We're just starting work on Media Center 11. From time to time, we'll share our progress.
Think of these early builds like the hole in the ground before you start building a house. Much like the hole, it's hard to get excited about these builds, and if you're not careful with them, you'll get hurt.
This is the first build after major changes to allow guest users and side-by-side installs of MC. You will lose your settings. Some plugins will not work. Side-by-side installs are not functioning yet. There may still be tools in the patient. Please wait a few builds if you're not ready for problems.ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter110012.exe11.0.12 (7/2/04)
1. Fixed: Playing video streams in two zones at once could cause problems when using the WMP engine instead of the DirectX engine.
2. Changed: Album analysis only runs after changes instead of every start of MC, which helps speed with large libraries.
3. Fixed: Album analyzer could incorrectly call some albums a mix.
4. Fixed: DirectSound playback could throw a "too much spent data" when pausing playback.
5. Fixed: MC's EXIF analyzer could fail on some images after they were edited by Photoshop.
6. Fixed: WMA decoder would not always output the last millisecond of data during conversion. (due to a Microsoft bug)
7. Fixed: OGG encoder would capitalize its extension as "OGG" instead of "ogg".
8. NEW: Media Center runs without power user / administrative priveleges.
9. Changed: All user specific settings should remain with each user's account. (before some settings were shared)
