Opening an mp3 from Explorer closes and restarts MMW [#21612]

[tbm72]

I have MMW set as the default program to open mp3 files.

Since the last update (3154) whenever I double click an mp3 in an Explorer window, MMW closes and restarts before playing the file. In previous versions it would just open the mp3 straight into the running instance of MMW without closing and restarting.

I have not been able to reproduce. What state is the Player in when this happens? Is it Stopped, Paused or Playing?

Makes no difference whether MM is playing or stopped, if I double click an mp3 file in Explorer it shuts down MM and then relaunches it and starts playing. Only started doing this behaviour since the last release.

Don't know if this is related but even if I kill MM completely and relaunch it, Task Manager still shows multiple instances of it running which doesn't seem right:



If I quit completely and relaunch it shows the same thing in Task Manager.

Rolled MM back to previous version 3153 and it doesn't do it there - all works fine as expected. Double clicking an mp3 launches it in MM without quitting it first (although Task Manager still shows the same multiple entries for MM even though I'm only running 1 instance).

That's normal and many programs do this, different features run in their own instance.

Does going back to 3154 have the issue return?

Yes, bug comes straight back as soon as I install 3154 and MM quits and relaunches when double clicking any mp3.

Yes, this was a regression in 3154 already fixed as

So please wait for 3155 or use 3153 instead
