Alright! The new language system is operational and soon to be released. That means that in the next build you'll always have the most up to date language file inside c:\Program Files (x86)\Dopamine\Languages and will be able to create custom languages by adding custom language files under C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine\Languages.

The only issue with this on the mini player, with this enabled the currently playing song is on the bottom of the list. So you need to scroll to see what's next up.

 

yep. Known issue which has been annoying me since the musiX days. Basically the ScrollIntoView function of the WPF ListBox is lazy. It scrolls down or up until it finds the item you request, but does nothing more. As with a lot of things, I'll have to create my own workaround.

Hey guys,

 

I have a good idea: what about an auto update function?! :woot: J/K, I read your posts of course, and you have a valid point. I'll try to get this up and running asap.

Tonight was productive

I create an automatic packager which automates creating the installers (including a portable package). I did this manually until now, and it cost me some time.

Soon it'll upload the packages automatically to their download location too.

Congratulations... Excellent app... Any intention to developing the application on ModernUI version? For a player music would be interesting to let playing with the locked screen. Desktop apps are all suspended.

 

I'd like to create a Universal App. But at the moment I have my hands full with this one. When the desktop version is more feature rich, I might work on 2 versions in parallel.

The Dopamine packager. You'll never see it. But it is the final step to a portable version and the first step to automatic updates.

I just noticed. You registered to say this? Much appreciated :):blush:

One thing I forgot to mention, but it was from an earlier build and may not be applicable now, but how clean in the uninstaller? I remember I ran this some time back (I know, the horrors!), but it didn't remove the files in the Users/Appdata/Dopamine folder.

That's correct. The uninstaller uninstalls everything that it installed :rofl:, meaning: the folder in program files, registrey keys, start menu shortcuts. The files in appdata are created by dopamine after it is started. These are not removed after uninstall.

 

So to uninstall dopamine:

 

- run the uninstaller

- delete the Dopamine folder in appdata

- have a beer

Raphael I have a feature that's different.

 

Song stream share. might require users to share an account of some sort.

 

say your Raphael001 I'm Chrisj1968. you can add users to a list in dopamine and you can stream my albums if you see an album you like from my system and I can stream listen in to a album you have that I like. Of course not copying the actual songs just listening to them, in a sort of radio station fashion. 

 

Windows media center can do it to where I can stream my collection to my work (if I were working). so it is legal. as long as the songs aren't being transferred from your to my PC

 

here's a simple mockup (please forgive the font) look to the right of now playing. my idea was, somehow we create a simple account if you can create some sort of server of users. now with some ISP's, our IP addresses like mine change so,

if  ilog in daily to that account, allow it to refresh with my new or current IP and we users through neowin can share via messaging or somehow our account name and another user can click stream which will then ask the user if they would like to stream their collection. click yes/no. if yes, then my collection will be playable from user X on their dopamine and can search through my collection to play what they like. this way no songs are transferred which doesn't breach MPAA rules because I can stream my music with WMP from MSFT already. just a thought. perhaps a large untertaking but put it on your list of a larger task to complete in the future in time? or if we all login to your system or "a" central system, click on stream, the screen under stream lists users already logged in and we can select user(s) and request permission to stream their music. just an idea. I realize a massive undertaking but is it workable?

mock up of the request (sorry not perfect but in concept)

Maybe legal when you're streaming your own media to yourself, but I highly doubt it when you're letting everyone else listen. If it were wouldn't there already be a load of others already out there that let you listen to random people's music as you please? When you're streaming the songs are still being transferred from one device to the other. It wouldn't be hard to simply save whatever is coming through.

Unfortunately I think you are correct - to legally stream music you need a license, even retail stores need a license to play music to its customers whilst in store and I think this would include this.

 

The only thing I'm not 100% on is, most streaming licenses talk about profit to help decide what kind of license you need whereas this would be seen as non profit.

with WMP, whose to say that people don't share their IP's with co workers already? businesses like Microsoft had to thought up what you both have in that regard. nothing stopping people from sharing your IP address to stream from your home system.. just saying

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
