Thank you. When using AHI as output device I always get the error "Trouble with the player group". I have copied the new .group file too, of course.

It would be nice to be able to change the interface’s display font size to something larger than 8 point…
Great to see it being updated. |

Hello there;
There may be a bug in this version, because when I select the path of the modules to load (quite a long list, but it worked perfectly even in the old version), it takes a huge time to load (which never happened) and then , a guru meditation. Tried running Hippo outside Workbench, but same result. This time it loads the list of modules (after a long time) and the module is empty, but the program seems to detect the modules, since it tries to load them, but shows an error every time. Another problem is the Favorite modules implementation, which does not work. Since always, when you press the right button, you minimize the window, so there is no possible way to mark any module as favorite. Hope this can be fixed as it is my main reason for updating :-) Personally, I would feel very comfortable if pressing the right button did not minimize anything and did something more useful for the program. Another possible features would be: -Allow the tracker window to be larger, as for tracker musicians like me it would help to see important information :-) -Right-clicking on a module in the list of modules might be enough to play it, without having to select the module and click Play or Enter. Thanks for keeping the program updated! It's my best Amiga player! Last edited by Zoltar3.1; 03 September 2021 at 13:29. |

I agree that the RMB window minimizing feature is very silly and should be removed. Quote:
- You could maybe enable double clicking in prefs, so you can double click to play. |

I think this error message should not be related to AHI settings at all |

There's now a debug version of v2.47 available here:
https://github.com/koobo/HippoPlayer...dist/HiP-debug It has a debug log window that displays a lot of messages. It might help in pinpointing problems mentioned in this thread. |

This is even more strange! My modules are in DH1: but the program starts scanning my DH0! :-o After a few seconds it begins scanning the directory in DH1:... I see the debugging process moving too fast, but I recognize my modules. After 4 or 5 seconds, strange simbols appear in the debugging window... When the process stops, there's no way to scroll up to see the previous messages. Could the fact that its a directory as a HardDrive instead of an HDF have something to do with this error? Because of this, some of the disk repair utilities I used in the past don't work anymore, but it makes no sense today. |

Besides that, when I open the Hip.debug program, I try to copy the content of the window to paste it in a word processor (Golded, Finalword, etc...) and only copies the first letter... there are no export optios, so I don't know how to copy it (in case I find the way to avoid the guru) I think the program would work OK if it didn't insist on checking DH0... |

The scanning finishes succesfully outside my HD workbench but, again, the list is empty, though it detects the modules, as it's trying to play them one by one.
I try the copy the debugging window content (CTRL+C,ALT+C...) and paste it elsewhere... But only copies the firts selected character. |
