In both this and the previous version, if I right-click and select Media Center / Import from the drop-down menu, Focus shifts to Media Center, where nothing appears to happen (ie. NO import takes place). At the same time, my Windows Explorer window vanishes (and in some cases Explorer itself dies - ie. the taska bar etc vanishes for a few seconds while Windows restarts it...)

5. Changed: Tags will no longer be written when in Party Mode.

Really?

Sweeeet!

You need a reboot.  The shell extensions that are being used are from an older build.

[Robert Taylor]

You were absolutely correct Matt. That has indeed fixed the issue...

Thanks.

I didn't receive a prompt to reboot after install (and as this is my work laptop, I don't usually reboot except when neccessary / prompted).

Have a good weekend...

cheers

In window Playing Now, right mouse button
CLEAR Playing Now not correctly translates the word CLEAR remains English.

CD rip does not allow YADB lookup choice for me.

In 'Advanced CD Ripping Settings' I have 'If multiple matches are found, choose the first one' unchecked, but I am not offered the option to choose when more than one exists.

When importing from a windows explorer folder, both when selecting a group of files or when selecting a folder containing files, each track imported gets its own "Recently Imported" playlist, containing only itself.  30 total files =  30 playlists.  Is this intentional?  Is there a setting I'm missing here?

I can't reproduce this using the German language file that shipped with the build.

It has this entry:
Clear Playing Now
Aktuelle Wiedergabe leeren

I can't reproduce this.  Does it depend on the file type?  What if you do "Remove Tags" then "Update Tags (from library)" in case playlist names are somehow saved into the tag. (a file can say it belongs in a playlist but this should only happen with playlist files)

[jgreen]

RE/Duplicate playlists, it occurs with audio files (wav,flac) and jpegs.  First noticed with 11.1.130, although that was also first 11.1.xxx build for me, upgrading from 11.0.xxx.  I have a "recently imported" playlist of my own with custom edit (media type= audio; limit=9999).  Therefore MC recreates the default "Recently Imported" playlist as "Recently Imported (1)", which populates correctly and is unaffected by this.  All additional additional playlists appear after importing and bear ascending numbers: "Recently Imported(2-99,*)".

If I have more info, I'll go ahead and start a new thread.  Thanks.

[Matt]

I have a "recently imported" playlist of my own with custom edit (media type= audio; limit=9999).

Rename your custom playlist to something that won't fight with the stock naming.

[jgreen]

That caught it, thanks.  It was my own playlist named "Recently Imported".  Sorry.

This has been the case for a long time now but;

I have created a custom tag called "Album Rating". It's an integer based tag which can only take the values of 1-5.  In the panes view I have it to show as one of the columns with a grouping of 2. However, when you look at the list entries in that column it only shows two entries; "2" and "4". The "2" entry is represents all 2 and 3 star albums but doesnt reflect that in it's name at all. Hence, it's very confusing.

[bytestar]

The entry is present, but the word "CLEAR" is not translated.
And like the translation looks white I it is by me.

I switched to german on my computer, and there was no word Clear on the dropdown..... Corrupt Language file?   Maybe try reinstalling?

[bytestar]

I give it up, it is my translation and my file.
\German\Language.txt > Line 487 and 488

I know no Japanese however entry am English.
but the error is not reproducible for all others.

9. NEW: Added ability to pick how playlists get saved for drive-style devices. (Options > Handheld > Files & Paths > Playlist Format)

Sincere and multiple thanks for this one!! Now I can synch my laptop music directory using offline folders to my MC pc without having to map a drive to my laptop!
