Happy to play with this new version! Nice changelog :)
I like the new 1px border but i would like to know if it's possible to show the border only when the window is active, or maybe add an option to do that.

Oh and it seems like Dopamine is starting faster, i don't have the cursor on the splash screen anymore... (On Surface Pro 3 Core i7)

For the 1px border: don't know yet. It won't change soon though.
Dopamine indeed starts up a bit faster. I removed the progress thingy on purpose.

Excellent work! Working on Windows 10 Build 10547 :D

Thanks!

Beautiful!  Keep the border option the way it is please...not a fade when window is active or make it an option...

Bravo Raphael, the new changes are amazing...  Thank you!

 

It's real HOT! Thanks Raphael :rolleyes:

Your welcome

Hi Raphael,

First of all I want to congratulate you for this amazing app! I used it all days since you "throwed" in the wild :) It's a masterpiece. But one small idea ...Do you think to make a windows phone version too? :)) Especially for WP 10, it can be a success because for windows phone there are not good apps right now. Thanks again for all your efforts and fresh builds ;)

I really would love to! :) I started some time ago, but the store app doesn't do anything else than showing a splash screen and saying "hello". The only problem I have is free time or rather, no free time :( I'm trying to get the basic things working in the Dopamine desktop application asap so I can focus more on the store app development while maintaining the desktop application.

Hey Raphael, I found another bug. After opening a song through the file explorer (with dopamine already opened), I can't play another song in the current view of dopamine by clicking on the title. I really can't until I change the view by clicking on an album, artist, or another tab.

What is planned for the next preview builds?

  • Adding Album artists to the Artists screen
  • Rating and tagging (which I kept pushing further in the future :))

You're right, I didn't think of that.

Edit: fixed for the next build. Thanks!

Want more bug? :rofl:  The "Always on top" status of micro & nano player is lost if I open the playlist. Cover player works fine. :shifty:

 

Working on it. Believe it or not, this bug has cost me 3 evenings of thinking, trying and swearing :). And it is not fully fixed yet. But I'll figure something out. Thanks for reporting though, keep them coming.

Great work Raphael! :)

Thanks!

Ok ok guilty! :) But these features makes it so awesome!

You're damn right about that! I'm enjoying the tray controls myself :)

Hey, Raphaël!
I think I may have found a bug.

Today, I had to reinstall Windows 10, and after having installed Dopamine 1.0.0 (Build 391) Preview, I get the following error every time I try to start it:

3ge5J6j.png

When I click on "Show details", I get this:
"SQL logic error or missing database
no such table: Configurations"

I guess that if I install a previous version and then update it, I should be able to make it run. I'll let you know as soon as I try.

Cheers!

EDIT: Alright. I've uninstalled build 391 and after having installed build 372, I've been able to run it successfully. Then, I've updated it to build 391 through Dopamine and it works as expected. Therefore, this bug only occurs with a clean install of Dopamine build 391.

Thanks for notifying me. Very strange. It points indeed in a DB creation issue. However a clean install of build 391 works fine here. I'll keep an eye on it and test it a bit more.

Edit: you seem to be the first who got the black screen of death :) (at least the first who tells me)

I have bad news for some. After about 5 evenings of struggling with Micro and Nano player playlist, displaying and shadow overlap ugliness, I decided to go back to a single window for Micro/Nano player and playlist. The side effect is that the playlist will again only open at the bottom :(

The build you're using now uses a sandwich of a shadow, then the main player, then the playlist window to add a shadow to the playlist but also to make sure the shadow doesn't overlap the mini player window. This is such an ugly solution, and fails to render correctly in some situations. And it also kills the always on top of the Micro/Nano players. So I had to ditch it, until and if something better comes along.

Not a problem for me as i use cover player, i dream of a cover player with a playlist under, like the micro player :D.


I have a little request, nothing to do with micro/nano players, but with artists:
Example: I have some songs from "The Black Queen", when i search it in the "artists" list, "The Black Queen" is situated at the end of "b" category. Is it possible to have it stored at the "bl" place (alphabetically)?

Keep up the good work :)

Raphael,

I upgraded from Dopamine 372 to 391 on a Windows 10 Pro 10547 system. After upgrade the (alphabetical) Artists column/list is blank; however, the column headers show that there are 224 artists, 211 albums, and 2512 songs. The artists list displayed properly in build 372. The log, with both 372 and 391 startup, is below:

I've found that the SQL error noted above is also caused if one renames Dopamine.db and attempts to reinitiate the database via a currently installed Dopamine build. The only solution is to delete the Roaming\Dopamine folders/directories, uninstall Dopamine, restart Windows, and reinstall Dopamine.

If you need additional information, please let me know. Thank you for creating a great audio player!

I've found that the SQL error noted above is also caused if one renames Dopamine.db and attempts to reinitiate the database via a currently installed Dopamine build. The only solution is to delete the Roaming\Dopamine folders/directories, uninstall Dopamine, restart Windows, and reinstall Dopamine.

If you need additional information, please let me know. Thank you for creating a great audio player!

Could you send me your Dopamine.db? It might be caused by some funky artist name, but I want to make sure and I want to be able to catch that :)

Edit: you're right about the sql error. Thanks for the tip!

Edit 2: sql error fixed. It was caused by the faster startup. Starup will still be faster, but without error in the next build :)

Not a problem for me as i use cover player, i dream of a cover player with a playlist under, like the micro player :D.


I have a little request, nothing to do with micro/nano players, but with artists:
Example: I have some songs from "The Black Queen", when i search it in the "artists" list, "The Black Queen" is situated at the end of "b" category. Is it possible to have it stored at the "bl" place (alphabetically)?

Keep up the good work :)

Hmm indeed. I'll look into it.

The next build will be a pure bugfix build. This is the changelog. The build is still in testing:

28-09-2015: Dopamine 1.0.0.401 (Preview)

- Fixed several coloring issues with the Nano Player window controls
- Fixed the color of the tray controls when using the light theme on Windows 7 and 8
- Fixed a bug where it was not possible to start a song by double clicking in the active list if the previous song was started from explorer
- Fixed a bug where always on top of the Micro and Nano player got lost when the playlist is open
- Fixed a possible database creation error on clean installs
- Fixed a problem when ordering artists starting with "The"
- Regression: due to issues with how the Micro and Nano player playlist was rendered, I had to go back to using
  a single window. That has as consequence that the playlist can only be shown downwards. Sorry about that people.

Raphael,

I upgraded from Dopamine 372 to 391 on a Windows 10 Pro 10547 system. After upgrade the (alphabetical) Artists column/list is blank; however, the column headers show that there are 224 artists, 211 albums, and 2512 songs. The artists list displayed properly in build 372. The log, with both 372 and 391 startup, is below:

<snip>

I've found that the SQL error noted above is also caused if one renames Dopamine.db and attempts to reinitiate the database via a currently installed Dopamine build. The only solution is to delete the Roaming\Dopamine folders/directories, uninstall Dopamine, restart Windows, and reinstall Dopamine.

If you need additional information, please let me know. Thank you for creating a great audio player!
 

 

I found the issue and fixed it. Next build (probably tomorrow) will solve that issue.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
