Media Jukebox 8.0.365
« on: September 06, 2002, 11:22:50 am »

Media Jukebox 8.0.365 is available:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaJukebox8.exe

History:
1. Fixed: Repositioning files in playing now would crash MJ if a file had long comments.
2. Fixed: MP3 plug-in was creating multiple comment and lyrics fields.
3. Fixed: Pressing Settings button in device settings window would give "unavailable with YADB" message.
4. NEW: Updated Id3Lib to newest version (3.8.0)

This seems to have fixed everything I'd seen with the Lyrics.

It also appeared to "batch update" those files will more than 1 Lyrics saved off (but it didn't say anything, and went a lot quicker than I'd have guessed).

Thanks - this makes management of my collection much easier.

Is there any possibility that you can fix the error message that pops up when trying to update tag info with v2 tagging disabled. Or is that something that will take too much to fix. I know its fixed in MJ9 but MJ9 is a loooong way away.

1. Download manager : using DM for the first time in this version, I noticed that the "Current bandwidth" is no longer correctly displayed - downloading with a bandwidth of 900|PLS| kb/s, it reports 0 kb/s.

2. Default image : since I installed this version, the default image is no longer displayed - as a test, I moved the image in an other folder and changed the path to the new folder in the Tree & View Settings -> Nope - not even an MJ Logo displayed.

Posting this here per JimH...

I have a 24" monitor, which means I have plenty of room. I like to use plenty of toolbar icons, with text displayed.  If I select "show text labels" in the toolbar config, the text is dispayled just fine.

However, usually when I launch MJ 8 fresh, the text is "scrunched up" for many of the toolbar icons. You know, "Media Libr..." for "Media Library", "Recently I..." instead of "Recently Imported", and so on.  If I go into toolbar config, and reselect "Show text labels", it's fine again--until I close and relaunch MJ.

This is just a mite bit annoying, since the toolbar has a ton of room, and shouldn't be trying to minimize space usage. Any chance this could get rectified?

I'm running MJ 8.0.365, and I've tried many, many, many builds before it--they all have this issue.

I will gladly second scodan's request. Pay for a perversely large monitor, still get scrunched up interfaces... that's not justice!

Confirmed

The command
mjextman.exe /Play "TREEPATH=Playlists\Moods\Mellow"
used to start MJ if it wasn't running and play the mellow playlist. Now it works OK if MJ is running, otherwise it just starts it but doesn't do anything.

Focus bug still there, but got some more details:
Make sure an internal visualisation is selected.
Clear Playing Now.
Turn off "Jump to Playing Now on playback".
Make sure playback is stopped.
Click on an album or artist on the tree, not an individual track.
Press Return.
Press arrow keys, tab, etc. They don't work.
This is because a new window has opened called "JRiver Playback Engine Window" and has stolen focus. It doesn't show up on the taskbar, but if you press Alt-Tab you can see it. If you close it with Alt-F4, MJ keeps playing but becomes very unstable and often crashes if you try to do anything.
Can you guys reproduce this? I've reported it every build for the last month.

Hello,

In the Download Manager (v. 1.0.124) menu File > Import List File does not work.

BTW, is it possible to drag and drop files in DM?

Thank you,

S:)

cdrmaker,
Crashes are often hardware problems, but try uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling.

I have a file named so:

Give Me Tonight (2000 A.D.) [Hex Hector 2000 A.D. Radio Edit)

If I enter this [[ as a search parameter, the file does not appear, and it seems like it should.

When I request data from a disc in my drive from either CDDB or YADB, MJ crashes after confirming data.

I did a fresh XP/SP1 install, and MJ crashed hard when I tried playing a song before installing the sound card drivers (whoops). Not urgent, but it shouldn't die like it did. It correctly identified that I didn't have proper sound support (twice) and then died hard after closing the dialog box.

Indeed.  I have a shuttle ak31v2 which is a via chipset MB.  MJ will bring win98 or winXP home to a screeching halt if I try to record or play a CD.  It will do the same as soon as the CD tries to lookup in the database.  Personally I am relieving this MB of duty.  Win2K does not even work on it without crashing on its own...Linux works perfectly though

Anyway, I do have a dual celeron bp6 that also has a problem. and even after a fresh reinstall the problem persists.  After I record a CD, if I insert a new CD to record it, when it starts to lookup the CD in cddb, the program will lockup (similar to the win98 issue).  After each cd I simply bounce MJ to avoid this.  This is with 356, I havent tried 365 but i am installing XP pro now so it won't be a consistent test, but if it still happens, Ill send another report...

This revision has the annoying habit of closing while in Mini-me mode when I click on the Stop button.

RazorFace,

What kind of files were you playing when that happened? Did you install WMP 9 on your computer?

I can reproduce the problem but only when I play WMA files and it looks like it's related to the installation of WMP 9.

Insert audio cd.
Play a song.
Press Stop.
Eject the cd.
Press play in MJ.
Prompt appears: "The volume labeled "A Little less Conversation" was not found. Would you like to try again?"

Three alternatives: yes, no, cancel.
Only "cancel" makes the prompt go away, "yes" and "no" does nothing.
Pressing"no" should make it go away.

With the help of Yaobing I sorted out how to make a Pinnacle PCTV Pro card work with MJ8. The scanning for channels found 227 channels (This is for Switzerland with Pal-B).
When I try to give a name to a channel such as "EuroNews" and edit the channel selection, the available selectable numbers stop at 125.

So if I try to edit the line "Channel 160 - # 160" I get "EuroNews - #2". I get the same "#2" for all channels above number 125 messing up the channels. So the selectable numbers should be augmented to say 999.

Also it would be nice that the scanning would recognize channel names automatically as the software that comes with the card does. Also it merges multiple channels of a program into one selecting the one fitting best.

Giving names to some 70 to 80 channels seems a rather tedious task that I rather would like to avoid. Otherwise watching TV with MJ8 works pretty well!

Nikolay,

I was playing an mp3.  Not one I ripped, but one d/led from the net.

I have not installed, nor will I be installing, WMP9.

Nikolay,

I tried a few more things, including different skins, and this is still happening.

  • after playlist completes & MJ is active window MJ closes
  • clicking mini-me toolbar button (no music playing) closes immediately
  • Playlist finishes (but not active window) stays open until focus is brought back to MJ
  • different skins has same effect
  • Unselecting "Make inactive mini-me transparent" has same effect
  • Unselecting "Stay on Top" has same effect

    Just had .365 close out (no error message, just disappeared) during ID3v2 updating.  The file didn't have artist/genre/year/album values, and when it got to 8/10 updating, MJ just vanished.

    I re-opened, reset the properties, and this time they saved properly.

    I still have an MJ crash, hang or error using the recent 8 betas about once a day, on two different machines.  The errors aren't that consistent, although I would say at least half are hangs while in mini-me.
