Dopamine

[accuratecopy]

 

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.

I'm happy to see that most of these features are planned on your side! I think you progress very fast on the developpement.
Extended dates are probably stored in the same "date" tag (have to make some research about that) with "YYYY MM DD" format instead of "YYYY", more precised date.
About the blurry covers, my Samsung SyncMaster S27A850T is configured with a screen resolution of 2560*1440 and 125% DPI and my Surface Pro 3 has a screen resolution of 2160*1440 and 150% DPI. I'm using Windows 10 Pro 64.
Ok, i will check the French translation, but it seems like it's very well translated.

I think he means how some music services like itunes are starting to tag the release year with the complete release date (month and day).  Personally I find this irksome as hell and edit the tags to just the year.  I would ask him for a file tagged like that so you can see exactly what he's talking about.

When i rip a CD of my collection, i put the complete release date in the "date" tag but Dopamine only reads the "YYYY" format.

Could you send me 1 of those files?

Could you send me 1 of those files?

I have an example of a file tagged this way, I pm'd you a link to it

and here's a screenshot showing how the date tag is read in foobar2000 vs in dopamine

Thanks! PM and file received. I can see that tag in foobar. I just spent a few hours trying to figure out how to read it, but it seems like a mysterious, badly documented tag. I wasn't able to find out how to get its value using taglib. So I've created a task and delayed adding this tag for later. I feel too frustrated right now

Yep, ID3 tags can be a huge pain for sure

Hi Raphael.

Can you make the height of playlist in micro & nano player resizeable? It would be nice if we get this option.

Yeah, agreed!
Thank you for the file ViperAFK.

Hi all,

I added a Genres screen (build still in testing):

I added a Genres screen (build still in testing):

 

That would be extremely useful if "genre" were ever correctly listed on mp3s. Sigh, those tags are such a headache.

Still has issues with not accepting commands from media keyboards (even once setting it on a per-program basis)

It is great seeing Dopamine grow, look forward to new features.

Correct about genres usually not being useful. It's the reason I originally wasn't planning to add such a screen. It was asked however, and I thought: why not, it is almost a copy of the Artists screen, but then for Genres

For the keyboard commands: correct, I haven't changed anything yet, as I haven't been able to reproduce it. But I must say I have tried it only while playing half life 2 fullscreen. So I don't know yet what is interfering with the keyboard commands.

What do you mean setting on per program basis? Is that some kind of configuration in software delivered with your keyboard? Dopamine listens to standard windows keypresses basically any key and then only acts on the keycodes linked to media keys. Maybe we can try this:

Download KeyboardTest5.exe here (this is a link to the directory on dropbox where the exe resides, it doesn't directly download the exe). This exe is from me, so it is safe (the source code is also in that directory). Launch the exe before starting a game, start pressing media keys, and check what the ouput of the program is. When done, select everything which is displayed in the output window, and send it to me.

Next features will be rating and tagging, but I first want to display album artists in the list of artist. It would be silly to delay that until after tagging was added, because I would then have to change the tagging mechanism again.

just an FYI - feedback

The self-updater... work like a charm!!!

Also you are doing some awesome work. keep it up.!

PS - thanks for fixing that bug that caused the player to stop.... when it couldn't figure out the correct end of song.

I know you fixed it ages ago but Just wanted to say that MADE my LIFE SO much EASIER... best fix so far.

Thank you. And, you're welcome:) The stopping of the player was caused by myself (some age old code which I never looked at again :))

Thanks for letting me know. Does it happen all the time, or once?

Hi Raphael.

Can you make the height of playlist in micro & nano player resizeable? It would be nice if we get this option.

Feature request has been created.

Hi all,

I added a Genres screen (build still in testing):

 

That is perfect - Thank you! 

And yes, I do have all of my music genres nicely tagged as it makes selecting the style I want to play so much simpler.

[accuratecopy]

The "genres" screen is a nice addition!

For the blurry covers in 125% and 150% DPI, i think it's a problem due to how Dopamine displays the pictures as the covers in "cache" folder seem to be in very good quality.

Yep you are right. That's fixed for the next build. Technical explanation: dopamine scaled the pictures from the cache folder down to the sizes (100px for artist, 150px for albums) required on the artists and albums screens. But when using a "dpi" higher than 100, this scaled down size is upscaled to 100*1.25 and 150*1.50 by WPF itself, which causes the blurryness. I found a way to work around that.

So far only once.

What do you mean setting on per program basis? Is that some kind of configuration in software delivered with your keyboard? Dopamine listens to standard windows keypresses basically any key and then only acts on the keycodes linked to media keys. Maybe we can try this:

Download KeyboardTest5.exe here (this is a link to the directory on dropbox where the exe resides, it doesn't directly download the exe). This exe is from me, so it is safe (the source code is also in that directory). Launch the exe before starting a game, start pressing media keys, and check what the ouput of the program is. When done, select everything which is displayed in the output window, and send it to me.

 

I am using the native MS Mouse and Keyboard Center with a Digital Media Pro keyboard

KeyboardTest showed

nCode='0', wParam='&H100', vkCode='176'
nCode='0', wParam='&H101', vkCode='176'

 

on pressing "next"

Yep you are right. That's fixed for the next build. Technical explanation: dopamine scaled the pictures from the cache folder down to the sizes (100px for artist, 150px for albums) required on the artists and albums screens. But when using a "dpi" higher than 100, this scaled down size is upscaled to 100*1.25 and 150*1.50 by WPF itself, which causes the blurryness. I found a way to work around that.

Nice, waiting for the next preview!
I expected that the problem was something like that, thank you for the explanation.

Something else, as i use really often use Dopamine lately, someone already ask about to have, in the "cover play mode" ("lecteur pochette" in french), an option to show the playlist under the visualisation instead of "on the cover", like in the "micro play mode"? I think it would be a nice option.

Well, I think having both options in cover player will cause some kind of inconsistency, isn't it?
