Media Center 9.0.87 beta is available.
This is beta software -- some things don't work, some things may crash, and your database and tags may not be totally safe. If you're sure you want to continue, you can download here:
[build 87 was pulled because it crashes when MC opens Playing Now. A build of V9 that will work is on the downloads page -- JimH]
Changes (9.0.87)
1. Fixed: Browser scheme groups weren't being cleared when switching / unloading libraries.
2. Fixed: Unanalyzed files were not being handled properly when calculating auto replay gain preamp.
3. Fixed: Package Installer could fail to install some hand-held plugins properly. If you've experienced problems, please try to reinstall the handheld plugin.
4. NEW: Direct Sound playback configuration now allows the selection of a device.
5. Fixed: Image height and width were not being imported for .jpg files. (use Tools -> Update DB from File(s) to correct old files)
6. Fixed: Media Jukebox could crash when analyzing cooked OGG files. (like ones that EAC wrongly put an ID3v2 tag on)
7. Fixed: "Check for Updates" works again. (under the Help menu)
8. Fixed: Reconciled v8 and v9 MJAutomation changes for SDK users. (new .TLB included)
Changes (9.0.86)
1. Changed: Brought back Media Jukebox 8 style "Recently Imported."
2. NEW: Added "implied" search keyword based on the field name -- this is the recommended way to build searches to ensure that user customization won't break anything. (i.e. [artist]=dylan will always work)
3. Fixed: Editing a preset field could corrupt the database by changing the field's data type to "string". (sorry, you'll need to re-import or restore from a non-corrupt library)
4. Changed: Right-click to insert a column now adds the column next to where the click occurred, instead of at the beginning.
5. NEW: Playlist groups now remember their view mode. (delete auto smartlists, restart, then clicking on the root of auto smartlists will be fast)
6. Fixed: Several bugs with playlist view mode operation.
7. Fixed: After customizing DB fields, all column customization would be lost.
8. Changed: Default column layout more logical.
9. NEW: Added "Revert to Default Columns" to column header right-click menu.
10. Fixed: Windows uninstaller was unable to find MC uninstaller.
11. Changed: After fresh install, content tooltips are off by default.
12. Fixed: YADB track lookup was only working for 1 in 10 files.
13. Fixed: "Media Jukebox" (or other custom field text) could sometimes erroneously get imported as the comment field.
14. Changed: Added progress to "Saving tag changes..." wait message.
15. Changed: Added progress to tag removal tool.
16. Changed: Further improved TV options.
17. Changed: Improved YADB track lookup engine -- more likely to find matches.
18. Fixed: Media Center was not working correctly with external tools.
19. Changed: Analog sound recorder now uses YADB for track name lookup.
20. Fixed: Sound recorder "Add track" dialog was messed up.
21. Fixed: In CD ripping settings, "Choose sound" button wasn't working.
22. Fixed: Default encoding rate was incorrect on new installations.
23. NEW: Added "Automatic" replay gain adjustment mode -- plays the playlist as loud as possible without clipping. (but still at the same volume)
24. Fixed: Pre-setup unpacker said "Media Jukebox" instead of "Media Center".
25. Changed: Made sound recorder buttons keyboard selectable for automated recording.
26. NEW: Media Center has multi-zone playback!!! (check out "Player Zones" under the far right button in the lower-left player area)
