Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2


Recommended Posts

My only complaint so far: Those new icons are cool but I don't like how they stole my associations, even though I specifically set it to NOT do so. So now all my mp3's are associated with WMP and Windows Explorer shows the new mp3 icon. I don't want that. I want my mp3's associated with Winamp and the Winamp icon that I chose. Why do programs insist on stealing associations?

I personally wrote almost all of the association code here. I will follow up with a PM here: I imagine you ran through it in Express mode, which as it says will "Make Windows Media Player the default music and video player...". If that is *not* the case, I would be extremely utterly interested in fixing your issue, as I have zero interest in 'stealing' associations ever. Please check your PMs: let's follow up on this.

Exactly the same here. I wonder why this build has issues.

Why the hell they remove the support for compressed tag? It makes all most all mp3 files unplayable and ID3 tag in WMP Library becomes crap.

It is a suicide. iTunes and other music players will win if they continue to do so. :no:

I have been complaining about this issue on their forum a lot. Not sure what will happen. I really love the "Browsing Album Art" features. If it is not because of that, I don't even want to use WMP.

If you want to provide a link to a sample piece of afflicted content, that's more interesting. There's ton of different tagging utilities out there that do all sorts of strange things. It'd be good to understand what's either wrong with WMP or the content that causes this badness.

you gonna fix what you did or should continue are convo in here?

let me know

BUG since WMP v11 beta 1:

I cannot type Unicode characters (Chinese in my case) into ID3 tags of MP3 files via Windows Explorer's file properties dialog anymore. After saving and re-open the file properties dialog, the Unicode fields will turn up blank. It didn't happen before I had WMP11 installed. Note that this only affects MP3 files (and possibly others but I haven't try). For WMA files it works just fine. How annoying!

Bah, no native x64 support :cry:

yeah well... i'm very disappointed with microsoft in this time. year and half has gone since xp x64 is out and they still not able to get it fully working on there... even - how much people work on wmp? one, two? i doubt that more... (repost from closed thread)

    • 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.
