my network runs very smooth, I stream blue-ray .mkv files no problem :p

 

Thank you Raphael, I will test this out with the new build =)

then youll not have any problem with high quality audio streams :) 

 

oh thought of a new addin (lol sorry!) shoutcast support? that would be cool internet music channels etc. Just a thought ;)

Just out of interest, does it yet support Media keyboards?  I have a logitech K350 and it doesn't react to any of the next/prev/stop/pause buttons...

 

Update: It works if the Logitech software is disabled.  That sucks - for logitech and me :(

 

Update: Something about players.ini in the SetPoint folder

Seems to be a common problem for custom media players:

 

http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Logitech_Keyboard_Media_Keys

https://github.com/clementine-player/Clementine/issues/2431

 

I have no idea what needs to be in players.ini. Maybe copying an existing entry and replacing the player's name by "Dopamine" and the path to dopamine in the copied entry?

 

Edit:

 

I found different examples for different players. You might try the bold one (no idea if it will work though):

 

[Players]
foobar2000=key,foobar2000.exe,FOOBAR2000_CLASS,xxx,xxx,C,X,Z,B,V,0,0,Foobar2000
mpc=key,mplayerc.exe,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,32791,32792,0,0,Media Player Classic
Media Portal=xxx,mediaportal.exe,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,0,Media Portal

dopamine=xxx,Dopamine.exe,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,0,Dopamine

 

[Players.Run]
foobar2000=path,C:\Program Files\foobar2000\
mpc=path,C:\Program Files\mplayerc\
Media Portal=path,c:\program files\team mediaportal\mediaportal\

dopamine=path,C:\Program Files (x86)\Dopamine

 

[Players.Display]
foobar2000=foobar2000
mpc=Media Player Classic
Media Portal=Media Portal

dopamine=Dopamine

 

The problem is the parameters in the [Players] section. I have no idea what they mean. And I don't have a Logitech keyboard to experiment with :(

Hey all. I've got a "preview preview" build for you (it is not a public preview)

Disclaimer: it might be a bit rough on the edges. I did only quick testing. It won't break your collection though.

 

This is the changelog:

 

8-02-2016: Dopamine 1.0.0.572 (Preview)
 

- Now playing now has a list of playing songs
- It is now possible to add and remove songs from now playing

 

And you can get it here:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xtihhv85o26qwnw/AABtfqFOkbFYIyBV6mmnbOEYa?dl=0

 

Let me know if you are brave enough to try it out, and if you see bugs. Now playing is not finished yet, there is some more to come. Especially when nothing is playing.

Unfortunately, it crashed immediately after the splash screen appears. Just performing clean install with no luck.

I don't know what is happening, but the older build also crashed on my pc (it didn't happen before). Here's the content of Dopamine log file :

I think it can't find you database. Could you check if there is a file Dopamine.db under: %appdata%\dopamine

 

Could you check its file size?

Well, seems like build 450 is working perfectly right now on my pc. Then I'm checked the %appdata% folder, I can find Dopamine.db which is 697 KB in size.

Something is wrong in database creation, perhaps?

I'm installing build 570 a few days ago without any problem. But since I'm upgrading it with build 572, the crash problem start to plague. Trying to re-install build 570 today, and it crashed this time. Confusing, right? :/ 

I'll try to create a new user account, and will report back if the problem persist or not.

You don't need a new user account. Just open the folder %appdata% and delete the "Dopamine" folder.

Hey wait, it might not be the database that it cannot find. Could you check if there is a file called Axon.exe in the installation directory? This file is new since the last few builds.

 

Edit: and if it is missing, could you tell me which antivirus you're running and if it has quarantined the file?

Well I can't find the file. Running Avast Premier here.

That is most likely your problem. I've had multiple reports of Avast blocking Dopamine.exe and/or Axon.exe.

You might have to whitelist them (if possible and if you trust me :))

Fix it! Thank you so much, Raphael. :D

Synapse.exe is also blocked here. :shiftyninja:

That's good news! I think I'll add an explicit check and logging for the files that are needed to start up. That will make troubleshooting easier in the future.

Will there be an OSX version? :D

Unfortunately not. I don't have a Mac and I have absolutely no experience in OSX development.

 

Edit: I'm not surprised that Avast blocks Synapse.exe too. It seems to eat random exe's for breakfast. It's the reason I stopped using it. Each time I compiled Dopamine it failed to run, because as soon as the "exe" was created, it got quarantined even before I could launch it.

Bug found.

When I have a long list of songs in the queue (1600+ songs here), sometimes it takes a massive 2-7 seconds delay between double-clicking a song and the moment the song itself to actually play.

EDIT : this is happening everywhere except the now playing screen.

Thanks for reporting. I found where this comes from and will be fixed in the next public preview.

I like the faded album art in the background of now playing...

 

It disappears after it goes to the next track in the album though.

 

The song list is a nice touch as well.

 

 

The first iteration did that. Have you tried build 570 (it should only fade out when switching albums)?

 

Edit: I just realized you spoke about the songs list, so you must be using build 572.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.

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.
