This is the latest version of MC 12.0.  Any MC12.0 license will work with it.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

This latest build (usually safe) of MC12.0 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/MediaCenter120395.exe

12.0.395 (12/14/2007)

1. Fixed: Typing a search, leaving a view, and coming back would cause the search to still be applied, even without using the back shortcut to preserve view state.

12.0.394 (12/14/2007)

1. Fixed: Keywords wouldn't nest when added to a view scheme until restarting the player.
2. Changed: All list style fields are nestable.
3. NEW: Added expression function ListCombine(List1, List2, Delimiter (optional, defaults to semicolon)) to combine list type fields.
4. NEW: Added "DirectShow Filters" context menu options for TV, including "Copy graph info to clipboard".
5. Fixed: Shutting down the player during a podcast download or handheld transfer could cause a crash.
6. Fixed: When uploading tracks that need to be downloaded, the player could crash if a download error was encountered.

12.0.393 (12/14/2007)

1. Changed: "Use Bitrate Monitor" option for DVD now defaults to FALSE (unchecked).
2. Fixed: Unassigned didn't do anything.

12.0.392 (12/13/2007) (EXPERIMENTAL)

1. NEW: Panes are a tree instead of a flat list for items that support nesting (like playlist groups, file location, etc.).
2. NEW: Keywords can be nested. (use the panes with drag-n-drop or tagging mode to edit)

12.0.391 (12/13/2007)

1. Fixed: When using Media Server, background tasks like the scheduler or library saves would not occur.
2. Changed: Improved how independplaybug945-extremeent searches per tab / split view work. (could be cases where one tab would use search from a different tab, etc.)
3. Fixed: After reordering columns, the list header "Columns" right-click menu would not insert new columns at the location of the right-click.
4. Fixed: In-place editing the panes would show too wide of an edit control.
5. Optimized: Digital TV channel scanning will have less chance of appearing to hang and will be faster for some devices.
6. Changed: "Automatically import files into Media Library" option reworded to "Automatically import files when played" for clarification.
7. Changed: Files located on handhelds will not be imported when played when the formentioned option is enabled.
8. Changed: Improved support for Archos devices.
9. NEW: "Copy graph info to clipboard" context menu option for DVD playback.
10. Changed: DVD option "Expand Image" is renamed "Crop Black Bars".
11. Changed: Reworked how view schemes are evaluated. (should be internal change, but please report any problems)

12.0.390 (12/11/2007)

1. NEW: Added right-click tree command "Compact Database" to iPod. (pools all similar artwork, rewrites artwork file in one swoop to minimize fragmentation, etc.)
2. Changed: During upload to an iPod, duplicate images are stored more efficiently.
3. Fixed: During file conversion, if an encoder hung, it could leave Media Center hung.
4. Fixed: CD operations could fail or show a message about failing to get the volume ID. (only affects build 389)
5. Changed: Some tweaks in digital TV recording.
6. Fixed: Media Editor could crash on exit.
7. Updated: Start page.
8. Fixed: Smartlist rules with empty values [] were getting dropped.

12.0.389 (12/10/2007)

1. NEW: "Copy graph info to clipboard" menu option for DX video player. (DVD and TV to follow).
2. Fixed: Deleting a podcast during a download could result in a crash.
3. Fixed: Right-clicking on a playlist in the tree and sending it to a device was transferring the files but not the playlist information.
4. Fixed: Artwork was getting fragmented on iPods causing delays when cover art was loading.
5. NEW: Installer copies launcher to both 32-bit and 64-bit system folder so applications running in either mode can find it.
6. Changed: Reworked how in-place editing is handled in the lists and tree. (hopefully internal change, but please report any strangeness)
7. Changed: Slow double-click can be used in the tree to rename an item with no children.
8. NEW: An option on DirectShow filter selection dialog window to skip testing DirectShow playability before actually trying to play in DirectShow, of selected media types.

12.0.392 (12/13/2007) (EXPERIMENTAL)

1. NEW: Panes are a tree instead of a flat list for items that support nesting (like playlist groups, file location, etc.).
2. NEW: Keywords can be nested. (use the panes with drag-n-drop or tagging mode to edit)

This is a big change, so I've moved a thread out here that explains more.  It's here.  There may still be a few things to clean up.

Grouping (1) in my Album Artist column is still not working.

Changing grouping to 2 or more and it works fine, but with it set to (1) when I click on a letter the list goes blank.

I'm getting Vista UAC permission dialogues with this build every time I connect my ipod.

iPod compact database seems to work well. My database reduced from 50MB to 25MB.

[darichman]

"Unassigned" is gone for list type fields!

Hope this is a bug and not a change

Love the nested panes though

I agree and commented on why I think Unassigned is important to keep here http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=43975.msg300910#msg300910

Hello,

I installed the version, thinking that it would solve my problem since the FLAC encoder is now built-in (is it really?). 

My library resides on a network drive, which is mapped on "P:". When ripping a CD to FLAC, the process fails. I have a log file if anyone can help troubleshoot.

Ripping to 'C' works, but it is a pain since I have to manuall move the files after ripping.

Here is a few hints of what is inside (edited for length)

Just a guess, but try browsing to P:\ in File > Open File... inside Media Center.  Then try to rip.

If you're on Vista, it does some weird stuff with mapped drive connections / permissions.

[Matt]

I'm getting Vista UAC permission dialogues with this build every time I connect my ipod.

To ask the iPod for information, we need to use SCSI.  UAC requires admin priveleges to do this.

The Search box seems to work as expected now (and I love the search per view basis), except it gets lost after doing a refresh (by pressing F5).
Is this intentional?  It's not nice in my opinion; I do a search to find an album, make some changes and then refresh to check that everything's as it should be (e.g. sorting) and I now have to do the search again.

Well... 

you are right, I am on Vista. I opened a file from the netwok drive and played it while attempting to rip. The process goes up to a certain percentage and then an error message pops up (cdripper: missing a necessary file for encoder operation).

An anternative process for me right now is to rip in C: and use the library rename tool to move it to the network location. This is a pain, though since it adds an additional step to the process.

My library is also on the P: drive. I use the shared library approach so I can manage it from different location in the house (one computer at a time). The network is built on a 100Mps switch and a SMC router with a throughput of around 4MB/s between the 2 computers.

Thank you

In the main window when either Recently Imported and Recently Ripped is chosen in the tree I can't use "tab" to move across from field to field in my music files when I'm tagging by choosing "rename" and I have several files highlighted eg when tagging the "album" field and then the "genre" field on several files. I used to be able to do this.

Has it changed intentionally? If so is there any other way of doing this?

John.

Yep, same problem (bug) here too (confirming).

With .395 upnp no longer works with the nokia n800. The upnp server does not show up this time on the device. I'll do a sniff as soon as I have some time if its not fixed by then.

I think I know what is causing this, I'm working on it.
