ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111124.exe

11.1.124 (2/20/06)

1. Fixed: Incorrect bitrate was reported for streaming WAV files (from Library Server).
2. NEW: Put in expermental Export Playlist to Podcast feature.  (generates unusable URLs)
3. Fixed: Handheld plugin would not load properly on Windows 98.
4. Changed: Reduced the number of stops in the fast forward and rewind progression during DVD and TV playback.
5. NEW: Added "Jump Forward 30 Seconds" and "Jump Back 30 Seconds" as seek possibilities. (Player menu, remote command, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right)

11.1.123 (02/16/06)

1. Changed: Podcast Episode status now has better tooltips.
2. Changed: All tooltips now word wrap across multiple lines.
3. Changed: We now ignore all empty XML tags in Podcast Feeds. (CNN now works)
4. Changed: There are a few more Podcast feed download and keep options.
5. Fixed: Using custom command-line parameters for the MP3 encoder without specifying lame.exe at the front wasn't working. (now defaults to lame if nothing is specified)
6. Fixed: With DSP enabled and clip-control off, audio would not properly flat-line on overflows. (introduced in 122)
7. Optimized: Several more assembly optimizations to the core playback / decoding / conversion engine. (lower CPU usage, faster conversions, etc.)
8. Fixed: A timing message box could appear at the end of a file conversion.
9. Fixed: WAV streamed from Library Server was not played in MC's native playback engine.
10. Fixed: In rare cases DirectShow playback could crash when switching tracks.
11. Fixed: The podcast "file download" right-click option did not always do what you would expect.
12. Changed: Ogg encoding couldn't be done "on-the-fly".
13. NEW: Updated Ogg Vorbis encoder to version 2.8 (libvorbis version 1.1.2)
14. Changed: Library server uses less aggressive filename escapement. (only escapes unicode and non-printing characters)
15. Changed: Library server escapement is applied just-in-time instead of on library load.
16. Fixed: Typing invalid custom command line parameters into the MP3 encoder could cause a hang when doing a conversion.
17. NEW: Updated the German translation file. (thanks ByteStar!)

11.1.122 (02/15/06)

1. Changed: Handheld options only shows connected devices. (since MC doesn't know everything it would need to about disconnected devices)
2. Changed: Removed a nesting level in Options > Playback.
3. Changed: Options tree controls have slightly more vertical spacing between items.
4. NEW: Help file updated for v11.1 (thanks Lise!)
5. Fixed: Right click ripping options weren't available when viewing multiple drives in list control.

9. NEW: Deleted Podcasts episodes can now be hidden from view.
10. Changed: Added ability to turn off TV, Podcasts, Web Media, and My Computer to Options > General > Advanced > Features. (experiment -- may not remain)
11. Changed: If a DirectShow video file hung on opening (due to a bad filter / bad file), MC would not be able to stop or shutdown properly.
12. Fixed: Some interface plugins would not be disabled when checking "stop 3rd party plugins" on the incomplete shutdown dialog. (AudioScrobbler, etc.)
13. NEW: Added option to use super-fast Go-Go encoder to MP3 encoder. (2x-3x faster for doing on-the-fly conversion for handhelds, UPnP, etc.)
14. Changed: Reworked the MP3 encoder options dialog.
15. Changed: Podcast download button is now gone.  It is replaced by a "Download" hyperlink.
16. Changed: All click-able entries in the Episode Status column are now shown as hyperlinks, and have custom tooltips.
17. Optimized: Several assembly optimizations to the core playback / decoding / conversion engine. (lower CPU usage, faster conversions, etc.)
18. Fixed: Clip-protection would not work as expected for the DSP applied to a CD burn. (attenuation would not rebound at the same rate as it would during regular playback)

11.1.121 (02/14/06)

1. Fixed: Duplicate Podcast episodes are now handled gracefully.
2. Fixed: Deleting files from a handheld (manually or on a sync) could cause a crash.
3. Fixed: Cover art was not working properly over library server.
4. Optimized: Handheld playlist upload is fully threaded. (eliminates pauses after uploading the last file in a sync)
5. Changed: MC shows a wait message when calculating a handheld sync.

4. Fixed: Podcasts were not properly handling international characters.
5. Changed: "Analyze Audio" tool will not try analyzing files that are not played in MC's native playback engine.
6. Fixed: With duplicate Podcast episodes in the database, it was possible to download the same episode repeatedly.
7. Fixed: In some cases, an iPod would not do an OS-level eject because the plugin thread's working directory prevented the eject.
8. Changed: Added "Remove Device" and "Rename Device" to the handheld options dialog.
9. NEW: Send To menu has zone specific playback commands when there are more one configured zone. (allows simple "Preview on headphones" style functionality)

11.1.119 (02/13/2006)

1. Changed: "Clean File Properties" can no longer operate on "File Type" and "Media Type". (changing these can cause other problems)

When the UPNP Media Server is set to Convert Audio When Necessary, the Roku Soundbridge and the encoder is set to MP3 High Quality VBR, the Soundbridge will not play garden variety WMA files. These are files that play fine when set to "Don't Convert Audio". From the log file, the MC Server is trying to share these files as MP3s, but not successfully.
 
I've set the server to "Don't Convert Audio" so my system is working, but you may want to look into this.

Let me know if you need more information.

5. NEW: Added "Jump Forward 30 Seconds" and "Jump Back 30 Seconds" as seek possibilities. (Player menu, remote command, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right)


This sounds cool! Is it possible to configure this time or is it hard coded for 30 secs?

[sdgrizdan]

Right Click on Handheld in tree -> Options

This selection goes to the last viewed menu item in Options.

However, logically, it should by default go to the Handheld Options, or just have the handheld options the only selection available.

Yeah, customizeable would be nice (even a registry hackster).  I like jumping forward 30, but back 10.

Same here.  It would also help me a LOT if I actually bothered to figure out Girder.

1. Media Server set tp startup (added to Starup folder) not working; tried to manually start and get "error getting license from file" error.

Server works fine when MC is running.

2. Playing Now:

a) 3rd party skins like Aruba &   work only when switched from another skin and after MC is re-opoend they fail to pop-up (.ini still updates FTP)

b) Windowed View prevents Playing Now from popping up & also from uploading image to FTP.

Cover art is set to be displayed, I was working in Word and had the Win. View up (always on top)....my sig was not updating and it would only do so when the Windowed Mode was minimized. I tried it about 5 times and it responded instantly to the switch each time (playing Now doesn't "catch up" when you min. the Windowed View). Playing Now  and won't work in Full Screen mode or Windowed Mode whther or not MC is also front & center.

For me, playing Now only works in Theatre View, Normal view, and Mini View.

3. Some kind of FFDSHOW conflict? Was working fine for days and suddenly arose:

Suddenly as soon as I access Video with MC (all stored on net drive) MC crashes with a fatal error. Been using .23 for a while and this started yesterday. Using FFDSHOW and looks like multiple instances are starting up in the systray.

Media Center Application Error:
"The eception Integer divisoin by zero (0xc0000094) occurred in the application at location 0x6fcbf2d."

I am going to try a reboot and disable FFDSHOW but thought I should report this behavior that has been working fine since .23 came out.

MC cannot authorize files for more than one Audible.com user.

See this message for more info.

In "ACTION WINDOW", one finds: Build Playlist > Edit Existing Playlist.

Could you add in the contextual menu (right click) "Edit This Playlist" when one clicks on one of these playlist, that in the tree menu (left). That would be an enormous profit in ergonomics.

Thank you in advance.

Let me know if you need more information.

I can't reproduce this. WMA files are converting fine. Are you using Fast mode for the MP3 encoder? Does the log show errors?

What exactly are you adding to the Startup folder?
