Hahaha, I don't even need to click that link to know what is behind it. Do you want to destroy your PC ? go ahead ! I tried it (three weeks ago or so, when that thread appeared for the first time (it was deleted the first time)).

No. What this does is completely crazy, but in order to ever understand what I mean you must try it (make a backup first).


No way it can. Maybe I should have made a remark about that in that thread, but actually I don't care. The guy behind it is, say, a kind of commercial for his own product, and I could do that too. But, looking at "The memory player" as he calls it, this is only a thread to the existing one you referred to earlier, and this is IMHO over the back of others. It may be personal that I don't like that.

There is no single one way that XXHighEnd could drive another sound producing kernel because of the way it works. Besides that, think of it : where XX creates an environment for itself (Core Appointment, Priorities) the first it would do is destroy the environment of that "memory player" which it so carefully created for itself. No ... I don't think he ever tried.
Btw, might it be the idea that his player makes the sound of XX work (so, the other way around) ... that would be the very last possible.

On another note, I think what he is doing in the base is right. But also, it is the opposite of what XX presents : the most simple handling for the best sound (anyway that's the idea ). On that matter, please keep in mind that what's happening so far is the provision of tools so we can all find out what's best, later resulting in a "one setting" player (maybe with "tweak" button).
If you look at UnAttended Playback you can see what it is going to lead to : nothing but a wallpaper and only those services running necessary to play sound. You will visually see no difference with what happens today (like all the desktop icons disappearing), but what will be running is near nothing. This "AA memory player" implies similar. But now try and look how it does it. .

This is all by design. The top track is the one currently playing (unless the playlist has finished playing, then the full list as per last time's Quit shows).
The progress bar doesn't move because the player is dead.

Keep in mind that dead = dead = also by design. Thus, the whole surrounding is very odd, and I can then only simulate things. You can see it at quitting the player again after you brought it up during Unattented Playback. It does nothing. Thus, you bring it up to e.g. see where you are with the Playlist and quit again. Or bring it up and press Next because you don't like the track playing. But that Next too is a simulation because the player (user interface) is still as dead as can be. .

Btw I already have some trick in mind to simulate the progressbar at the proper position, without *any* process runinng for it (which is the big trick for SQ).

Not solved yet, but found it ...
Thank you very much Gerard (Leo too).

Currently it won't work for drive C: or X:
(and not with spaces in Share Names, but that's another matter)

If you feel like testing one more thing ...

When it goes wrong, now there is a second message. Please screen copy that ...
Also, please tell me what is the track name that started at it going wrong ...

And might it be related, Gerard, what / why is the strange C:\, TRANCE\... I always see in your screen copies (like the one above) ?

Thanks !

Hiiiiihaaa 

Well, just shoot the pianoplayer. That would be me ... hehe
But I wouldn't know what I have done regadring this ...

Edit : But now I think of it, try to unhide/hide the Desktop Icons once via the normal way (rightclick at the Desktop - Properties). That might help.

Found an "error trap" I forgot !!

Would you be so kind (again) to test below version ? (15:34)
(this one shows/hides the Desktop Icons again)

Note : nothing is solved ... still trying to get "the" error !

Look above to your most bottom error message. I bet you don't have that anymore.
Yes/No/Otherwise, I can't guess that.

But if it's now the same as in the beginning (say, one hour ago) I must give up. Dunno what to do anymore.

Share Name ? the name you assigned to a local drive on the PC which drive you want to be seen over the network on other PC's.
Share = Delen.

Gerard, please ... I am not solving the error here. I WANT TO SEE ERROR MESSAGES.
Like the one before.

So, what's the message(s) with the last ChangeWP.exe (14:55) ?

The last message is something I wanted to see.

Now this one (please !) :

Despite my previous post ... does this one produce an error ?

This one does not hide or show the Desktop Icons. But if it doesn't error it must be something in there.

Side info : the problem (for me) is that an "error trap" won't work out. This by itself is strange.

Thanks for your help !
Peter

Wait a minute ... we also had this one : ChangeWP.exe bug ?? which I never thought about anymore. Gerard, won't this be your situation (spaces in Share Names) ?

The sequence is Vista -> Soundcard.

So if the soundcard tells it's outputting in 16 bits it can do it.
If the software outputs 24 bits, it might be Vista making 16 of it, but the soundcard may do that just the same.

I don't know more about the Terratec than this thread tells about it.
