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?

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

    • 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. You set up the entire thing through the eero app, and the entire process takes a few minutes. The system also receives automatic security updates in the background, so once you set it up, you don't have to worry about compatibility issues. 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.
