@All,
Hey up, I didn't mean to hijack this (p)thread! (excuse the pun...).
Anyway, thanks for all your greetings, my Amiga's getting some use again which is good. Hi Curty, good to see you here! .. and Kicko, I haven't yet finished going through my games collection yet
Hi SpotUp, if I remember correctly I put a method in place for a plugin to only pick up playback rights as a last resort; if no other player has picked up the duty (like in Chris' datatypes plugin). It sounds to me like the plugin that is crashing needs some additional code to identify the formats it can play a little better, so to ignore the format/version that is causing the crash, and/or for it to switch to the passive mode to only pick up playback if the other plugin hasn't picked it up 1st. Perhaps a "user" priority should be available within the plugin list.....
Anyway, seeing as people are after some news I can confirm I've totally removed the reliance on pthreads (now uses my own process implementation). I'll be testing this week and clearing down some minor issues and will keep you updated.
Thanks for the responses again.
Oh and Mikey, I'll try and pop up to the next meeting.
Cheers,
Bean.
