Excellent :) :tu:

Re: WMP 11 released
 

I hope this works better than the beta, thanks for the heads up :tu:

Smithers, if this person is an employee of the plant, fire him at once! :D

Don't worry, Mr. Burns, I rounded up our less gifted employees and led them into the basement. ;)

Re: WMP 11 released
 

whats the difference between beta 2 and the final release? Other than its final?

Re: WMP 11 released
 

I'll do with this as I did with IE7 and install it on NOT my main machine first. Hopefully it won't make me go "what a load of old...", as with IE7.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

well got it on my normal machine and it works alright.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

It's OK. I've been using the beta for so long, i hardly remember WMP 10 now.

IE7 however...

Re: WMP 11 released
 

yeah nffc I share the same feeling... IE 7 is NOT coming on my system as long as I can help it. LONG LIVE FireFox 2.0 and Opera 9 :D

Re: WMP 11 released
 

Yeah, it certainly doesn't look too bad. Just about to take the plunge. I can't deal with IE7. It's just the worst interface going.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

IE7: I have it but i never use it. Only for sites when I'm testing the pages in another browser to see if they work :)

WMP 11 is great though, only problem is they seem to have got rid of the drop down for the music library so you have to use the Library tab and scroll down. Which, given the amount of music i have, is quite annoying.

"no updates are available" says the dialogue box :/

Re: WMP 11 released
 

MS's normal recommendation when you install a final product and have been using betas is that you uninstall the beta, then install the final product. It may be that they deliberately haven't put it on the server that the update check looks at for this reason.

You'll need to go to the site Paul linked to to download.

Agh :mad:


I tried out the streaming function of WMP11, streaming a video to my XBox 360.

It worked well, the PC & 360 could see each other, & the video streamed perfectly.


But then afterwards WMP11 decided to corrupt its Library :rolleyes:

And every time I run WMP11 again & try & rebuild the Library, it hangs :rolleyes:

Re: WMP 11 released
 

I just need Microsoft to update the Enterprise Deployment Pack, so I can build a nice, automatic installer for work.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

Cheers, I'll give that a try :tu:

Re: WMP 11 released
 

Does anyone know how to hide the "Now Playing" "Library" "Rip" etc tab bar?

I don't use the other functions and its wasting space on my laptop when watching movies.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

Alt+Enter fullscreens whatever you're doing - as in other media players.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

no i mean in window mode.

Re: WMP 11 released
 

It's not perfect, but try pressing CTRL+2 to go to "Skin Mode".

Re: WMP 11 released
 

Guess it will have to do for now. WMP10 let you hide it, odd they would change that.
