Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2


Recommended Posts

if the User-Mode Driver Framework download/install fails, install manually from link below:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0...-v1.0-WinXP.exe

then retry setup (helped me, at least)!

also, I like the new icons - different for different media types - nice!

I've also made the post over here: https://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&a...&cid=485296 before this post was made... But it doesn't matter as long as someone put here :)

But there is still one bug in windows media player 11 beta 2 that hasn't been fixed yet...

When your playing a video right click the screen and go to Video Size.. u'll noticed that "Fit Video To Player on resize" is checked off... you'll need to uncheck that and recheck it to correct the video size..

Yup thanks for the heads up...

Just downloaded and attempted install and have run into a problem tho...

After validation, and accepting the agreement I get the following error message:

On line install required: A required component is not available for download during windows mediaplayer setup. Please connect to the internet and run setup again.

But, I am connected to the internet?

EDIT:

Extracted files thn ran the wmp11.exe then rebooted, and all ok now!

Looks very nice gotta say!

CeNo.

Still Beta for 2003 server, alltho it is supposed to be supported in the Final build. anyone had any luck installing on Windows Server 2003?

Did you try to extract the .exe file into a folder and run the wmp11.exe... Then reboot.. Then go back into that folder and run wmfdist11.exe? that should work...

Is it ok to install ontop or should I uninstall the old one first? Will I lose my tags on my mp3's and album art if I uninstall?

i've installed over top of the beta1 and didn't have any problems... all of the album art if store in the same folder as your mp3s... An once you start beta 2 up most of your mp3s should reload into the library...

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
