[build pulled due to date editing issue -- Matt]

11.1.93 (01/04/06)

1. NEW: Dropping files directly onto a Media Center shortcut will begin playback.
2. Changed: Command line playback commands support file lists in this form: "c:\1.mp3" "c:\2.mp3" (also supports alternative "c:\1.mp3"|"c:\2.mp3")
3. Changed: Revised anti-repeat logic for remote controls to ignore repeat count and only look at timing for most commands. (volume is different since it often gets held down)
4. Fixed: Dimensions column would show an "x" for audio files.
5. Changed: Revised expression language to return fields formatted for display by default, use [Replay Gain, 0] or Field(Replay Gain, 0) to not format for display.
      Details here: http://www.jrmediacenter.com/DevZone/DBExpressions.htm
6. Changed: Updated the DevZone MC command list to the latest.
7. Changed: Replay gain, width, height, etc. no longer show a question mark when empty. (now simply blank)
8. Fixed: Ejecting a handheld from the right-click menu in the tree wouldn't remove it from the MC tree.
9. Fixed: Trying to close MC from a theater view button while media server was running wouldn't work as expected.
10. Fixed: When starting MC with media server running, it wouldn't honor the startup mode switch. (for Theater View, etc.)
11. Changed: When picking "Playlist sync" and then picking no playlists, the options dialog will show an error and not let you continue.
12. Changed: Reduced the tooltip delay duration in file lists and a few other spots.
13. Changed: Tile views now contain files (for play, drag-n-drop, etc.) in the order specified by the sorting of the rest of the view.
14. Fixed: Changes to calculated fields wouldn't take effect until MC was restarted.
15. Fixed: Rotating images or using other thumbnail changing tools could cause a crash. (still)
16. Changed: Added a cancel button to image rotation operations.
17. Fixed: YADB Submission was not working in Windows 98 (possibly ME too).
18. Fixed: Podcasts were not properly cleared and re-initialized when the database was cleared.
19. Changed: Full precision Date Field is now saved in Medial Library for Podcasts. (Previously truncated to year)
20. Changed: Podcasts again display and sort using the regular Date Field. (Previously used DateCreated)
21. Changed: Better subtitle on main Podcast frame.

11.1.92 (01/03/06)

1. Optimized: Improved the speed of calculated template-style fields.
2. Optimized: Improved the startup and tree building time. (especially with large libraries)
3. Changed: TV time-shifting window is increased from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
4. Fixed: When pressing a navigation letter in a library view and then pressing play, the selected files wouldn't always play.
5. Changed: Somewhat revised library view mode switching. (feedback welcome)

11.1.91 (01/02/06)

1. Fixed: Media Center would not run on Win9x / ME systems.
2. Changed: Added higher anti-repeat possibilities (1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 5 seconds) to the remote control options page.
3. Changed: Fullscreen display bars auto-hide even when the mouse is over them. (so they don't "stick" when leaving the mouse in the wrong spot on the screen)
4. Changed: Reduced the number of allowable auto-complete combobox items. (since Windows comboboxes get too slow otherwise)
5. Fixed: Album thumbnails were using the name of the first track instead of the album name as the thumbnail text.
6. Fixed: When showing the TV view, switching between display and webpages, and then going to fullscreen and back, the display would not properly reappear.
7. Fixed: Tile-style views could be much slower than expected.
8. Changed: Grouping views better handle list-style fields where a file shows under several groupings.
9. Fixed: Files that failed to upload to a device could still show in the file list until MC was restarted.
10. Fixed: CD / DVD files were not properly transferring to iPods or other handhelds.
11. Fixed: In rare cases, rotating images or using other thumbnail changing tools could cause a crash.
12. Fixed: Very large libraries could fail to load. (200,000+ tracks)

Will the Details view in Tiles be customizable and sticky soon?

I seem to have some  kind of library corruption:

All my MP3s with Tagged years of 1993 display as 4/19/1909.  I have other years (about 5 others) that display other various mm/dd/yyyy dates as well.  The tags (ID3v1) are correct and MC displays the years correctly in File Type Info.  If I change the tagged year to a year that is displaying correctly (say 1992), then it displays 1992.  Change it back to 1993 and 4/19/1909 displays again.

How do I get MC to correct this corruption issue (I assume)?

My MP3's Encoded @ 160 bit rate show as a bit rate of 16

Agree, it appears any birates with a 0 (zero) in it get truncated on the right side (like 230 is 23 and 201 is 2).

Same problem with Track # as well:  10 displays as 1.

[avpman]

Auto-rip = ON
Auto-eject after burn = OFF

When MC finishes burning the disk it then launches into auto-ripping the disk it just burned.

LOL
now that, you have to admit, is one funny bug

Ripping bugs:

I have Track name as this:  [Track #] - [Name]

File names are coming out like: "- I want to be Happy".  No track number is showing in the name.  I was able to repeat this on multiple discs.

Second, when gathering info for the rip, there is no number for track 10.  It's not in the drop down and I can't type it in.  Weird.

I'm seeing something similar.  I have auto-rip turned off, yet when I finish ripping and put another CD in, MC takes off ripping that one before I've had a chance to fill in the blanks.

[Mike Noe]

Alright, this is weird.  Somehow, the auto-insert flag was set to begin ripping.  Not sure how that got flipped.   I was asked earlier what to do when inserting a CD and I chose to do nothing.

Might want to double check that the auto-insert notification flag is being set properly when "do nothing" is chosen from the dialog.
