5. Fixed: Theater View did not nicely handle failures to start Direct3D.
6. Changed: Revised how the playing display window is hidden and shown to possibly help with Aero issue when entering Theater View from 1080i HDTV playback.

Library Sync is a excellent feature, thanks!

little bug - after doubleclick for fullscreen, mouse cursor not hide, hide only after additional movement

I agree... suggestion: allow this to be scheduled from within MC

Changed: Videos used in Theater View skins will loop playback.

Love the video option here, but maybe the loop should be optional? (If its not already)

I've noticed that semicolon delimited fields seems to have a bug when you have 2 names in it. They should look like this in the tag edit window...

but some times they look like this...after the semicolon there is a space

Editing semicolon delimited fields in files that hasn't been imported has a small bug. New data (data not in the database) will not show in the tag editing window if you click on the field to edit.

"The Art Of Noise" and "Max Headroom" are already in MC's database but "Artist Test" is new. If I click it to edit it it looks like this...

misspell "click to swith to repeat current item"... And what about Russian language? Define more exactly e-mail, please. I can send my translation in a couple of days.

I don't know if this is because I have recently upgraded to Vista or upgraded to 12.0.267, but I seem to have lost mouse scroll wheel functionality in standard view. It seems to work fine in theatre view though..

It would be good if the OSD for video respected the overscan setting for Theater View. The bottom gets cut off when I bring it up on my display.

benn600 · « **Reply #9 on:** June 26, 2007, 11:48:16 am »

Very pleased with the new theater view mode. I look forward to each and every new release of the Obsidian theater view skin....better and better.

I have mentioned this before, but it is becoming increasingly important to me:
When I import a PDF file to MC, MC does not read the PDF tags. Every PDF file I produce contains at least three tags: author, subject and title. These are standard PDF tags, and MC should read them.
It would also be nice if MC was able to search within PDF files, and maybe even produce a thumbnail of the first page.
Thanks,
Rasmus

Not sure if this is a new bug, but it's one I just noticed with the new upgrade.

In smartlists which use the [Playlists] rule, any adjustment to the modify results section causes the smartlist to lose track of the playlists it's using. The smartlist just empties out, forcing you to go back in and recheck the playlists.

The Library Sync tool is fantastic

However, it's giving me a lot of problems with cover art.
After syncing my old XP machine (which I now keep mainly as backup) to my Vista machine, most of the cover art either gets placed on the wrong album (I'll have a few albums in a row all showing the same picture), severely corrupted, or just disappears altogether. This is happening both with new files and files that were already on the XP machine. It's usually only the first track of each album that's affected.

Updating Library from Tags sometimes sets the cover art right again...and sometimes doesn't, sometimes changing it to another wrong image...have tried doing this multiple times to the same album and repeatedly got different pictures coming up, until finally the correct one appears.

Is this just my machine being weird ?

Weird ripping problem:

MC crashes fairly randomly under Vista (as do other apps, when suddenly Vista decides the app's not responding and kills it, even though it is still working!)

After it crashed in the middle of ripping a CD, I decided I'd start it ripping from track 6, where it had got to...
and MC said "there are no tracks to rip". It was fine when I just told it to rip ALL of the tracks!

Seems it's not limited to just 2 names. I've run accross this happening with more names.

I tried to sync my iPod (60gb video) and it crashed, tried again, crashed MC again.

Looked at the list of songs it wants to sync and noticed SEVERAL duplicates. how do I have duplicates? I looked closer, and yep, sure enough a few thousand songs are listed 2 or even 3 times. They appear to be exactly the same, same file name, everything the same; duplicates.

How is this even possible. Better yet, how can I eliminate them without manually looking for duplicates. yes, I have a smartlist to find them, but I'd still have to select every other, or more songs. Very tedious.

I'm guessing this is a bug of some sort that caused this.

Anyone got any fast clean up ideas?

This is on purpose. If the list fits on one line, it will only use one line.

1. Enable Auto-Rip and DVD Autoplay = Rip: MC encounters invalid argument. Started rip of DVD and it seemed to work okay although really slow.

2. Scrolling down in TheaterView results with this (the 45rpm labels are the Jamaican genre; you can see it's a bit misaligned due to the overlap):

3. A little tree redraw problem:

Theater View is not obeying the View Scheme rules to:

1. Display no text under Tiles

2. No sorting rules are applied in Theater View.

3. With smallest text size (Arial Narrow) I get more thumbs in Theater View but they are still rather small, viewed from 8ft. on a 32" LCD TV. Please let us control Tile size in Theater View!

I have to admit I really don't get the sorting in Theater View - it seems to just be totally different from 'normal' mode, almost random at times (the 'albums'/tiles/whatever they're called seem to ALWAYS be sorted in alphabetical order, but the tracks seem to vary in the order they appear in...)

The screengrab option is gone for creating quick cover art for videos (?). I just reloaded my whole OS, so maybe I missed something when I reconfigured...

The Screen Grab feature has not changed. Play a video file and right-click the display for accessing the Screen Grab commands. You can also access the commands in the Player > Display Options menu during video playback.

I've installed the MC 12.0.267 trial version, and when trying File->Library->Find , I receive a 'Failed to find local media server' then a 'Error Loading Library' ->'Media Center failed to load the library "Search for Library Servers" and will attempt to load the previously selected library'. I have multiple upnp servers running on my local network (tversity & WMP11 [Windows media connect based]), didn't know if this was just looking for other MC12 libraries or any upnp server. Any clue?
