Media Center 9.1.208 beta available
« on: June 27, 2003, 12:21:12 pm »

Please read VERY carefully. This is a BETA version of 9.1.  If you expect things to work, please download the latest 9.0 build from this thread:      
     
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=MediaCenter;action=di splay;num=1054751628
     
but if you're patient and willing to help us work out some of the bugs, you can download 9.1 here (recommended for experts only):      
     
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter91208.exe
     
(backup your library before installing)    
   
Please report any 9.1 problems in this thread.  Keep a list of problems and if they aren't fixed in the next build, please post the list again.

Nikolay, there's probably an error in the subject text of this thread. Is that 9.0.208 or 9.1.208?

  • While using list-type field, I can't seem to use the grouping level feature in the column properties. Well I can use it but it does nothing.[6/24/2003]
  • In the PLAYER BAR the TRACK POSITION SLIDER does not work. Clicking a different position or dragging it to a different position does nothing.[6/27/2003]
  • In PLAYING NOW view the highlight (focus) use to keep the focus on the current playing track. It no longer does this. [6/27/2003]
  • MC will only show itself if it is maximized. Trying to resize the window make MC dissappear. I have to right-click the taskbar and maximize to have MC show again. [6/26/2003]

Could Artist possibly be made a list type field?  Or at least have the option that it could be changed to one if someone wanted??

Found one big problem.  Something is wrong around data base engine.  A mp3 file having following file name is not playable in MC9.0 and MC9.1.  3 digits numer in below is octal number.  I guess MC9 is using one or few of following characters as its data base separator...   :'(

Please fix this as soon as possible.

File name is:
 201   i 222 264 216 236 213 363 227   v 215 307 203   } 203   N 203 215 203   X 203 244 201   ^   E   D   2 201   j 226 361 221 251 201   o 212   } 214 264 215   O 216   q 201   p   .   m   p   3  

And bugs I reported below are all open.

There are no "unsafe" characters in MC 9.x

There must be some other bug.  Any chance you could save the filename in a text file (Unicode if necessary) and email it to matt @ jriver.com (no spaces)

Thanks for helping.

New Display Window is excellent! Current zone is properly displayed, current library also. Thank you!

The only item missing: If you play music and run a slide show simultaneously, then only music title is displayed, no image titles can be displayed. In this case it would be nice to use the alternative display for images.

So it needs some media type dependency!

Now have to click excatly on the text in panes view rather than in the area in general.  This is not good especially if the text is just a number.  In previous builds the whole of the area surrounding the text was clickable.  If you try to click the area too many times MC crashes with a Media Core error

5-10 second lag when playing first track.  This only happens with the first track after MC has started.

I still have to fight to change tag properties. When there's only one item showing when you select an artist/album (auto) and then change the tag, it doesn't change the tag when the focus changes. If I see properties in the properties window, and change them, I should be able to expect those changes to actually be applied, or I should see something in the properties window that says that changes WON'T be applied.

(There are other places where the properties window shows tag info but doesn't save changes to the info when the focus changes... please make an APPLY button so we can control when the properties are changed.)

Did you guys switch the DSP back? Choosing 4 speaker isn't working again, but the 2 channel (stereo) is. ?

EDIT: Also, the position slider won't work, it just changes the display from with artist to without artist.

When you right-click on the iPod, check the bottom of the popup menu, you should see an option to "select Artist field"

Try modifying this setting to "Artist" and when you sync, your info should be there.

My hats off to you!!

All my problems with MC9 were fixed on this build--tags work and are saved, Media server is working again, playback issues and crashing all fixed...Don't know if these were specifically addressed, but it is working with windows ME just fine.

BTW, is there anyway to get the quicktag to work while in playlist?  It works when I am in my "media library", but it's greyed out and nonfunctional if I try to use it in a playlist....

Thanks again--9.1 is truly awesome!!

When restarting MC9, if you first go to Playlist and then click on Play, it'll start from where you left off before quiting.

If you click on Play without going to Playlist, it'll forget where you were and start with the first song in the current playlist.

From the 9.1.207 feature list:
Quote
3. New: Added "Remove Duplicates" command to playlist right-click. (tree and list right click)
4. NEW: Added "Send To->Play->Remove" command to remove selected tracks from Playing Now.


JRiver, Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! This is just what I requested recently in the plug-in developer forum. Of course, you'll add Automation SDK methods for these, right?

Small problem: If the currently-playing track in Playing Now has a duplicate, it is not removed.

Finally, in the .207 thread, Doof wrote:
Quote
When did we get the ability to add duplicate entries to playlists?

Duplicates are allowed in the Playing Now list, making this a very useful feature!  You're right about ordinary playlists, though, so it probably shouldn't be in the right-click menu for them.

Thanks again, JRiver, for making the best music product ever!

I still cannot minimize MC9 by simple LEFT-click of MC9 in task bar.  This is a regular manner of Windows applications.

This was fixed.  I just haven't noticed it.  Thanks.

BTW, I sent an email regarding to filename problem described above.  Hope it helps you guys.   :)

Try it, though... We can now add duplicates to playlists. I knew we always could to Playing Now, but somewhere along the way, they slipped that ability into playlists as well. I was just wondering when that happened.

I noticed I had a file in an album that for some reason didn't have its track # filled out. I decided to try out YADB to see if it would fill that in for me. So I gave it a try. MC got information from YADB and proceeded to change the Album name for that track, and still didn't fill in the track #.

Shouldn't MC check the Album information that's already in there before just willy-nilly picking another one on its own? And if it finds either a duplicate possibility or a match that's different than what's there, prompt the user for what to do?

Here are some requests\bugs left over from the 9 Beta.

CUE sheet creation. (so I can finally ditch EAC altogether)

Album Gain or something similiar so that if I forget to turn Replay Gain off on an album, I don't get weird jumps in volume from tracks that blend into each other.

A more intuitive Search\Smartlist Wizard. You've borrowed iTunes' interface, why not their search wizard? I wouldn't think that something like that would take too too long to whip up. The search capabilities are already in place. It's just the presentation that needs some sprucing up.

More intelligent media type handling. It's been said many times... images don't have a bitrate or BPM, and music files don't have dimensions.

Is it at all possible to fix that thumbnail selection bug now that you're no longer under MS' constraints?

Here are the steps I took:

I had no files selected.
I opened File Properties and went to the Image tab.
I clicked on Tools and chose Select Scanner.
I chose my digital camera from the list.
I clicked on Tools and chose Get From Scanner.

MC popped up a box asking me to select which pictures I wanted. (Suggestion: This box should have checkboxes next to each thumbnail and a Select All & Clear All buttons, much like MS's Camera and Scanner Wizard. Holding down Ctrl & Shift to select here isn't very user friendly.) I selected all of the pictures and clicked OK.

MC then went through the motions of grabbing all the photos off of my digital camera.

My Question:

What exactly did I accomplish here? In my mind, I transferred files from the digital camera to my computer, and automatically imported them into my Media Library. However, I was never asked about where to put them, or what to call them, or anything. And they are nowhere to be found.

So what exactly was supposed to happen?

I was just thinking... now that MC's icons are starting to really provide some nice and useful information (like if an entry is orphaned), it would be nice if we could sort by that somehow.

MS Outlook has a seperate field for the priority and flag icons, so you can sort by these.

Wouldn't it be nice if MC had a seperate column for the icon, so we could, in effect, not show the Media Type column, and just sort by the icon if we wanted? Or sort it so that we can quickly locate all of the orphaned entries?

Just a though. Hardly a high priority wish or anything.

  • In the PLAYER BAR the TRACK POSITION SLIDER does not work. Clicking a different position or dragging it to a different position does nothing.[6/27/2003]


I'm also having this problem... can't seem to seek thru WAV files...  also whenever you click a position in the slider bar the file info cycles (from Time Elapsed to Time Remaining)... the same effect you get when you click on the actual song name.... not sure if this is supposed to happen when using the slider, personally I don't think it should...

Excluded playlists in a view scheme are not being filtered when using 'album thumbnails'. Files will be added to 'Playing Now' that don't exist in the view scheme.

In addition, playlists (groups /w smartlists) used in view schemes are not being treated seperate when using 'album thumbnails'. Mainly for files with internal and external cover art.

That's why we post this with each build: Keep a list of problems and if they aren't fixed in the next build, please post the list again.

Unable to run this build or 207 on my Thinkpad T30.  It will do a fresh library import and then immediately produces a MediaCore error and MC crashes.  Subsequent attempts to reopen MC result in an immediate crash.  (I had similar problems with my desktop but finally got MC to run after restoring an earlier build and running the 208 install program again.)I've cleaned the registry and imported a different library than installed on the desktop.  Since I don't have an earlier build of 9.1 on my laptop, I've installed 9.0 and it's running fine.

Update 6/29/03

I was able to download 9.1.207 and upgrade 9.0 on my laptop.  Following that I successfully upgraded to build 208 and it's able to run.  I see the bug as not being able to do a new install with this build or a direct upgrade from 9.0.

Hi,

Thank you for fixing the scrollbars.  But now the mp3 file no longer forward or rewind when moving the slider.

Also, when using 2 ZONE, can't tell which zone anymore.

OPEN First reported 26/06/03
Status: Open
Priority: Medium
In the tools > options dialog, the scrollable icon list to the left has a scrollbar that doesn't scroll smoothly. When you click the bar and drag downwards, there is a jump and flicker as it appears to display the OS default bar for a few moments, then redraws with the skinned bar.

Try it, though... We can now add duplicates to playlists. I knew we always could to Playing Now, but somewhere along the way, they slipped that ability into playlists as well. I was just wondering when that happened.


Woa!  You're right!  I know that dupes in playliists were not allowed in 9.0.180 (just tried it 2 nights ago), so I suppose it came with the database reorg in 9.1.xxx.  I don't think I would ever want dupes because I use playlists more as boolean properties for each song rather than actual ordered lists.  I can see how some people who use playlists differently could want it, though.

I'm just glad for the Remove Dupes feature, especially for Playing Now list.

Hi,

11. NEW: Added multiple modes for display info (click to switch, right click to configure)

Thanks a lot, you fixed the display of current library and zone in a very smart way ! Any chance we can get [Composer] among the many display info choices ?

thanks again,

Christian

KnickelBug #1 - NEW
Position slider does not take over position after dragging or clicking a different position - it just flips back to current playback position.
 
KnickelBug #2 - NEW
MC does not use no more the customized toolbar images in the skin folders - it always uses the standard toolbar images from "Default Art" folder.
 
KnickelBug #3 - NEW
Although everything is set, after clicking "OK" in the options dialog the following message appears: "You left the track naming template blank. The default template will be used."

KnickelBug #4 - NEW
If "Album Thumbnails" is selected as list style and a single album is selected, there should be a thumbnail for every track of that album.

KnickelBug #5
Renamed custom fields still are shown as "Custom 1", "Custom 2", "Custom 3" in the library pane "headlines".

KnickelBug #6
"TRACKINFO_INSERT_YEAR" does not return a value for the track info templates.

KnickelBug #7
Using the "Search" image from the <PLAYERBAR> section as background for all searchbars looks ugly and cuts off the first letter of search string .

KnickelBug #8
Target bar and location toolbar should be drawn one or two pixels higher to allow better centered icons and text.

2. It is impossible doing right click on my library if the selected is playing now, what i mean is that when i do right click , there is the small window for a moment and then disapeare because of the load of my library

3. the middle button of the mouse doesn't work in the media library

4. when i write i the search field ( media library or playing now ) the first letter is not apear.

I can't import new files.  It always says how many were seaarched and 0 were imported, but they are not in MC before the attempted import.  The only way I can get them into MC is to right-click them in Windows Explorer and "Add To playing Now".

Just tried my luck by manually entering  a display setting such as "[Name] ([Composer)]" and... IT WORKS !!
It also works with all my custom fields.

Thanks a lot guys, you're the best !!

    When the library name is set to Default the library name doesn't appear in the display window.

    The progress bar in the display window cannot be used to change the play position. After moving the slider and releasing the mouse playback continues from the same point as before.

    Browse by Locations doesn&#8217;t work correctly. If I browse to a folder containing sub-folders I am only able to see tracks if I select <all>. If I select a sub-folder no tracks are displayed and I am unable to browse into the sub-folder.

    The Month and Date are not read from images where the EXIF date is set to 2002:01:01 00:00:00. The Date(month) and Date(day) are both listed as unassigned. This date was set on a number of photos from a colleague's camera where he had changed the battery and forgot to set the clock. Update: MC9.1 incorrectly displays the EXIF date in the Format window as 2002 when other software correctly reports it as 2002:01:01 00:00:00.

    When you first view the Extended file info only Album Artist, Composer, Image File, Keywords, Lyrics and Notes are displayed. You can only get the other Extended fields to appear by changing the bottom left pane to a different view then back to File Info.

  • Open - Date Opened: 2003/06/18  Priority: High
    When you add a new value to a tag using the File Info pane, the top pane does not update to show that value. For example, I added Phil in the People field and this did not automatically appear in the People column. I had to switch to a different view scheme and go back to the original view scheme for the update to be displayed.

If you turn your screensaver off (or don't allow it to start) when you are analyzing music it will run fine.

I have had 2 issues with Media Server, which have existed for several builds of the 9.1 beta:

1) Custom View Schemes are not shown on TiVo when using Media Server.  Only a set of 4 default views are ever provdied, regardless of changes to the library.

2) Within Media Server, if you click file->stop sharing and then hit file->share (to presumably have media server reflect any new changes to the library), Media Server consistently crashes with "Media Server.ex.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows."  You can restart it and it seems to work fine, but you can't stop/start it from within the program.

What exactly did I accomplish here? In my mind, I transferred files from the digital camera to my computer, and automatically imported them into my Media Library. However, I was never asked about where to put them, or what to call them, or anything. And they are nowhere to be found.
 
So what exactly was supposed to happen?


Doof, the "Image" pane is for the cover art of the files you've selected.  So you're saying "use the picture from my camera as the cover art."

Use "File->Aquire Images..." to do what you're hoping for.

We need to make this more intuitive.  Anyone have any ideas?

Well, for starts, I'd say disable this feature altogether when no files are selected.

Secondly, don't allow multiple images to be selected from a camera to be added as cover art. :P

I just checked out the Aquire Images function.

One suggestion... Allow an Album name to be input, that is used by MC as a subfolder to put the pictures in (that way we can specify the My Pictures folder just once), is entered into the file's tags (to save us some work), and is automatically used in the filename (ie. ALBUM_001.jpg, etc.).

It actually might be nice to allow us to enter some other information here, like Artist or some of the other image-only fields, so they're entered automatically at Aquire time.

Also... wasn't MC supposed to detect the user folders (My Music, My Pictures) automatically now? Mine defaulted to C:\My Pictures instead of C:\Documents and Settings\Doof\My Documents\My Pictures.
