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:

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.

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.

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
    • No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
