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:

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 don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
    • The biggest issue in this version of Win 11 context menu, from usability standpoint, is the movable row with basic commands. Think of a car analogy...if You turn the week left the infotainment screen will move right and vice versa. With how it works now Microsoft made something forbidden in designing in any UI, software or hardware. I can't grasp who were the morons within Microsoft suggesting it was a good idea and gave it a green light.
    • LibreOffice 26.2.4 by Razvan Serea LibreOffice is the free power-packed Open Source personal productivity suite for Windows, Macintosh and Linux, that gives you six feature-rich applications for all your document production and data processing needs: Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Math and Base. Support and documentation is free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers. You, too, can also get involved! Choosing Between LibreOffice Still and LibreOffice Fresh: LibreOffice Still is a good choice if you value stability, a longer support cycle, and a more conservative approach to software updates. It's suitable for businesses and organizations where reliability and compatibility are crucial. LibreOffice Fresh is ideal if you're an enthusiast or an early adopter who wants to stay on the cutting edge of LibreOffice development and is willing to accept more frequent updates and occasional minor issues. Features: Writer is the word processor inside LibreOffice. Use it for everything, from dashing off a quick letter to producing an entire book with tables of contents, embedded illustrations, bibliographies and diagrams. The while-you-type auto-completion, auto-formatting and automatic spelling checking make difficult tasks easy (but are easy to disable if you prefer). Writer is powerful enough to tackle desktop publishing tasks such as creating multi-column newsletters and brochures. The only limit is your imagination. Calc tames your numbers and helps with difficult decisions when you're weighing the alternatives. Analyze your data with Calc and then use it to present your final output. Charts and analysis tools help bring transparency to your conclusions. A fully-integrated help system makes easier work of entering complex formulas. Add data from external databases such as SQL or Oracle, then sort and filter them to produce statistical analyses. Use the graphing functions to display large number of 2D and 3D graphics from 13 categories, including line, area, bar, pie, X-Y, and net - with the dozens of variations available, you're sure to find one that suits your project. Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different. Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be. Base is the database front-end of the LibreOffice suite. With Base, you can seamlessly integrate into your existing database structures. Based on imported and linked tables and queries from MySQL, PostgreSQL or Microsoft Access and many other data sources, you can build powerful databases containing forms, reports, views and queries. Full integration is possible with the in-built HSQL database. Math is a simple equation editor that lets you lay-out and display your mathematical, chemical, electrical or scientific equations quickly in standard written notation. Even the most-complex calculations can be understandable when displayed correctly. E=mc2. LibreOffice also comes configured with a PDF file creator, meaning you can distribute documents that you're sure can be opened and read by users of almost any computing device or operating system.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off by Ivan Jenic The Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system is currently $239.99 on Amazon for the 2-pack, down from $329.99. That's 27% off and $90 saved for a solid Wi-Fi solution that covers your entire home (purchase link down below). The 2-pack covers up to 4,000 square feet (372 square meters) and supports 100+ connected devices, which handles the vast majority of home setups without breaking a sweat. Wi-Fi 6E brings access to the 6 GHz band for lower latency across the network, and the 2.5 Gb Ethernet port supports gigabit+ internet plans if your ISP offers them. eero's TrueMesh technology handles traffic routing automatically, so you're not manually managing which devices connect to which node.

If you're covering a larger home or want more nodes, the 3-pack is $329.99 and the 4-pack is $479.98, both at similar discount levels. It's worth mentioning that a newer model exists, which is likely the reason for the discount, but the Pro 6E is still perfectly capable hardware for most homes.
