#FastPlay

@MewProjects I'm not seeing an option to assign #FastPlay to play mp3 files. I looked in Windows settings as well as in the dialog which comes up when assigning a filetype to an app for the first time. As noted in an earlier post, I don't get the option for, "always" when I choose your app in the list. Any idea as to why & how to fix it, especially, now that you say that feature has been implemented?

@MewProjects i have a #FeatureRequest regarding #FastPlay. I'd love to see the ability to use it as my default media player on #Windows. I love using it on the mac. Is this something you'd be willing to implement?

We know everyone will definitely celebrate @FastSM but #fastPlay? It's an accident, a creation entirely for personal use, yet become very popular and long weighted in the #blind community. LlKudos @Bri for sharing even smallest invention at that point of time, littlest project can grow big once it finds its community. fwoof.space/@Bri/1159467639093

In #FastPlay on the mac, how do I navigate to the most recent bookmark I made or bring up a list so I can jump between them?

@MewProjects @munchkinbear When I play the instructions for @ACBNational community events, the file loops, after reaching the end the first time. I’m not seeing a setting to modify this behaviour.
Any hints?
Also, I love #FastPlay so much that I set it as my default media player for mp3 files! :)
Keep up the great work!

@Bri Now #FastPlay keeps prompting me to "choose an app" when I've already used it to open & play a file successfully earlier. Why is this happening & how can I fix it? I wish I could use this as my default media player. It's amazing! Keep up the great work!

@DavidGoldfield @serrebi Is this the same person who makes @FastSM & #FastPlay?

Any #FastPlay users here? I can't get mine to open & may wind up completely reinstalling Windows this weekend, as my pc completely shutdown on me, during 2 different zoom meetings, without warning. 1 was a hosting gig for @ACBNational & the other was last night, when some friends were trying to help me diagnose an issue between zoom & the audio I was attempting to screen share. i have a zoom this coming Tuesday, so if I'm going to reinstall, it'll need to be prior to then.

Anyone else having trouble playing youtube videos with #FastPlay? I have tried multiple versions of ytdlp in multiple locations and I always get an error. It doesn't matter if I search for a video or paste the url directly.

The question I am going to answer for you is can you play the audio of an MP4 video file in #FastPlay?

@FastSM Good morning,
I'm having issues with #FastPlay.
Who do I contact?

Checking in to ask if anyone knows how to resolve a "failed to get stream URL" when trying to play audio from YouTube videos in #FastPlay? I have specified the correct path to yt-dlp and added my YouTube API key in settings.

Just tried #FastPlay. Wow, just wow! I'd like some more enhancements, but it seems to be very, very decent. At least, for a nitpicky guy like me who basically doesn't like anything except for Winamp and 1by1, FastPlay is definitely a thing to keep. Thanks so much @Bri! And special kudos for not using Python this time 😜
As every C++-based solution it's painful to build, but it's native which is a huge plus for me.

@Bri So tell me to get lost it #FastPlay can do this already, but I’m wondering if I could use this to play audio elements in on my show? I use Farrago on the Mac which is fine but I can’t get it announce how long an item has left to play and I know your app can do this. However I’d ideally like to be able to line up a playlist of items, then play them one by one but not continuously - so I hit a hotkey to start item 1, then it plays and then pauses, then i hit said hotkey and it plays item 2. Am I hoping for too much here??
