quick notes
1. Genre list is not included with plug-in setup. The plug-in will automatically remember anything you type in genre field and store it in genres.txt in Winamp directory. If you want to have in_mp3-like genre list and don't feel like typing it, you can download it from http://www.blorp.com/~peter/genres.txt (put it in Winamp directory). Thanks to everyone who sent me genre list files :) Note that the genre list is shared with my other input plug-ins (in_midi, in_vqf).
2. Updates (if any) will be (usually) available at http://www.blorp.com/~peter/zips/in_vorbis.exe
3. DO NOT use 24/32bit output unless you really know what it does (and NO, Audigy DOES NOT handle it). Leave the default setting (16bit).
4. If you want to bypass 'special' field names in title formatting (eg. to display tags like "FILENAME" from file instead of displaying file name), add _vorbis_ before tag name, eg. "%_vorbis_filename%".
* what's new in v1.2 *
- option to fix seeking info in saved streams. phew. you can also fix previously saved files (use button in config)
- rewritten title formatting code, now much more powerful (documentation still incomplete)
- option to use title formatting for filenames of saved streams
- streaming tweaks
- rewritten whole tag editor (yay) - you can switch between simple and advanced modes at any time now; chained streams are fully supported
- no more libvorbis.dll, improved safety / compatibility
- config now stored in windows registry instead of winamp.ini; killed all idiotic field length limits etc
- HACK - unicode filenames partially supported (may or may not work)
- rewritten playback code, now much more reliable; chained streams work 100% correctly
* F A Q *
Q: Whenever I try to start playback, I get "The specified format is not supported or cannot be translated (...)" error message. Why ?
A: Go to Winamp preferences / plugins / input / Nullsoft Vorbis Decoder, click config, set output format to 16-bit. 24 mode DOES NOT work on most of available sound cards. And if it does, it's usually downsampled to 16bit in drivers.
Q: I get "Couldn't create secondary buffer" / "Couldn't set output format" error message.
A: Read above.
Q: I've set output format to 24 and my music sounds awful.
A: Disable EQ and any DSP plugins. Most of available DSP plugins can't handle any other formats than 16-bit.
Q: Tags written by oggenc commandline or < instert your home-made encoder / tag editor here > aren't read correctly (some characters truncate them).
A: The program which created these tags doesn't encode UTF-8 correctly. Re-tag them with the plug-in or VCE and everything will be OK.
Q: I am having some weird problems with title / playlist display...
A: Enable 'show average bitrate' option.
Q: Streaming doesn't work.
A: Uninstall shit like MAD, mp3pro, etc. and try again. If you have old win95, install winsock2 update from microsoft.
