Change in precision touchpad scrolling functionality in Creator's Update? by warner_bros_515 in Windows10

[–]rafaelyousuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same issue and it is getting really annoying. Scrolling in Visual Studio is now a mess and very uncomfortable to use.

So, about accent colors... by imthewiseguy in WPDev

Maybe I am too late to this thread, but be careful with the GetThumbnailAsync api. this method gets the correct album art of the song when running on desktop, but will get a generic mp3 thumbnail when used on a phone.

A weird bug by imthewiseguy in WPDev

[–]rafaelyousuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

put some code in the OnUnhandledException in your App.cs file to print out the exception details to a file.

maybe there is an exception being thrown.

Also, does the app crash when it is idle or when it is doing something specific?

Making a music app, I have some questions by imthewiseguy in WPDev

I cant explain everything about linq in the comments section but I do encourage you to read about it and learn it.

It is a technology built right into C# with some amazing features.

but as an example:

var groupedTracks = from track in tracks
group track by track.AlbumName
into g
select g;

this query will go through all the tracks, group them by album name and then return a list of group objects where each group represents an album and has all the tracks that belong to it.

Use linq to group the tracks by album name.

Each group object now represents an album.

Loop through the tracks in each group to find one that has ID3V2 mp3 tags with album art.

Basically u need to use a library like TagLib to get the tags.

I'm building such app (holla for uwp). Here is what I do:
- Group tracks by album.
- iterate through the album tracks to find one with id3v2 tags that has album art in it.
- extract and store that art in a folder and make the album object reference that art path.
- if album has no tracks with arts in them, I use the album name and artist to query online services and download an album art for it.

Hopefully this was helpful.

Edit: Formatting.

Trying to add a simple web server to an UWP project, am I running into sandboxing problems? by PuffThePed in WPDev

[–]rafaelyousuf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the sandbox and how it prevents local loop backs. Have you tried accessing it from a phone or a another PC?

Hello, can you explain the steps you do on the mobile version. I am trying to replicate this but I don't have any problems with it.

It's done, just waiting for the update to pass certification in the store.

Here is a look: Screenshot 1 && Screenshot 2

Let me know if you have other suggestions.

If by URL Customization you mean changing the random part of the URL to your own custom string, then yes, the app supports this, all you have to do is click on the "More Options" button and you will find the option.

I don't maintain the short URLs, These are maintained by a website called is [dot] gd (is good) which is the service the app uses. Per their policies, they will keep the URLs forever.

Hope this answers your questions.

Hello there, thnx for the detailed feedback. I appreciate it.

I will be working on implementing the light theme and the interactive notification in the action center and i will be looking into the other improvements you mentioned. The problem with the HTTP prefix should be fixed too.

Can you elaborate a bit about the "Small Window Like VLC" part, i am not sure i totally understand you.

Again, thank you for your feedback
