Known Issues
Earmarked for fixing in 5.9.1
About dialog => Credits
No longer supports unicode chars
Unicode support in Plush was broken during the migration to VS2019
AVS Editor
Main menu no longer localized
Will hopefully be fixed for 5.9.1
Milkdrop
Some presets produce errors (error in per-frame code, etc.)
Another ill-effect of the migration process.
For now, we’ve force-enabled the „suppress all warnings“ setting,
removed the worst affected presets from the package,
and (on upgrades) we’ve renamed the 11 worst affected presets with the .off extension.
We hope to fix it fully for 5.9.1
ReplayGain calculation broken for vorbis files (.ogg)
This is also an issue in 5.8
Discovered too late, will hopefully be fixed for 5.9.1
NSV VP3 decoder = broken/missing
ml_wire Podcasts
omBrowser uses IE(10) engine, which some podcast sites no longer support.
We fixed https subscriptions in general,
but if manual https subscriptions don’t work, try http instead.
For 5.9.1 and beyond, we can look at replacing the internal browser engine with e.g. Mozilla or Chromium.
Bento skin
„Options => Appearance => Show Artist Information Buttons“
is still in the menu, even though we’ve removed them.
Note, we’ve also disabled links in MCV (Artist, Album, etc. no longer clickable)
