Media Center 11.1.168
« on: April 07, 2006, 10:14:11 am »

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.  MC11.1 is a free upgrade from MC11.0. 

If you're new to MC11, please use the build from our download page here:
http://www.jrmediacenter.com/download.html

This latest build (usually safe) of MC11.1 is here:
[ build pulled by JimH for problems listed below - please use build 167 in the meantime ]

11.1.168 (4/7/2006)

1. Fixed: Launching Media Center while Media Server or Media Center was already running could cause a crash.
2. Fixed: Package Installer (Check for Updates, skin installation, etc.) would exit with an error.
3. Fixed: Tagging mode would reset list selections after making a change.
4. Fixed: Refresh (F5) wouldn't properly preserve the file list state in pane mode.
5. Fixed: With skin effects enabled, button text could appear the wrong color on the over and down states.

11.1.167 (4/6/2006)

1. New: Added new method of scanning DVB-T channels (experimental).
2. Fixed: Using the shell extensions could (still) leave JRTools.dll locked.
3. Fixed: Ogg file ripping was leaving temp files around and not updating tags.
4. Changed: Added ability to turn off many more features in Options > General > Advanced > Features.

11.1.166 (4/6/2006)

1. Fixed: Using the shell extensions could leave JRTools.dll locked, requiring a reboot to install.
2. Changed: With bidirectional pane filtering, picking "All" on a previously filtered pane wouldn't update the list as expected.
3. Changed: Library grouping views have bidirectional links making them work much like the new pane system. (navigation circles no longer possible)
4. Fixed: View scheme editing now shows (translated) field display names instead of internal names.
5. NEW: Filtering in both directions is now a per view scheme option. (only on for image views by default)
6. Changed: Database format upgraded to support bidirectional filtering.  Old Media Centers will not be able to load databases from this version.
7. Changed: More DVB-T graph-building tweaks, to avoid crashes with some devices.
8. Fixed: Some "Options" buttons in view headers were still not translatable.
9. Fixed: If a file failed to play with the QuickTime engine, it could cause a crash.

I can't see any improvement in #5.  Hovering over dialogue box buttons in Aruba/ Negative, the white text turns to black, the same color as the button, FWIW.

Sorry to keep dumping on this great program, but  this bug seems pretty serious/bizarre. 
MC 11.1.168 is crashing windows explorer.  Running win2k with shell expensions enabled, .168 causes the eplorer window(s) to zap into hyperspace when you select a track (flac) and select media center menu options.  Reverted to .167, no such issue.  Restarted and installed .168 again, same issue.  No using .167 without any problem.

I am noticing the same problem as jgreen but different context.

With 168 installed (doesn't even have to be running) I right-click a shortcut on my desktop and explorer dies (no message, but all my desktop icons vanish) then reappear.

Uninstall, problem disappears.

I updated from 165 - I'll drop back to 167 which seems to work for jgreen.

Edit (update): 167 does *not* have this problem.

We'll start again Monday.  Have a nice weekend.

I'm locking this now since there is no point in reporting bugs.
