I have build 193 installed and I never got a notification that build 194 was released. I had to download the build manually.  Should I have gotten some sort of notification on startup to download the new build?  All 3 of the "Updates" options are set to Yes on the Startup tab.

 

The contents of my log from today when I started up the application is below.  I don't see any errors.

The only thing that changes when there is an update available is the icon here:

It becomes a download arrow. It is pretty subtle and I might have to improve that.

When you hover the arrow with the mouse you get info about the download. When you click the icon, it installs the package.

Dopamine seems to have issues playing an extremely long mp3 file.

Using Dopamine build 194 on Windows 8.1

 

Thanks for reporting. How large is the file?

That would be lovely. By the way, what was the problem? (Just interested)

Thanks

 

Build 195 has been published. It fixes just this issue. Go get it tiger! :)

 

It's actually quite a long story. While developing musiX (my previous audio player) I discovered that it isn't possible to save tags for a file which is playing. Saving tags causes a "File is already in use by another process" error. Of course it is in use, because it is playing. Anyway that is how the audio library, which I use, behaves. So for Dopamine I built a workaround myself (well with some help from the audio lib guy): preloading the file in memory before playback. Preloading in memory worked fine until now, until you threw a large file at it and causes an OutOfMemoryException :rofl:. Don't worry, that's a good thing. At least I now know that wasn't the way to go. So in build 195 I removed that workaround and I just play files by the book now. When adding tagging support, I'll have to come up with a plan B. But these are worries for later.

Good day kind sir. I quite enjoy using Dopamine to listen to my adequate tunes on my Windows 8.1 machine. But I seem to have stumbled upon a problem. When I play a collection of my tunes it seems that the program only plays one song but fails to advance to the next one. pls halp :(.

Apologies for my poor colloquial.

Hi. I'm afraid I'll need more details. Maybe the logfile can help. Could you send it to me?

Hi Raphael, just wanna ask if this music player of yours can play Movies. And have you made a Dopamine for Windows Phone version? Sorry, no time to check the threads. Already 47 pages XD Goodluck on your project. Cheers :beer: .

No it doesn't play movies. A Windows Phone version is not available yet but planned eventually when the desktop version is more feature rich. Two days ago however I was playing around a bit and put a Dopamine app on my phone, which does nothing yet.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By matthiew · Posted

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
