1. Fixed: Album analyzer could mark incomplete albums as complete.
2. Fixed: Playlist import of image files would not work properly.
3. Fixed: When importing an MPL where tags didn't need to be analyzed, in some cases tags would still be read.
4. Changed: Devices named "Removable Disk" (normally a memory reader) will not use WMDM by default.
5. Optimized: WMDM transfers are more efficient when transferring sequential files to the same folder / album. (for example, makes Zen V transfers of full albums over 50% faster)
6. Fixed: Audible playback wouldn't properly show the activation dialog on an unactivated machine.
7. Fixed: Image keyboard shortcuts wouldn't work properly when audio was playing at the same time.
8. Changed: "Play All" won't appear in the Theater View menu in Playing Now or when making a selection.
9. Fixed: Podcasts on a handheld could show up in the main Podcasts view.
10. Fixed: Theater View page up and page down wouldn't always work properly.
11. Changed: MC's My Computer > Right-click > Import Into Library... now shows progress instead of being silent.
12. Fixed: Track Info visualizations would steal the keyboard focus on playback start, and track changes.
13. Changed: Removed Theater View "Keep focus" setting and instead automatically keep focus while Media Center is the focused application, but stop grabbing focus on application switch.
14. Fixed: Smartlist Editor bugs for rules involving File Size, Sample Rate and Peak Level fields.
12.0.250 (6/01/07)
1. Fixed: Fixed a small visual glitch in Theater View.
12.0.249 (6/01/07)
1. NEW: In Theater View, the numbers will act like a phone keyboard and seek to items starting with the corresponding letter. (pressing the same button will roll through letters)
2. NEW: In Theater View, the number '1' will seek to the top of a list and '0' will seek to the end. (since no letter correspond to these keys)
3. Changed: JRWorker.exe more forcibly closes itself to better handle device drivers that don't nicely handle shutdown.
4. Changed: Automatic Shuffle mode will shuffle playback of an artist with multiple albums. (but not playback of a single album)
5. Changed: Album analyzer wouldn't recognize a multi-disc album split across multiple folders as complete.
6. Changed: Reworked how the Theater View playback menu works. (menu contains play, last selection, and more -- the last selection used command is always at the top / available with double-enter)
7. Changed: Theater View Lineup lists won't draw file information at the top right of a lineup item unless it fits comfortably. (before it looked crowded at 640x480, etc.)
8. NEW: Theater View skins can customize popup menu sizes. (spacing and item internal padding)
9. NEW: MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_OSD_VIDEO_PROC_AMP and MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_CUR_VIDEO_PROC_AMP commands (previously called MCC_TV_OSD_VIDEO_PROC_AMP and MCC_TV_SET_CUR_VIDEO_PROC_AMP) are now available for DVD and video playback. Keyboard shortcuts are Ctrl+Shift+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Up/Down Arrow.
10. Changed: Loading a library is now available with MCC_LOAD_LIBRARY so that it can be fired from a remote, keyboard shortcut, etc.
11. NEW: Media Center launcher can be used to switch monitor layout, configuration, etc. which is useful for theater configurations. (run MC12.exe /MonitorSwitch for instructions)
12. NEW: Keyboard shortcuts can use the Windows (Win) key.
13. NEW: MCE remote control "Record" button now supported in MC.
14. Changed: MC does not automatically switch to details view when a download starts (from audible.com for example).
15. NEW: TV supports internal volume for devices that allow it.
16. Optimized: Several optimizations to Lineup Theater View lists.
17. NEW: Theater View file lists have an independent list style setting from grouping (genre, artist, etc.) views instead of being automatically selected.
12.0.248 (5/30/07)
1. Changed: Revised the experimental connect to mapped shares code to work better with some shares. (Ctrl+Shift+T for now)
2. Fixed: The "Years" view in Theater View > Images didn't work properly.
3. Changed: Album analyzer does more sophisticated analysis of multi-disc albums to support more naming / numbering models and to also better catch duplicate track numbers, etc.
4. Changed: Album analyzer treats all discs of a multi-disc set as one album for the album replay gain value. (assuming they live in the same folder on the hard drive)
5. Changed: The value of the command MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_ASPECT_RATIO is changed to 28022.
6. Changed: MCC_TV_OSD_CYCLE_VIDEO_PROC_AMP is renamed MCC_TV_OSD_VIDEO_PROC_AMP (value is not changed, 28020) and it now takes a parameter (index 0. 1, 2, etc, -1 cycles).
7. Changed: MCC_TV_INCR_CUR_VIDEO_PROC_AMP (28021) and
MCC_TV_DECR_CUR_VIDEO_PROC_AMP (28022) are combined into one command MCC_TV_SET_CUR_VIDEO_PROC_AMP (28021) that takes a parameter (int nStep).
12.0.247 (5/30/07)
1. Fixed: JRWorker didn't work with build 246. (intentional crash testing code got compiled in)
2. Changed: Added experimental Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut to connect any unconnected mapped network drives. (experiment -- may not work / may not remain)
12.0.246 (5/30/07)
1. Changed: Renamed Theater View command "Open" to "Show" to look inside of a grouping.
2. Fixed: Building thumbnails during Auto-Import could cause a crash.
3. Fixed: In Theater View Playing Now with Lineup lists, the title of the playing song would get cut off.
4. Fixed: Deadlock during importing of some video files with certain decoder filters.
5. Changed: Theater View's Lineup view shows the folder, etc. icon for view schemes or other items with no art.
6. Changed: Improved how DVD and TV detect monitor changes so that they can nicely handle restarting the player in these cases.
7. Changed: An album of one file with a track number of "1" will no be consider complete if it's the only audio file in its directory.
8. Changed: Album analyzer nicely supports multidisc track numbering where disc two's track numbers start where disc one leaves off.
