WMP 10 is Released


Recommended Posts

i really like the player but when i open a folder or something the cpu usage goes up to 100%..:crazy:

Got DivX?

DivX is know to create such high CPU usage.

There are some instructions on the DivX forum pages.

In addition delete the following key contents

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\System FileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler

Close IE & WMP.

Goto Control Panel->Internet Options->Delete File...

Check 'Delete all offline content'

Click OK.

Restart WMP

Nope. Still fuxored. Pretty sad they don't have a option to give feedback.

Other thing that just happened, 20 things just got added to favorites. Glad I have SpySweeper.

Just installed final release and all I can say is......where did my Radio go?!!!! :huh:

If you ever find out, let me know too.... :unsure:

Just found:

1.14 Where did the Radio Tuner feature go?

Windows Media Player 10 no longer has a Radio Tuner feature. Instead, to locate radio stations, click Guide, and then click Radio Tuner. You must be connected to the Internet to use the Guide feature. You can also register with an online store to access radio services.

Radio stations are no longer displayed in the library in Windows Media Player 10. Radio stations that were in the library prior to updating to Windows Media Player 10 are not retained.

Well that's now useless to me then. I'm damned if I'm going to go through the crap guide just for radio. Back to Winamp....

Where does WMP10 get the files from for the album art for the Energy Bliss visualisation?

My album art works for the Album Art visualisation, but I just get an image of a blank CD case for the Energy Bliss visualisation.

Has anybody got this to work? If so, where is your album art located, and what is the filename?

The one problem that I seem to be having is whenever I insert an audio CD to rip, MP10 pulls in the song info, but not the cover art. I then try to update the media info, and the album art show up in update screen, but when I click on finish to update the media info, still no album art. Anyone have a workaround for this issue? I know this was a major issue in the preview, but it's still doesn't seems to be fixed.

Thanks.

To answer my own question above, this is how WMP10 stores album art when ripping CD's:

AlbumArt.jpg

...which is fine for CD's that I rip in the future, but what about the 100's I've already ripped?

The album art filename which WMP10 generates seems to be unique, how can I add album art?

I already have a JPEG image called "Folder.jpg" in each of my album folders.

-EDIT- Not sure what Photobucket has done, but it seems to have screwed up the colours in my screenshot.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
