Hey... 4.0 sound is working now! (My motherboard setup is being stubborn again, so I needed to revisit the 4-channel audio thing again.)

THANK YOU, this is so much better.

Come to think, maybe you should check the 2 channel stereo out, and make sure it's not messing with the surround encoding?

  • 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]
  • 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??

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.

Why not adding the upper new media liberary system panes in every treeview selection, so the selection when selected in the treeview get us the new media lib sys in the upper section in the right and the files in the bottom?

Ok, I've got some major bugs:

1.  If I left double click on a playlist, or a song in a playlist,  (did this accidentally), it cycles through it by opening each file one after the other, without playing anything; sometimes I get an error message, and I have to reboot before MC9 will work again,  other times I can end task and get back in without the error message, but if I double click on something again, same thing--very bizarre...

2.  If I change tags, they're not saved  (love the concept of the quick tag BTW).

3.  Media server isn't working  (although my server opens just fine, I just can't connect to it).  If I try to connect, I get an error message  (Media Jukebox.EXE has caused an error etc).  Media Center tries to connect to the  Media server everytime I open MC9--kind of a pain, since I have to wait for it to go through the motions before it doesn't find anything and I can use my library, and once it's gone through the motions, if I try to connect, I get that error message.

I listened to a sound clip from Amazon, and it is now in my library.  When I select it and press the Delete key, then choose "Delete from library and permanently delete from disk", it tries to delete the song but app closes.  When I open the app again, the song is still there...

This is probably because of the new font change I've been griping about ever since they came in. Probably just an oversight. Thanks Matt!

DSP peak level is low when starting some songs. Not sure what's causing it but I always have to open DSP, force a change (either EQ/Effects), turn it off and everything is fine (for that song).

The peak level is sustained at about 30-50% if I don't do this. All files have been analysed (as far as I know). Replay Gain is OFF so I would assume it goes by peak level and adjusts accordingly.

BUG: Applies to 9.1.205 (XP), haven't tried later versions. MC crashes after a few seconds if you try to frantically resize the window (MEGA-ME). I clicked on the top-right corner of the window and wildly moved my mouse randomly around the screen to cause it to keep resizing. Within 3-4 seconds, BANG! Up pops a "Media Core Error" message. Click OK and MC vanishes. I'm guessing it's some AV relating to the skinning engine. Div-by-zero? Just guessing.

- Adding a second view scheme with a name that already exists (e.g. Genre), takes over the first created view scheme.

- The properties pane used to follow the playing now song the last few builds, it doesn't do that anymore

I have a problem where if I play a video file (MPG) it works fine - but then when I forward to another video file the whole of MC crashes.

The first one always works - but playing a second file crashes MC...

Weird..

I'm using JRiver's Software since Jukebox 8 and now I want to give some hints:
Bugs:
- When clicking pause, and using seeking bar during pause, Media Center will start playing again, but still shows "Pause" in Display. Klicking on Pause (Button has Play Icon) again brings regular pause mode back, but with the bug. [at least since MC]
- In Picture SmartPlaylists the vertical scrollbar is invisible (it's under the bar, where you can choose, which Files are shown) [MC 9.1.207 bug]
- Bpm Counter always gives wrong results. I've got a few  CDs for Dancing with the correct bpms on the cover, but they are VERY different to the one, MC gives. [since it is integrated]
- When playing songs none repeat and the last song in Playing Now ends, MC plays the first few seconds of the last song in Playing Now again, before it stops [at Least since MC]
- Sometimes (two times on a private party!) when MJ/MC plays for a very long time non stop, it suddenly marks all songs in Playing Now as deleted and only a MJ/MC restart solves this. I'm not absolutely sure, if this is still in the actual Version [since my first MJ Version]
BIG Wish:
- Can't you change the way of fading out used by clicking stop when fadeout on stop is activated? When I'm using MCs multizone playback, I'm not allowed to use the stop button, because then all zones are faded out. Perhaps it is possible to change volume control similar to Winamp V2? Only an idea.
Wishes:
- What about a fade on pause?
- What about portable network graphic-support (png)?
- Why can't I choose the position of toolbars freely (I think you are working on that, aren't you?)
You are doing a great job. Thank you for the best software I ever used!! I'm looking forward to the multilingual version. Hope you will fill you promise!

When you minimize and then maximize the window, the task bar hides.

When tagging, if you change the location of a song and then delete another song, it won't let you change the location of the next song.  Unless if you close the properties window and then open it again.

5. Changed: Album thumbnails sorted by "Album Artist (auto)/Album" instead of "Artist (or first song)/Album".


Thanxxx a lot for this!!!

I've been waiting before use the new beta 'cause i wasn't very sure about if i wanted to have to learn more things, but seeing this option i couldn't wait for more.
But.... this is the only thing that i've found "useful" in the new beta. Maybe it's question of use it more and get used to it; but i remember that until now every new version has been better and i was like i don't want to get back to the old. This time i'm thinking in get back to my "old" 9.080, and i think that the fact of thinking this is not a good thing.
I see it like a bit harder to make my view schemes than it was before, and i use mainly playlist to make the view schemes. Well, maybe it isn't harder, but i don't find the "convenience" in the new method, and i see the new look like a bit "harder" to choose and search music. But, as i said before, mainly it's only a matter of get used to it.

Too, the fact that i don't understand some of the new things you're implanting probably have to do with that. I understand ('cause i've read some posts about it) what  calculated fields/template-based database fields are, but i don't know how to use it.

Any option of some "tutorial/pas by pas" of how to take advantage/learn to use of some of the things you're enclosing in MC?

OT Question(but really important for me): Is there some plan of change the display of date imported from the actual to year/month/day?

Quote
Can I get the ability to move the Properties pane to the right side of the screen?

Well, you got the ability of put in in any place clicking in "windowed mode toggle", but i suppose that what you want is to have the not windowed properties panel in the right side like in old version. Yeah, me too, but i think that we've very few possibilities of this happening. Don't ask me why, just an intuition  ;)

Just want to keep the fact that changing the list style resets the panes up there.
Also, it seems that each new build resets my carefully constructed custom text in the playing area (Not really a big deal though).

Thanks.

In the Album, Artist, Genre View, after selecting the Album the vertical scrollbars for Artist and Genre disappear. This has existed in the last few betas.

The List Style button on the bottom toolbar resets the panes, it should allow changing of views without resetting the panes.

There should also be a pane reset feature.

3. New: Added "Remove Duplicates" command to playlist right-click. (tree and list right click)


When did we get the ability to add duplicate entries to playlists?

Media Core Error
« Reply #29 on: June 27, 2003, 10:52:46 am »

I am receiving a "Media Core" error when I try and start Media Center Beta 9.1.207 and 206.  I just re-loaded my system with Windows XP Professional and the Service Pack update.  There are no other installed programs on this system yet with the exception of the Media Center Beta.

Please help.

Thanks

Doof,

It was there back in the early 9 beta days and then removed. I discovered it by accident in 205.

I used to use it for playlists that would contain a small soundbite between groups of songs (in "tangoese" it is called a cortina and is used to separate groupings of either artists or tangos, milongas, valses, etc). When it was removed I had to create 20+ versions of the same file 1-xx, 2-xx, etc.

Personally, I would like to see an option somewhere that says "allow duplicates in playlists, yes/no." But then I don't know how many other than myself would like it.

Thank you,

Hi,

- Still get some Media core crashes when switching from one library to another (athought it does not seem to be as deterministic as in 205)

- Is it possible to have the display of the name of the current library back ?

thanks

Bug?

Selecting the value of a calculated field does not display anything in the content pane.

Sample:
Selecting 1916 in  Date (Year) Column displays 3 lines, selecting 1916 in Date Column displays nothing!
