That sure is fancy! :) I don't know what I'll do with the info yet, but I might try it out.

 

In other news: I added lyrics source information to the lyrics screen (tonight's build will have it). Left shows online lyrics, right shows embedded lyrics.

I love the lyrics improvements, hate the spinning disc thing... that's awful. That is just my opinion, I am not criticizing anyone's idea.  Thinking outside the box is great, but if you decided to implement that allow me some way to turn it off and keep the way it is now :)  Nice job as always.

Don't worry, if it ever makes it, it would be an option as it doesn't work with all types of covers.

I am updating some movies on my Plex server tonight, and realise how much I'd love something like Dopamine for my Xbox, which is currently the main media player in our house.

 

Plex is great for movies. Great. For music though, meh. I'd rather something like Dopamine. Whadya reckon Raph :) UWP time again? ;)

There is still no decent UWP audio player? If that's the case, I guess it would be UWP time indeed.

I downloaded your latest build. I saw the new track appear in the upper right. Can you make the background opaque, invisible? 

 

question Some people with gaming laptops and desktops have high definition audio and use varying softwares to enhance the sound, Bass etc.

 

My laptop here uses dynaudio with Realtek drivers. I hope it isn't a huge endeavor to request in the future to 

 

place an icon for these utilities to access them from the interface? I was thinking about having the icon on the equalizer interface? So as to NOT clutter up the players interface as it is. Its a clean interface in my opinion.

Could the now playing  window remember the last selected view on close?  (showcase, playlist, lyrics, artist information)

That can be done. I'll try to have it in 1.2. This is the entry in the issue tracker: Remember last selected now playing view

Transparent notifications: I'm not sure about that. The current look and feel of the notifications doesn't fit with a transparent background, it'll have to be a different type of notification. But I'm not saying never. Just, not right now.

 

Support for 3rd party tools: I'm afraid I won't do that. I see 2 issues:

 

1. I try to keep a balance between built-in features and minimalism. Adding UI elements to 3rd party software would break that (even if it's hidden in a sub-screen).

2. Maintainability: I have no control over who has what and where installed. Supporting all systems is already a time-consuming endeavor right now. Adding support for 3rd party software, and trying to keep up with all the issues this could generate, would just kill it.

oh sorry, I didn't clarify myself better: it's a little consuming sifting around for my audio enhancement program/utility when I could access it from/through your app.

 

But I see a massive issue in additional programming on your part. Here are some of Nahimic 2's features within the adjustment utility.

Personally, it would be really nice to have a UWP player that could sync smart playlists like Winamp's wonderfully flexible Smart Views between desktop and phone. A music player that could do that and had Wi-Fi/LAN sync (like Zune) would be killer.

Hey, are you able to edit the first post in this thread to correct the links?  Because you should if you can.  You're not really linking to your project anymore.

I've corrected the first post. Thanks.

With the Artist view, if you select an album which is a multi-disc album, the songs show correctly in the 3rd column, but there is no separation in the list. Thoughts on adding disc 1, disc 2 etc in the UI as a separator in the song list for the selected album?

Is this just in the previews? I like the idea as it makes reporting easier but could it not be on the first page of the settings? Then it can just stay there regardless of version.

 

Once you've added the Maximise/Fullscreen button up there it's gonna be getting busy - That was a cheeky reminder of that request. :D

Yeah this would be nice so the BUG would be hidden unless we are in settings... :)

    • Cuktech 10 Ultra charger review: big display, four ports, 110W total power

      By 31067 · Posted

      I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
