I just downloaded this player, and first off I want to say how impressed I am at the quality of this application. It has probably the best-looking installer I've ever seen, and the player itself completely surprised me with its aesthetic and usability. I've recently been trying to download or create a streaming playlist of osu! songs and it's a pain in the ass, so I'm very glad I found this and I plan to use it very often.

It's only because of the respect I have for your application that I took the time to painstakingly locate and record all the small problems I found with it. These are all minor aesthetic problems that may very well not be worth taking the time to fix; I don't know how the visual face of applications are developed and it might be that these are just artifacts of an imperfect design framework. Since these are visual issues, I edited a screenshot of the application to help illustrate the aspects of this program that I personally found imperfect. Here they are, roughly in order of significance:


1. The N/DT/NC/HT indicator is flush with the background image window.
2. The gap between the name of the song and the title bar is a bit too small.
3. The Edge icon is a bit too large, causing it to sit uncomfortably close to the background window.
4. On the right side of the name/artist row, the bottom border seems to extend one pixel out beyond the side border.
5. The heart icon on the right (not sure what this does?) is slightly closer to the top of the window than the nav buttons on the left (not identified in image).
6. On the title bar, the font size of EDGE PLAYER seems to be a touch larger than the menu names to the left of it.
7. On the top of the search bar, the mottled dark texture extends one pixel into the search bar before it is replaced by the flat dark texture.
8. The border between textures at the top of the songs window seems undefined without a dividing bar or more clear color difference.
(After switching styles around, I realized that the previous two points were intentional, and only express themselves in the dark/orange theme because the color difference between textures is so slight; maybe consider differentiating them a little or using the same texture for both.
9. Lastly, an actual feature suggestion: it would be nice if the player detected and did not import duplicates from the song folder.

Once again, thank you for the great work you've put into this application, and I present these points only in the hope that they are useful in future development, not to criticize your work.
First of all, thank you VERY much that you've taken your time to point out all these visual bugs, of course they are worth fixing it ;) Some of these bugs came with the new framework I am using, but I'll try to fix them. To your suggestion: Good idea, I'll add this ASAP :D
Anyway, thanks to people like you the player became what he is today.

Thanks for your app, i have a petition, what do you think to use also tags for searching, for example like osu, i want to search songs played by Naruto Openings, you could read each .osu beatmap file and get those tags and make a relation with the artist

Great idea! I'll try to add this feature in the next update ;)

I seem to be stuck with an update loop with the 2.6.1 installer, will try re-installing fixed

I ran into some kind of bug where the player just endlessly skips songs without playing any. Quitting and re-opening seem to be the only solution for now. However, I don't know the cause yet. If I can find a way to reproduce this bug, I'll tell you.

I recently discovered this bug too, the reason is that the player uses a non-existent audio output. Will be fixed with the next update.

By the way, has anyone of you ever used the fullscreen feature? Vote here: https://goo.gl/2u9PWk (This poll will end on 08.12. at 1pm!)
The fullscreen will be removed if no one votes!

Edge Player re: BETA 2.8.3.2 is out!
  1. Changed (Remote): Renamed "Search on youtube" to "Reverse Youtube search"
  2. Fixed: Fixed settings (most of the settings did nothing)
  3. Fixed: Reset settings is working again
  4. Fixed: The widget stays disabled now instead of reappearing after opening and closing the player
  5. Fixed: If an update was found and you pressed "Yes", nothing happened
  6. Re-enabled: Equalizer
  7. Re-enabled: SongInfo Dialog
  8. Re-enabled: Reverse youtube search
Also, Edge Player Remote 1.2 is out!
  1. Fixed: The app consumed a massive amount of RAM (for the more curious: RecyclerView)
  2. Re-enabled: Search bar (with the same features as in the player)
Btw: The next release contains a new theme! It was requested long ago, I am speaking of an osu theme:

I tried to make a playlist and add songs to it on 2.6.1 and 2.8.3, but it wouldn't let me add a song to the playlist. So, i tried to make a new playlist instead, but that didn't work too. Doed anyone know how to fix this problem?
Btw it would be better if searching in the search bar would also search for the artists..
Edit: I found out that rarely one song is successfully added, and probably it only works when i first start it for some reason. Maybe because of bad laptop????? (tech noob)

No searching by beatmap tags :C ?

As for now I am only adding smaller features to the player, while also re-enabling every other feature. Don't worry, searching by beatmap tags is on my todo list ;)

alrighty! :D

A minor bug that causes Edge to crash. This happens the widget is closed by the user by some means without closing it through the main app (like alt-tab and close it from there). When the main app is clicked on and then clicked out off again, it crashes. I know this is no major bug as it's not what a normal person would do but it's always better to fix than don't :)

keep up the good work

Yo!

My edge player told me I was able to upadte it ( to 2.3.0).
When I updated it I got an error, it couldn't be installed because the files already existed.

Initializing...Done!
Downloading file(s)...Done!
Installing updates...
Can't update! Exception: Kan geen bestand maken dat al bestaat.

-------------------------------------------------------------
The exception has beend copied to your clipboard. Please submit this error to the publisher on the website! t/231747&start=0


I have tried downloading the latest installer (at the time 2.9.3) , using the update fuction did not solve the issue.

Now I've removed edge player and installed version 2.9.3
But, everytime on startup I get notified of being able to update to 2.9.30
Installing the update results in the same error pasted above.


I'm not sure if this is happening to anyone else, I simply don't seem to get rid of the update messages.

I've already noticed this bug and fixed it, but there were some other features that must've been completed. The next update will come in a few days, just ignore this message for now ;)

Hmm if I use the Player while a tablet is plugged in it doesn't crash. What tablet are you using and when exactly does the application crash?

1. Crashes immediately when a tablet is plugged in while the player is running. Doesn't matter if it's playing anything or not.
2. Crashes upon any input(Clicking on buttons, even the minimize and close are not safe) if a tablet is already plugged before the launching the player.
I'm starting to wonder if this is not the application's problem, but Windows' acting up on me.

Just tried to crash the player with my tablet (Bamboo Pen CTL-470), but everything works. Did you try to install .NET Framework 4.5 or reinstalling/updating your tablet drivers?
Ringosham
I tried all of them and it doesn't work, including downgrading the driver. However, I found that this is either the driver or a Windows issue. Because it happened on all WPF applications. (I can't use Visual Studio while plugging a tablet. Thanks Microsoft)
