ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111156.exe

11.1.156 (3/28/2006)

1. Optimized: Improved performance of image playback and reduced memory usage.
2. Changed: "Disc #" is mapped to the ID3v2 field "TPOS", or "Part of a set" frame.
3. Changed: Revised the no tile image used in library views.
4. Fixed: "Album Thumbnails" erroneously showed up under grouped library views.
5. Changed: Right-click display menu configuration items no longer apply English capitalization rules to be more translation friendly.
6. Fixed: Playback of images with transparency did not properly handle zooming in and out.
7. Changed: Media Center builds higher quality thumbnails. (use Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Erase all thumbnails... to force MC to rebuild)
8. Changed: Added an optional server name to the TiVo Server.
9. Fixed: Unable to play Audible file after previous playing to end of file.
10. Chagned: Text size is no longer part of the thumbnail size setting. (but is instead added to the height automatically depending on how many lines of text are showing)
11. Changed: The incomplete shutdown dialog is no longer shown when a debugger is bound to the Media Center process.
12. Chagned: Added a "Don't show again" checkbox to the incomplete shutdown dialog.
13. Changed: Added auto-re-sharing if the PerbCaster Directory restarts.
14. NEW: When in thumbnail modes, a thumbnail size slider appears in the view header.
15. Optimized: Changing thumbnail sizes is much faster.

11.1.155 (3/27/2006)

1. Changed: Improved how view headers look when skin effects are applied. (i.e. negative, old fashinoned, etc.)
2. Fixed: When showing a file list below tiles, it could appear not scrolled to the top.
3. Changed: When searching in a library view, all files for the view scheme are searched. (instead of combining panes / grouping filters with the search)
4. Changed: In Library views, the optional alphabet will only appear when there are 10 or more items in the list.
5. Changed: Auto-import on playback in options no longer applies to remote files. (http://, etc.)
6. Changed: Using the tree to navigate the library would reset that view scheme back to "Panes" on the next visit.
7.  New: MC creates thumbnails for Quicktime video (e.g. .MOV) (Requires Quicktime installation).
8. Fixed: The UPnP Server is smarter about ports, working better with clients unable to cope with port changes.
9. Fixed: The UPnP Server would not handle byte ranges longer than the file.
10. Fixed: The UPnP Server was providing the wrong content length header for byte ranges.
11. Fixed: MC crashed in split view when you opened two Podcast browsers.
12. Fixed: Podcast browsers headers were sometimes inconsistent with the Favorites list.
13. Fixed: Podcast browser one-click subscriptions downloaded one episode by default. (Zero is correct)
14. Fixed: Podcast browser one-click subscriptions were sometimes lost after shutdown/restart.
15. Fixed: Perbcasts and Podcasts did not properly recognize the *.mov extension.

11.1.154 (3/26/2006)

1. Fixed: The "Options" drop menu in Panes view was empty.
2. Changed: Removed the "Save View" option in Customize Current View. (too ambiguous and not too useful with newer library view system)
3. Changed: When switching library views to Genres, Artists, etc., the list will get the keyboard focus so Ctrl+A, left, right, etc. work without a click.
4. Changed: The optional alphabet above library views is now translatable.
5. Changed: Removed option to show bi-directional links under library tiles. (creates confusing link circles)
6. Changed: View header windows grey-out when they aren't the current view in a split view configuration.
7. Fixed: The UPnP Server omitted the content type header in the device description.
8. Changed: Further revision to how showing files at the bottom of a library view works. (pick "Always Show Files" in bottom file list Options menu to keep the list visible)
9. Changed: Updated the German translation file. (thanks ByteStar)

Seems as though horizontal sliders are scrunched up.

-EDIT-

Thought I'd add an example. Those always help.

Scrunched Sliders

[datdude]

Should MC even show the field links menu at the top? When selecting one you can't see the rest of the links in each tile, maybe just simply drill down and then start over?

3. Changed: Revised the no tile image used in library views.

To totally grey ..........  ?  (Using Pixos - Negative)

In the normal mode (no effect) it looks better because of the shaded edge. But still it is a somewhat boring tile to my opinion.

[Dutch Peter]

14. NEW: When in thumbnail modes, a thumbnail size slider appears in the view header.

Great. It would be very convenient if the slider (when used) would indicate the size, number of thumbs horizontally in window, or ...

Now, it feels like a gamble to set the same size for all views.

[Pink Waters]

in the option drop list in library view, the space slider modifies size of thumbnails too

when i was trying to paste coverarts for movie files, I noticed that it saves them to the cover art directory in a form like that : - 14_10_2005 .. and that made some overwrite eachothers

another thing which i noticed:
I have 2 movie parts for 1 film, with the same cover art, and have the main film name under the field "Comment" , when i browsed it in the library browser with thumbnails it showed me 2 stacks !!

[David_1cog]

The full height of the alphabet links are not clickable - i.e. only the top two thirds of each letter can be clicked.

[Mr ChriZ]

On Artists view, if you take a new album with
no image, then paste an image in from the net,
the windmill effect shows up two covers, however
only one is present.  Moving away from the
view and back again causes just one image to be
shown.

9. Fixed: Unable to play Audible file after previous playing to end of file.

Thanks!  I only tested this a little bit, but so far I have not yet seen the "incorrect time counter" bug with this build.  I'll report back if I see this again, but I'm hoping that the two issues were related (which is my gut feeling on this) and that this fix applies to both issues (as was speculated in the 155 thread.)

Thanks again,

Larry

When I click 'Locate > Artist', I get the base Audio view scheme, with the artist in question in the search bar - all as expected. However, when I then click an entry in any of the panes under that artist, the name disappears from the search bar, and if I click 'back', the name reappears in the search bar. I noticed this in v155 and just upgraded and it's still happening in 156

[lalittle]

If an iPod is connected to the system while Audible files are moved with the "Rename files" tool, these Audible files are considered "missing" from the next sync -- i.e. MC cannot sync these files to the iPod even though the files ARE present and MC can "play" the files.  The "Re-check Sync" button does NOT fix the issue -- the iPod must be ejected/reconnected or MC must be fully closed/re-launched in order for MC to stop saying these files are "missing" from the sync.  This issue does not occur if the iPod is connected AFTER the files are moved.

For more details on this, please see this post:

MC isn't handling filenames with special characters in them correctly.

For instance...

Running the Import Media tool fails to import files from folders named Queensr˙che and Mötley Crüe. If I open Explorer and go to the album subfolders for these artists, I can right click and choose Media Center -> Import and then they are imported.

But...

I'm using APL files for these and MC isn't populating the fields with data from the APLs. I've had to refill them all in by hand.

And then...

MC won't play any of these files. The full album APEs themselves play fine.

All of these albums were ripped using MC in autorip mode and set to create one album APE + CUE file. All other albums I've ripped in this same way work perfectly in MC.

10. Chagned: Text size is no longer part of the thumbnail size setting. (but is instead added to the height automatically depending on how many lines of text are showing)

not sure why this was changed, i noticed that now all my text under my album thumbnails is being cut off if the duration length is over an hour, ie 1:08:54 as opposed to 32:65. For some reason it doesn't fit my thumbnails anymore and it gets whacked thus i had to resize all my thumbnails slighlty bigger to get all the text visible.

Having problems with sync to Pocket PC.

Tracks are deleted and re-synced for no apparent reason although I think it has to do with the writing or re-writing of the mc.dic file.

Currently there doesn't seem to be an mc.dic file, as I was told to delete it as a test. I expected it to be re-created, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Can anyone at JRiver test by deleting the mc.dic file and see if it's re-created, and under what circumstances?

I'd love to be able to get this working properly, as I'd use it alot.

Thanks,
Kwake

BUG:

The Thumb slider is a great idea! But ufortunalty onls works properly for square thumbs (ie CD Covers)

If used with rectacle thumbs (DVD covers), the slider defaults the thumbs to go back into square settings...

Thanks
