« on: February 03, 2004, 04:13:22 pm »

Media Center 10.0.60 beta is available.

This is a beta.  Avoid this if problems, changes, or crashes will upset you.  Do NOT try this if you aren't prepared for trouble.

Please keep a list of issues you find and report them with each build until we have addressed them.

The latest known stable version of 9.1 is here:
http://www.musicex.com/mediacenter/download.html

Please check the license and price thread before you download:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=17336

The latest beta of 10 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter10060.exe

10.0.60 (2/3/04)

1. Changed: CD burn progresss action window shows percentage of CD complete rather than percentage of current file.
2. Fixed: Status bar would get stuck on "Update panes..." in some cases.
3. Fixed: When the CD burn progress action window was displayed, the previous burn action window was still accessible.
4. Fixed: When MC warned about a CD burn that was over the disc capacity, cancelling the burn could lead to a crash.
5. Changed: When starting to stream asf content, MC now shows a "Buffering..." status so user knows what's going on.
6. Fixed: MC was computing the incorrect disc capacity for data CD burning.
7. Changed: Double-clicking on an audio file in a mixed media type list will show the images when outside of Media Library's root.
8. Fixed: Send-To 'External Tool' was not working properly.
9. Changed: When analyzing a web file, MC will display a status dialog after 4 seconds that allows cancelling.
10. Changed: MC silently advances on playback errors and only shows errors if multiple files in a row fail.

10.0.59 (2/2/04)

1. Changed: Selecting large groups of files or doing a select all in a list is much faster.
2. Changed: Theater View only starts playback of selected items on Play/Pause when playback is stopped.
3. Changed: Several optimizations to make dealing with large lists of files smoother.
4. Changed: Deleting files from Playing Now could take a long time with large lists.
5. Fixed: Custom sorting could be lost when deleting from Playing Now.
6. Fixed: Maximizing MC on a second monitor could cause it to not paint properly.
7. Fixed: Manually renaming URLs that already had duplicate entries in the database could corrupt the URL.

10.0.58 (2/1/04)

1. Fixed: Image playback would crash MC.

10.0.57 (1/30/04)

1. Fixed: Customize Current View dialog's 'List Style' combobox didn't have a large enough drop box.
2. Fixed: Media Center wouldn't always work properly when maximized with auto-hide taskbars.
3. Fixed: Handheld tree items were not being properly sorted.
4. Fixed: The SDK function CMJFieldAutomation::GetName(...) was not working properly.
5. Fixed: Right view not updating when files were dragged onto CD burn action window.
6. Changed: New advanced ripping options for multi-rip, multi-encode processing.
7. Changed: List of tracks to rip is shown as soon as "Rip" action window item is selected.

Does that mean that overburning is allowed?

Bug:
1. Favorites click does not auto-expand destined folder in My Computer if Auto Expand Tree enabled.  Incosistant/bugged implementation of Auto Expand Tree (I guess).

Not sure what the culprit is as I've just updated my system, but I've consistently had crashes while converting from APE to MP3 using the lame VBR plug-in. I usually batch 20 or more albums for runing over night, and when I look at it in the moring MC has hung or crashed and some of the files have not been converted. I caught it as it happened this time. The process went on for over an hour before giving up and the crash was lame (in more ways than one).

I love the "ignore articles" feature.  I also use the keyboard to navigate through the Artists list by first letter.  I wish the keyboard navigation would also ignore articles: when I press T it would select Talking Heads, not the next artist that starts with "The."  (Of course, pressing A does not necessarily get you to the top of the list either.)

Thanks!

Same two as last build:

1. Explorer integration is broken and has been for a LOOOONG time.
2. Theatre View shows Full screen display bars which are unneccessary and confusing to new users...

Have the issues with audible files (*.aa) downloading and working on the iPod been addressed yet?

Thanks,

Help - big problems with 60. I tried to install it but  it hung during the installation process at the point of trying to install MC program files. I then tried to go back to the previous version, but got the same hang-up. After trying a few older releases with the same result, I tried to uninstall but that hung up as well. So, now I don't have any MC at all and haven't a clue where to go from here. Any help greatly appreciated as I've got the family coming up for the weekend......hheeellllppppp !!!!!

Win98SE and can't remember the rest........

* When launching a TV Channel in Theater Mode with Space Bar, it doesn't launch the selected TV Channel but takes the first one in the list.  


* Could we have the recording options and DVD controls in Theater Mode in a more obvious place then in Playing Now/Display Options/... ?
And/Or have MC Commands for these actions

JollyJim,
This behavior sounds all-too-familiar as I had Win98SE at one time.
I don't know the technicalities but it seems that Win98 corrupts itself over time and needs to be periodically reinstalled. You can do that without erasing your hard drive but if you can arrange it, that would be the best.
Either way, you would have to re-install all of your applications even if they still resided on the disk. The non-"clean install", the one where you replace only the operating system and don't erase files, is called for if you can't back up your files somewhere else.
Understand, please, that I don't KNOW that this is your problem but I do know that I have had that problem and a reinstall (I've done it both ways) fixes it.

I hope, I hope.
