Nice to see that v10 isnt all forgotten

The windowed display still stays in the taskbar even after it is closed.

BTW, whats w/ such a large version jump?

Don't know if this is a bug or a setup issue.

I was using MediaJukebox 9 up to now with no problems ripping from either of my drives. I decided to upgrade to MediaCenter, and since then I cannot rip a single CD!

The symptoms:

(i) Put in CD, YADB lookup, everything set and I select the right tracks for ripping.
(ii) Hit "rip" and for a few seconds I see the message "initializing". Then next thing I know, it indicates complete without having done anything!

I looked thru the forum and did not see anyone with this same issue, and I tried updating to the latest MC to try to fix things, with no change.

Is this a bug or simply a problem with setting up MC?

I've used MC9 &10 without ever having this problem. But I just got a new computer and have a problem playing files.

When playing an mp3 file: If I click on the FF button to advance to the next song, MC advances to the next song, and halts playback. Similarly, if I click on the display bar to advance to a different part of the song, playback stops. The play/pause button shows pause, indicating that the file should be playing.

I have noticed that MC has a problem reading the tags in some mp3 files

Winamp, WMP9, and Tag&Rename do not have a problem with them, however, so it might be a bug.

Stupid User · « **Reply #16 on:** October 07, 2004, 10:14:40 pm »

If you are addressing me, Jim, yes I did try rebooting. And also disabling/re-enabling the shell extension. I'll try reinstalling MC. Thanks.

Stupid User · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2004, 10:21:25 pm »

Reinstalling didn't help. Next step, I guess, is for me to see if it is a conflict with another shell extension. I am not sure that's even a reasonable possibility, but I can try to find out.

Stupid User · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2004, 01:55:29 am »

Disabling other shell extensions (with NirSoft ShellExView) didn't help.

But reinstalling Media Center 10.0.155 and rebooting did restore the icon to the MC shell extension.

I know this is very minor, but I thought I'd point it out anyway, in case it wasn't an intentional change.

I have a load of jpg files in my library that are tagged with artist and album information. These files will not respond to rules like media Type = Audio or File Type = MP3 i.e. they are still included in the view schemes. If I remove the artist / album tags from the jpg's they disappear from the view schemes.

This is very annoying as i want to keep front and back cover art in my library but I don't want it to show up in all my view schemes.

Can this bug be fixed?

Nick-S · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2004, 07:37:58 am »

Hi,

there's still one annoying bug with the sorting.

I have sorted my music like this:

All tracks are sorted in three levels. The "deepest" is the track-number, the next the CD-number and the "upper-level" is the album-titel.

And as you can see, the tracks are well sorted for albums with more than one CD.

But when I double-click on an album in the "Album Thubnails - List Style" then the track-sorting is wrong in the Playing Now-View!!!!!

$:-\$ The tracks are just sorted according to the track number! WHY Couldn't they also be sorted like in the first screenshot?

I hope you understand, what I'm trying to say...

Best Regards,

Nick

Alex B · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2004, 10:50:58 am »

Nick-S,

That can be a bug or a preferred way. The view sorting can be anything; should MC always use that when full albums are send to the Playing Now?

I renumber my multi-CD albums, I would have track numbers 1-44 for that album. The original numbering comes from the CD disk space limitation. A hard drive is not limited. You have a "Medium #" field. You could also have a "CD Track #" field if you need to preserve that information for some reason.

My 30 day trial expired today. I'm disappointed because I had to purchase the upgrade if I want to continue ripping CDs to WMA Lossless. I was told long ago that this would be fixed in v10 and it hasn't. I've only been using MCv11 for ripping, because I'm not sure if it is ready for full time use. I'm still using MCv10 for playback and management of my library. I guess I'll just keep running them both.

Hi. I've had this problem before, but it has returned and is a real pain.
I have a few Gb of media files on my hard drive and I can never complete an "Import Media" operation without it crashing at some point during the process.

Hence, without doing it folder by folder (for each artist) in smaller chunks I can never get the whole of my music collection imported into my MC library.

Has anyone else had similar problems? Help

I have tried a full uninstall and removal of the library files etc., but to no avail...

godavego · « **Reply #32 on:** November 10, 2004, 08:58:25 am »

This seems to be a strange 10.0.173 bug. I have about 700 CDs ripped to WMA Lossless. I use a Pronto with Supernudelist to select albums to play. As a result, I added an AlbumID tag to all my WMA files. Everything worked perfectly. Unfortunately, my system drive died recently, and I had to rebuild my system. Thankfully, my WMAs were on a different drive, so I didn't loose any of them. When I rebuilt my library is where I noticed the problem. After I was up and going again, several hundred WMA files had their AlbumID tag cleared. Which files were affected seemed to be random. Some albums had one or two WMA files with missing AlbumID, some had only one or no WMA files with an AlbumID value. The AlbumID tag was there, but the value was cleared. It took me quite a while to get all the IDs back in there.

Obviously, this is not something that would happen every day, but I was a little nervous to see that tags had been tampered with.

Precise series of steps I took:

1) Rebuilt the OS (XP Pro)
2) Installed 10.0.173
3) Imported my files from D:\Media
4) Realized I didn't have AlbumID in the library, so I added it.
5) Updated MC library from WMA tags
6) Built AlbumID/Album view for use by Supernudelist
7) This is when I noticed all the files without an AlbumID. Out of 8000 files, close to 1000 did not have an AlbumID tag value. The tag was there. It was just blank.

I've been testing with v9 a friend gave me to try out, and it's just what I was looking for.
Yesterday, I registered for this version. Now when I try to rip a cd, the program stops responding. I did notice that if I insert the CD after Media Center is running, at the bottom of the windows it says 'Gathering Files'.

I'm running W2K pro with the latest updates. I have 2 DVD burners in the system (no CD-ROM), and use Nero with InCD quite frequently.

Any ideas?? I'm in the process of moving most my CD collection to HD so I can play it through my D-Link Media Lounge.

Thanks much

I just started using MC recently, but I noticed this bug pretty quick:

The highlight bar in the left window highlights backwards from how it should. When you are 'in' the left window, it is a light (washed-out) colour. When your are 'in' the right window, it is a darker colour. Doesn't matter what skin...and you can easily tell because it doesn't follow the same logic that the right window does (for highlighting).

Can this be fixed in 10? Or, only in 11?

After rebuilding the database, I also had missing tags. resp. tags left blank. When opened with a hex editor, these files were still containig the tags and values. Also importing into MC9 works without any problem.
All these MP3s are stored on a linux fileserver running samba smb service. The application and also the database is stored on a local drive on an XP system.
Any MP3 which lost tags on import, could be imported without problems, when it was moved to the local drive before.

Renaming files from tags does not work corrrect when saving to the linux server.

MC9 handled this without problems.
There must be a problem in MC10s file handling!

Well,

Built a HTPC for my one of my sons to give to his wife for Xmas. Put MyHTPC (freebe) on it with examples.

After Xmas, they decided they like my setup with MC10 way better.

So they bought MC10.

Then I get a call, "Why will MC10 not rip to wma/lossless".

Told them I remember a prob. with WMP10, unload it and put WMP9 on.

Still cant rip.

I have not looked at their sys yet, but whats the easest way around this ?

Swaping the lossless files in plugins ?

Thanks
