Feedback app is also a joke. Obviously, no one reads them as this has been a problem for months and months
Windows 11 New Media Player
Hello!
I used Groove Music.
Today, I received the new Media Player which replaced Groove Music.
It correctly found my music and videos as I have included them in the Libraries.
Unfortunately, it is buggy.
For instance, when I click on Artists, it says that it could not find any content.
Also, it stucks when I click on an artist or album
Do you have similar issues?
Should I just wait a little bit, maybe they are going to provide updates and fixes?
I have tried resetting the app 2 times, but still the same problems.
EDIT [19.5.2022]: There was some improvements in my experience with Media Player.
Some day ago, the Media Player started anew. FIrst, it scanned again from scratch my Music library.
For 5-10 minutes, it used a lot of CPU and RAM. Then when it was done, I could see the Artists and it did not say that it couldnt find any music.
But still it is not completely stable. Very often, when I click on an Album or Artist, it freezes or crashes.
So, still I am anxiously waiting if it will get stable in the future.
But for now, I am happy that I can listen to music again.
DId this update also happen to you?
EDIT [11.9.2022]: Overall, my experience with Media Player has improved a lot.
Now, I can play all my music.
There are now 3 issues remaining as I can see them at least:
- Often, when I click to play an album, it freezes. I have to close and restart the app, and then I can play the same album. The same album appears when I click on the Home link.
- I also noticed this error: The run times of albums and others, are wrong! They do not show the actual value as I inspected them.
- Unfortunately, and this has not been addresses to me so far, I do not have Artists art. Wherever there is an artist, it just shows nothing. In Groove Music, I used to have those and they were beautiful.

Feedback hub is a joke! There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of upvotes for dozens of people reporting this problem that has existed for MONTHS and MONTHS.
Do you really expect me to believe that anyone at MS reads those? How stupid do you think we are?

Plus it seems to have all the codecs Windows has been dropping.
And it is free.
