11.1.115 (02/07/06)

1. Fixed: Resetting devices while viewing a handheld view could cause a crash.
2. Fixed: Handhelds would unexpectedly rerun smartlists when dropping individual files onto a device setup for sync. (causing confusing sync of random type lists)

4. Fixed: Cover art would not always clear from the display once Media Center stopped playing.
5. Fixed: The player bar's spectrum analyzer could get "stuck" if you paused, quickly hid Media Center, and then showed it later.

7. NEW: Improved Media Center's handling of advanced relative paths in playlists.
8. New: Added a link to see the previous MC execution's log file.
9. Fixed: Cameras that specified a focal plane resolution but no focal plane units in their EXIF tag could cause a crash.
10. Changed: Tweaked the EXIF output for images. (Action Window > File Properties > File Type Info)
11. Fixed: In the library header navigation bar, the word "File" could get replaced by "Pane" in some cases.
12. Changed: Reworded the Options > CD & DVD Burning dialog to better encompass DVDs.

6. Fixed: Switching sample rates of audio files being played could cause audio corruption in some cases.
7. Fixed: QMB boxes now set focus to the edit field.  (Highlight it, too.)
8. Fixed: Search box is speedy again.
9. Changed: Search box no longer resizes.
10. Changed: The play shortcut in some Theater View or Windowed mode pages would play the files from the view selected in Standard View instead of the current playing now. (if this option was selected)

12. Changed: Revised the about dialog to contain a JRiver link in it.
13. Fixed: The recently imported playlist was not working properly.

1. Changed: Added a tooltip to the top menu bar that explains that the bar is customizable. (shows after 2 seconds)
2. Changed: After editing an image, MC will save the previous tags into the updated file. (if you "Save As..." instead, tags will not be transferred)
3. Fixed: During FTP image upload, the progress display could show incorrect values.
4. NEW: Added .dvr-ms as a supported Windows Media Video file type.
5. NEW: Media Center does an OS-level eject on devices like an iPod when the system suports it. (so it's removed from the "Safely Remove Hardware" system, etc.)

1. Fixed: Video Podcasts get classified correctly on an iPod 5g.
2. Optimized: Improved the loading speed of the display menu that allows picking visualization, track info, etc.
3. Optimzied: Device enumeration now occurs in a low-priority background thread. (so a slow WMDM system won't stall the program)

10. Changed: Spectrum analyzer is on by default in the player window. (click on it to turn it off)
11. Optimized: Built-in spectrum analyzer is fully threaded, so that it can never block the main program.

6. Changed: Revised the columns shown in a CD view when doing an audio burn.
7. Changed: Reworked the data burning Action Window page.
8. Changed: Changing pane selections no longer presevers the selected file set in the file list.

11. Changed: If attempting to test if a file can be played with DirectShow doesn't respond, MC will not try that file type again during the current run of the program. (to side-step buggy filters)
12. Fixed: Last Exit View works now.

We'll put it in the next build.  Thanks for all your great work!

When I use the library browser and scrolling down, the tiles (thumbnails) disappear one by one, and when I use the alphabet search nothing happens after the letter A.

When I use the library browser and scrolling down, the tiles (thumbnails) disappear one by one, and when I use the alphabet search nothing happens after the letter A.

Can you see thumbnails in panes view?  You could try resetting your thumbnails in Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Erase all thumbnails...

Can you see thumbnails in panes view?  You could try resetting your thumbnails in Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Erase all thumbnails...

Everything works fine in panes view but when I choose artist or album the first thumbnails shows, but when I scroll down they disappear one by one from upper left. Before I reach letter B it's all blank. When i click on it I just get a light blue square. I tried resetting the thumbnails. It worked just fine in v. 11.0

A couple issues with MediaServer streaming:

1)  When using Media Server to play wav files from a library on another system, MC puts a BIG gap in between songs.  MS is apparently not buffering the next song since during the pause in between each song, MC says "openning."  This does NOT seem to be a network/speed issue since if I simply access the songs directly with the second system, there the are no pauses in between songs.

In other words, if I open the "default" library (instead of using MediaServer) and navigate via "Drives and Devices" to the other system's drive and play the songs WITHOUT using MediaServer, there is no gap.  I'm playing the EXACT same files -- I'm just getting the gaps when playing it via MediaServer.  I posted having this same issue with MC10 a while back.

Oddly enough, mp3s seem to play back gapless now (even though mp3s are inherently problematic in this regard.)  The point to draw from this, however, is that MC apparently IS buffering the next song when playing mp3s since with no buffering, it would not be able to "instantly" start playing the next song.

2)  When playing wav files via MediaServer, the bitrate is not displayed.  If I access the SAME file on the other system via the network without using MediaServer, I can see the bitrate, which displays as 1411.  Using MediaServer, it displays as "?".
-------------------------------------------------------

"Current Song Status Bar" display issue:

Single slashes (i.e. "/") are not showing up in the current song display at the top of the screen.  The default setting includes "[Elapsed Time] / [Total Time]."  This, however, displays as "0:03   4:12" instead of "0:03 / 4:12" (i.e. no slash.)  The only way to get the slash to show up is to add a SECOND slash (i.e. "[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time]") in which case a single slash shows up.

Same problem as in 11.1.113:

I have a problem that I first noticed in 11.1.111. When I browsing down through rows of thumbnails, fewer and fewer thumbnails are visibile in each row. For the first 8 rows, all thumbnails are visible. After that progressively more are mising until by about row 20 none are display. If I click on a blank spot in a row, a blue square is display. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as deleting all of the thumnails and rebuilding. Only occurs if medium or large thumbnails used.

[Matt]

Could someone with the missing thumbnails send a screenshot to matt at jriver dot com?  Thanks.

[Pink Waters]

Added the ability to hot-swap language files to the Tools > Language menu.

If there is interest for supporting arabic language for the west side regions.. I can help.

"Fixed: Importing DVD movies from hard disk not working correctly."

I have a network drive with video files. MC imports them okay, but won't let me play dvd files. I don't get the "red x" either. It says they are there but gives me a location error.

Avi's and the like play great.

MC is also re-importing the same 672 files every time I Import Media (just did it 5x's in a row). In Depth summary is showing DVD files being re-importing as "new" although already in library.

Tree > playlists > playlist groups

When right clicking playlist groups for the first time, it can take a good 10 - 15 seconds for the menu to show. There's also something wierd going on with drag and drop.

I moved a smartlist from one group to another, then right clicked the smartlists' new parent. MC froze for quite some time, then politely informed me of where it had exported all my playlists to! I can't get it to do that again, but the massive right click delay after moving, then right click on parent is 100% repeatable.

[Uwe]

When opening an audio directory in Theatre View, there is a delay from 3 to 4 seconds. This delay also apears after opening ("open") this path or selecting an album. This effect attends since 11.1. only on my 633 MHz Jukebox. V. 11.0 acts normal.

After switching off the PC and starting it again with MC there's an Errorbox (Last shutdown....). I know, you change this behavior that this box only pops up every 2 or 3 time. I can't switch this box off without a keyboard or a mouse(Normally i don't have it at this place). Please disable this box like in 11.0.

Theese two things are the main reason why i do not switch from 11.0316 to 11.1 with my Jukebox
Thanks Uwe

VCD's - if VCD has more than one clip - MC can only play the first clip

[NickM]

Not sure which build this started on, but the repeat timer for key press with a remote control has changed.  Previously, the default 300ms worked fine.  Now 100ms will not produce a smooth scroll (just individual presses) and 50ms produces a jump of two lines at a time.

11. Fixed: In the library header navigation bar, the word "File" could get replaced by "Pane" in some cases.

Thanks for this - Now is there any chance you will address the thumbnail text in the library view?  I view a filename(path) view of my library, and all of the tiles display (for example) "C:\My Documents\Music...".

This is true even if I set it to large tiles.  Ideally, I would like to customize it to display/format album name, etc, like in panes view - but if we could it least get it to wrap to display the full path, that would be great.

[coolblue]

Still seeing the problem where cover art is "sticking" when a subsequent audio file doesn't have cover art. I can provide a screenshot if needed.
