Bug:
1. Using GoldenHawk driver, if you start a data CD/RW burn and Cancel before the first track is witten, MJ can no longer 'handle' the partially initialized CD/RW disk. If you insert the CD/RW disk, MJ analyzes it forever...all I wanted to do was insert the CD/RW disk and erase it again (but MJ wouldn't let me do that). I had to press the Eject button to make MJ stop analyzing and use another piece of software to erase the CD/RW disk...then MJ would 'handle' the disk.
ShowStopper=No

2. MJ crashed immediately after finishing a CD/RW data cd burn (using GH driver) and ejecting the CD, see:

ShowStopper=Yes (if MJ is going to crash everytime after a CD/RW burn)

Update: I tried the same exact CD/RW burn using the generic driver and MJ crashed in the same place. Also, I had the CD burn dialog minimized when MJ finished and MJ was playing MP3s during the burn (no tracks to be burned were playing, tho)...hope that info helps too. Still a ShowStopper if MJ is going to crash everytime a CD/RW is burned.

Reply from JohnT:

ZRocker: MJ crashed immediately after finishing a CD/RW data cd burn (using GH driver) and ejecting the CD, see...

This is fixed in the next build - thanks for reporting it so quickly. I can't reproduce the other problem (cancel cd/rw burn causing freeze-up). Does it do this every time? Do you cancel right away, or during the write process?

When you post a bug now, please tell us if you think it's a show stopper.

KingSparta · « **Reply #3 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:34:00 am »

something is wrong with the splash screen, it changes colors as mj boots, it looks bad, it did not do that last version.

rebooted the system and it still does it.

mphorton · « **Reply #5 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:48:49 am »

last one's definitely a show stopper

KingSparta · « **Reply #6 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:49:24 am »

I selected 3 files all had the same song name and artist name and all 3 were in the same dir

I tried to rename them to Artist - Songname.mp3

when the file asked me if i wanted to overwrite it i selected cancel

MJ crashed without error and closed - vanished

Windows Xp

>> please tell us if you think it's a show stopper
maybe if others can reproduce it

Right Clicking on mini-me's vis window and selecting an option in the menu still "clicks through" to the window beneath if that option happens to be over that other window.

14. Changed: Updated "display quality" logic in visualizations -- more intelligent now.

How does this work exactly? I'm not seeing any noticeable difference.

JimH · « **Reply #9 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:52:28 am »

King,
I can't see a problem with the splash screen. How many colors are you using?

Jim

Doof · « **Reply #10 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:57:25 am »

JimH> It's doing the same for me as well. When it first comes up, it's all black and then it kind of wipes into place or something.

It only lasts about a second and then looks normal.

I'm on a 32bit display.

cannot acces the web from inside MJ
Artist info,get record or any of the links of the home page , i get 'the page cannot be displayed'

I have 'artist info' in my toll bar.From there it is fine,i get the page

KingSparta · « **Reply #12 on:** May 22, 2002, 10:59:33 am »

32 bit, ATI all in wonder 32 meg ddr

it worked fine last version, loaded it up before upgrade. after update splash not looking good.

i could try to update again from the html, and not from help.

just registered slide show, it went ok and now registered.

however, when i clicked on the form with Registered To: UNREGISTERED - You Have 24 Days left.... "buy", "Restore", "Ok"

bought it, the form is still showing (maybe it should have closed, or updated from Registered To: UNREGISTERED )

Doof, HimH

doof's splash screen pic is the same for me

JimH · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2002, 11:04:51 am »

Thanks, the splash screen is fixed now, we think.

King,
We've decide, pending your approval, that if we can't determine who the software is licensed to, we will just display "register to KingSparta". Is that OK with you?

KingSparta · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2002, 11:09:34 am »

>>>"register to KingSparta". Is that OK with you?
your killing me

but my multiple personalities will like it.

really I want MJ to tell me who I am every time it boots just in case I forget.

Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2002, 11:13:43 am »

How does this work exactly? I'm not seeing any noticeable difference.

Now you're picking how many pixels you want to render at most. Before you were picking a constant scaling factor.

So, at a small size like 200 x 120, all the modes will now be at 1 : 1. (where low quality before would have still been 4 : 1 or like 50 x 30)

At a larger size like 1600 x 1200, each mode will "cap out" at how many pixels it'll draw. So normal for example will render 640 x 480 at the most, and then just stretch it to fill anything larger.

Hope that makes sense...

Install Bug:
1. The MJ installer leave behind 17meg of install data in the Windows temp directory (in a sub-dir named RarSFXn (n=0 to 9)). If you install 10 MJ releases, you end up with over 170meg of temp files left behind by MJ's installer. Seems like the installer should be able to cleanup after itself and not leave so much temp data behind.

Zrocker,
I don't see this. Which OS?

ZRocker · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2002, 12:07:42 pm »

JimH,

The O/S is always Win2000 Pro w/SP1. I assume you are refering to the abandoned installation files. I had 10 RarSFXn sub-dirs that I had to manually purge (this morning) to get back 170|PLS| meg MJ was consuming (that I didn't know about).

JimH · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2002, 12:08:44 pm »

In \winnt\temp?

ZRocker · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2002, 12:14:13 pm »

JimH,

Wherever your Environment Variable TEMP and/or TMP is setup for. Mine is 'G:\Temp' for each...yours will differ.

Swordsman74 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2002, 12:17:13 pm »

JimH,
If you are using Win2K or XP, the temp directory will actually be under "Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Temp". I only see the ~17mb ZRocker talked about originally, though...

Swordsman74 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2002, 12:46:27 pm »

Sorry about that: the directory should be: \Documents and Settings\(user name here)\Local Settings\Temp\

ZRocker, how do you do new installs? I use the automatic update from within MJ and I only have one directory (0). I'm wondering if that is how you got more directories than me...

- Matt L

ZRocker · « **Reply #24 on:** May 22, 2002, 01:17:21 pm »

S74,

I always use FTP to download the full or upgrade installation .EXE file and run the installation file.

JimH · « **Reply #25 on:** May 22, 2002, 01:22:42 pm »

The leftover file problem you reported, Zrocker, happens when installation is aborted for any reason. At least that's our theory. This won't be changed in this release.

ZRocker · « **Reply #26 on:** May 22, 2002, 01:30:10 pm »

JimH,

I've never aborted any of the 100's of beta v8.0 installs...however, I do use the Express install option always. Could it be Express that is 'aborting' the install (before full completion)? Also, I checked my Win2k Pro laptop and it has the same leftover RarSFXn sub-dirs in the Temp directory (going back months...I install MJ less frequently on my laptop).
