Dopamine

[+Raphaël G. MVC]

Now I've done it. This is what's coming for the next build (needs a day of testing though):

9-09-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.364 (Preview)

- Fixed a bug where the Mini Player "Always on top" state got lost when double clicking the notification
- Improved indexing speed
- Fixed more Mini Player playlist issues
- Fixed the nasty flicker when switching player modes

Figured the issue out, Raphael.

Norton 360 Freaks out. Something about too few users, and quarantines the exe's.

Unbelievable... Maybe I should call it winword.exe

Haha. It'd still get flagged. Even if I run it as Admin, it's still flagged  I can still use it, but I just have to re-extract it, and run it. If it gets flagged again, I use another one.

There is no option to whitelist it? Or you don't have the rights to do so probably.

Call it winworde.exe. It will not look like a virus at all this way.

Yup. No rights to whitelist it. Some times I can get it to work, other times I can't

What would be tight is if you made a Dopamine Media Controller, so people could use their phones as remotes. My mom's been begging me to find her something like this, lol.

I think Norton would get confused.

Symantec is AWFUL... uninstall that crap...

Oh Dear, a media controller: I don't even know where to start

I spent the evening signing all dll's I'm using in Dopamine. It's a good thing, as Windows will at least consider it as safer. I'm quietly hoping it will also shut up all these anti viruses, but I honestly have no idea.

It's like a nightmare version of windows smartscreen lol

It's not my choice. It's on my work laptop. If it was up to me, I'd use ESET.

I can start looking into what would be needed. I know that Logitech's Keyboard (Orion Spark) has an ability like this. However, it'd need to be a bit more in-depth. Having the ability to choose which audio card to use, is something I'd love to see. Right now, I have speakers for my living room, bathroom, garage, and backyard. I have to manually plug cables in, however, I wanted to buy cheap 5.1 Cards, toss them in, and plug them all in. Then write a program that'd allow me to change where the media is going, and only use 1 source. I hate using headphones, my hearing is starting to dwindle, and so I'm avoiding headphones right now.

You can select which Audio card is the source already in Windows, just set which card you want the sound to come from to default and there ya go...

I don't know if this has been requested yet, but when sorting I noticed that things that begin with "The" are filed under "T" for "The," where the "the should be omitted for the sort (e.g. "The Cranberries" should be filed under "C").

yup that's been asked an approved It should be simple to do, I'll try to get that in for the next build.

Hey Raphael, not sure if this is possible but it sure would be cool.  This is a snapshot I took from Linux, would it be possible to make something like this happen from the taskbar? or even the system tray?

If you could pull this off from the system tray I will donate... lol

That's quite true, however I'd rather not have to go back inside, and do that change. I use Foobar2000 a lot on my Desktop at home vs Dopamine because I can choose which audio device sends music too. To put it simple.

I have Foobar2000 run through speakers, teamspeak3 / vent run through headphones, etc. Being able to set which device it uses, is incredibly handy when you have multiple sources.

I'm planning choice of audio device sometime later.

It doesn't work that way, I don't accept bribes

BUT, I like this idea. I haven't seen it done in Windows yet, so that would make it kind of unique. It would have to happen from the tray because the start menu doesn't give us much options. And on Windows 10 I could add some blur. Conclusion: feature request accepted!

Thank you sir!!! I will still donate...expect something from me soon, I get paid in a few days =)  I use Dopamine every day, so I am thinking I should contribute.  Out of all the music players I have tried Dopamine just sounds AMAZING and that is what really counts.  Such pure true sound out my speakers, I love it!

Thanks Rafael

That'd be nice of you. Thanks

You're welcome!

To start, I would like to thank you for this beautiful piece of software. I use it in portable version at the moment, but i'm thinking about installing it via the *.msi.

I have a few suggestions and requests to share:

- In the "artists" panel, add the possibility to choose between "artist" and "album artist" in the first column and ascending or descending sorting in the columns
- Support of extended dates (YYYY MM DD) in tags
- Support of "custom tags" as i use "label", "catalog #", ... tags
- Have a better quality covers in panels, especially in artists and albums panels, they look a little blurry on my Surface Pro 3 and my Samsung SyncMaster S27A850T
- In the "listening now" panel, show the previous track played and next track to be played

Oh! and if you need help for French translation which is very very good, you can contact me to have a look

Hi! Thanks a lot for your feedback!

Most of the features your asking for are planned, eventually (I'm working as fast I humanly possible :))

What do you mean with extended dates? Is there a tag which is reserved for that? (I'm developing a music player, but I don't know much about the available tags so feel free to enlighten me :))

Concerning the blurry images: are you using a scaling larger than 100% in Windows? If yes, which scaling? I only did tests with 100 and 125%, so I might have missed this issue.

Feel free to improve/correct the French translation if needed. My french was never 100% and is getting a bit rusty I'd be glad to include it in next releases.
