freeza Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 im guessing despite how new it is, it's still not newer than build 2848? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electronic Punk Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 2848 is really a hacked version of 1798 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 it is?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted September 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2002 no its not...otherwise all the versions of all the files installed were hacked, and to top it off, they're still signed by MS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronXP Posted September 25, 2002 Author Share Posted September 25, 2002 Originally posted by Electronic Punk 2848 is really a hacked version of 1798 ah, so that explains why one of our other MSFN admins found a lot of new features in 2800 which he hasn't seen before :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 what features are in 2800 that arent in 2848? haha i was thinkin the same thing ry....i mean i just checked most of them in the windows media player folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malechai Veteran Posted September 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2002 those people on msfn are making statements with no fact to back it up. "this build is far more bug free than 2848".. how so? what does he know that everyone else doesn't? does he have some sort of bug list for each build in front of him and is comparing them visually to come to that conclusion? geezus, come on...

freeza Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Originally posted by AaronXP http://www.msfn.org/index.php?act=ST&f=50&t=3132 lmao ry maybe 2848 is the build beta testers are going by and MS just released an earlier one.....i mean come on now..it went from 2799 to 2800 sup with MS and their build numbers? ty aaron : i dont have any bug problems with 2848 as of yet so i guess i'll keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electronic Punk Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 It would make more sense .... Why would MS go bakcwards to fix bugs in 1799 if they were already at least at 2848... Hardly the way a company should work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FthrJACK Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 Thats pretty easy really, you have both builds, you use them both, i currently have 2848 on a PIII box and 2800 on a 2100+ XP box. both on XP pro. no i dont have a bug list, but if you had a smack in the face with a shovel would you question weather or not it would hurt? is a mini cooper faster than a subaru imprezza? ok, ill reword it, Build 2800 has far less OBVIOUS bugs than build 2848. and is more of a "finished" product. especially the playlist area.. file info option and the "buy media" stuff. jeeez........

scumdogmillionaire Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 MS went back to an earlier build and started again more than likely, so 2800 IS newer than 2848. There are bugs in 2848 (and all other leaked versions) that are not in 2799 and 2800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted September 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2002 ok whatever..i've just installed 2800 on a w2k box and it doesn't look like the screenshots posted in that msfn thread. those screenshots must be from a WMP9 on an XP box. whatever these "OBVIOUS" things are, i'm not seeing. so either you're full of crap, or i'm blind. continue this argument amongst yourselves cuz i've lost interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 2848 for me :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrokat Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 I noticed that media player 9 plays large files better .. I played a 8 gig movie last night with no lag. The progress bar is bigger (which i hated at first), but now its easiler to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FthrJACK Posted September 25, 2002 Share Posted September 25, 2002 the only really obvious stuff is the playlist window, oh and theres some new visualizations. lost interest cos you have been slapped down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malechai Veteran Posted September 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2002 slapped down by what? you? no, lost interest because this is hardly something to argue about. That and I don't have the time to argue about it, I'm at work. Play amongst yourselves ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
