Release Notes:
Development Test 4 (2010-10-25)
- Bug fix :
- Updated to latest PAL HGtip, this includes a registry bug fix which got Winamps local product key copied to the portable version. (Oops)
- Testers needed for :
- the adobe flash player support, especially on limited accounts !
You can test this by adding the flash files and try the online services 'Song of the Day' or in the Winamp browser the StreamPad in 'http://www.spinner.com/category/mp3-of-the-day/' or YouTube, should all work ! Please leave a comment about flash player support, also if it all works as expected !
- the adobe flash player support, especially on limited accounts !
Development Test 3 (2010-09-03)
- features added :
- adobe flash player support for limited users. Please read the text file in the App\Flash folder, and make sure you got the latest flash player files 'flash10i.ocx'
Development Test 2 (2010-08-23)
- Secondary-run bug fix
Development Test 1 (2010-08-05): Initial release
- Known bugs :
- When updating from the previous development test, you have to manually copy your files from Data\settings to Data\WinampSettings. Make sure you keep a folder named Data\settings, or the launcher will use the default settings!
There is a bug in the handling of a secondary run, which will delete all current settings. This will be fixed asap !
- features added :
- Surprisingly faster exiting of WinampPortable, thanx to the settings being copied to the local drive
- The Winamp browser & online services now support use of a locally installed adobe flash
- Winamp Portable + PAL 2.1 also has the option to register Flash.ocx located on the usb-drive but this is currently
on your own risk. If you're really brave and do not care aboutleaving registry entries behind and unregistring the local flash.ocx, you can un-comment the specific line in the launcher.ini and stick the needed files in App\Flash. Make sure you get the IExplorer flash files. - Almost all of PAL 2.1 it's new features are used in this launcher, writing XML settings & wild-card support (currently used for updating drive-letters in additional playlists)
- Notes :
- This version is continuation of https://portableapps.com/node/21211
- All of the launcher is updated to PAL 2.1 beta, although DirectoriesMove.nsh had a bug-fix and is available in Other\Source\Segments
BTW: There are some real issues with WinampPortable and redirecting the userprofile (needed for the Winamp online services & browser, etc). Winamps browser likes to open up IExplorer whenever the browser needs to open another tab/window. This conflicts with IExplorer processes running separated of Winamp. Whether IExplorer got started before or after Winamp opened an IExplorer process, the redirected userprofile will or will not be used for either of the processes. Beware, in the redirected userprofile everything (e.g. cookies, temp.InternetFiles, favorites, history, etc.) will be discarded after Winampportable closes. However, if an IExplorer process opened by Winamp, is still running after WinampPoratble is closed, it will keep files-locked in the %TEMP%\WinampPortableTemp directory. The launcher deletes this folder with the /REBOOTOK flag, so will be dealed with on next boot!
If the redirected userprofile is not prefered, the user can disable it with the UserOverrideConfig file WinampPortable\WinampPortable.ini
RedirectUserProfile=false
Additional UserOverrideConfig :
;To specify your music folder: MainMusicDirectory=%PortableApps.comMusic% ;To set Winamp Portable to play on startup: AdditionalParameters="%TEMP%\WinampSettings\Winamp.m3u8"
