AlienFX Pidgin + Winamp plugin

[misterb]

This is a winamp plugin, so it does not support piding ;-)
The pidgin plugin is a separate thing.
What did you exactly do and what exactly does not work?

my bad it works, but when I stop or try to change visualization it crashes. shame tho, because it's a cool program. Also is it normal that when you stop all the lights stop working?

And does the pidgin plugin work for the m11x?

It btw crashes all the time

[Ingrater]

Are you stopping / changing the visualization while the music is playing? Because this is a known bug, and I don't know why it crashes. Could be simply avoided by first stop the music and then change / quit the plugin.

I didn't have time yet to build an m11x version fot he pidgin plugin. I will look into that as soon as I find time for it.

I was getting constant crashes at first. I completely removed Winamp and reinstalled it. Suddenly no crashes. Give that a try. I'm using the latest winamp (5.57). Ingrater was using 5.56. The plugin works for both versions.

But PLEASE post the requested information in the readme file. We need to know:
Model:
Operating System:
Winamp Version:
What you did that caused the crash:
How the crash effected the plugin (does it still work?):

My winamp plugin is only working on the left of the keyboard , on the speakers and the alienware logo, i've reinstalled winamp once already and it crashes when ever I quit the plugin. I have Windows 7 64bit. winamp compleatly freezes and i have to end the operation.
v5.572 winamp on M15x
i used the configuration in the readmefile

[Ingrater]

Did you change the model inside the vis_alienfx_config.xml file?
What m15x do you have? All powerfull or area51?

[Lord_Zath]

mevlar, a couple troubleshooting ideas.

1. Did you make sure you properly edited the config file by putting in the correct number for your model laptop?

2. Are you using the latest version of Command Center? I remember Dell came out with one that was even buggier than the older ones so we were all advised to stick with the older one (AO3 perhaps?)...

3. Are you closing out of winamp at once, or are you stopping winamp, then closing it?

Works great! Winamp freezes when i end it sometimes, but other than that it works flawlessly. Great work. Keep up the good work, and Thank YOU!

I've just entered my model number into the config but it did not fix any problems. also the colours don't change from the light blue that it is already configured at with alienfx.

I'm not sure what version of command center i'm using.

I close the plugin before trying to quit winamp but it's at the point where i close the plugin that it freezes winamp.

Edit: Re configured the zones and now the colours work but the right side of the keyboard and speakers still don't light up

When i go into edit zones there is no right/left areas or speakers. just Touchpad, Lightpipe, alienware logo, alienhead, keyboard and touchpad which doesn't match some of the zones on the readme

@mevlar: first i had exactly the same problems as you.
i entered the model number into the wrong line.

sry, this doesnt work very well and im new here

[mevlar]

Right lights problem has been fixed now. Had to add model number a second time as it seems with configurations already in place, it overwrote the model number back to 0 after i changed it.
