Automatic subtitles for non german viewers are also available.

I hope that after all those obvious hanging notes in Deep Space, you realized that it's time to stop using Winamp's in_mod.dll that was last updated more than 20 years ago (even just updating to Winamp 5.8 would give you mod playback quality that is worlds apart, but better use an up-to-date in_openmpt.dll).

I can vouch for in_openmpt.dll, I have been using it with XMPlay for many years. Though, I just noticed that I'm on version 0.6.1.16763, so thanks Saga Musix for the reminder...

@Saga Musix: Thanks for the tip! In fact, I noticed the hanging notes during playback. In most other cases, there were no audible glitches when playing MOD, XM, or IT files. Nevertheless, you are always on the safe side with an optionally included MP3. Unfortunately, there weren't any in this case, so only the original IT file was available. We're still using an older version of Winamp because the current (unofficial) version has removed some features we need for our shows and to find certain titles. However, the XM player for the above file extensions and SID files is optionally available to us. It will then possibly be used next time. I'll see if swapping out the DLL file will bring any improvement.

Update: It looks like the plugin wasn't there at all. Instead, it was played all along with the "in_mod.dll" V2.90 plugin. I had to uninstall it completely to be able to use the "in_openmpt.dll" plugin. And in fact, there were no longer any sound hangers. It even sounded a lot better and more spatial. I will also test it with the other file extensions in the hope that it will also run stably there and that our Winamp 5.63 will not crash. :-)

$50 is $50

Oh nvm i'm retarded

No way to re-watch it on Twitch ?

Unfortunately, no! We generally do not use the recording function on Twitch due to the sharp content filter. Instead, there is the above-mentioned YouTube link and the possibility to skip individual compos or parts of the livestream via the timeline in the video description. Furthermore, the videos stay online forever and not just for 2 weeks and there is at least a rough translation function via subtitles. :-)
