Problem: GOM Player wont play DTS audio through SPDIF

Problem: Gom player hangs up/doesnt make a correct audio pass trough if you choose a DTS audio stream

Solution1: There seems to be a problem with the DTS Passtrough if you select SPDIF in the audio-preferences. If you want to play DTS sound, youll have to choose stereo output. For some reason DTS passtrough works on this setting. For AC3 Sound youll have to set it up to SPDIF again.

(GOM Player Audio-Preferences)


Solution2: Download and install AC3 Filter (LINK). Open "AC3 filter config":

Set the parameters as seen above and restart GOM player..

Ps: After so many hits on this post, I have to say that I'm not an expert on this case. Just sharing what worked for me. Didnt work out for you? Have another idea? Feel free to comment please!

Problem: Nokia Player does not start/refresh the Music Library/Cant select song as ringtone

Problem: The Nokia Player opens up, but you cant see any symbols and cant refresh the music library. OR You cant select a song as a ring or alarm tone.
Solution:
Deleting the created music library actually seems to be the solution for various problems. Here is how you do it:

1. The File System Structure may be damaged (which was the cause in my case) and you'll have to run scandisk (Error-checking) on your flash drive your music is in. After that, try running the player again.
2. Go into the folder /Private (its a hidden folder in the root of the flash drive) and you will see several directories like "101f8857", "20001f63".. in it. Find the one that has a directory named "Cache" in it and delete the folder.. This will delete the music library the player has created before and the nokia player should be able to refresh after that.

C# Coding: Errors and Solutions

These are just some small Problems and their solutions i encountered so far in C#:

• Situation: Creating a C# Console Application
• Error Message [English]: "The type or namespace name
  'Windows' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an
  assembly reference?)"
• Error Message [German]: "Der Typ oder Namespacename 'Windows' ist in der Klasse oder dem Namespace 'System' nicht vorhanden (fehlt ein Assemblyverweis?)"
  
• Solution: You need to add the file "System.Windows.Forms.dll" as a reference to your project (Right click on references -> Add Reference -> .net tab)
  

Buying a Notebook - Some simple but important Criteria

Simple but important things for a long term usage:

• It has a HDD Light: You can see if the HDD is busy or not
• The Speakers are NOT at the Bottom
• Memory Cards go completely in: If you want to leave it in all the time, its important that half of it doesnt stick out
• The Battery doesnt stick out of the Case like (Sideview):
  
• There is a LED Light that turns OFF when the Battery is fully loaded
• You can open it up without needing to hold the bottom part down
• The Power Adaptor is not too big (see my Lenovo Review)

Ps: Technology is GREAT, users are bitchy ;)

Got my new Lenovo S10-2..

After using a Dell mini for 1,5 Years i finally switched to an IBM Lenovo S10-2..

First off, it really amazes me how it is possible to "compress" a regular PC into something this small and silend and also increase its efficiency in terms of energy. I really appreciate what those guys are doing up there, but when it comes to little details that could have been better, these are my dislikes about the Lenovo S10-2:

-A Regular SD Card wont go completely in. This is annoying if you want to use a memory card for your netbook and constantly leave it in the card reader slot. Using a removable storage device is convenient if for example you want to copy some files on your netbook but dont want to turn it on. in this case you just pull out its memory card and copy your files on it.

-The Speakers are at the Bottom. Which is bad for high frequency sounds. For example Sounds like Cymbals/Hi-Hats in a song or quiet/whispering conversations in a movie are slightly "muted down" this way. Maybe this one doesnt seem that dramatic, but it really makes a difference!

-The Power Supply/Adapter is way too big. Im sure they could have made those smaller.

Bioshock 2

Took me only 3 days to finish Bioshock 2. It was emotional, bounding, realistic and GREAT! Im pretty sure im not the only one who made the final scene cry ^^

Since there are not many pictures of Eleanor, i tought i post this :

It was a strange moment too.. Finally facing her for the first time. Again: GREAT GAME! Play Bioshock 1 first if you still havent.
