Stealth, but trying to check for updates in first sturtup. To prevent - create settings.ini in app folder with:

Code: Select all

[settings]
update=0

@ozok: can i update BASS modules with newer versions? Or it broke the app?
And... why not TPlayer? In log it's called like that. I saw it in log because app can't play some .AAC and after that stop responding - just can't play any files, even that was played before

[ozok]

You can update them. I've actually updated them here (flac, wavpack and opus libs).
I was planning to name it TPlayer (right to the point I decided to release it, it was called TPlayer) then I saw that there was already a TPlayer. TPlayer you see in the log is the name of the player class, not the program's name. I wrote it like it to distinguish it from bass libraries' error codes.
I haven't found the cause of that behaviour yet, but restarting seems to solve the problem (bet solution ever, I know). Please copy the error codes next time.
BTW I've also noticed that drag&drop audio files doesn't work. Drag&drop folders work though.

EDIT: You can disable update checks by unchecking "Edit>General Settings>General>Check updates at start" box.

copy the error codes

Code: Select all

[10.08.2014 00:48:58] Error with file: C:\somepath\somefile.aac
[10.08.2014 00:48:58] TPlayer error: 3
[10.08.2014 00:48:58] Bass error: 5
[10.08.2014 00:48:58] Bass handle: 0

Code: Select all

[10.08.2014 01:22:36] Error with file: C:\somepath\somefile.wma
[10.08.2014 01:22:36] TPlayer error: 3
[10.08.2014 01:22:36] Bass error: 5
[10.08.2014 01:22:36] Bass handle: 0

But nevermind, maybe it's just broken files (but played fine with another players (XMPlay, MPlayer, ffplay, MPC-HC))
mp3, ogg, flac played fine
Very nice minimalistic player. One request: possibility to sort files in playlist by name, folder, album, artist, or just move files up/down, maybe just drag with mouse. And, can i add BASS modules for another filetypes not included in downloaded package?

@billon It looks like the same problem I have here. It's difficult to solve because it happens at random. But I think I found a solution.

I plan to add track dragging at some point, I don't know about sorting. I'm afraid you cannot add a module yourself, all plugins are hardcoded. Which plugin do you want? Note that I don't plan to add equalizer, dps etc.

> Very low resource usage

Confirmed, at least on my system: I've got 9.7 megs RAM on Win7x86, processor usage is very low (so far hasn't gone above 1% CPU). For comparison, my player of choice Foobar2000 takes up about 20 megs and CPU usage starts off around 5-15% (think it's checking the library settings).

Checker - Thanks for pointing it. I missed it.

Sadly I will not be able to use oooplayer without the most important features - 10 band Graphic equalizer, Winamp dsp support.

I'm working on adding internet radio function now.

Cool

[ozok]

I release 1.3 a few hours ago. I added radio stations I extracted from a radio player program but I couldn't remember it's name. I wanted to give credit or remove stations if author of that tool was unhappy. I'm sure I've seen it here. Anyway, changes:

Code: Select all

-Added: Radio player
-Added: Visualization
-Added: A few interface changes
-Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts for "Save Playlist" and "Stop" were the same

OooPlayer now has a github repo too: https://github.com/ozok/OooPlayer
