Play / Pause no longer works from my keyboard :(  I am using a Cosair K70 RGB multimedia keyboard and this used to work, now it does not!  I push play/ pause and it pauses then plays again... its supposed to be a toggle.

 

Tested with 1.5.4 its working fine.  1.5.6 ... not working!

That's unexpected. Media keys support hasn't been touched since 1.5.4.

 

Have you re-tested with 1.5.4 after testing with 1.5.6? This would rule-out external factors (you can use the portable 1.5.4 version to avoid messing with your collection. It will create a local collection in the folder where the portable version resides, which you can safely delete after testing).

 

Are you, by any chance, using a Windows 10 insider build? I have reports that build 17063 breaks the Dopamine system notification. Just trying to rule out this too.

Is your Logitech issue new since Dopamine 1.5.6 or have media keys never worked with Dopamine when using the Logitech keyboard? Logitech is known to use custom software (SetPoint) to map media key shortcuts, which interferes with the default way of doing things. So you'll need to be exact when replying to this question.

Could your issue be related to this? Dopamine issue 578 and How do I get my Logitech media buttons to control Spotify

My apologizes I upgraded to 1.5.6 and this time I rebooted and it's working fine.  Sorry for the trouble.  I never use insider builds, Windows 10 has enough issues as it is lol

Sorry for the late reply, batteries were getting low on the keyboard. Replaced them and the issue is gone...

I'm not sure why, exactly, but Dopamine doesn't want to play a folder from the context menu, Just shows an empty playlist. Trying to find a replication.

Is there anything in the log file?

Guys, when I use the context menu in the Windows File Explorer to listen to an album with Dopamine, it doesn't work. It opens Dopamine with the miniplayer, but it stays blank and nothing gets played. Is this happening just to me?

Thanks!

You're not alone. That's the same issue as reported 2 posts up. I broke that when adding another feature in one of the latest builds. Version 1.5.8 will fix it (release is in a day or 2).

Is it ok to just install over the previous version?

Yes it is. I'd wait a day though. I discovered an issue in version 1.5.8, where albums don't show when an artist or genre only has 1 album. I'm working on a fix.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
