of repeating it another 10 times.

It's been somewhat quiet from me but here's a quick look back at things for 2024, what I hope for 2025 & that there's a new #WACUP beta build 1.99.24.20678 now being tested🎄 A new preview will come out next month once some aspects are have been resolved. www.patreon.com/posts/wacup-...

It's crazy to think that @ocremix.org has been a part of my life for 25 years! #VGM #remixes have been my go to background #music for work, study and #play for so long/I can't imagine life without them. They permanently live in @doctoro.bsky.social's #WACUP! Thank you to all of the remixers! #HBD🥳🎉🎊

#WACUP 1.99.22.20202 preview builds are now available. A relatively small set of changes for this one & gets a bit closer to dropping one of the re-used plug-ins whilst allowing the x64 build to play MP3 & AAC internet radio streams📻 www.patreon.com/posts/wacup-... has a bit more info. -dro

#WACUP preview build 1.99.21.20088 is now available & I described it in the beta releases thread notes as "refinement rather than anything revolutionary" which sometimes is what a build needs to be. www.patreon.com/posts/wacup-... has more information & related links for this update. -dro

Finally getting around to implementing a tiled / details mode for the album art filter panel results which should resolve some on-going complaints. Visually it's a bit different from winamp's ml_local but this should be decent enough even if WINE doesn't implement the tiled mode. -dro

#WACUP build 1.99.15.19320 went up last night as a quick fix for an ironic crash from a change meant to avoid crashes (sorry to all for that) & a memory leak. -dro

It's been just over 3 years since the last time a #WACUP preview build indicated an update was available. That's now happened with build 1.99.12.18980 available with a cumulative changelog of over 1701 entries compared to 2021's build 1.0.21.7236. getwacup.com/preview/
