Add NULL-safe global access macros, Unicode support, and i18n improvements Introduce CP_SafeGlobals.h with safe wrapper macros for accessing global handles (m_hPlayer, m_hPlaylist) that may be NULL during startup/shutdown. This prevents potential crashes from dereferencing uninitialized handles. Safe macros applied to: - CPI_Verbs.c: Player control verbs (play, stop, pause, seek, volume) - CPI_Keyboard.c: Keyboard shortcut handlers […]

The tooltip was incorrectly calling DeleteObject() on this handle in Hide(), UpdateContent(), and Cleanup(), which invalidated the cached bitmap. Subsequent requests for the same image returned the stale (deleted) handle from cache, causing the […]
