It's not perfect! There are, and will be issues, but please report issues and make requests using GitHub, here:Īdded 'Quick Access' toolbar with configuration option defaulted to 'On' (Note: no ability to control visibility yet!)Īdded 'Add Folder' button to allow ability to quickly add folder media pathsĪdded 'Play CD' button for each CD/DVD device to allow ability of playback via CD (enabled when CD-audio detected)įixed 'Stop playback on close' doesn't resume playback when adding a new media pathįixed 'Track Title' not consuming entire space on right of 'Play' buttonįixed Unhandled exception when audio file contains invalid tag information during album-art image retrievalĪdded 'Stop playback on close' option, to stop media playback when the Media Player toolwindow closesįixed 'Visual Studio' layout change not disposing visualization layer when closing player controlįixed bug 'Visual Studio Media Player may fail to appear after closing and re-opening'Ĭhanged 'locking' process so that closing the toolwindow clears the locking file (when Stop playback on close is enabled)

After the running instance is closed (Visual Studio instance is closed), when re-opened playback will resume from where it left off. Configuration is held outside of Visual Studio Settings and therefore SHARED (stored in your APPDATA folder) between Visual Studio versions. The extension is a 'Single Use' extension, meaning that the tool window will only activate in ONE instance of Visual Studio (who in their right mind would want multiple players running at the same time?). Access to the WinAMP Visual Studio has NOT been restricted, so you can even create new modules, or edit existing ones! Modules can be installed by simply copying them into the Extension's 'plugins\avs' folder. The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that 'Toumas: AVS Gone Bad' has been removed due to the explicit nature of the text content. (It's taken many years to find the ones that cause AVS to crash on later version of Windows!). The 'best' AVS Studio modules are included which support Windows 7 and above without crashing. Visualization support is provided through the BASSVIS plugin, and in version 1.0 is limited to the WinAMP AVS Studio. NETs Webforms guru Jeff Fritz the Visual Studio Media Player Extension is, at this time, an integrated Audio Player (yes, right now the 'Media' part of the name is mis-leading but is something that we aim to change over the course of the development of this extension).īased on the awesome BASS library by Ian Luck ( ), it can play all major audio files and online streams too (through PLS and M3U support).
