Problem with WMP 11

~ January 27, 2007 at 15:56 by Funkafonik (Views: 338)

I've been noticing since the new MyStrands was installed that almost everytime I close WMP11, it doesn't fully close and stays "on" (as it still appears in the Task Manager Processes). If I then re-start WMP, it loads super quick, confirming that it hadn't closed as wanted. To fully close it, I gotta shut it down via Task Manager. As a result, when I restart WMP, it turned off all the plug-ins and I have to click them all on.... and I have to do this almost everyday.

Thought I'd let you guys know.

Hi Funkafonik,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you.

We've seen this behavior with iTunes, but not previously with WMP. It IS a pain! I talked with one of our developers, and he suggested:

Exit MyStrands (from the System Tray) BEFORE closing WMP. After MyStrands shuts down, then close down WMP.

Thanks for letting us know about the WMP problem. We're looking into a better overall solution--I'll keep you posted.

Well after playing around more, I've noticed that if I turn on WMP and MyStrands and then click off WMP (before MyStrands) without having played a single song, it closes both apps no problems. But if I play something, that's when the problem lies.... even if I close MyStrands before WMP, if one song has been played, it'll make WMP "hang" on.

Hi Funkafonik,

Which OS are you running? I've tried reproducing this on XP SP2, but I can't.

Thanks,
Dan
