12.0.210 (04/09/07)

2. Fixed: Title bar (for Name, Album, etc.) was not being set correctly during Play and while Stopped (bug introduced in 12.0.208).

[JimH]

3. NEW: Added Interface Plugin info to the System Info.
4. Fixed: Smartlist Editor: Smartlist name change can revert back to the original name while editing rules/modifiers.
5. Fixed: Smartlist Editor: Smartlist import rules control wasn't wrapping text so long rules were getting truncated.
6. Changed: Removed the generation tag (1G, 2G, 3G, 4G) from iPod device names (users were confusing it with capacity).

7. Fixed: Possible leak while analyzing DirectShow videos.
8. Fixed: Package installer command line incorrectly parsed.
9. Fixed: Contrast value drifted to lower value between sessions.
10. Changed: Key combination for adjusting video proc amp values in TV are changed from Ctrl+Shift+left/right Arrow to Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down Arrows, to avoid conflict with seeking/jumping functions.
11. Changed: DirectShow and QuickTime file analysis (importing, updating from tags, etc.) runs in JRThumb.exe to shield Media Center against bad filters.
12. Fixed: A leak when analyzing JMX files.
13. Changed: Reworked how videos are analyzed on import so that they all use the full MC DirectX engine. (previously some types would get analyzed with a different method)

Theater View plug-ins are here:
http://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/TheaterViewPlugins.mjp

You will need to add the plugins to Theater View in Options > Theater View > Add after installing them.

Installing this version gave me an error message:

Install wizard could not copy files to the destination folder.

Please insure that the file 'C:\Program Files\JRiver\Media Center 12\JRReader.dll' is not in use.

A reboot was required to facilitate the install although MC12 had been shut-down prior to the install being initiated and was NOT running.


This also occurred on my laptop, same message even though I am fairly certain that MC12 had not been run since last reboot on this machine.   ?

This occurred due to one of the builds between 207 and 219.  To get around this, you need to reboot, then install MC BEFORE doing ANYTHING else.  To do this, you'll need to put the installer on the desktop before you reboot.  Once you're back at the desktop, run the installer without doing anything else in Windows (in particular, without opening Windows Explorer.).

The install should work at this point.  You'll only have to do this once -- installation of subsequent builds should work normally once again after this.

13. Changed: Theater View titlebar honors the overscan setting.

This doesn't seem to be the case for me.

[lalittle]

A couple Theater View bugs:

1)

13. Changed: Theater View titlebar honors the overscan setting.

This is not working here -- the title bar is unaffected by the overscan setting.

2) The "Exit" menu is too small to contain anything more than "yes" at the resolution/overscan settings I'm trying.  It appears that this popup menu is trying to maintain too much space around itself, and is therefore sizing too small, resulting in way too little information being displayed.  There is plenty of extra room around the popup (as well as other popups like "Views") that could be used to make the popup larger.

Thanks,

Larry

12.0.219 (4/23/07)

10. NEW: Theater View search keyboard allows typing with the keyboard.

Space don't work as space should in the search field. It starts playing the first result, selected track or the first item in Playing now. This is a common error of about ALL of the left side buttons in Theater View. Really annoying when you hit the wrong button. It can't be only me that thinks it's agains logic to start playing when hitting "back", "stop", "save to playlist" and even the search keys with space.

I also think that Playing Now starts to look like my girl friend's room after 12 weeks of not using her wardrobe/closet.
There absolutely have to be implemented a option to hide/show buttons in Playing Now under Option > Theater View. Like there are today for the main screen.

And one other thing. Are there something fishy with the autoinstall of Theater View plugin (under Plugin Manager > Theater View)?
It looks like it installs right. It ends up under Theater View (Weather and rss) all right, but there are nothing under "Options > Theater View > Items to show", or under Theater View it self. Wrong version or something?

[vine-au]

Take a look my first post in this thread (above) for instructions on how to get the install to work.

Is the solution I posted not working?  That's the second post about this issue AFTER I posted the solution.

Nice one. I'm going to add it to my handbook of excuses, if you don't mind.

No problem.  It just had me wondering if there was a different issue in effect, and that the process was no longer working.

[jmmttu77]

The back button from the playing now screen in theater view has been fixed!!!  It no longer sends ya back to the home page.  You guys kick ass!!!  Thanks!

Edit:  Eh, I spoke too soon.  After selecting "jump to playing now" (which is what I would like), the back button still kicks ya back home instead of to where you were previously at.  Shucky darn...

[DWAnderson]

When media center is being run is ReadOnly mode, e.g. when another instance has the right to write to the library, Auto Downloads of podcasts should be disabled by default. As things are now, unless this is manually reset each time when running MC, multiple instances of MC will try to download the same podcast. Alternatively, maybe this setting could be linked to the versions of MC installed on individual PCs so that only one was set up to download podcasts.

[ThoBar]

Related to:

2) The "Exit" menu is too small to contain anything more than "yes" at the resolution/overscan settings I'm trying.  It appears that this popup menu is trying to maintain too much space around itself, and is therefore sizing too small, resulting in way too little information being displayed.  There is plenty of extra room around the popup (as well as other popups like "Views") that could be used to make the popup larger.

The "Views" pop-up is too large at 848x480. It, and RSS, Weather and possibly a few spots I havent found yet, do not honour the scaling under "Options -> Theater View -> Size". At this resolution, I am lucky to be able to see one full line in the menus presented.

I really like the new "Views" menu BTW... much nicer.

C.
PS. 848x480 is all I can get my ol' CRT WS TV to work at (in widescreen), so I'm stuck there....

I posted about this a few builds back in the beta forum.  I noticed that my Library Server client was downloading podcasts for feeds that were set up on the server, and that it was re-downloading all the same files every time the client was started.  It hasn't been fixed yet, but someone from JR posted saying they would look into this.

I am using the Pixos skin with effect 'negative'.
In some cases the text is unreadable: black on black or white on white.
For example in the new edit smartlist screen.

If I try to play a DVD from Theater View when not connected to the internet, I get a "Working" dialog displayed over Theater View that never goes away.  I see Theater View display an error message about not being able to connect to the server but the "Working" dialog never goes away even when I click cancel.  I then have to Ctrl+Alt+del to kill MC.

With a full load of net traffic up & down...disabling PlayingNow w/ Plugin Manager (while it is attempting to FTP upload) will close MC completely without warning or windows error message.
