i've tried uninstalling WMP10, but it still doesn't work. Sometimes the installation will just stop at 16% where it says Currently Installing... Windows Media Format Runtime. The installation bar will just keep moving and moving till no end. :no:

managed to fix the problem, appears that the runtime cannot install due to wmdrmsdk.dll not being able to start, a re-install of itunes solved the problem although i'm not sure why. :pinch:

When using Urge and switching songs, WMP 11 tells me there it is an unrecognized file but WMP can probably still play it, so I select yes for the song to play. Weird bug.

Here is it in full:

There is a problem with the URL or file you are trying to open or play. If you are trying to open a URL, the URL may not be valid. If you are trying to play a file, the file type is not recognized by Windows Media Player, but the player may still be able to play the file. However, you should only play files from a trustworthy source.

Do you want the player to try to play this content?

I guess I don't get Microsofts position on x64...they advertise all this stuff about how x64 is the next wave and all that, but everything they release we have to wait another month for an x64 version. If they want it to catch on then why do they do that? The x64 stuff should be developed side by side with the 32bit. Besides when it's all said and done it will probably just run with 32 bit emulation anyways.

I agree. I have x64 installed and it won't let me install this beta ... seriously, if they are trying to push 64-bit technology, why not start developining the software to go along with it? Compiling something in 32 and 64-bit can't be that time consuming ...

Have you checked the labelling of the .exe file ? Somewhere on the line I can read x86 but I see no x64 ... :whistle:

Well just be patient . You got WMP 10 on x64 ? So you'll probably get WMP 11 ! :laugh:

there is no wmp 10 for x64. just some parts of it installing via windows update.

Just installed WMP 11 Beta

How do I get the right side pane to show in the Now Playing view? It some how disappeared.

Also how do I get option to search media info to organize my albums? In WMP 10 you could choose Find Album Info and it would go to a page and you could select the album your trying update info for.

Where is this option in WMP 11?

Also where can I get an AAC codec?

Thanks!

Having a bunch of trouble switching from iTunes to WMP11..

It won't add all of my music because of the way that iTunes seperates each artist/album into seperate subfolders. At this rate, I have to go and add every single album folder to the Monitoring Folders list! With 1600+ songs right now... I'm not really up to that.

Anyone else having these problems or know how to fix them? Thanks!

    • For me, the fundamental problems with these "smartglasses" is that they really don't work well for people with significant prescriptions and massively up the price if you use attached lenses if they have displays, and if they don't, then they're not actually "smart" anything, rather just connecting to your phone and relaying voice to an AI. In a few cases like this, they throw in small cameras to feed video to the AI. All around, these feel like both a solution looking for a problem, and the problems it tries to solve seem more easily solved by different approaches and designs. Oddly, if the rumours are true, Apple may actually have invented something for once and it kind of does this right: put cameras in ear buds and manage the interface to AI exactly as most of us do: tapping on an ear bud and saying "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri." That makes them compatible with almost everyone, can double up as a hearing assist device, an impaired vision assist device, a "smart" device... and answer your phone and play music. That just seems like a better solution all around.
    • Usually the bigger ones with many fixes/changes take a few, theyre an exception to the rule most likely
    • If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
