11.1.137 (3/3/06)

1. NEW: User can select audio decoder to use in HDTV.

5. Fixed: It was possible to create duplicate Podcast database entries.
6. Fixed: Library view scheme grouping of number-style fields was only displaying the first number in the range.
7. Fixed: Library view groupings wouldn't sort properly by "Number of Files" when some files had disc numbers.

19. Changed: "Feed URL" and "Episode URL" are no longer "user" fields.

Why not?  Is there some other way to include imported podcasts with downloaded in the Podcast branch?

All this means is that the user can no longer delete these fields.

14. Fixed: Gapless MP3 playback would not properly account for the decoder delay at the end of the file -- causing a possible pop.

My tests seem to indicate that this has indeed fixed the issue of clicks in mp3 transitions (being discussed in the other thread.)  Thanks so much for not giving up on this.  This is a fantastic addition to MC.

3. NEW: LAME gapless information is reported in Action Window > File Properties > File Type Info.

This info doesn't display when using Media Server.  Is this a bug, or is it a limitation of Media Server?

Thanks,

Larry

thumbnail text:

took a while to figure this out...

When viewing images as thumbnails, and there are 3 lines of thumbnail text configured via "customise current view", if the middle text entry refers to a library field that is empty for some files, all thumbnails for those files vanish!!


click image to see full size

[jgreen]

I can confirm this.  11.1.139.  Diosplaying images as thumnails, 2 lines of text configured in custimize view, where first line is blank but second has data, thumbnail is missing and not recoverable, although image remains, and can be viewed in "image" in action window.  When data is added to mising field, thumbnail magically reappears.  Thank you, Marko.

This bug with G-Force enabled still exists and was never fixed:

1) Start playing ape files with cover art inside the file and G-Force enabled
2) Display cover art in G-Force: Cover art displayed
3) Switch to any other visualization such as track info, cover art, 2D/3D visualizations: default MC logo is now displayed instead of current cover art.

It does not happen with mp3 and wma files! And it does not happen with ape files with external cover art.

It is a minor issue, but still a bug. And it is annoying, especially if you show MC11.1 to other people. If you want MC11.1 to look perfect, it needs to be fixed.

Created a view scheme "TV Channels" with file type = tlvb and fields country, genre, name.

Then I renamed some of the tv channels according to their proper channel names.

Unfortunately they are not saved in the registry in TV settings and after restarting MC11.1 they are gone.

In my opinion view schemes for TV channels does not seem to work!

The TV channels as such work properly, the problem is only with the view scheme.

Also: the first tv channel I use to start the tv is mute. Only after switching a channel and back again I get the voice back.

Not sure on many fronts about this one...

I have one machine with my main APE library and a second library of MP3 (lame normal) and I have the path to the second lib set up as a Handheld Device and I'm using the manual transfer to do the conversion from APE to MP3.

I also have a networked machine doing the same thing, except its Handheld Device is the networked drive back to the location of the MP3 library.

I just drag some tracks (APE) and let 'em rip and check in on them periodically.  All is well until the main machine gets past the 14 min mark of CPU time.  At that point, MC just hangs, I can't even get it to respond but it will respond to a right click on the tray bar icon but it will only exit with an abend.

I've reproed this at least 5 times now since last night, every time, right after it hits the 14 min CPU mark, it just freezes.

Do not rename TV channels in the View.

Rename the channel names in the Scan Channels dialog (TV Options -> TV Channels page -> Analog Chan button / Digital Chan button).
