« on: April 09, 2002, 04:33:17 pm »

Media Jukebox 8.0.245 beta is available:

[this version is now 8.0.246 -- not recommended]

ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaJukebox8.exe

WARNING: This build introduces a new MEGA-ME skinning engine.  It is still buggy and unfinished.  Only install this beta if you wish to evaluate the new skinning engine. (and enjoy crashes and bugs)

Please backup your library and your license.

(note: you can use "Help->Check for Updates" if you've installed a previous beta of 8.0 to reduce the download size)

History:
1. Fixed: DSP Studio would not appear in mini-me.
2. Fixed: Adaptec aspi installer didn't work on XP.
3. Fixed: Playback was corrupt when no DSP plugins were installed.
4. Fixed: An old version of the Media Jukebox DSP plugin did not get uninstalled during upgrade.

11. Fixed: In Media Scheduler, a Custom Task was not able to be edited or deactivated after the task was performed.
12. Fixed: The default Custom Task, "Play a media file", did not work correctly. (Current users need to manually change from the path's "Media Jukebox.exe" to "mjextman.exe" and save the command).
13. NEW: File Stats dialog sizeable.
14. NEW: Download Manager now displays the progress of downloading a playlist before being processed.
15. Fixed: Sometimes Download Manager would crash if the previous session's list item contained items that were paused.

17. Changed: Removed duplicate status entry from status bar. ("Ready" would be shown twice)

20. Fixed: Sometimes Download Manager was crashing when using fragment download mode.
21. Fixed: Download Manager reported inaccurate average speed for fragment download.
22. Changed: In Download Manager, Incomplete file now has a .tmp extension.
23. NEW: Added Disable Browser Integration option in the Download Manager system tray menu.

26. Fixed: TV Initialization is 25% faster than before, for WDM drivers.

Black area when all columns fit on screen (space on right side of last column)

Moving mouse over "Name" column heading doesn't reset when moving mouse away; other columns do not highlight when doing this. Moving mouse off of contect view resets it.

Scroll bars get messed up when clicking on the file menu and it covers it. Seems as if the player window and tree window get "active" and have borders around the windows. Could be a problem on my end, I'll check later (winfx).

Resizing columns doesn't refresh screen; leaves vertical lines where the column was. Happens with "Name" mostly.

Can only get DFX plug-in to work in DSP studio checking any MJ DSP gives "no display available" then checking any other DSP causes MJ crash.

Now try this: Click and hold on top of tree window and drag, the whole tree/play control area moves corrupting the whole MJ window.

I would like to see an option to disable mega-me skinning on WinXP as I use WindowBlinds and don't really need or want it.

Keep up the good work tho nothing more fun than playing with a new beta and watching it evolve:}

I found that when opening the DSP Studio, MJ crashes. It worked on the previous version so I don't think it's me but inform me if it is. My system has been running crappy for a while. I think the reason is my Abit BD7-RAID board. BLAH BLAH BLAH I'm sure you get the point.

Just wanted to mention that you can hold on reporting MEGA-ME skinning bugs for a build or so.  We know there's lots of work still to do.

Thanks everyone.

Well,
      I've read a few previous posts, so I know I'm not the only one, but I will repeat it once again. The DSP studio crashes MJ as soon as you click on it to adjust anything. There is no display at all for anything other than DFX, could you maybe give us an idea of when this will be fixed?

I am surely not the only one who notices that you can't access the Encoder Plugin Configurations from "Plug in Manager". Is this supposed to be this way?

CVIII,

Yes (that is the way it is supposed to be)...read the build 236 release notes.  The Plug-In manager's configure button was not in-sync with the Options > Encoding setting screen (and was confusing).

I am still unable to rip discs, even with the latest build, with my SCSI CD-ROM under Windows 2000. When I hit rip and copy, status says initialzing and just stays there, yet there's no activity on the drive itself. I've tried every variation of settings under options>devices with no luck. I am able to rip using my IDE DVD-ROM dive, but it is much slower and I'd like to get scsi back up.

With or without DFX, when I try to make any changes/selections in DSP Studio, MJ crashes.

Also, the "target" at the top of the tree view seems to "dissappear" until focus is given to the tree view... And there is a "close" X in the upper right corner of the tree view, as if I could "close" the tree view.. Next Page

With regard to the new color scheme: it is VERY difficult to determine if a radio button is "on" or "off" in the settings dialogs..

Request:
When Mega-Me skinning is done, have at least a basic (not-so-blue) skin that is more greyish w/blue highlights...more like old Mega-Me before build 245.  I love skining, but don't want to spend days trying to get basic visual Mega-Me back (I like blue, too).

As is, my quickly modified Mega-Me skin doesn't look good everwhere because the black font (menu) doesn't look good on Blue buttons (Options).  Probably need the ability to specify more font colors throughout (specific to where they are going to be used).

>>>10. Changed: DSP Studio now remembers its last position.

That's all it remembers. One touch and, ZOT, no more MJ.

Noticed in the file under windows explorer that my old view, or skin, is still there. If this was changed to the default would MJ revert back to that scheme? Or is the xml specific to this new skin? I was just going to edit the look with P.S.P, not tackle the code. And I really didn't want to delete the new skin.

You still have to move your mouse over the track position slider in mega-me mode for it to move properly.

Installer : This doesn't shut down Download Manager (and maybe other members of the MJ suite?) before installing. Because of this, DM wasn't updated. I had to shut DM down manually then re-run setup.

Request : Can the fullscreen menu option for enlarged menus be seperate from Internal & mini-me? I want a nice big menu for fullscreen (since I'm most likely across the room using a remote) but not for MEGA-ME or mini-me where I'm most likely sitting at the computer for.

Question : Are you guys planning on making the MEGA-ME skinning a suite-wide (Media Jukebox, Download Manage, Media Editor, Media Scheduler, CD Labeler, Music01 Server) thing, or just MJ? Suite-wide would take longer, but it would do a lot to make MJ feel like a cohesive package.

So far, I'm very impressed. I haven't experienced any problems in relation to the MEGA-ME skinning (yet). And besides the DSP Studio crashes that everybody else is reporting, it's running really nice. Even the grid lines are back and working!

Toggling between full screen view and internal view brings back the old nemesis of not remembering what was selected in either screen. Was working in the last build, for me anyway.

Options button for vis and the like, retains focus after choices are made. Have to click again for highlight to shutoff.

ADDITIONAL  Making a selection from the options button or from right click doesn't refresh info in the quick select bar.

Example - Fireball last vis played. New selection is say, Make It Stop. Changes the vis itself but not the info in the bar below the vis.

MORE All the buttons in the quick select bar for vis', or track info, retain focus after selection is made. Have to off click somewhere to release focus.

In past versions, I was able to right click on Artist/Album and "Add new Artist" or "Add new album". This was intuitive and simple and it was useful for music that I wanted to place in generic album names or generic artist names. When I try that now, all I get is stuff about view schemes. What's the easiest way to add an artist or album now??\
THANKS for a wonderful program!

Ok I gotta ask, why was the disable visualizations option removed? This has bugged me for several builds. Raising the playlist to the top does not really kill it, just watch cpu usage in task manager on XP or 2K. I usually want the vis but occasionally I want to just shut it off.

I'd also like to get to vis studio sometimes without having to start playback.

Crashing in kernel32...only in Media Jukebox on my new HTPC machine (I've only used 239 & 245 betas on it though) playing 16/44/1 WAV files in a 800-file playlist.  It seems to crash especially fast if I have visualizations on.  With 245, however, right before the crash I get a C|PLS||PLS| error within MJ, then I click close, then I get the illegal operation in kernel32.

Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment.

My HTPC:
Windows98SE w/IE 5.5 SP2 & DX8.1
AIW 7500 w/latest official ATI drivers
Delta 1010LT soundcard (as the main sound card) using VxD drivers
Audigy Platinum (used only for games)
1.6GHz Pentium4
Asus P4S333-M (SiS645)
512MB Crucial 2100 DDR
Enermax Whisper 350W PS

No overclocking...no lockups in any other program, including MS-WMP 7.1 (I've used it for hours on end, as MJ only lasts 45 minutes, but usually less before crashing).

I will try to get you guys more info about the crashes tomorrow.

(Repost, because of no reactions)

Hi Guys,
I've not reported this earlier, because I thought that someone else already did it (The main reason is actually that I've hardly the time to go through all messages on this forum

1. A really irritating bug is when the last track of the playlist has ended, the program keeps playing the last second of that track over and over. The only way to stop it is to play another item and stop that one.

2. I use moving and Copying of files a lot. When I'm connected to my network at home, there is no problem. So the last action was probably moving a file to the server. Not with a drive letter, but with an UNC.
Being on the road, not connected to the network, I use this feature too and ... It searches first for the non-existing workgroup, before showing the treeview with all maps.

Just thought I'd try the lastest release to see how its getting on,  its been a while since I tested a beta,  and things have certanly changed,  anyways heres my two peneth.

1> Find CD - Defaults to Amazon.com,  id like to see at least an option for amazon.co.uk (possible other countries should be included?).

2> Online content I.E. MJ News from start page doesnt seem to use the proxy details as set in the CDDB registration as it did in previous versions,  thus no new plugins or online content will work.

3> It would be nice to be able to adjust the order of items in the Media library,  I'd like to be able to
  choose whether or not Album is first or Artist (personally I prefer artist.)

4> Can we have back the old classic themes (skins),  I was rather liked the old mini me view and it was much more
  descrete than the new huge one.

5> Can we also have the old visualizations included in the new version, the classic bars and firestorm bars where
  great.

6> Some of the check boxes and option boxes are no clear as to what is actually selected.


When I say have back,  what I really mean to say is bundled (or at least as a download option)


Any how apart from that its looking really good.

Also, on the find CD page,  the AB-CD (UK) option doesnt pick a UK site,  it seems its a US company with
all prices in dollars.

When MJ is in Playing Now and the option "Auto-Hide Bars" is turned off and "resize display for bars" is turned on
and my visualisations/play list is half screen :

- I have a visualisation with text at the bottom, when switching from "playing now" to "media library" and back, the
 visualisation gets resized properly so my text is above my toolbar.

- Minimize MJ to the System Tray, Double click on the system Tray icon to maximize again, then visualisations are not resized, my text is underneath the
 toolbar.
