foo_vis_shpeck, Winamp visualisation plugins wrapper Options

[Yirkha]

Shpeck is a component which can load and run Winamp visualisation plugins under foobar2000. Plugins capable of running in an "embedded window" can be put into a Columns UI panel too.

ZIPed distribution contains a README file with short installation guide and changelog.
Please read the rest of this topic before asking, or at least use the fast search function - see the bottom left corner of the page. And use the [​codebox] instead of [code​] for crash dumps to keep them short. Thanks!

Current version is Shpeck 0.3.7 from 2009/09/24.

FAQ:

• Some plugins like MilkDrop 2 or NSFS are not detected.
  Copy the NSCRT.DLL file from Winamp's root directory somewhere, where the Windows DLL loader can find it (e.g. your directory with foobar2000.exe) - not needed since v0.3.0, they can be left in the Plugins directory too.
• MilkDrop 1 or AVS randomly crashes.
  They are not compatible with DEP, there is no fix available AFAIK. Edit: Fix for MilkDrop 1.04 here.

Original first post:

Hi guys,

I came across a backup of my old foobar 0.8.whatever installation with foo_vis_bacon and Milkdrop yesterday and I thought it would be nice to see some of the carefuly crafted presets again. So I grabbed some other unused stuff from under my desk and hacked together the following thing over night.

While praising the Nullsoft's eternal wisdom about ingenious plug-in design, I gradually realized it actually works somehow (i.e. with more than one particular plug-in and on more than one machine) and it's quite usable too (i.e. not just with a hardcoded path to one plug-in DLL and half-supported API). So I decided to release it for public use.

I'm sure nobody cares about "WHEEE TEH COLORIZZZED PIXELZ!!!11 AND MOOVINK TO MY MUZAXX!! LULZZ!!" any more, but here is the link anyway:

Enjoy!

It says Winamp is not required yet when selecting the Winamp folder the 'OK' button is disabled. I'm guessing this is because it can't see winamp.exe? So if winamp is not required why is it required to set the milkdrop directory >.>



Also, after installing winamp the plugin gets c++ runtime errors after selecting the winamp directory, and then crashes when trying to use the visualisation.
