ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter110276.exe (End of required reading)11.0.276 (5/24/05)
1. Fixed: When starting Media Center while a running Media Center was in the process of shutting down would not always get a new Media Center started.
2. Changed: Media Center was using DirectX instead of its own audio engine for some compressed WAV formats even though the MC engine could suppport them.
3. NEW: Added support for multi-channel (5.1, 7.1, etc.) WAV and WMA files.
4. Fixed: Playlist views and library browser would not properly update their thumbnails after changing images for a file until leaving and returning to the view.
5. Changed: When making changes to images (set from clipboard, add from file, etc.) MC will block until the tags can be saved. (otherwise background tagging thread and list don't stay in step as expected)
6. Fixed: When dragging-n-dropping files from an explorer window to MC, focus would (occasionally) incorrectly return to the explorer window when the drop was complete.
7. Fixed: The TiVo Server would crash when choosing a second song to play while still playing a first.
8. Fixed: In some circumstances TV's Scan Channels window would appear to hang when Scan button was press (due to failure of the TV driver to recognize certain country code).
9. Fixed: Removable drive handheld devices could be overly slow when dealing with some file types. (QT, mp4, etc.)
10. Fixed: Changed caching so smartlists are not kept forever.
11. Fixed: If all encoders removed from MC, errors could occur when exploring options.
12. Fixed: Playing files from Portables within MC.
13. Fixed: In some cases, MC could deadlock with a "Saving tag changes..." dialog.
14. New: Added some fileinfo (File Properties->File Type Info) for RAW images.
15. Changed: Consolidated the Image File Information handling to JRImage.dll.
16. Changed: The Cover Art directory is no longer deleted unless the user specifies 'Remove library files' when uninstalling.
17. Fixed: Seeking to the very beginning of a song wouldn't always work as expected.
11.0.275 (5/23/05)
1. Fixed: TV time-shifting could sometimes hang if Fast Forwarding was attempted when the player was at the very beginning of the time-shifting buffer.
2. Fixed: CD burning was broken in the last couple of builds.
3. Fixed: Improved hotkey handling for systems that intentionally throw hotkeys in multiple ways.
4. Changed: Added support for a few more multimedia keys like fast forward, rewind, channel up, channel down, etc. (improves MCE remote support)
5. NEW: Added Options > General > Advanced > Media key mode for changing how MC catches hotkeys on systems where the automatic handler doesn't work as expected.
6. Changed: During portable transfers, transfer speed will update during initial transfer.
7. Fixed: Splitter arrows were not implemented correctly for some skins causing the splitter to get stuck minimized or maximized.
8. Changed: Suppressed on-screen error message "Cannot find VCapture:IAMStreamConfig" from TV.
9. Changed: Latest Nomad / Dell handheld plugin installed with each new build.
10. NEW: Audible files can be played with conversion on TiVo and UPnP devices.
11. Fixed: TiVo configuration dialog allowed typing in the encoder name field.
12. Changed: When pressing F5 in a random-style playlist, the selection would not be cleared even though the underlying files had changed.
13. Fixed: The TiVo beacon would occasionally crash.
11.0.274 (5/20/05 4:59pm)
1. Fixed: hh_portable installation problem.
11.0.273 (5/20/05)
1. Changed: Multimedia key handler intelligently disables secondary handler when the primary handler works on the system. (disables chances of repeat)
2. Changed: The above change allows the anti-repeat time to be reduced to a more usable level for quick button taps.
3. Fixed: Portable devices that require custom plugins may not have run the plugin correctly.
4. Fixed: PSP video would not play after transfer.
11.0.272 (5/19/05)
1. Fixed: Library Server crashing because of File Associations.
2. Fixed: Transfer errors could have occured when transferring to a Portable when the WMA plugin was deleted.
3. Fixed: Library Server, TiVo Server or UPnP Server would occasionally hang on exit.
4. NEW: Reworked how builds are stored and packaged to reduce download by about 2.5 MB (without removing anything).
5. Changed: Increased multimedia key anti-repeat time.
6. Fixed: Switching modes wouldn't properly update to the correct display. (by design, standard view, theater view, and mini view can have their own display settings)
7. Changed: Renamed launcher / mjextman to MC11.exe.
