Hi,

 

Is there a size limit for Dopamine?
A number of songs not to be exceeded?
When I do a tag modification through the software, I have the following error:

Tell me how to send you the logs.

Hi,

 

I've been using Dopamine for a few weeks now and I love the simplicity and the design.

It just hits all the right marks for me.

 

I was just wondering, is it possible to display the comments of an mp3 file on the music player, as I often edit those sections in order to keep track of my music.

 

If not, that's fine as well.

 

Cheers,

Evan

Hey there, I'm back. 

I've been having a bit of trouble with controlling Dopamine using my headphones. They have a touch gesture on them that lets me pause/play and skip to the song forward/backward. These actions haven't been working with Dopamine. I could swear that they were working when I used Dopamine like a month ago but now they are not working. The headphone controls are working with YouTube and even groove music so it probably isn't the headphone's fault. I have enabled external control in Dopamine settings but it hasn't changed anything. Any ideas?

THere is no limit to the number of songs that Dopamine can play. If this issue is still relevant, you can send the logs to [email protected]

Hello,

Thank you for liking Dopamine. No, it is not possible to display comments. Could you tell me in which way you would like to see comments?

Hi!

 

I'm just trying Dopamine for the first few songs. I notice that when playing (in shuffle mode) there is a small fade-in when I skip to the next song. This kind of triggers me :s.

I searched the settings but I can't find anything related to turn it off.

 

Is this correct?

I'm not aware of any fade in. Does it always happen?

Hi

It's me again. I really like this app. This has been my daily driver app for a couple months.

 

I just want to ask that is it possible to display .lrc files? I have downloaded most of my songs with .lrc files which made song to display some karaoke-ish style to sing along the song.

LRC files should be used automatically, as long as they are in the same directory as their audio file, and that the file name is the same as the audio file. Example:

 

amazing song.mp3

amazing song.lrc

Are we expecting Verisia 3 soon? 

Version 3 previews are available since June. We're at preview 3 currently. I release, at least, 1 preview per month. Version 3 is a complete rewrite that adds Linux support. So there is still a lot of work to get feature parity with version 2. But it's already a basic usable player. Previews can be found on the Dopamine 3 GitHub page: https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine/releases

 

Please not that preview 3 requires you to install preview 2 first (due to a bug that causes a crash after a clean install of preview 3). That will be solved in Preview 4.

Any news on when the next Preview will be released?
Thanks buddy, and keep up the awesome work as always 😀

Omg, I'm so sorry for not replying any sooner. Thanks for your patience. I'll try to be better at this. AS for the delay, for the last preview op Dopamine 3, I wanted to add the playlists feature. It's quite monstrous, as it requires a lot of new logic to be written. It made no sense to release a preview with a half-implemented feature (you'd see no difference). So this took a lot of time. There was also another project that came in between, which stalled Dopamine development for a few weeks. Dopamine 3 Preview 8 was released yesterday, and has basic playlists support. I still need to add drag and drop and smart playlists capabilities. But the basic architecture is done, so adding those extra's won't take as much time. Other features, like rating queuing,... are smaller (code-wise). So I'll be able to release previews much faster again.

No worries, Raphael. I think I read something you wrote about it someplace else. Perhaps on Github?
Anyway, thank you for the heads up and stay well 😄

Excelent work , Raphael! Now I revisited again the github and found that there is a linux version too ;) WOW! Awesome work. It runs flawless.

Thanks you for your hard work on this app.

Oh dear, I did it again. I'm so sorry for the late reply. Thank you for enjoying Dopamine! Indeed, Version 3 runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac too! :) There is still a lot of work to get feature-parity with Dopamine 2, but it's already pretty cool. Dopamine 3 is labeled as "Preview" until all or most Dopamine 2 features have been added. I hope the label doesn't scare users too much, because it's really as stable as Dopamine 2.

Hello! On version 2.0.9 of the cover player, there is a lag in the window movement when a playlist is open.  If I close the playlist there is no problem.

Probably caused by playing Christmas songs in October...

Hi Raphael,

Loving the player as always, now using it on my Linux box!

Quick question, does Dopamine 3 support updating through the app, or do I have to download the latest .appimage on each release?

Thanks! :)

Thanks for loving it! For now, you'll have to download the appimage manually. The app will notify you that a new version is available. A download link will be provided in the update notification.

Last.fm scrobbling makes this finally become an interesting alternative for many people. I'm currently planning to (finally) replace AIMP by something with a cleaner UI.  I'll give it a spin tomorrow.

Thanks! Let me know if you have remarks. Please note that Dopamine 3 is not feature complete yet. I've listed the features that are planned for the 3.0 final release: https://github.com/digimezzo/dopamine/issues/323

    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.

    • 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.
