Dopamine

[GSDragoon]

Think I founds a bug. Did a quick search on this thread and didn't see it mentioned. If I click twice quickly (being registered as a double click, I assume) on a scroll bar it seems to register the double click event. For example, if you double click on the scroll bar for the far right panel, it will start playing the selected song from the beginning again. I assume has to do with WPF's routed events stuff that is always confusing.

Thanks for this app. It's awesome!! zune 5.0!!

I have almost 3,000 albums in my collection, Can it manage such a big collection?

 

Also It would be great if we could add our own artist images so they show up on the now playing screen. Something as flexible like how Plex does it. Artist images in each folder with a name like "poster_1,poster_2,poster_3" and fade randomly into each other with text.

And different styles of Spectrum analyzer we could choose from. 

 

Donation on it's way.

 

Thanks for all your hard work.

 

I've had a user having problems with a very big collection because at this point the indexer is rather slow. I plan to improve it.

I'll write down your other ideas as feature requests.

Confirmed! I've logged a bug. It's indeed WPF stuff. The double click is not checking if there is a listbox item under the cursor.

Did you looked into this - https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1246136-dopamine/page-18#entry596759596

 

Quickly. I've added these links to the bug "Indexer is too slow" back then I'll look into it in detail when rewriting the indexer.

Same village really? Where are you from? (PM me)

Well, I mentioned this on frontpage but:

1: Why is this only a music player?

2: Besides you only speaking these languages, why not get translations going?

I think 2 is more important as it gets a lot more internationally known...

[wetworker]

Sweet. Thanks for the info. Right now I just made a secondary directory with a bunch of albums to test.

Btw. Will it be able to sync content to windows phone in the future? That would be great.

1. Short answer: because I needed only a music player . Long answer: I needed a music player, because all those that are already around do a great job, but they don't suit my needs. My music player needs to:

 

a. play music (of course )

b. provide just enough features to organize and listen to my music

c. keep things simple and not provide any more bloat than is required to achieve "b"

d. look good (without needing hacks)

 

I have no need to create a video player. My needs for a video player are: double click video file and play (and support subtitles). There are plenty around that suit these needs.

 

2. I'll see later on. I'm still in a very early phase of development and I honestly don't know yet where I'm headed with this.

I'd love this too. In my dreams there is even a Dopamine Windows Phone player, as I don't like the xbox music one. But as I'm doing this in my spare time, there are a lot of time constraints (I'm already streching my free time sometimes. I have to restrain of pushing myself too far sometimes).

Then why don't you download the X(A)ML file and start translating it to other languages:

Well he probably didn't know about it. Also, that xaml is not up to date anymore. I am to blame . It's one annoyance with a project which still changes a lot.

Raphael, can you create a feature, not necessarily now but, if your system can't find an album cover that we can right click on the album in the album section and add "an album cover" for any albums?

 

just for future reference? I have an album without a cover as you can see..

Yeah, that would be cool and quite convenient.

Approved! I'll add that when I'm adding tagging support. The plan is the following (in this order, but no ETA yet though, just coding whenever I can):

 

- Finish Songs screen (in progress)

- Add playlists support (not started)

- Add rating support (not started)

- Add tagging support

 

And somewhere in between I plan a rewrite of the indexer

Hi. I'm loving this as a long time user of the Zune player. I would really like to see my list of Genres in the left column and then be able to sort the centre column by A-Z, Artist, Year or Date Added, as this is how I use Zune mostly.

 

Keep up the great work!

Hi all,

 

While building the Songs screen (damn simple screen which is giving me a lot of technical headaches ) I'm already thinking about giving the mini player some love. What do you think of something like this? (this is a mockup)

 

 

The "List" button on the left would show the list of queued songs. The volume button would pop up a menu with a slider. When the mouse is hovering the button it would be possible to change the volume while scrolling.

Songs by album is the rightmost pane is showing all albums as "Unknown Album Artist", yet the songs are named fine.

The tag AlbumArtist is also filled in?

I don't know, I get my MP3s, etc. through other means, I don't own any CDs.

I'm guessing that is the issue. Once I get tagging support in there, it will be easy to verify and fix.

Raphel have you thought about a way to backup playlists? Because of work, I change computers about every 2 months and right now the only option I have to keep my playlists is cloud based.

Do you mean saving to m3u or backing up the files too?

Great ideas
