    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Hi Pablo, I am in contact with Microsoft on this already. The same problem occurs when using the media controls that appear when pressing the volume button or the ones appearing when hovering the app icon on the taskbar. This is something that must be fixed in the OS most probably.

    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Oh and just now I read your previous post. Sorry, must have missed it! Yes there is a known issues that for some receivers auto continue is not working correctly. I changed something for the next update which might solve the issue (hopefully). I have some problems right now due to Windows 10...

    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Hi Pablo, I have had a few reports like that. It is a problem with the Windows Codec configuration. Some of the affected users could repair the problem using the "Windows 8 Apps Troubleshooter". Please check the first item in this support thread. I hope this works for you! If it does not help...

    windows 10 on thinkpad tablet 2

    According to Intel's twitter account they are working on a driver for the GMA 3600, which is the graphics chip also used by TT2. I have already installed Win10 on mine but without graphics driver it's horribly slow of cource. Hoping the driver will be released soon so I can fully use Win10 on...

    What do you think of the Windows 10 SDK Preview?

    After taking a deeper look at the new samples for Windows 10, I have to revert my previous answer: It looks like Microsoft has added quite a big amount of new features and APIs, besides the "Universal Apps" stuff. Surprisingly, they did not talk about many of these new APIs at all, not even...

    What do you think of the Windows 10 SDK Preview?

    To be honest, as a PC developer I am rather disappointed by the current SDK preview. I have been hoping for some cool new features and APIs. Especially, I was hoping for interactive tiles, which looked totally awesome in the MS demo videos and would have really added a "wow" factor to Windows...

    Cross-OS Development

    I do not agree. WinRT is almost a direct clone of Sliverlight (most classes were directly re-used, only new namespace), but with a lot of improvements and additions. Especially the animations are much smoother thanks to "independent animations" which were not possible with Silverlight. List and...

    Admob for Windows Phone and Memory Leak

    I think google is not solving this on this on purpose. The problems are obvious and a lot of apps are affected. It really can't be that hard to download an image from a web server and show it, without causing memory leaks and slowdowns. Google is not interested in helping the WP platform, so...

    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Oh really, so many multi artist albums? For me it's < 10 probably. Well, as I said, I do already regret that I did not support this right from the start. Probably it will come at some point. Xamarin is very expensive, at least if you want VS integration. So it's currently not an option for me...

    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Hi Pablo, yes, the player currently only supports one artist per album. It is a fixed 1:1 mapping, for simplicity and performance. Only very few albums are affected by this, so when I designed the database, I considered this to be a good compromise between performance and functionality. Maybe I...

    [WIN8] [APP] music | mode - the fast innovative music player app for windows 8

    Thanks for the hint! How strange. I have no clue why I have removed it. :D On tracks and playlist entries it is still there, but on the albums it is missing suddenly. Well, gonna add it back for the next verison! About the "enqueue after album", I am not so sure. It would make the behavior...

    Possible Revolution by MS, A new flagship.

    I do not agree. Apple has put a lot of work into their latest OS to help with power efficiency, and these tricks have nothing to do with the specific hardware. They were more efficient than Windows before, and with OSX Maverick they made one more huge step forward, adding ~30% more battery...

    [Request] Devs to Pickup Abandoned Game

    Have you tried to contact the developers of that game? I mean, you can't just pick up someone else's project ;-) The app really seems to be quite popular. Even if the devs are not woking on it anymore, I doubt that they are willing to give it up completely (and with it the money it probably...
