Beta 2.5 : Embedded Player?

[oyvindo]

I found (to my surprise) that a new player named "Embedded Player" showed up in the list of available players in the latest 2.5Beta, but selecting it did nothing (?)
Is this just a the beginning of a coming feature, not yet finished, or.... ?

It's complete, but it uses the Windows Media Player as it's engine, so if you de-installed that, that could be why it's doing nothing.
I may need to add some better detection of whether WMP is installed before I offer Embedded Player as an option.

NB. It was in the 2.5.0 BETA release details:

Embedded player support - based on Windows Media Player engine.
- for FLAC support install the codecs at http://xiph.org/dshow/downloads/

I run Muso on a standard Windows 10 PC and I have not de-installed WMP, but all I get when I select the "Embedded Player" is this:

Playing an album or a song does nothing.... It doesn't even fill the Que....

What filetype?

[oyvindo]

MP3 (I only use the MP3 file format for my entire library)

That's odd - will try that later on W10.

Works fine on my W10 machine.

Well, do you have any idea what I could be looking for?
WMP is v12. I tried to launch it and have it running in parallel with Muso, but that didn't make any difference.
Using WMP on its own to play songs works just fine.

Could be that your file paths are wrong if you've been using squeezeboxes exclusively til now, check your Options -> Music Sources / Squeezebox Server paths.

Well, you tell me
Here's my setting page (can you tell if it's wrong?)
