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:

 

XIUDRa6.png

 

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.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
