| Post subject: | How to optimise mp3g plugin |
Hello everybody, I have just joined the forum and have a question. I am currently using winamp with vesion 1.4 of the mp3g plugin. I t works great but the only thing is that it is a little bit slow moving to the next page of lyrics. I know there are a few settings which can be altered in the plugin but don't know which setting does what?? Can anybody help Paul

which version of winamp are you using? I run 2.8 with an older cdg plugin, and I don't have ANY problems with page advancing, etc. NEWER versions of winamp don't support the cdg plugins, and I've heard of problems that come up because of that! |

Hi, it's the latest version of winamp , version 5 I think. It's not that bad but it's not quite fast enough in faster songs when you need the next lyrics up quick. I thought it might be because my graphics card isn't fast enough or something like that. |

Think I've sussed it. It's cos I've got the screen resolution's set too high. I've just knocked it down to 16 bit 800 x 600 and it's perfect now |

yeah, if your video card isn't set up right you can have this happen... but also, the higher versions of winamp do NOT accurately support the cdg plug-ins, nor the pacemaker plugin. It's possible that they'll continue to work with it, but be warned... they stopped supporting them at version 2.8! |

Winamp 5 will use all the older style plugins from version 2.x. When they came out with version 3 none of the existing plugins would work with the new release and they caught some flack for it. I've used the CDG and pacemaker plugins extensively with Winamp 5 and have had no problems with it at all. As for the video - remember that your standard TV set only offers about 400 lines of resolution. Running the CDG output at anything higher than VGA (640x480 / 640x400) or so is a waste unless you're either using a computer monitor, a projector, or other device that supports higher resolutions. Sometimes you can even make the picture look WORSE by running a higher resolution because of the conversion made to fit the higher resolution onto the lower resolution output. |

Oh REALLY? From winamp's site, they flat out stated that they weren't going to offer cross support for earlier plug ins! INTERESTING! Thanks Meister! I may upgrade to see if I see a difference on my home machine! |

Direct from the WinAmp FAQ: Will my Winamp 2 plug-ins and Winamp 3 components work in Winamp 5? Winamp 5 currently only supports the Winamp 2 plug-ins. Remember, when you look at the releases, Winamp 3 was more of a mistake they wish they had never released based on the lack of support of previous plug-ins, etc. They even skipped a version number (4) because of this. Remember Version 3 was only out for a short time before they dumped it. Version 5 can even duplicate the previous cpu friendly skin meaning it looks just like Version 2. |
