Cannot make wdrp work under Winamp beta 5.8

[vico93]

Althrough i manually edited the .ini file adding my Application ID and changed the DiscordRichPresence folder permissions for every user read/write, i still cant get this plugin to work.

Currently running Windows 10 1903 x64, Winamp 5.8 build 3660 with Bento skin.

Hello, thanks for this feedback! I've tested this plugin with a few versions of Winamp but I can't recall if I tested that version. Once I get around to trying it I'll get back to you.

I tried that exact build - Winamp 5.8 build 3660 but couldn't reproduce any "NOT LOADED" problem.

Since I'm not able to reproduce this, I would like to try and isolate the problem.

If you can, the most obvious things to check are

• Did you try restarting Winamp? (Sorry to ask this, it has cropped up sometimes)
• Do you reproduce the problem on other builds of Winamp?
• Winamp isn't being started in Safe Mode, is it?
• Do you see rich presence for other apps/games you're playing in Discord?

Ok this is weird. Some couple of days after i've opened Winamp and suddently the plugin loaded correctly.

Anyway thanks for the answers!

Oddly, trying to install the plugin in another computer with the same Win10 x64 and Winamp 5.8 b3660 gives me the the problem again.

I've already tried to restart both Winamp and Discord several times and give normal users write access to DiscordRichPresence folder, yet it wont load.

Nevermind: running send-presence.exe with cmd throws the error vcruntime140.dll isn't found, so I've needed to install VC runtime to make it work. After doing that the program ran successful.

Thanks for this all the same, I didn't realize there was a dependency on the VC runtime. I should have this outlined in the readme with a link for where to get it. I'll re-open to track my doing this

Finally, got around to updating the readme. Closing this
