Uh, can't believe I never noticed before but, is it not possible to sort albums by year? I only see a-z and by date added.

 

Not yet. The question that has been holding this feature off is:

What defines an album's year? Knowing that the year is saved per track. Should I take the year from the track with the most recent year? For regular albums this won't be a problem, because all tracks have the same year. But what for compilations?

Check if it's a real album by querying some online source, and if you can't find it, default to the directory creation date. Or something like that. Unless you already have album metadata of course, in which case you can check that. I suppose it depends on how the compilation is created. If it's done through your program, then you're already in a position to assign it custom metadata.

The way Winamp does it is that if there's different years in the album tracks, it takes the oldest for the ordering and appends the other year(s) after the oldest one in the album view. I think this is a good compromise.

typically I would think that a compilation album would be tagged with the year the compilation was published

Thank you! I never tested on 5.1, but if if doesn't work, it's probably not implemented. I'll add to my task list to check this out.

Edit: quoting is broken sometimes.

I had success with the playlist by inserting c:\ and changing the name in Users. I have no idea why it picked up my name instead of the name Windows gave User (aleks_000).

I would suggest, maybe, something that checks the file path when importing a playlist and gives an error on a track is not found.

Also, I may be missing it, but is there an option to hide the taskbar element while having the player running in nano/micro/cover?

It's correcting the user that most likely fixed it. As I've added support for rooted paths (starting with "\") in the previous build. I'll log a bug that a prompt should be shown when a path is not found. Thanks for the suggestion.

There is no option to hide the taskbar in Mini mode.

Been having crash problems, I've no clue how the log is arranged, so this is everything from today (last hour)

Also, a general suggestion... when in Micro mode, the ability to change the mp3 tags would be handy, since so many mp3s have errors in the tagging.

Some more crash logs from just now

I didn't click anything, it was playing a playlist in the micro mode and crashed in the middle of a track.

OK thanks for the info. Then it's the audio lib that brought it down. I'll see if I can prevent this in the future.

Edit: for tagging in the Mini players: that is coming soon. After the Windows 10 makeover I start working on rating and tagging.

Amendment to that; it works when it loses focus on a normal window, but on a game/media window the generic buttons stops working.

What else do you have open while listening to Dopamine? These other media and game things I'm interested in.

It seems to stop working on SWToR and Rocket League, I'll test other stuff later, but it seems something with a conflict with game media, which is weird, since I was running it all day yesterday without errors.

I just found out I did something silly in my playback service. It might be caused by that. I'll work on that for the next build.

Funny bug this is. If 2 things happen in the same 0.25th of a second, dopamine crashes :) That makes it kind of random.

Is gap-less playback supposed to be working at this point?

Also just noticed that selecting 16 files or more, does not give you the option to Open, in the right click menu. 15 or less is fine.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
