Hi

Ref: Build 205

TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH - full path to the currently playing file,
still doesn't work, and the index page will not scroll either.
________________________________________________________
Ilmar,

TRACKINFO_INSERT_TRACKPATH should be fixed in next build.

Mj keeps crashing when clicking on Devices/Cd-Rom (writeable)...IDE/ASPI/Auto configs. CD can be in or out. Digital playback on or off. CDDB on or off.

TEAC CDW54E Adapter:1 IDE:0
It came with the computer. HP Cd-Writer Plus

No idea what is going on. All I do know if you have MJ set to open at last location...can be a real pain trying to stop looping in crashes.

Still problems with digital playback, now over 3 beta versions.
Digital playback is scratchy and with periodic pops.

Just tried two same songs from two different cd's with MJ and EAC. MJ played with pops, EAC played them clean.

Yes. All those tabs and buttons didn't really add that much other than clutter. This way you actually get more screen space for the list if you want it. The splitter will also support double-click and right-click. (eventually)

And we plan to add easier display changing in a future version.

Bugs:

1. Cannot see/use user-developed visualizations because they don't show up on the Visualization sub-menus. You have to open the Visualization Studio and open them in there to use them in MJ.

2. All to often, MJ crashes when swithing and/or enabling visualizations and trying to bring up the Visualizaton Studio. This appears to be the most unstable part of all MJ 8.0 releases...MJ crashes about 80% of the time when I attempt these actions. I kringe everytime I click on on them in fear MJ is about to crash (again).

Tryed To Format Reo 500 That I Do Not Even Have, MJ Crashed

Doof · « **Reply #15 on:** February 15, 2002, 04:09:23 pm »

Metamorphis : Metamorphis is putting included vis plugins in the old vis location, rather than the new one.

Track Info : Resizing MJ while viewing Track Info (or resizing the pane divider, or the vis window if viewing in a window) causes all kinds of messy refreshes/flashing.

Auto-Expand Branches : None of their respective toolbar buttons cause the branches to auto-expand the way they do when you click on that branch. This goes for Playing Now, Media Library, Playlists, and Devices.

Request : Thank you for adding Play, Send To, etc. to all of the branches beneath Media Library. Can we also get these for Media Library itself? So the actions will be carried out on everything displaying in Media Library? Also, can we get File Properties on all branches?

Request : Currently, we can't Quick Play a playlist group. We also get messy playlist lists such as "Genre Weighted Playlist\Rock - 60". How about handling playlists and playlist groups the same way that Media Views are handled in Quick Play. A Playlist Group will be have branches for each playlist/smartlist inside of it, and if you double click the playlist group, MJ plays that entire group, just like it would for an album if you double clicked the album name in Quick Play.
This way we can play Playlist Groups from Quick Play and we also get rid of the messy playlist names.

When I installed the new beta, and it got to asking me about file types, not types were listed, just a blank pane.

Bugs still there:
Focus problems:
Can't tab away from Search field in Media Library.
Keyboard focus is lost on return from full-screen mode.
When you edit Genre (or many other fields) in File Properties and press Return, keyboard focus is lost.
Can't tab out of an IE pane, such as Home or Web Media.

Fast-forward and rewind still don't work in video files.

Help menu remains grayed out when you return from About. This seems to be a general problem with menus and pop-ups.

When you pause a file, the whole status line is replaced with Paused, so you can't see where you are in the file. Given that the position slider changes shape, this seems a bit redundant. Also, when fast-forwarding or rewinding, the time display is intermittently replaced by Buffering... so you also can't see where you are.

CDDB's working again, but when I look up the information for an individual file (from Properties), CDDB seems to return more information (genre, etc) and the Name field ends up with trackname|artist|genre, instead of just trackname.

Media Jukebox Saves Id3v2 Tags When The Option To Do So Is Turned Off.

If you take a mp3 that has both tags, then use the option to remove the tags, mj reports that the tags are removed.

when you go into properties and check, mj reports id3v1, and id3v2 = No (no tags)

when you now use the option to update all files, mj now saves id3v1 and id3v2 tags and like i said the option to do so is turned off.

i think it also did this in 7.2

as reported by others about the sound quality, it seems on windows XP (mine) also has problems maintaining good quality playback even if set to more skip resistant

this maybe a windows Xp - Windows Xp seting Problem, since i have noticed a problem with other sound programs.

if true MJ may be blamed for a problem that happens to be a Windows XP problem

Bug:

1. Using Media File Properties to rename files physically located on a networked drive fails. I used MJ to play (not import) some MP3s on another PC's hard drive. Then, I decided to rename them using MJ. MJ could update the tags, but the renames all failed. MJ popped up the Confirm File Move dialog even though I was not changing the drive/directory location (that's a bug too). Then, MJ displayed the 'MJ failed to move/rename the following files' error dialog. So, MJ has two problems with renaming files on networked drives: 1) erroneous 'Confirm File Move' and 2) rename always fails.

JimH · « **Reply #31 on:** February 16, 2002, 05:28:23 am »

For crashing problems, try switching from track info to visualizations (right click on screen). At least one of the track info pages causes a lock on my WinXP machine.

MJ8-0-207 still crashes during editing the file properties. This can be done either in a one by one sequence or by selecting a group of files.
The one by one method allows a various number of files to be edited (usually two to six). This behavior is common to all versions of MJ. Since it shows identical symptoms on total different machines (only the OS is common:W2K pro) and organizing functions I consider as major items of MJ, I’ll address it again in this thread.

Is anyone out there how has a clue, or is it already focused by dv?

Udo

For more details, I’ve copied the debugger output here. Lines beginning with # are comments, I added.

If you need my test files (24 mp3s), just let me know:

Udo.siegmund@foni.net

Please Note, I live about 7 hours ahead of you, so it might take a little to respond! This is the output of 206, but ver 207 is identical to this, so I was to lazy to redo it

Hi, I ripped a Various Artists CD this morning and the CDDB lookup worked well - each track had the artist coded against them - great work!

However, I had the rip process set to download cover art and it then appeared to go looking for the cover for each track with the search having the album title and the track artist.

New infos on those crashing problems!

I just found out, that MJ will crash on many files ripped by other software. Ripping the same CD one more time using MJ works fine. So, there must be some kind on incompatibility to those files. Playing doesn’t give you any problems.

> crash on that Setup Command Button in the player window.
thanks for the feedback, after your post I fixed it

Uninstalled MJ8
Made sure everything was deleted
reinstalled MJ8

May have been something one of the updates or my system did.

King, "as reported by others about the sound quality, it seems on windows XP (mine) also has problems maintaining good quality playback even if set to more skip resistant
this maybe a windows Xp - Windows Xp seting Problem, since i have noticed a problem with other sound programs.

if true MJ may be blamed for a problem that happens to be a Windows XP problem"

I don't know if you also am referring to the ones I brought up, about pops and scratsches playing digital- and now also analog playback from a audio cd...

But I checked the same cd's and songs with EAC, and EAC gave a clear and clean sound, MJ did not.

Another thing, which may or may not have anything to do with MJ, is that my cd-rom drive makes a hell of a noise while playing back with MJ. When playing back with EAC it is much more silent (normal cd-rom noise from the cabinet)

I am in analog playback, i will try digital

Nope, Both are not to good (from time to time)

Don't know, what it could be

i may install 7.2 tomorrow to see if there is a dif

Xstatic, have you tryed 7.2 to see if it cleared up? if so maybe it is mj8 playback, i'm scraching my head right about now.

anyone know of anything else to try \ do?

JimH is this a known problem? is there a cure?

When you do "Tools->Get info from CDDB" for a file, the track name always has |||Unknown on the end. I'll try it on a CD rip later.

Bug:

1. You can't navigate the right window in the Visualization Studio with the keyboard. Makes it really diffucult to use having to mouse-click each row of settings. Still, it's harder to even bring up the Vis Studio because it crashes MJ about 80% of the time when I choose Visualization Studio from the right-click menu.

Xstatic & King,
I don't get scratch playback of APE files.

We saw a scratchy playback problem a couple months ago that was solved by reinstalling the sound card driver.

Still, it sounds like it could be a problem with this build. Don't know.

Ok...this is a long, long time bug in MJ that has driven me nuts since the 7.0 betas and persists in 8.0 betas still. I had resigned this to maybe be a problem with Windows 2000 Pro, yet I've never, ever seen it happen with any other application (in 6|PLS| years of NT/2000 use). Now, I see the same problem on Windows XP Pro and I've got to believe it's MJ...it has to be.

PROBLEM:
Somehow, MJ gets into some state when minimized and/or not the active application that clicking on its taskbar icon or its tray icon does not restore it. Graphically, the taskbar icon for MJ will be depressed (as if it is the active application), but MJ will remain in the background behind all Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer screens. Using task swithing immediately reveals that MJ is NOT the active application, but is the last application in the task list (Z-Order I think they call it...I might be wrong on that term). The only way to get MJ back on top, is to click in one of the Explorer windows first and then click on MJ again (icon, tray or window).

Again, this happens on two PCs I have MJ on (one with Windows 2000 Pro and, now, one with XP Pro). Surely, others have seen MJ exhibit this behavior...I deal with it everyday for the last year now. I also notice this regularly when using Windows Explorer's right-click menu to Import tracks into MJ...MJ tries to become active to display the import totals dialog, but fails to come 'on top' on the running Explorer screen.

REQUEST:
Make the tray icon also minimize MJ to the tray when left-clicked and MJ is currently restored/maximized and the active application. If MJ is not the active application, it should do what it does now...make itself active. I know I can click on the taskbar icon to minimize MJ, but I'd like to just have to remember to click on the MJ's tray icon to do everything (minimize and restore)...like some other cool apps support (no brainer, in my opinion). Right now, if MJ is the active application and you click on its tray icon, it's a wasted click...MJ just refreshes itself...I'd like to see it minimize itself (to the tray, if configured so).

DSP - again - it's not worked for me in any of the v8 builds :-

For Virtual Sub and Surround Field -
1. Select the DSP icon and the menu appears
2. Select Virtual Sub or Surround Field and the drop down appears
3. Make a selection from the drop down and the description DOES change to your selection
4. If DSP was off, the action of step 3 WILL TURN IT ON
So far, no problem....

ForEnvoronment, Intelli-Volume and Replay Gain -
1. Select the DSP icon and the menu appears
2. Select Environment, Intelli-Volume or Replay Gain and the drop down appears
3. Make a selection from the drop down and the description DOES'NT change to your selection
4. If DSP was off, the action from Step 3 WILL NOT TURN IT ON

Added 2 files from Explorer into Playing Now.
Name - Artist.mp3
Name - Artist(2).mp3

Opened Properties on Name - Artist (2).mp3
Renamed Name - Artist(2).mp3 to Name - Artist.mp3

Clicked Save
Ask to overwrite Name - Artist.mp3 with new one
Clicked Yes

*** Everything is working normally up to this point

Looked in Playing now and was shocked. The Original Name - Artist.mp3 was AXED!

Shouldn't be there as I replaced it with the new one. Both items in playing now are pointing to the same file.

You can play the file but the Artist, Name, Genre, etc keep changing everytime you double click on it.

Artist: X¶
Name: tac
Album: acc
Genre: wma
Type: ogg

Length isn't right
Bitrate isn't right

Opening Properties on this file crashes MJ.

I can reproduce this everytime.

Jim:
"Xstatic & King,
I don't get scratch playback of APE files."

For my part I was referring to playback of audio cd's being in the drive, not playback of APE or other file formats.
