Hey there!

 

I got an error with build 547 when i tried to play my first song with this release. When i tried again, it worked (FYI my files are on a NAS and i use last Insider Preview of Windows 10). Here is the log, if it can help :).

However, i love the new version!

Thanks for this log. I kind of expected this, as I made some serious changes in how files are played. Future fine tuning (partly thanks to your feedback) will fix that.

No problem, every bug reported is a future dead bug to me!

One proposal. Progress line of the song to be big.Difficult hits.

Agreed. However I need to think a bit about this.

Did a  full reinstall, but the problem is still there, even on the setup screen where it says "Hi".

System details are in under my name and in my sig, but in brief...

How are the system resources when this happens? Any program using a lot of CPU or RAM or causing heavy disk access?

[FiB3R]

Nope. I closed everything running in the system tray, and only have Dopamine running, which resulted in 0% HDD, 1% CPU, 16% RAM

 

Dopamine is using ~54MB RAM and 0% cpu while idle in the background, up to 10% if I move my mouse around, but no slowdown, even if the mouse is highlighting stuff in Dopamine.

 

No real difference in ram/cpu usage while Dopamine is in the foreground, just my mouse becoming really jerky, and the ultra fine graininess all over my screen.

video drivers?

Up to date. v361.43

[FiB3R]

For what it's worth, I dropped my refresh rate form 144Hz to 60Hz and it made no difference.

[FiB3R]

Another strange thing... If I am dragging Dopamine around the screen, there is no slowdown and the fuzz goes away, but once I let go of it, the mouse starts to jerk around again, and the fuzziness comes back.

[Ravensky]

Windows 10?

[FiB3R]

yep

[Ravensky]

Are you running fraps or nvidia experience? something that adds a screen overlay to directX?

 

If so try uninstalling Nvidia Experience or Fraps, whatever it may be and see if that solves the issue.

[FiB3R]

I do have GeForce Experience installed, but exiting it made no difference.

I don't think uninstalling it will make any difference, but at this point, I'm out of ideas, so I suppose it's worth a shot.

Actually, you've reminded me that I recently installed a driver for my new monitor (upgraded from a PG278Q to a PG279Q), so that seems like a potential candidate.

 

But then all my other software seems to be fine, so...

[FiB3R]

Uninstalling my monitor driver, and then GeForce Experience, testing before and after a restart each time. That made no difference, but a full, clean install of the gfx drivers (including GFE) has sorted it

 

Seems so obvious in hindsight

 

Thank you Ravensky

 

Still, I do wonder why only Dopamine was affected.

[Ravensky]

not sure either I don't know how it was coded   Sounds like it may use an opengl or directx component for the transparency, not sure.  Glad I could help.  Now you know you have a clean driver install though =)

Nice troubleshooting you did guys thanks! WPF (the UI rendering framework used in Dopamine) is hardware accelerated through DirectX, always, even when there is no transparency involved. That explains its dependency on the GPU driver. However, I have no clue what was wrong with the driver installation.

[FiB3R]

The strange part to me is that it only happened when dopamine was in the foreground.

 

If Dopamine was the only app on screen, but I clicked on the desktop wallpaper behind it, the problem would go away, even though passing the mouse across Dopamine still interacts with it, highlighting things, etc. And actually dragging Dopamine around made the issue go away too.

I have very little idea about coding, or how any of it works, so it's all magic to me anyway

Soita is an excellent example of what can be done with Rainmeter and controlling media player inputs.

 

If you could swing this that would be AWESOME!

 

Thank you!

Why? You can use the built in micro player for this purpose.

In order to make using rainmeter a more worthwhile endeavour.

Raphael,

So far I have no problems using your magnificent program.

I am grateful to you for it. I donated it already.

I scanned my all CDs and I use program every day.

My main wish is now to be possible that after click, to see in program all collection or only part.  Let me explain. For now I have three folders with different kind of music: Classical, Jazz-Rock and Others. Because the list is too long (over 750 CDs - 72GB) would be more comfortable, to have choice to see only one folder, without unloading others by configuration. Using of Genres, at this case, is not quite good, because each folder has many "Sub-Genres".

Another issue, which I asked some time ago, is possibility to print index of my collection - similar as in ITune.

And finally, it's not so important, but convenient - space entries, e.g. Search, should be more visible, especially when background is set in dark mode.

I hope that above is possible to add to Dopamine.

And - of course in the far future - we dreaming similar program for video collections :-) !

Regards

WesleyS

Can't the same thing be accomplished with playlists? Just curious...

Thanks for your donation! I really appreciate it

I'm planning an internal revamp of the folder management. I've been unhappy about it for a long time. E.g.: removing a folder doesn't remove the files from you collection. Ideally I'd like this action to remove the songs, but keep rating (and later: playcount, skipcount,...) just in case you'd want to re-add the folder later. I have an idea how to do it. I could then add the extra option you'd want.

Would something like the extra checkbox below (for each folder then, and better looking :)) work for you?

 

 

For the visibility: do you mean that the entry fields are too dark?

 

For printing of the index. I'm not sure what it is and how it looks like. If you can show me an example, I'd be glad to look into it. I'll also bing it and see what comes up

 

Edit: you mean this, for the itunes index printing? (second screenshot)
