well, soon is here, okay, WillyP, go at it, get it fixed 

[-<WillyP>-]

Fix what? You mean upgrading to SMF2? Soon, my friend.

Oops I just noticed this thread. As for my "correlation remix" files, just delete them when the update takes place. I'll re-upload them later with shorter file names.

[-<WillyP>-]

I shouldn't need to delete them, but I use ftp to make a backup now and then. Then the ftp software chokes and I have to restart the backup.

I did find out it is a limitation of Windows, on my machine, and includes the full path. So I moved my back up folder to root and renamed it 'pd' so that gives me extra characters.

Hey, does the file uploader have a moderation queue? XMPlay just uploaded, but looks like it's still stuck in the queue.

[-<WillyP>-]

There is nothing in the moderation queue, and you should not have to have items approved. I would suggest deleting it and trying again.

Edit:
What is the file extension?
'zip,rar,doc,jpg,gif,png,rpm,gz,bin,hqx,pdf' are allowed in the files section.
'txt, rtf, pdf, xls, doc, ppt, docx, xlsx, pptx, xml, html, htm, php, css, js, zip, rar, ace, arj, 7z, gz, tar, tgz, bz, bzip2, sit' are allowed in the media gallery.

Are you sure the file is not infected with anything?  When I downloaded it from the link you gave me Firefox deleted it after scanning for viruses.  Either it was mistaken for a virus, or maybe it got a virus from your system?

If the file system here scans for viruses it may have quarantined it for the same reason.  Try to get a fresh copy of the file and then re-upload that -- before doing anything to it on your computer.  (And if it works you may want to do a complete antivirus scan).

Wait, you mean firefox's virus scan actually works?

[Sidhe Priest]

Firefox doesn't have a virus scanner. It lies about "checking for viruses", in reality it's just renaming the file from filename.ext.part. The file must be clean, an antivirus could've gone crazy about a packer or somesuch.

Here on PD it was uploaded as XMPlay.zip.

[Matthew]

According to my quick googling, firefox is actually trying to get interface with your installed AV to have it check the file.

[Sidhe Priest]

Which is moot when there isn't any... Might as well not show the message.

[Matthew]

I don't know about you but I always run an antivirus, making it not moot... My point is it's doing more than just renaming the file.

[Sidhe Priest]

When there's no antivirus, it only renames the file.

[Sidhe Priest]

Are you sure the file is not infected with anything?

NOD32 says the file is clean. It's just XMPlay from Un4seen packed with Inno Setup. There's nothing there that could be infected.

When I downloaded it from the link you gave me Firefox deleted it after scanning for viruses.  Either it was mistaken for a virus, or maybe it got a virus from your system?

...or it was a Firefox or antivirus quirk, which is more likely.

Here it is: XMPlay 3.6 Player

[Sidhe Priest]

Anyway, XMPlay is a nice little player that works with Ogg files. Bucketloads of features and multiple format support in a 2-MB package. It's also packed with BASSMIDI plugin, so it should work "out of the box" for playing MIDI files (with a Soundfont bank, of course).
