Contrary to most people nowadays, I always prefer things that work to those that look nice but do nothing.

That... "W" thing may look fabulous with all that pile o' skins and visual effects, but it won't even install on my system so from where I'm standing it's a useless POC.

On playlists: I tend to keep all tracks in one playlist, for convenience, but I also tend to group certain tracks together, depending on mood. Groups are usually the same but at times sorting may differ.
In this regard, drag'n'drop would greatly improve sorting/grouping, since now it's either "listen'em as they were loaded" or "random pick".

Today I've stumbled into a minor hotkey issue. Wanted to add volume hotkeys, for convenience and accidentally added them as Global instead of Local. After searching for the 'Remove hotkey' button (hint-hint

), I right-clicked'em and got an error saying 'hotkey is in use'. After closing options panel and reopening, I was able to remove the hotkeys and readd them as Local.

However, since I had added Up and Down for volume, the same keys were used for playlist navigation and the listview killed the volume functions. So maybe some keys should be excluded from definitions when the default controls that use them can't be overridden.

Just FYI: The BassVideo lib is coming along nicely.

Working so far (tested in PlayFile.exe): most wmv and asf files
Not working so far: (compressed) avi and others

Test files from: http://streams.videolan.org/streams-videolan/

Feature request: sound fade in/out on Pause.

Today I had to pause/continue tracks a few times. With headphones on, picking up the track from where it was left, at loud volume, is not nice at all, cross my heart. A timeline of about 3-3.5 seconds for the fading would be enough for ear adaptation to the sound volume.

My standalone CD player has such function and I found it extremely pleasant to use. The Trout implementation could take into account the volume level at which fading should automatically be enabled.

Along the same lines as Drugwash's "Feature request: sound fade in/out on Pause"... What about cross-fading between tracks?

Now you're getting greedy...

Forgot one thing I've been dying to ask: is track cache on? I mean, is the whole track loaded in memory before playback or is it being read directly from the drive? AFAIK, that "W" player has an option to "cache tracks shorter than [_____]" (that is, configurable size) and it yields pretty good results.

My reason to ask is that I'm having huge problems when download exceeds certain speed and... dunno... certain network buffer or something gets overloaded or bottlenecked; when that happens, sound and video start stuttering and only a system reboot can fix this issue. Track cache - from past experience - seemed to considerably reduce that effect.

If such feature is not present, please take it as (yet another) feature request, if possible. And apologies for being such a pain. :oops:

Apologies for the lack of replies over the past few days; I've been playing in a hockey tournament all weekend. Five games in three days...woohoo.

@Drugwash/SoggyDog: I've added both of your requests to my list. Thanks.

@Drugwash: I added a delete hotkey button to the Options dialog and I'll look into that bug you've described as well.

Thank you!
I hope you're still in one piece after all those games, with not too many bumps and bruises.

Today I noticed a small bug:
- insert an audio CD
- go to File > Add file
- select *.cda in the dropdown
- select any track from the audio CD other than Track 01
- play the selected track

Result: it will always play the first track (Track 01) instead of the chosen one. :roll:

Good luck with the to-do and bug hunting and have a great week ahead!

Thanks for the updates!

Streaming audio stations in the playlist gives some troubles though. The values get updated with the tag info, which is not always available, or changes (reflects in the playlist). If I add those stations, I get a long list of random and empty items, and I have to use the search to look for words in the showing items, because the fields get randomly updated.

Could you look at creating some sort of consistancy for this?

Kudos!

(In case you didn't notice: a bassvideo preliminary library is available from k3ph)

You're welcome and I whole-heartedly agree that the streaming stuff needs a bit of work. The problem, as you've seen, is that not all stations have streaming tags. Would you please PM me some of the URLs that you listen to so I can see what can be done?

Yep, again though, video in Trout is a ways off (if ever). There's already enough half-assed stuff in Trout and I'd rather not half-ass something like video support. Hahahaha.

Here are some from NL/BE (some work, some don't)

Code:

http://zeilsteen.ic-stream.nl:7052/
http://mp3.streampower.be/stubru-high
http://streamers.at.sara.garnierprojects.com/kinkfm
http://server-06.stream-server.nl:8040

Using "Add URL" while a stream is playing, gives strange results in the playlist too.
