Music Player Rework (1 Viewer)

Yeah 4 is maybe a little long

Hmm, tough one. For one I hate hardcoded values - at the same time 4 secs is too long while it is a good value for x-fading. So my vote would be with 2 secs.

My 5 cents would be: stop means stop, this is a not slowing down car.

My 5 cents would be: stop means stop, this is a not slowing down car.

For that there is still the option of unticking the "Fade out on Stop" check box

The problem is that this is NOT a bug fix and we have closed the merge window the day before yesterday.
So this can't be done before 1.5.0, if i follow the rules strictly.

For a given Definition of bug, no. If a bug also includes misleading the user to believe the System is not working, this might be a bug...

misleading the user to believe the System is not working

but if user configured his system to do fadeout? as @hwahrmann already said, this is an option that can be enabled/disabled

I have reently ijstalled Scythe42's latest build and if I understand correctlty this build contains the latest GIT master and thus also contains the music player rework/ I've noticed a few odd things in the music player though:

- 24/96 and DTS spdif passthrough only works with ASIO. Bass player will pass through 24/96 but DTS results in noise. This indicates that there is still some re-sampling going on somewhere. WASAPI does not work for me. Everything stays silent (M-Audio audiophile PCI interface)
- Skip steps don't work on forward and rewind when using a remote (IrTrans). I tried mapping FWD and REW buttons to F5 and F6 but that also doesn't work. I get a feeling fwd and rew commands coming in through the remote are not handled at all in the music player this build. Is that possible or am I talking rubbish? (F5 and F6 do work)
- I've been having a lot of drop outs. Mediaportal.exe seems to be using a lot of CPU during music playback. I have no idea why (not using visualisations) This was not an issue in 1.3.0. BASS and ASIO Buffer settings all at maximum now, but that doesn't help much. Is there any way I can see what MP is doing that could be consuming so much CPU?

Probably windows. What is the output rate set to for standard windows? What sound card is this (can you fill in system specs)

Logs please

You have enabled this in config?
You need to map the buttons to the actions ACTION_FORWARD / ACTION_MUSIC_FORWARD and ACTION_REWIND / ACTION_MUSIC_REWIND and have the option enabled in config. (these are the defaults for forward and rewind buttons on MCE remote in IRTrans). Do these work when playing videos?

WASAPI exclusive mode wont allow OS to intefere the audio stream at all.
