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.

Thanks for reporting. How large is the file?

[TheKB]

[+Raphaël G. MVC]

533 MB (533,364,571 bytes) / 6:10:23 length

It plays in VLC.

 

Excellent. I know why it happens and will be fixed in the next build.

Thanks!

 

You want it tonight? It can be done.

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 . 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.

Thanks so much! I'll see if it works now.

 

No problem Let me know how it goes.

[kachimasu]

Any release date for the final version?

Any release date for the final version?

 

When it's done?

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. 

[Darrian]

[TAZMINATOR]

Nope, there aren't.

 

Tsk tsk tsk

Actually I am considering going Android on my next phone.  I'm really not caring for WP10, but I'll wait and see when it has gone RTM before I make any decision.

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 .

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.
