| Plug-in | Comment |
|---|---|
| X - Crossfader plug-in (fade.dll) | The plug-in loads as expected,
but does
not do it's job anymore. Most likely because it makes assumptions about
undocumented properties of older PM123 versions. The new plug-in interface features of PM123 1.40 should allow to write a more sophisticated solution using a filter plug-in. However, somebody has to do the job. But since PM123 1.40 supports gap-less playback out of the box, it is no longer that important. |
| X - Normalizer plug-in (normal.dll, normhelp.dll) | Will not work because it
utilizes the visual plug-in interface which has changed with PM123 1.32. It also is superseded by the built-in Replay-Gain handling since 1.32rc1. |
| OK - Monkey's Audio decoder (macplay.dll) | Reported to work with PM123 1.40 by Cal. |
| ? - True Audio decoder (ttaplay.dll) | May work, but neither I have a file nor I can create one with OS/2. |
| x - Module files decoder (DPMikMod.dll) | Crashes with pm123 1.40 sooner or later when the playback starts, mostly on the 2nd usage. Reason unknown. Looks like undefined behavior because of a dangling reference to some structure on the stack. No source available. |
| OK - older Ogg Vorbis plug-in (oggplay.dll) |
Works as expected. But since PM123 1.32rc1 a Ogg-Vorbis plug-in is included anyway. Unfortunately it has the same name. But it is entirely different and superior. |
| ? - Musepack decoder (mpcplay.dll) | Untested. I have no such files. |
| ? - WavPack decoder (wvplay.dll) | Untested. I have no such files. |
| OK - FLAC play 1.2.1 (flacplay.dll) | Works as expected. But superseded by flac123.dll, shipped with PM123 1.41. |
Note: When loading older decoder plug-ins you might want to add some extended attributes file types to the plug-in in the properties dialog. This enables you to play files without the standard extensions.
