Media Player 9 Fixed!!!

[dadx2mj]

Anybody having problems with the WMP 9 series should try the new beta release posted on the front news page. It has fixed all the issues (was having many) I was having with the first beta release.

I'm still not going to touch it. Not yet anyways.

I installed the latest build, works fine, bud sadly I don't get the minimized player in the task bar with commands (play, pause,...) anymore, didn't find the option...
Any reason for this ?

If nothing is wrong you first rightclick the taskbar choose toolbars, check Windows Media Player, then start Media Player and minimize it.

Make sure you have the media player quick launch enabled.

Will this release allow you to uninstall it?

I just checked and in the add/remove of control panel Windows Media Player is listed as remove only I have not tried it but it appears it can be uninstalled. I would only load it if you have already loaded the first beta of it and are having problems. If you have not I would wait until the final release is available

Thank you Electronic Punk & Yoyo for the tips ! I didn't enabled this in previous betas, was automatic...

I just tried it and I still couldn't play streaming video from the web... so i went back to WMP 8 (system restore). Let's just wait for the final release.

Hum streaming web video just fine here in fact I have had no problems with it. That being said I have learned my lesson one more time about messing with beta software.
