Blank files instead of delete files due to OBS's missing files behaviour #11

Closed Luna-Nocturna closed 1 year ago

Luna-Nocturna commented 1 year ago

Hello,

I've since a few days been playing your your plugin and it's the best one I can find for this job. So great job!

However that said if Winamp isn't running when I launch OBS it'll give me the missing files pop up they implemented for missing resource files. Is it possible for the plugin to wipe the content of the txt and save a blank/transparent png if no track is playing and when you exit Winamp?

For the time being I've added "--disable-missing-files-check" at the launch paremeters for OBS but then it'll disable the feature as a whole. Maybe there's also another solution as well I'm unaware of.

Thanks in advance!

I have noticed that as well. I usually hit Escape on that dialog box but it is definitely annoying. I'll try the empty file approach you mentioned.

Both #5 and #11 should be fixed in the development snapshot build 24. You can download that and let me know if they're both working for you. If so, I'll release it as 1.2.0.0.

Note that the default album art is, somewhat arbitrarily, a 1×1 opaque black PNG when the file has no art, when Winamp is paused/stopped, and when you exit Winamp. If you instead want this to be transparent, as written in the issue description, you can save a custom image file to emptyAlbumArt.png in the Winamp installation directory, and the plugin will use that instead of the built-in black image.

Released in 2.0.0.0.

There are now two placeholder images you can specify, emptyAlbumArt.png when the song has no artwork, and stoppedAlbumArt.png when no song is playing. For the OBS case you should probably copy your placeholder image to both files.
