Dear VK player user!
If you encounter any error or failure, any inexpected behaviour during the use of the VK player, so called "bugs", please submit your bug-report in the comments section of this post to help to increase the player's quality.
If you feel uncomfortable using the player because of some missing features or bad design of the application, please use the comment-section to describe your hint or complain (to change to the comment section, click here).
I will try to improve the player's reliabilty and decrease fatal errors as much as possible. Please keep in mind that this is a totally free project, so it might happen that certain bugs will only slowly be worked on.
Nonetheless I appreciate any bug report and will try my best to fix it.
Thanks!
Examples
If you submit a bug, try to mention in first place, the error(s) encountered (messages popping up, crash popups, ...). In second place please mention as many information as possible, which are, in your eyes, connected with the bugs occurence, the bugs environment, which is, in a first place, your player's version number. And additionally, if you don't mind, the language of your vkontakte account, since lots of bugs have been language specific up to now.
Examples could be:
Thanks for Your help!

Examples could be:
- "I searched for mean man and the player said "Generic HTML error". I searched again and it worked". My version is V1.01 Beta
- "Everytime I open the player since yesterday, it comes up with a popup "exception xyz..." My version is V1.02 Beta
- When I try to load a playlist, song xyz doesn't load My version is V0.99
- Since I changed from German to Russian language, everything is messed up. I always get error "HTTPService could not access". I am not sure about my version, but it's no beta (should be > V1.3).
Thanks for Your help!

Seems there is no internet available for the VK PLayer application. This might be due to a proxy server or, which is more likely, a firewall stopping outgoing traffic.
ReplyDeleteDisable your firewall and try it again, so we can spot the problem. If it's the firewall, add the VK Player to its whitelist.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI am having a problem with the search window. If I try to open it from the player's "search" tab, only the task on the taskbar appears- not the window itself. If I right-click on the task and select maximize, the window will pop up in full scale, I can't resize it or make it more little. If I hit the windows button in the top right corner of the "search" window to make the window smaller, it just vanishes, but the task stays. I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit and I had no problems with the player when I first installed it. I tried to reinstall it, but the problem remains.
Regards,
Egon
PS! Really good program though!
Hello Egon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a known issue. It will be fixed with the next version coming.
There is a workaround to fix it, though:
Locate the _preferences.obj file (which saves the window locations and is, due to a bug, the source of your problem) in:
c:\users\YOURUSERNAME\appdata\roaming\VKPlayer.1238SOMECRAZYNUMBERS1241824
simply delete it and restart the player. Everything should be working again.
(For different systems one may look at the directories listed in http://www.richardleggett.co.uk/blog/index.php/2009/12/15/air-s-file-applicationstoragedirectory-paths
where APP_NAME is VKPlayer.XYZCRAZYNUMBER)
Hope that helps
Installs but fails to run on Ubuntu Maverick 10:10
ReplyDeleteAlso if I try to run the vkontakte.jar
java vkontakte.jar

Could not find the main class: vkontakte.jar. Program will exit.
Seems as if it's trying to start with a wrong main-class. You need to start it with -jar argument via shell from the folder with the extracted files by calling:
ReplyDelete"java -jar vkontakte-backend-server.jar"
If that does not work, please tell me what java version you do have installed.
When I try and log in i get an alert message saying "Could not login: username and/or password are wrong" I have used vk player a million times but when i installed the update this started happening.
