We're ready to release Media Center 11.0.  PRICES are here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=23311

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:  Post bugs you are certain about here.  Anything else will be moved or deleted.  If you can't find your post here, please look in the main index.   Feature requests should be postponed until MC11.0 is released. 

Media Center 11 is available here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter110292.exe

11.0.292 (6/13/05)

1. Changed: InstallWizard will try to install Windows Media components if it can not find version 10.0.0.3802 or later on the target computer. (Previously it only required 10.0.0.3646. Version 10.0.0.3802 includes some important security updates over earlier ones.)
2. Changed: Users can choose to continue installation of MC in case the installation of Windows Media components fails.
3. Changed: Improved tab sizing in Library Browser view.
4. Fixed: Handheld auto-synch was not working properly.

11.0.291 (6/13/05)

1. NEW: Added several new 2D visualizations from Tabby. (thanks Tabby!)
2. Fixed: When playing, then switching the output plugin in options, then switching tracks, MC could crash in some cases.
3. Changed: FTP Upload didn't remember thumbnail size changes between runs.
4. Fixed: "R6025 - pure virtual function call" runtime error when closing media library panes (could be caused by double-clicking artist/album, editing view scheme, etc.).
5. Fixed: Defined portable device paths would not always allow files to transfer.
6. Fixed: Some portable devices would have mistakenly written to a 'Root' directory.

11.0.290 (6/11/05)

1. Changed: "Download Images" could reload the same image multiple times (causing flicker) when doing several files from the same album. (drawing only -- wasn't hitting network multiple times)
2. Changed: "Download Images" goes through artists / albums alphabetically instead of in a random order.
3. Fixed: "Download Images" would try to download cover art for non audio files.
4. Fixed: When starting MC with some command line arguments, it would not properly run. (applies to 289 only)
5. Fixed: Playlist exporting and printing could operate on the "Analyze Audio" list in some cases when Audio Analysis was running in the background.
6. Changed: Cover art tagging happens in the background. (the new system allows background cover art saving and proper thumbnail updating, so there's no need to block while saving art anymore)

11.0.289 (6/10/05)

1. Fixed: File conversion on the fly to Portable Devices.

11.0.288 (6/10/05)

1. Changed: Like in 285 and before, when saving cover art internally MC will show "Inside File" for the file's image instead of the external location.
2. Fixed: In some cases, downloading cover art would download a file for each track in an album.
3. Fixed: The "Reset" button in Options > Handheld was not properly closing the options dialog.
4. Fixed: Playlist Groups could show files from all database locations even if child smartlists only searched the main database.
5. Fixed: Transitioning from mixed audio+image to video back to the mix would not show images anymore.   
6. Fixed: When renaming a tree item the old item could be seen "under" the rename edit box.
7. Fixed: Auto-import no longer automatically imports CD & DVD files into the main library.
8. Changed: Media Center converts non-jpeg files to jpeg when saving as external cover art for Folder.jpg or Artist - Album.jpg.
9. Changed: Media Center uses a high jpeg quality when saving clipboard / scanner images as cover art.
10. Fixed: Navigating back did not properly load the view state of the panes.
11. Fixed: After resetting Handhelds, the options dialog will correctly close.
12. Fixed: Handhelds that are configured as 'remote drives' that are not present, should not appear in the device tree.
13. Fixed: PSP support

11.0.286 (6/8/05)

1. Fixed: When starting a mixed playlist (images and audio) from Theater View and then switching views, image playback could be replaced by another display type.
2. Fixed: MC 11 could use MC 10's mime handler. (causing mime handling bugs or crashes during installation)
3. Fixed: Some invalid MPC files would report a very long length -- causing playback and analyzer problems.
4. Fixed: Minor typo in Audible machine activation dialog.
5. Changed: Installer more strongly recommends uninstall of MC 10. (recommended for best performance and stability)
6. Changed: Added workaround to play streams on Streamium and other UPnP devices.
7. Changed: Drop of playlists on Portable Devices in the tree will open the MC AW.
8. Fixed: Importing MPL playlists that pointed to CUE files would not work properly.
9. NEW: Added more flexibility for how cover art -- art can now be stored next to the files on disk.
10. Fixed: Several pieces (associations, shell extensions, etc.) would not work as expected on W2K. (due to the 15 character process name limit)
11. Fixed: With 'store cover art inside files' unselected, MC would remove internal cover art on any tag change. (now only removes on 'Remove Cover Art' / 'Remove Tags' commands)
12. Fixed: When switching to Standard View from another View the TV image was not properly resized.
13. Changed: The Estimate Stream Length option is no longer needed.
14. Fixed: Some Action Window tooltips could appear while a right-click menu was showing.
15. Changed: Portable Device detection and handshake with MC. Devices that enumerate themselves multiple times are handled smoothly.
16. Fixed: With some skins loaded, MC could not properly close its options dialog.

2. Changed: Users can choose to continue installation of MC in case the installation of Windows Media components fails.

Thank you! So this is the special Mastiff version you promised me a couple of months ago when I complained about having to install the codec? Oh, btw, I found a way around that, of course... Haven't installed the codec on any computers...

While connected to a remote Media Server, I can no longer play local files via the "Drives & Devices" menu.

I get an error dialog that says:

"Media Center was unable to play any of the files in the playlist.

Please make sure that the path in Media Library points to the right location and that the files are not being filtered by Access Control."

If I connect to my local library, then the above works fine. In neither case are the files in any library -- I'm just trying to play arbitrary files that happen to be located on my local filesystem.

There seems to be a buffering issue with this build (and maybe the last couple as I haven't tested them).

Environment:
Library = on local C: drive
Output is set to Wave Out
Playing WMA lossless files back over a 802.11g wireless network


Symptom:
When skipping forward a track, playback starts for 1 second, then stops for about 1.5 seconds and then continues again.

Problem not there if using Direct Sound or when playing 192K MP3s, only when using Wave Out and WMAs.

when using "Convert Files"

If there is Multible Files With The Same Name, And Artist

Media Center will Show This Error



Maybe It It Trying To Save Its Self Back To One Of The Other Files And Or The Source.

My Point In This Really Is It Is Stopping The Batch, So A Batch That Would Have Normaly Been Completed Somtime Last Night Stopped And Now I Had To Click On Ok, To get It Going Again.

MC should let me know only when the batch is done that it could not write back to the file.
