can't move the progress slider at all in wmp12 when video files are open from the 'frequent' files list under the pinned wmp icon. But the same files opened when navigating the its location are fine, the slider works and everything seems normal.

another bug? solutions?

Does anyone else have problems with subtitles on wmp12?

It is a player's bug or a codec bug?

Subtitles seem to work fine for me. But I have a 3rd party codecs installed

Man WMP12 is such a mess right now. What the heck happened to the tag editor? I can't even find a way to put in album art or edit detailed tag information like in WMP11. The Taskbar popup buttons are almost useless considering even laptop keyboards have shortcuts for pausing, next, and previous now. What we need is a seekbar, maybe some way to access the current playlist directly from the popup (not sure if it's possible), and at least SHOW THE NAME OF THE FRIGGIN SONG PLAYING in the preview title bar!

Well for me WMP12 is one step backward.

To sum it up its Crap state now.

They need to fix all those tag editing problems

Is that confirmed? I did imagine WMP12 will only be for Vista, W7 and W2008. MS should've done that with IE8 but there is a lot more riding on that one.

WMP12 for XP wont happen , mainstream support has expired.

but for Vista there are likely hood that it is in the making

Does anyone know how I should be tagging my "Various Artists" music to list properly in WMP12? Currently they are spread all over the place in order of artist.

All of my other music is listed fine, this is the only issue I'm having.

I'm guessing I need to add a "Various Artists" tag to a FIELD other than "ALBUM ARTIST" which I'm currently using...

EDIT: I'm also experiencing issue with 720p playback, WMP seems to have locked you into using their own codecs in WMP and the HD decoder gives very choppy playback, my CPU and memory usage stays low but I still get choppy video, any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

      I know I won't ever be using it to make my game. I'd rather pay humans.

      Nah. For every indie dev that needs to create code for "stuff" or textures, it's a godsend enabler to possibly tackle a project that you may not otherwise. The end result and testing will tell the truth if everything works or doesn't, or a game is just mediocre slop, but now these tools are now there and it's the developer's duty to judge the outcome, and even more so for pro studios. And you gotta remember that they will be at an early stage.

      As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.
