I've always seen it as it's own button in other media players (and I'd personally prefer that as I don't using ratings)

I think I can add that. I'll have to remove the heart rating system and use the hearts for last.fm love. I think nobody will miss them :), star rating is most popular.

I will miss it... I use it as I don't like the star method, but I will do what I have to do :p

Issue created: https://github.com/digimezzo/Dopamine/issues/176. Planned for 1.2 release. Unless I bump into serious challenges.

Do you like to add this? :happy:

I think it's a little more pleasant, beyond being a small detail, personally, I find a little odd the very square interfaces :dontgetit:

You're doing a great project (Y)
Sorry if my english is not good :unsure:

Awesome :) This was pretty much the only feature I was missing from dopamine

 

I just wanted to say I really appreciate what you've done with dopamine. It's coming along really nicely and is my main audio player now, most polished interface out of any windows media player and has some nice features (I love the recently added album art download function)

Not sure. I'd have to try it out first and see the effect on the rest of the player. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

Better?

 

I don't think it looks quite right as the curves are not equal to the other curves and they can't be due to the letter placement. I personally think it's ok as it is.

 

Now actual album selection on the other hand... I'm still not very keen on the blue filter big tick over the artwork.

What do you mean not equal? I copy and pasted them, so that are exactly the same. And they match the search bar.

Not sure if I'm 100% sold on the idea myself, but I don't think it looks bad.

Maybe it's just deceptive to my eye because they are further out than the letters. When aligned equally then the text is tight inside the curve.

ok, I see what you mean.

 

I did move the highlight slightly to the left or right in order to give enough padding around the text. It would have been better to indent the heading text instead.

Hi all. Thanks for you mock ups! I'm not sure I like any rounding in the selections yet though. I'll let the idea mature in my head first :) 

Meanwhile, a new preview of Dopamine is available:

 

Dopamine 1.2 Build 753 (Preview)

 

- [Added] Added lyrics support (edit lyrics + screen to display lyrics while playing) - [Added] Added an option to modify how much volume changes when scrolling with the mouse on the volume bar - [Added] Collection refresh on startup is now optional - [Changed] "See you later" screen when closing is only displayed when there are background tasks remaining - [Changed] Improved the "Follow song" description as it was confusing - [Changed] Improved the quality of the cloud screen covers - [Fixed] Dopamine now respects Windows case insensitivity for files and folder names

 

Download + info here

When upgrading from a previous preview build, you might bump into the "Oops" screen at startup. If you click the "Show details" button on that screen, you notice that Dopamine complains that Dopamine.db.old already exists. That is because this build tries to update your database to the latest version, but before doing that, it creates a backup of it, under the file Dopamine.db.old

 

I forgot to make it delete the previous .old file before creating a new one. That causes this error. You can resolve it by deleting the file %appdata%\Dopamine\Dopamine.db.old manually and then starting Dopamine again. I'll fix this issue for the next preview.

What kind of lyric it supports? The embedded one? or .srt file?

Just attempted to install the latest preview and now it won't start, when I click show details I get....

 

Quote

The file 'C:\Users\pmciver\AppData\Roaming\Dopamine\Dopamine.db.old' already exists.

 
 

Something I did wrong?

 

EDIT: To work around it, I renamed Dopamine.db.old to OldDopamine.db.old and tried again and it's opened up fine this time around, let me know if you need anything more.

He is fixing this with next release, a couple of posts above yours he discusses this :)

Next preview will add a "Love" button, which can send "Love" & "Unlove" to Last.fm, if you provided a Last.fm account and if you're signed in. The rating and love buttons can independently be shown and hidden in the settings.

 

 

Love.png

Hi all,

 

A new preview of Dopamine v1.2 is available. This is the change log:

 

– [Added] Added a ‘Love’ button which can send ‘Love’ and ‘Unlove’ requests to Last.fm
– [Changed] Sorting by album on the Songs screen now respects the track order inside an album
– [Changed] Updated the Greek translation
– [Fixed] Fixed “Follow the Windows color”. It was broken since version 1.1.
– [Fixed] Fixed a bug where lyrics from MiniLyrics didn’t work because they’re using 2 digits for milliseconds instead of 3

 

You can download it over here.

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.
