Media Center 13.0.78 Beta -- Download Here
« on: November 18, 2008, 12:08:29 pm »

This is the latest version of MC 13.0.  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 MC13.0 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC13/MediaCenter130078.exe

13.0.78 (11/18/2008)

1. Fixed: 2D visualizations could crash when drawing vertical oscilloscopes in rare cases.

5. Changed: Clicking on an expanded combobox would not nicely close it.
6. Fixed: Droplist-style comboboxes would show an unnecessary right-click menu.
7. Fixed: The pane tagging confirmation dialog would not honor the cancel button.
8. Fixed: Drop-panes better support right-click and item expansion.
9. Fixed: Right-click "Locate" commands use the last-used view for the selected media type instead of possibly showing an unexpected view like 3D Albums.
10. Changed: Right-click "Locate" puts the search box in "search this field" mode just like when accepting a search suggestion so that it doesn't have to display search syntax to search a certain field. (changing the search clears that mode)
11. Changed: Doing a "Locate" command will always add a history item to the forward / back list, meaning you can use the back command after a locate to return exactly to the previous view.
12. Fixed: The Smartlist editor would not support searches like [Rating]=4,5 nicely. (for any numeric field, you can choose "is" then type a semicolon delimited list of values in the editor)
13. Fixed: Tracking of the playing file when playing an image slideshow fullscreen did not occur in playlist views.
14. Fixed: Image Editor would draw images as all black (only applies to build 70).
15. NEW: Image Editor shows a dialog with save modes (and explanations) on save / exit.
16. NEW: Added "Save changes to desktop background" as one of the save modes, to facilitate making wallpaper.
17. NEW: Added support for old ID3v2.2 tags.

13.0.70 (11/06/2008)

1. Fixed: The "File Types" page would not allow selection of the Quicktime engine for audio files.
2. Fixed: The on screen display could show in strange places when in Theater View.
3. Changed: Pan & Zoom during image slideshows looks smoother and does not sparkle.
4. Fixed: Sound recorder wasn't honoring the 'max length' option.
5. Changed: Pan & Zoom is enabled by default for image slideshows. (Options > Playback > Configure Image Playback... to change)
6. Changed: Renamed "Auto-Pan" to "Pan & Zoom".

This version crashes when I attempt to set up audio for TV.  Never happened with any other MC13 builds.  I've rebooted and retried 3 times...."abnormal program termination"....and it freezes.

Additional TV problems.  After I couldn't set the TV audio, I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled.  Still crashes when setting audio...also crashed when scanning for channels.  Definite TV problems with this build....for me anyway.

Hey Guys,

DVB-T.
Still crashing upon completion of scan.
Still crashing if I select Audio in options.
Unable to change channels at all without first stopping play and restarting...
And a weird little one that doesn't happen in the lastest version of 12 - when playing internet stream the program freezes momentarily at regular intervals. The music keeps playing but the display and the program itself become non responsive...

Cheers,

J.

Installer complained about the JRTools.dll being in use.  Procexp showed it was being used by explorer?  Ending explorer allowed the installer to resume.

3D Wall?
« Reply #9 on: November 19, 2008, 11:23:49 am »

Hi, I just installed the latest build and I can't find the 3D wall anymore. Was this feature excluded from the latest build? In standard view, I'm clicking on the panes drowndown tab and there isn't a 3D wall option. I tried the 3D wall a while back and thought it looked great. Any plans to incorporate it into theater view? I use MC in theater view on my big screen and only exit to standard view when there's something I can't do in theater view (which may help account for my lack of ability to find the 3D wall).

I've posted about this a couple of times before (in MC12, and it's still there in MC13).

Using alt-space to access the window menu (minimize, restore, etc.)
About 50% of the time when I try to do this to MC it causes MC to crash.  Have only had this happen in Vista, but have tested that it happens on two very differently specced machines.  Instantly playback stops and I get an MC has crashed and needs to close box.  Other times the menu will instead appear twice as wide:

Sorry to annoy you with this problem, but I really don’t understand what happens when I try to find a picture (artwork) for a song by clicking on the button “Images” (in French) near Google. When I have chosen an artwork, I select the option “Use the file as the cover art for …” and it’s here that I get lost. Sometimes, only the artwork of the selected song is updated, sometimes all the songs of the album containing this song are modified (and perhaps also other artworks). I am unable to find the logic behind this: title + album, or title + artist of the album, or what? I should greatly prefer to be able to modify the artwork title by title. One more thing: is it possible to make a search for artwork with this function based on the artist + the title (much more precise)?
Thanks you very much.

It always sets the full album for the track that seeded the search.

The album is expanded to any files with a matching:
[Album Artist (auto)] and [Album]

Large thumbnails in pane doesn't display anymore, small thumbnails still work. I tried re-building thumbnails, but large thumbnails still aren't showing. I don't know if there's a setting for this if I changed something or not or whether this is a bug?

It is not available anymore in ungrouped lists. You can use it only if the view is grouped. Matt's answer from the beta board explains why that was changed:

13.0.75 (11/13/2008)

5. Changed: "Image (large thumbnail)" column is drawn as part of list groupings; it is no longer usable in non-grouped lists.

Do you have a specific reason for this feature removal?

I was using it in my "tagging" view schemes (see the attached screenshot).

Previously the large image was drawn row-by-row, with each item owning a chunk of it. 

This worked, but made it nearly impossible to extend the functionality, since there wasn't a single object that owned the entire thing.  It also made it hard to avoid artifacts when the image was changing since the rows didn't know what the other rows had drawn.

Now, the large image is drawn in one-pass by the group item.

Re: Media Center 13.0.78 Beta -- problem with .vob files
« Reply #17 on: November 22, 2008, 05:23:31 pm »

Was also a problem in build 69.
If I import a .vob file, it initially appears in 'Recently Imported' and Video category, but the file name is listed as dvd:1, rather than .vob
If I attempt to play the file, MC fails with a pathing error.
After a little while (perhaps attempting thumbnails), the files dissapear entirely from MC.
It looks like a problem with filename parsing if the .vob is not an actual DVD.

I managed to rename one to .vob in the filename, but it would not play until I changed setting in file types from auto, to J River Video Engine.

It doesn't store my "Customize View"->"Rules for file display". The Modifier "Sort By" always changes back to its defaults "Date, Filename, Track, Album" ... regardless of what I enter.

Horizontal Scrollbar in "Rename, Move, & Copy Files" dialog?
« Reply #20 on: November 24, 2008, 05:48:43 am »

I've grown quite dependent on the Preview pane in Rename, Move, & Copy files on large batch renames. I usually have to grow the columns to fit the filenames (grab "between" column headers and drag far to the right beyond the dialog, let go). That used to create a horizontal scroll bar. Somehow that no longer works. I can still make the columns quite wide, but no scroll bar. It's also impossible to adjust the column sizes back afterwards, as there's no way to scroll over to the draggable spot.

This worked in previous builds.

Oh. I did just notice playing with it that there's now a tooltip. Dunno if that was there before. Helpful, but only for inspecting one at a time - it's much easier to debug/make sure nothing is going to get a horrid wrong name if you've used a complicated expression if you can see the whole list.

Any reason that dialog itself can't be sizable?

I love the new playback options for media files. However, when using Tools > Options > File Types and selecting External Player (custom) the currently playing media does not stop. For example, I am playing music in MC 13. I decide to watch a movie and click the cover art for the movie. If I have selected an external player, the music continues to play. Launching an external player for media files should automatically stop the playlist in MC.

I have MC set to start in Mini View and start playing.  It is supposed to show Artist - Title but it just shows Title.  If a go to standard view and then back to Mini view, it displays correctly.  I am using Paradigm: Essence as the Mini view.  After some experimenting the problem may be limited to this particular mini view.  Many of the Mini Views can't seem to remember there location between sessions.  I guess I'll try Caliber 1.01 for now.

In 3d view, album art disappears as program zooms in.  It reappears at you zoom back out.

Since upgrading to MC 13, I have noticed that synchronizing with my iPod video 30Gb has this issue: files removed from the local library are not removed from it, so I cannot upload new files unless I remove them from the iPod (I do it within MC, of course).
Right now, Windows reports 80707584 bytes (76,9Mb) free onto the iPod, the total music to be transferred as reported by MC is 120,5Mb and the total bytes of the music not removed from the iPod, as reported by MC, is 154,3Mb, but MC, upon synchronization rechecking, warns that the files to be transferred are 114,8Mb more than the size of the device.
Note that onto my iPod I also have RockBox installed and I have 3,23Gb of FLAC/OGG files stored inside their own directories... but I guess that this does not interfere with the way MC calculates free space...

This is the only relevant information I have found into the log file:

0014219: 4380: Handheld: CHHUploadHelper::SetTransferFiles: PDMemCheck: totalTransferSize=126357229, m_nAvailableAfterUploadBytes=-120380755

Thanks in advance

I add that after manually removing the files, Windows reports about 231Mb free  but MC 13, even after a restart, reports 39,6Mb free after a 120,5Mb transfer... so I think there is something wrong with the initial size calculation.

Bug

I had problems importing m4a files....Recently imported indicated the files were imported but were not found in Audio tree. Uninstalled & went back to 62. I don't know which version it happened in.
