Releases: krlvm/MediaFlyout
MediaFlyout v2.2.1
Tested on Windows 10 version 22H2 and Windows 11
Installation instructions
Bugfixes:
- Fixed crash when playing media in application without icon (e.g. when playing video in Windows 11 Photos app)
- Fixed some issues when MediaFlyout could not obtain information about the application playing media
- Fixed crash that occurred when media is missing both thumbnail and application icon (reported problems with Firefox on Windows 11)
The binary size has been reduced by ~4 times (from ~450 KB to ~125 KB) thanks to the removal of bundled prescaled tray icons. However, the size of the archive in assets has increased - starting with this release, a .pdb file with debug symbols is supplied along with the binary.
Some VirusTotal vendors mark the archive as malicious because it contains batch files that can add MediaFlyout to autorun, and the application itself uses System.Diagnostics API to detect media player and retrieve its name and icon.
It is a false positive, you can build the application from sources in Visual Studio 2022.
