Can you send me your logfile? I'd like to know what it is trying to do.

You can delete Dopamine.db. You can find it in folder %appdata%\dopamine

Here it is:

Excellent! I saw in your logs that you used build 685 at some point. I made a mistake in the database upgrade in that build. I suspect that it might have caused your issues (I pulled the build after a user notified me of issues, but it was too late).

Not sure if this bug came from this latest build but I added some new albums and it just hung forever trying to add album covers. I restarted Dopamine and those albums still don't have artwork.

 

Looks like the same issue I had. Try deleting Dopamine.db in %appdata%\dopamine , as @Raphaël G. suggested.

I broke the songs screen a bit in build 700. I released an extra build quickly: 1.1 build 702 Preview

 

- [Fixed] Shuffle doesn't perform a loop anymore. It is now possible to manually switch on Loop and Shuffle together.

- [Fixed] Fixed double clicking song on Songs screen only queues the clicked song

Hey Raphael! Great release. But I am having a problem with my Philips SHB7000 wireless headset and Dopamine. When using my headset's media keys, Next and Previous works as expected but Play/Pause doesn't work. Its not picked up by your Keyboardtest. Groove Music has no problem with my headset.
 

^ For Next and Previous. Nothing recorded for Play/Pause.

Back in April I posted this. I think it was build 640. Back then I had to use Groove to satisfy my needs, so never really cared about using it when in Dopamine. Surprisingly It is fixed in build 700 and I have no problems using my headset. Went through each changelog, don't know what fixed the issue, .NET upgrade, or WASAPI or the Windows 10 AU. Now I don't need Groove at all :D

EDIT: Tried to install the 660 stable release by uninstalling the current version to check when it got fixed, got an Oops error at startup and got this in details.

EDIT2: Back on build 702 and no issues so far. Strange, I thought a stable release had to be... 'stable'

Thanks for confirming this! :) It was explicitly fixed in Dopamine build 694. See change log item:


- [Fixed] Bluetooth headset play/pause button not detected

 

I open sourced Dopamine a while ago, and someone else fixed the bug for me. Good thing, because I didn't know where to start and also don't have a Bluetooth headset to test with.

Oh shoot, didn't see that. Plus this issue of going back to the stable release is there, got the OOPS screen again with build 660:/

What do you mean? You installed build 700, and then reverted to build 660? If yes, the Oops screen is expected. Build 660 is not compatible with the database of recent builds.

You'll have to delete the %appdata%\Dopamine folder if you want to use build 660 again.

Another build was released: 1.1 build 704 Preview

 

Build releases are following each other rather quickly. I'm ironing out bugs fast for the 1.1 release (getting close).

 

This is the changelog:

 

– [Changed] Removed search field on Cloud screen
– [Fixed] Equalizer manual preset values incorrectly saved, causing audio engine crash.

I'll need your help. Could you try out build 708, to check if your headset still works fine with it? You can get that build here

The headset fix broke media keys for other users, and I now attempted to fix it for everyone (or at least for as much people as possible).

Thanks! I got confirmation from a second headset user, and also from someone where keyboard media keys were broken. Everything seems to work.

Another build was just released: 1.1 build 709 preview

 

This is the change log:

 

– [Changed] Adjusted built-in equalizer presets so their effect on the audio is more noticeable
– [Fixed] Album cover not displayed when playing a file from explorer
– [Fixed] Improved detection of media keys

Hi all,

 

Version 1.1 final is almost ready. That means that development on 1.2 will start soon. In 1.2 I'd like to add scrobbling, as it is a much demanded feature. I have no experience with scrobbling, so I'll need some input here.

Do you have examples of how scrobbling should work and which scrobbling features are a must-have?

 

Thanks!

Sorry, i don't use scrobbling, can't help on this one, used to scrobble long time ago with foobar2000 and last.fm.

I have a request, maybe it is already asked : it is possible to add support for DSD files ?

 

Thank you!

Nice work on 1.1. :)

 

This seems like a good time to re-request a feature - a fixed playback device setting. I'd use Dopamine a lot more often if I didn't have to manually change my output device to speakers, then back to headphones, every time I use it.

Thanks!

 

Could you explain a bit more how you use audio players? I can provide a list of available audio devices, but you'll still have to switch the device manually when changing from speakers to headphones.

My setup is as follows; I have my onboard Realtek sound system set to treat my headphone and speaker jacks as separate audio devices. Windows is set to use "Headphones" as the default device, which leaves a 2nd "Speakers" device spare. Most of my listening is done through the headphones (e.g. YouTube, games) which requires no further setup as they are the default device. When I use foobar2000 to play music, it is set to output to the secondary "Speakers" device so that music comes through the speakers instead.

 

Basically, it's all just a way to automate having music play through the speakers, and everything else through the headphones. This way, I hardly ever need to change the default output device, a current exception being Dopamine for example.

OK thanks. That's what I wanted to know. If I give you a list of audio devices in Dopamine, you'll be able to do this.

    • Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 by Razvan Serea Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (MPC-HC) is a free and open-source video and audio player for Windows. MPC-HC is based on the original Guliverkli project (which is no longer maintained) and contains many additional features and bug fixes. As the continuation of the original Media Player Classic, MPC-HC isn’t flashy but it works with nearly any media format. MPC-HC uses DXVA technology to pass decoding operations to your modern video card, enhancing your viewing experience. And MPC-HC supports both physical and software DVDs with menus, chapter navigation, and subtitles. Overview of features A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about: Dark interface Menu > View > Dark Theme When using dark theme it is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons. Options > Advanced Video preview on the seekbar Options > Tweaks > Show preview on seek bar Adjust playback speed Menu > Play > Playback rate The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%): Options > Playback > Speed step Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction. Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later Options > Player > History You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel. You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown. You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player. Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting) Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only) A-B repeat - You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers. You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video Menu > View > Pan&Scan This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below). There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well. Options > Player > Keys Tip: there is a search box above the table. You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites Put yt-dlp.exe or youtube-dl.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder. Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp/youtube-dl, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder. Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced This includes an option to specify the location of the .exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder. Play HDR video This requires using madVR or MPC Video Renderer. After installation these renderers can be selected here: Options > Playback > Output Ability to search for and download subtitles, either automatically or manually (press D): Options > Subtitles > Misc Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 2.7.2 changelog: Updated LAV Filters to version 0.81-23-g6fadb Updated MPC Video Renderer to version 0.10.2.2540 Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 26.05 Updated MPC Audio Renderer Several crash fixes, bug fixes and small improvements.

    • No problems here using the new Outlook. In our company we started to default installing to users on new computers or when we're reimaging. But, if the user needs/ask for the classic one, we install it. Low reject rate at this point.
    • Yeah it's my only home/business computer. The Surface Pen magnetic Storage is on the left side, but it doesn't charge the Pen. I do the charging once every 6+ months by interchanging between 2 rechargeable AAAA batteries and charging the other via a USB A battery charger.
