2. Fixed: Library Server (and library backups) could fail.
3. Fixed: Podcast downloads would not show a download percentage.
4. Fixed: Some Theater View textures could still appear torn.
5. Changed: Tools that operate on selected files no longer ignore list selection state if the tree is focused. (like rotating images with Playing Now selected)

7. Changed: Theater View searches now include numbers as well as letters. (U2, etc.)
8. Fixed: When editing fields that don't show a drop-list, the text could appear scrolled to the left.

10. Fixed: While editing a field like "People" in the Action Window, keyboard list navigation didn't work nicely.
11. Optimized: Improved how edit controls (and list edit controls) are created to improve speed. (please report any in-place or AW tagging strangeness)

12.0.91 (10/12/06)

1. Fixed: Library Server would only serve a partial library. (introduced in build 90)
2. Changed: Added a couple of tooltips over the TV channels list on "TV Channels" property page.
3. NEW: Options dialog uses faded images for unselected items.
4. Changed: Tuned the coloring used by Noire for Options page selection.
5. Fixed: If "Name" was listed twice in the tag window, editing either would always edit the second one.
6. Fixed: Auto-library upgrade from Media Center 11 was not working properly. (didn't find MC 11 libraries)
7. NEW: Windows Media (wma) streaming buffered for seeking.
8. NEW: User can choose whether to use "Video Mixing Renderer 9" or "Overlay Mixer" to play video.

15. Fixed: Theater View textures (buttons, text, etc.) could look torn through the middle.

12.0.90 (10/11/06)

1. Changed: When picking auto-import with no folders configured, a message will be shown.
2. Changed: Removed "run now" from auto-import options. (since it's in the main menu / toolbar)
3. Changed: Direct3D views (Theater View / 3D visualizations) target the video card where the window first appears. (old video cards may render slowly when switching monitors after this)
4. Fixed: TV recording by Scheduler would fail if the user is currently using TV engine.
5. NEW: If Media Scheduler starts a TV recording task while the user is using TV engine in any zone, MC will ask user to confirm interrupting current activity and starting recording scheduled program.

1. NEW: TV user can configure how much video to retain during time-shifting. The default has been increased from 1.5 hour to 5 hours.

16. Changed: Removed tree gridlines that appeared with some skins.
17. Changed: Changed how toolbar buttons look when they're disabled. (use only text color instead of grayscaling)

3. Fixed: Podcast downloads would not show a download percentage.

Great, thanks!

6. Changed: iPod syncing rules have been changed so that most tag changes will require a file to be re-sync'd.

Cool. Will check!!!!

4. Fixed: Some Theater View textures could still appear torn.

Lookin' good... lookin' Real GOOD!!! Thankyou very much. The fonts still look a little ordinary on one of my PCs but each letter apears uniform now at least. I'll put that one down to the old video card.

Now... if only there was a way to turn the background viz off so I could use Theater View on my laptop like I used to In fact, the background viz is stressing this machine out so much that navigating using the arrows can take seconds to happen. The viz is clearly struggling - playing very rough (missing many frames) and sometimes just hanging my system for a second or two at a time.

Thanks again!!!

[LonWar]

Cool. Will check!!!!

What are the tags that it looks for? Or is it just easier to list what it doesn't look at?


Hopefully it's not gonna re sync a file if it has a different Last Played Date, or Play count

The untranslated English version of the field name must be used in expressions.  Is this the problem, or is there something else?

Thanks.

8. Fixed: When editing fields that don't show a drop-list, the text could appear scrolled to the left.

Can you please explain this one? What I think it means, it is still working the same way it has. That is, if I have a long name wider than the tag window and click to edit it, the text is highlighted and the cursor placed at the end of the name so the front of the name can't be seen.

Removing the background texture makes very little (or no) difference in the milliseconds per draw.  I think you're simply bumping the limitation of old hardware to refresh the screen.

Try a simple 3D visualization fullscreen. (like ring creation)  My guess is that it'll be slow, even though there are very few textures.

We want to support old hardware, but also need to be forward-looking.  Most newer cards will take nearly 0% of the CPU in the new Theater View.

As it should be.  If you edit a short name, it will now be fully visible.  Before, even a short name could scroll out of view.

Still there:
When moving the mouse round the filelist (Playing now, Library etc.) the seeking bar, time display and the spectrum analyzer hangs. Sometimes, I'm not able to reproduce it for sure, it playback skips.

Thumbs are fixed.

Thanks

1. Changed: Removed monochrome effect of unselected option pages.

I think this works better now.

2. Fixed: Library Server (and library backups) could fail.

Confirmed that backups are working again.

9. Changed: A field's acceptable values are all listed when tagging. (instead of only values that file has)

Thank you.  This is working great now.

[glynor]

Wow.  Really good build guys.  I like everything here (including those things Larry mentioned just above), and especially my image rotating fix.

3. Fixed: Podcast downloads would not show a download percentage.

I can also confirm that this is fixed.
