Not sure if you want bugs posted on here, but I happened upon a crash.  I was just going through the artists tab and when I selected an album with one song, it didn't display anything.  I clicked the album and it crashed.  Here is the log entry for that time:

 

2015-03-30 12:18:04.1884|Error|Dopamine.Application.ExecuteEmergencyStop|Unhandled Exception. Exception:

I reloaded the app and went back to that artist and everything worked from then on out.

 

 

Yes you can report bugs in this thread. Thanks, I'll into it.

First little grievance I noticed is that max,min etc options seem to be hidden, unless I select the track view. I like that its not visible by default, but I feel it should slide down if I mouse hover over the top, otherwise it requires (potentially) more mouse clicks to get back to full or minimised views.

 

These options shouldn't really be needed much, but I fiddle with the view a lot :p

 

I can see this being a personal preference so would be good to see if others find this OK or not?

I was curious how people would react to that :) I'm expecting more feedback. I could restore the behaviour from the previous version rather quickly if it's too annoying.

 

Btw, double click on the album art restores full view. Minimize is not directly available however.

 

What do you think about the list view? Does it display useful details? Btw, I don't show the track number on purpose, because it looks rather weird when more than 1 album is displayed in the mini player.

I've found a reason to need both max and min with it sat there today.

 

The display works for me, I don't have that big of a collection and its a lot of one off tracks rather than albums so track number would mean little to me.

 

In that case, I'll fix it for you :)

My obligitory comment on volume control in mini player :rofl:

 

At it stands now, you need to click the volume icon and then move the mouse into the slider area before the scroll wheel adjusts the volume. Any chance you could have the volume slider appear on mouse over of the volume icon (so I don't have to click it), and allow the scroll wheel to adjust the volume from both the slider area but also the volume icon area. This would reduce the movement/clicks needed to change the volume. Once you mouse over the volume icon, any scroll wheel adjustment adjusts the volume.

Damn you! No, just kidding of course :D

 

You are so right and I'll add it to the next build. Should the popup also close automatically when you stopped scrolling?

I see this is iTunes music. Could there be DRM on it?

I'm seeing the same error on MP3 and M4a files. I had installed the build earlier but didn't have any music in my library. Added that in (awesome improvement in speed on the indexer!) but now I'm trying to play files, no go. Error city.

 

Edit:

Ok, it seems exclusive mode is needed on the output. With it on, files play. With it off, error.

COuld you try disabling Wasapi event mode in the options and try playing again? That was added in this build. When you disable event and exclusive mode, it plays like the older versions. I curious if that is the issue.

I'd like one of those files for testing, as I can't reproduce it with my files. Would you mind sending one to me?

Event mode (I dunno what that is) has no impact. Exclusive mode off (event on or off) ... no playback. Exclusive mode On (event on or off) the files play.

 

I doubt it is a file issue. I tried about 20 different songs (mix of mp3 and m4a) and once exclusive mode is off they don't play. Might be an issue with the PC hardware? If you want a file, no worries. PM me an email address.

Same for me, exclusive mode on, files play, exclusive off, files don't. Thanks for the fix anyway! :)

It sure can be hardware related. Not all audio hardware works will all wasapi options. But still, you were able to play with the older builds without exclusive mode on, so I'm wondering if the audio lib guy didn't break anything :) Maybe your files might help.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
