8. Fixed: Incorrect last played data for iPod and subsequent error synching Play Count.

last played data is fixed but the play count still keeps increasing for files that were just played if I don't eject the iPod between syncs.

THEATER VIEW

When navigating in the default audio view, you need to hit the back button twice to return to root Audio level. My default view scheme contains only 2 view items:- artist and album.

Same prob occurs with Left arrow when you have the "Allow navigation with left and right arrows" option enabled. You have to hit the left arrow button twice to go back to the default Audio page. Problem may have been introduced with this change??

Thanks.

I seem to be having some problems with the Analyze Audio feature. After selecting the files to analyze and starting the process, MC just doesn't do anything and CPU Usage is about 1%. I have no problem stopping the Analyzer as well (i.e. it stops immediately and doesn't hang) which leads me to believe that MC isn't even trying

1. Changed: Media Center will use the proper language-specific "My Music", "My Videos", etc. folders instead of always defaulting to English.

thank you so much, that the search now uses language.txt 
if you add the my music (and so on...) folders to the "search" they are in englisch.
it would also be cool if it searches the folder my videos, since many programms save ffiles there.

I've had this problem for ages - I often have to press back numerous times to actually go back one level. The number of times I need to press back seems random - sometimes once and sometimes as many as ten times. It only occurs at one level in the view scheme - the one before the file list I think.

I guess the cleaning lady has unplugged the Analyzer's power cord.  

... MC doesn't try. It's broken in this build. It works in 245.

Serious issue with DPI settings above 96:

I have been using Media Center since version 8, and have been running the MC11 alphas and betas all along.  Skipped a few builds recently, but just jumped to 11.0.246.  Suddenly, my 120-DPI system has problems with the options dialog (these are thumbnails of larger images, of course):

Audio Analysis does not function any more

[John Gateley]

Audio Analysis does not function any more

Fixed in next build.

Old bug with the visualisations window is back:

shift click on the full screen display window and it minimizes instead of going to window view.  It can only be restored back to full screen view (not windowed view).

MC 11 Won't rip enhanced CD's

If a CD contains data as well as the audio MC 11 will not recognise it for riping.

This happens with Enhanced CD's as well as Copy Controlled CD's.

Always worked fine in MC 10 and I've had to resort to Windows Media Player to rip these CD's

Thanks
