I posted the same issue a couple of weeks ago, with no response. I decided to wait for another version, but the problem is the same. WMA files will not play. (The pop-up shows, but there is no audio, and the program just skips to the next song (with a pop-up again), until it encounters a non-wma file, at which time it reports "something went wrong with playback". If I click on a FLAC file, it works fine. I don't have this problem in version 32 - all files play correctly. Possibly it is a problem generated by the pop-up, which I take it is new in this version. Anyway, I don't think it is my fault. I've been running media center for at least 15 years. Version 33 is of no use to me until this gets fixed.

The WMA fix will be in the next build.

I posted this bug for the previous release too but there was not even an answer
The VST latency still does not seem to work in version 33
Are you planning to fix that please? It works perfectly in version 32
Thank you

[pbpcn7]

The WMA fix will be in the next build.

Thanks.

Good evening, it looks like the "Play Trailer" function doesn´t work properly yet on MC33.
Video starts, but without Audio. It worked fine under MC32.
Tested using the same yt-dlp.exe like under MC32 (newest from github).

Anybody else facing this issue?

[JimH]

For anyone having trouble with video playing only audio, try changing JRVR's Deinterlacing setting to YADIF.

Yup. YouTube moved the goalposts, again. There is no audio.

Thanks a lot for explaining.

Interesting hiccup with the new Now Playing popup with this release ...

I have a tab locked with the "Player" selection, on which I've been using "ET Darkness" for Track Info (though choice may likely be irrelevant).

If I start an album playing (from, say, a Recent Albums tab) and then switch to the Player Tab prior to the expiration time for the Now Playing popup, the view then switches back to that Recent Albums tab when the popup goes away.  Restating, removal of the Now Playing popup seems to switch me back to the tab from which I initiated playback (should I have switched tabs in the standard view).

I verified this behavior a few times before posting.  The Recent Albums tab is just an example; I'll get switched back to whatever tab playback started on. 

[Edit] The (temporary) destination tab doesn't have to be the Player.  I always seem to get switched back to the "playback originating" tab, independent of the current view, when the popup expires.

Not sure if this is a bug or a new feature but it is very annoying: whenever I start playing something through the WDM driver there is a popup modal dialog appearing (see attachment)
This was never the case before v33
Can I ask to remove it please, it is really annoying to see this when playing each track in Tidal and other sources too

Thank you

Right click on it, settings, select "disable" and press ok. Sorted.

Thank you, it solved it
Just out of curiosity: was the WDM driver updated? Or only the settings were reset?

[Awesome Donkey]

No, it's related to the new Now Playing popup feature in MC33. Matt/Craig, maybe the popup shouldn't appear for playback when using with the WDM driver?

This will be the case for the next build.
