mancode20 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 So it's ok to install ontop even if I wasn't using the last officially released beta? I was using that pre version. Build 11.0.5358.4826, and I think the officially released one was 4827. I doubt it makes a difference but just checking.

Simon Veteran Posted August 31, 2006 Veteran Share Posted August 31, 2006 WMP11 beta 1 (left) & beta 2 (right): beta 2: New icon look: Thank God they got rid of the black line in the tabs! The lighter color fits in much better and doesn't scream "We screwed up coding the tabs!". From the original screenshots, before beta 1, I thought the line was a glitch, but then I tried it...

Build 11.0.5358.4826, and I think the officially released one was 4827. I doubt it makes a difference but just checking. alot of people say to uninstall the other one before installing this one to get alot better reports out of it... But i only went ahead and install overtop... So yeah it's pretty much ok to do so...

Yagi Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Does anyone know if XPlay 2 will work with this beta? I love that program since I can sync my ipod through windows media player so Im not going to install this if it messes that up at all.

Bawx Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Did anyone notice if they go to a site that plays videos (esportsea.com premium anyway) the video window is now WMP11. Even when I had WMP11, it was still the old Version 10 look, now it finally changed. http://img333.imageshack.us/img333/5135/untitledzl2.jpg Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/491664-windows-media-player-11-beta-2/page/2/#findComment-587838345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
