1. Fixed: hh_portable installation problem.

11.0.273 (5/20/05)

Ripping:
When starting to rip, the screen changes to the "Rip Screen" (for lack of a better term), This is re drawn line by line and is VERY slow. It freezes the computer for 40 to 60 seconds, During this time the rip status bar doesn't move. Once the screen is fully re drawn the rip bar will fly up to were the rip status should be.

This was not like this about a month ago??

Regarding Seek/Previous issue, using MS Multimedia keyboard/intellitype 5.2, seek/previous keys work PERFECTLY.

I just noticed that cover art is not being displayed when playing via Library Server. Well, kind of...

So, I know of 3 places where the cover art might show up: the thumbnail that pops up when you hover over a track, the Image window on the left that is available from Action Window -> File Properties -> Image, and the Display area if you're using a display that shows cover art.

Right now when I'm playing tracks the first 2 places do show the cover art, but the Display area does not. Actually, it is even a bit stranger than that...

If I click on (but don't double-click/play) a track then it shows the cover are in the left Image window. If I then double-click the track to play it, the cover art disappears and it displays the URL to the track instead. If I single-click off and then back on the playing track the Image does not appear. But, once the song is complete, then clicking on it shows the art again.


I'm wondering if it is because my cover are is embedded in my WMA files.

Same issues I discovered in previous build(s) remain in .275:

1. When MC doesn't have the focus, MC volume control is smooth and responsive using the Logitech keyboard's wheel volume control. When MC has focus, the volume jumps in 5% increments (not really audibly noticable though). You can see the difference if you have MC in a windowed state, and you click outside to the desktop and move the volume control on the keyboard - the volume control in MC will be fluid and responsive where when MC has the focus, it isn't - it jumps in 5% increments.

2. When listening to a song and you decide to click on the progress bar to a previous position, it actually continues on from where it was, instead of going to the position on the progress bar. Don't think it's a problem if clicking on a position further on in the song - seems only to happen if selecting a position prior to the current one.

Thanks,
Kwake

Several posts were split to new threads because they require discussion.  Other minor edits to focus on important problems left.

Hi,
I'd like to report that when I'm watching tv in MC11 Standard view and then change to Theater View everything is ok in playing now.Pressing escape brings me to full screen which is also ok. When I press escape once more (from full screen) I return to MC Standard view but the tv screen is only half the size. It's been cut, or it hasn't been redrawn to its proper size.
