Media Center 11.1.142
« on: March 09, 2006, 05:12:19 pm »

This is the latest version of MC 11.1.  Your MC11.0 license will work with it.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

PRICES for MC11.0 and 11.1 are here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=23311

This latest build of MC11.1 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111142.exe

11.1.142 (3/9/2006)

1. Fixed: DVR-MS files were imported as audio.
2. Changed: Tiles use the full size when the stack contains one or less images.
3. Changed: Each time the program runs, a different image will be used for top image on a stack of images.
4. Changed: Updated Spanish translation. (thanks ferent)
5. Changed: When building thumbnails for a stack, all the top images will get built before working on underneath images.
6. Changed: Updated the German translation. (thanks bytestar)
7. Changed: Boxes no longer drawn around thumbnails.
8. Fixed: Under very rare circumstances, the media servers would prevent Media Center from shutting down.
9. Fixed: Switching views from the right-click of the library header bar could cause a crash.

11.1.141 (3/8/2006)

1. Fixed: Third party plugins (G-Force, etc.) could fight with cover art loading for the playing file, causing no art to appear.
2. Fixed: Blank lines in customized thumbnail text were not properly supported.
3. Changed: MC TV ignores analog device initialization failures if a digital TV device is present, so the users can continue using the digital device.
4. Changed: When cycling through a stack of tile images, the rotation order would appear strange when the thumbs hadn't been built. (1; 1,2; 1,2,3; 1,2,3,4; etc.)
5. NEW: Library tiles and view header images show many images as a pile of images. (instead of one totally covering the others)
6. Fixed: In some cases, playback would not automatically skip missing files.
7. Fixed: When editing a view scheme, saving "To All Locations" and "To Similar Locations" not working correctly.

11.1.140 (3/7/2006)

1. Changed: Updated Spanish translation. (thanks ferent)
2. Changed: Updated Portuguese translation. (thanks ChicoSelfs)
3. NEW: LAME gapless information is reported in Action Window > File Properties > File Type Info.
4. Changed: Use shorter descriptions for fields in Action Window > File Properties > File Type Info > MP3.
5. Fixed: In some cases, when Windows hid the mouse cursor during data entry, it wouldn't appear back right away as soon as the mouse was moved.
6. Fixed: The "Play" button on the view header would not work properly with a list that was in album grouping mode.
7. Changed: Increased the default buffer size for DirectSound playback. (NOTE: if you get clicks during playback, please increase buffering or switch modes in Options > Playback)
8. Fixed: The player core could dead-lock if an error was raised in certain circumstances.
9. Fixed: The analyze audio option in CD ripping wasn't working.
10. Fixed: "Sync all" option for portable devices was not creating all playlists on the device.
11. Fixed: We were not computing Podcast directory free space properly on Windows 2000.  This made it impossible to download anything.
12. Changed: We now bring Media Center to the front for one-click Podcast subscriptions.
13. Fixed: The escape key and apps/menu button wouldn't work with all display plugins from fullscreen.
14. Fixed: Gapless MP3 playback would not properly account for the decoder delay at the end of the file -- causing a possible pop.
15. Fixed: If Media Center ran out of disk space or encountered a memory error while saving a database field, the field could become corrupted.
16. Fixed: Adding a library entry now has a correct picklist.
17. Fixed: Get image from internet dialog now "picks" the default options.
18. Changed: Mime Types for content from Library Server now reflect the actual type insead of a Media Center application type.
19. Changed: "Feed URL" and "Episode URL" are no longer "user" fields.
20. Changed: Podcast Episode suffixes .mpg and .mpeg are now interpreted as media type video.

1) If you're accessing files via the Media Server, the "File Type Info" in the Actions Window just says "n/a" for everything.  For some reason, this info screen doesn't work over Media Server.

2) In the "Player" info (i.e. the title, time remain, etc. at the top of the screen) the slashes (i.e. "/") don't appear unless you use 2 of them in a row.  In other words, if you want the display to look like this:

"0:11 / 2:13"

you have to configure the display like this:

[Elapsed Time] // [Total Time]

Any "single" slash is ignored.  For example, if you configure the display like this:

"1 / / / / / 2"

You'll end up seeing this:

"1      2"


Thanks,

Larry

I'm still getting grey titles for the tiles even though album art should display for them. Leaving the view and coming back helps to populate some of them.

I Think i found a bug with the german Translation, and this is not spell related.

If i choose the german language, the OnDobbleklick option is komplete disabled. I mean, if i click on a audio file, MC add only this one file to toe now playing.     Regardless of which option is enabled, MC is only Playing the file im klicked on it.

If i return to english, all options work perfectly...

I hope my bad English not soo incomprehensible.

Larry,

Slash is the escape character for display templates.  There's more information in the reply from last time you reported this.

Thanks.

Matt,

Thanks -- I found the information you're referring to.  It actually wasn't a response to one of MY posts -- it was a response to somebody else asking a related question.  After some searching I was able to find the thread (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=31207.0), and it does in fact explain this.

You might consider changing the default "display configuration" since it still uses a single slash, but NOT as an "escacpe character."  The current default seems to be a holdover from before when a single slash DID show up as a character.  At the moment, the single slash in the default display configuration is serving no purpose.

Thanks again,

Larry

Tested with 11.1.141 - Tried to make a CD MP3 compilation, with folder structure and think i hit two problems (possibly related tho)

1) As i was dropping files on to the burn action window, it was reporting that the file sizes were too big (some files were FLAC's that i'd requested to be converted to MP3 when it created the disc). Obviously before converting the FLAC's to MP3 you can't know the exact sizes (unless CBR is chosen?), but an educated guess would be good to indicate whether the files would possibly fit on the disc.

2) The disc wouldn't burn. When it tried to create a temporary image on disc it just hung. The second time i tried it actually reported an error creating the temp image.

Does all that make sense? If you need more info i'll repeat the process and give more detailed feedback. (hey, its early here and i'm rushing to work! :)

Cheers!

Wouldn't it be better to honour the sort option set for the listview?

I have the listview sorted by date so when I go to artists it shows the latest album first.   I think the image stack should represent that and cycle thru the same order as the album order.

Don't know if this is a bug or not but when I:

1)  Click on Audio - Album/Artist in the treeview to get the artist tiles
2)  Select an artist then click "Albums"
3)  Double click on an album to start playing it
4)  Click on "Playing Now" in the treeview
5)  Click on Audio - Album/Artist in the treeview

It shows the artists again and not where I left off.


Is it a bug or is there an option somewhere to get this behaviour?

Playlists seem to completely bypass Access Control settings.

If you have playlists that contain items with Ratings that are excluded in Access Control, those items still show up.

If you click on the "Playlists" tree item, it displays the entire library, even those items that shouldn't be showing up according to Access Control settings.

I don't know if this is a bug, an oversite or a feature, but clicking on ignore articles does not work in theater view.
