5. Fixed: Scrollbar in Tag > Format page wouldn't always work.
6. Changed: Darkened disabled menu color text of Noire skin.
7. NEW: Combobox look-n-feel is completely determined by the skin instead of using Windows borders. (please report any droplist / combobox strageness)

6. Fixed: Drop down menus would randomly appear way too "skinny".

This (and this too) seem to be fixed on my system.  Good bug hunting!

1. Fixed: Starting TV by clicking "TV Tuner" tool button did not work.

Thanks.

1. NEW: New DVB-T digital TV channel scanning method. Australia and UK users please test.

Doesn't seem to work at all.

Using Hauppauge HVR-1100. It is detected fine, watching the composite input works fine, can watch tv fine in other apps.

Scanning says "Signal Strength: 0" and stops after a minute or so.

I asked it to log 'TV', but after doing stuff in the TV section the log file is still empty.

I'm a UK user.

[Rob L]

Hm, that's not what I'm getting - for me, it sits there with "Please wait..." bouncing (Ok, slowly bouncing) back and forth, with below it "Scanning for available channels. 00% done". Signal strength is constantly at 0.

It's been doing that for about 15 minutes now, and I presume I'm going to have to stop the scan (since it's not changing from 00%!)

The device is apparently an AVerMedia Hybrid TV Tuner Card A16C.

I say 'apparently' because it's integrated into my Vaio Windows Media Center PC...

I don't think that's a DVB-T device.

[Jaguu]

Woah! Extremely fast release!
Thin Right-click menu fixed!
No more TV tuner crashes so far!

[Rob L]

I don't think that's a DVB-T device.

No, it is, really, honest.

It's only hybrid in that it's got analog and DVB-T. MC can already see the analog tuner, and it can see the DVB tuner too, it just isn't tuning it properly...

Because it was scanning at the time, I couldn't get to the description in MC, but MC reports it as:
AVerMedia BDA DVBT Tuner

Actually that's exactly what I'm getting. It only stopped after a minute once - I may have even clicked stop scan accidentally

Hmm... my Hauppauge HVR 1100 is also an analogue/DVB-T hybrid... maybe a coincidence, maybe a cause?

[Yaobing]

Did you remember to check "Output to a log file"?

[Yaobing]

That should not be a problem. Most devices are hybrids, with both analog and digital tuners. Someone has a Dvico device that has a NTSC analog tuner but DVB-T digital tuner in Australia. That analog tuner would not be useful.

[enervation]

  ........ can't believe I made such a noobish mistake 

TV logs of a dvb-t channel scan

[Yaobing]

I was just going to say "don't bother with logging yet"...

Oh it is so embarrassing . I forgot to increment the loop index, so it was trying the first frequency over and over.

Please wait until the next build to try again.

[glynor]

Code: [Select]

i += 1
Heh heh.  Can happen to anyone (and has to me more times than I'd like to admit)... 

Just blame it on being distracted over all the excitement over Matt's new baby!

Hi!

I have been observing that MC's GUi would not respond after playing several songs.
So far I could not fin any paatern ob what the cause might be.
I can still use MC party over the tray icon but I can do nothing when the window is open.
Any suggestions?

[dcwebman]

Reproduce bug:
1. Go to Playing Now.
2. Go to Audio main button.
3. No matter whether you are in Genres, Artists, or Albums, right-clicking on an album does not bring up the context menu.
4. Switch to another view, i.e. Genres, Artists, or Albums and the right-click works there. Go back to the previous view and it works now.

This also was fixed in this build.

Mastiff seems to be having a similar issue.  See here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=37570.0

[GHammer]

I have not seen the non-responsive GUI, but I do see that MC takes a very long time to restore from the tray. It becomes rather 'sluggish' to operate in general afterward. Music plays fine during this time though.

Minor issue when Burning:

-Select Burn CD from AW
-Select Audio CD (I have a live concert composed of 48 tracks that I will be burning onto 3 cds, 1 at a time)
-Right Click and select "Burn Settings"
-Click Cross fade and DSP effects settings button
-Select "Gapless" (This is a live show after all)
-Burn CD

All is good.  One down.
It used to be that I could just burn the next 2 disks, and be assured the same settings were used.
Now however:
-Return to Burn Settings/Cross-fade Settings
-The "Transition Between Tracks" selection seems not to be retained between burn like it used to.
-The text at the bottom still says "Gap: Gapless" But the selection box now shows "Cross-fade (Aggressive)"

So it may not have actually changed - but it sure scared me and looks like it did.....

[jgreen]

Just an observation:

Previous 5 or so builds had been whopping slow doing an "Is There" analysis.  Like 10x slower.  Wild card in this is that previously 60% of files were "yes", now 30% of files are "Yes." 

However, this build is speedy again.  "Is There" where only 30% of files are "Yes" seems proportionally fast when compared to an analysis where ^0% of files are "Yes". 

Hopes this helps/makes sense.

hi!

MC builds just fine and very fast, it just doesnt respond to any give command over the GUI - even not after minutes have passed.
Music though plays fine.
I have the feeling that it has something to do with playing ogg and m4a file, maybe switching between them.
If I find out I let u guys know

One other suggestion:
On the left panel where there are "Audio" "Pictures" and "Movies" on top to select the area you like,
it would be very cool if these options would always stay visible to enable faster switching between those modes.
right no if I open the Playlist I always have t scroll up to change the mode again - kind of annoying.
