I have these on my TODO. Don't know in what order I'll process them :)

 

- Sort albums by year
- Adjustable transparency
- Export of ratings
- Resizable columns
- Improve queuing
- Improving now playing screen
- better positioning of tray controls

How are you adjusting transparency?

Now Playing looks a little... dull.

 

What you you think of doing this?...

Also, the VU meter is really stuttering at the moment.

That's nice. I'll try it out (depends a bit on performance after doing this).

Since when is the spectrum stuttering? Also after restarting Dopamine?

I've missed a few builds, so not sure when the stuttering started. It doesn't look 100% responsive to begin with, even after restarting the whole pc, but when I switch to Now Playing, it really starts to chug.

 

Glad you like the background image idea. I wonder if having it slowly zooming in would be possible/a good idea, maybe even a photo slide show type thing, if you happen to have other album artwork in the folder where the current track is located.

You could try changing the latency back to 100 ms in the options. I increased it to 150 ms by default because I had some complaints about sound clipping. The higher the latency, the slower the spectrum responds.

Didn't even know that was a thing. I'll check it out. Thanks. :)

 

Edit: It was already on 100 ms. Problem persists on everything from 50 to 500 ms

Well I have a crappy computer, and it works here too. What I find strange is that is lags only on the now playing screen...

My puter is also kinda super :D

 

I thought it might have been another app (Adguard) interfering, as the service for it kept using 30% CPU, but I have sorted that now, and the problem is still there.

 

Edit: Just uninstalled and reinstalled Dopamine, but still no joy. My Library didn't need rebuilding, so I take it there is a way to uninstall it even more completely. What folders should I delete, if any?

I just tried mine again, resizing the now playing window and all is working fine, I even put on some drum only stuff and its updating instantly...

 

Dopamine also uses your appdata folder...  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine  make sure this is gone if you uninstall .. this is where I believe the database is kept.

 

Try uninstalling, removing the above folder, reinstall the latest version and see what happens... I hope it fixes it for you...

Hmm, no idea what's causing this. I've never seen it happen before. I'll keep an eye on it.

Is it on Windows 10? If yes, which version?

This app is getting so good. I have't touch ZMKP since I install it. Each update is awesome.

I hope you can find a way to port it to phone and Tablet. Crape even XB1

That's completely right. To uninstall completely, uninstall it from add/remove programs, and delete the folder mentioned above.

Bit better :)

 

I still want to find how how to stop Windows from highlighting the currently active app in the taskbar.

Not the end of the world though.

Ah that's not something I can help you with :D

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      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.
