Please read VERY carefully. This is a BETA version of 9.1. If you expect things to work, please download the latest 9.0 build from this thread:
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=MediaCenter;action=di splay;num=1054751628
but if you're patient and willing to help us work out some of the bugs, you can download 9.1 here (recommended for experts only):
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter91199.exe
(backup your library before installing)
Please report any 9.1 problems in this thread. Keep a list of problems and if they aren't fixed in the next build, please post the list again.
History
1. Fixed: File selection for CD burning was broken.
2. Changed: New library browsing system many times faster.
3. Fixed: Several bugs with the new library browsing system.
4. Changed: Searching using the search box is faster than before. (especially on large libraries)
5. Fixed: Custom fields couldn't be selected as a default search field.
6. Fixed: New fields created with 9.1 wouldn't work properly -- remove them and add them again to fix the problem.
7. Fixed: Menus weren't selectable using down-drag-up mouse method.
8. Fixed: Files queued for burning were showing a status of "On Disk" instead of "In Queue".
9. Fixed: Double clicking on player buttons would maximize MC's main window.

15. Fixed: CD burner, CENDYNE 522452AU wasn't extracting the correct write speed (getting 0x instead of 48x).
16. Fixed: CD burner, placing large numbers of files in a single folder could result in a corrupt data disk.
17. Fixed: CD burner, when burning multi-session cd, if the first session could not be imported correctly, MC could create a corrupt data disk.

Overall, I'm *really* liking the new look/feel, and I think that the new sorting is totally the way to go. However, I would make sure that you keep the tree view as an option.
9.1.199 Bugs:
NEW: Not holding onto custom Media Library view settings (i.e. changing the Artist column to Album Artist (auto) resets to default on re-start).
NEW: No longer allows the user to have different view settings when moving from top level Media Library view (currently set to Album Thumbnails on my system) to individual Artist/Album views (formerly set to Automatic)
NEW: Library views sometimes 'sticky' (i.e. when moving from top-level navigation to a single album and then back again, the view will keep displaying only the single album's tracks).
OLD: The Album Thumbnails list style has *never* dealt with multiple artist albums properly. I have all albums with multiple artists set to use the actual artist name under the Artist field, and set to 'various artists' under the Album Artist field. However, no matter what I do, the thumbnails will always display multiple artist albums sorted under whatever individual artist is closest to 'A' (i.e: the soundtrack to Lost Highway is sorted under 'Bowie, David' instead of 'Various Artists'). Again, this happens no matter how I sort the top level Media Library view (I have Album Artist set as my default top-level sorter).
SUGGESTION: make sure that users can tab though the columns and select anything (album, track, image) without having to use a mouse.

This should be fun ::)

Will the IPOD plugin work with 9.1? Are there any known issues?
-
Love the new look Media Library - split panes on the right so much less cluttered than the old left hand system.
Also thanks to Steve for putting the playlist etc details and space info back into the Ipod plug-in - really missed that.
I think it's coming together really well - keep up the good work guys.

Much Better ;D
* List are now very fast.
* Where is the Change toolbars Text? Can't find it.
* Icons are hard to see.. all one color until mouse over. Don?t like that at all. Makes finding the correct icon much harder as they all look similar (all white).
* Continous, Shuffle, & DSP studio bottons are way too small.
* And... Green Eyes skin is back. Thank you ;D
Some thoughts on Green Eyes skin...
* The top green bar needs to be blended into the silver as the abrupt color change seems to cut off the icons & menus.
Generally thought MC 9.1 is starting to look pretty good (if I can ever get my head around the new lists).
-
I'm getting to like it more, and it's a LOT faster, but...
The new list boxes most times don't initialize to the top of the list. Example: Choose Artist/Album from the tree and you get 3 list boxes, one for the grouping, one for artist and one for album. If I select A-C in the first list, the second list shows ABBA at the top and I have to scroll up to see Aaron Nevile and the <all> entry. If I then select something in the middle of the A-C artist list, then select another grouping, say G-I, the middle list reloads but is positioned somewhere in the middle of the G-I artists.
Schemes based on location don't have any indicator that an entry has subdirectories. It needs a little "+" or something to let us know.
-
2 things...
-Minor cosmetic issue: First dialog box in setup says 9.0 not 9.1.... the one before the EULA...
- MC still won't play .DAT files (VCDs)... if you rename them to .MPG they play fine... hard to do with a burned disc though.... would it be possible to open up the file format support a bit more? not really sure how MC does valid file checking.. if it's just by file name perhaps it can be changed to do it by file header info...
-
Properties is still an issue. Just doesn't seem natural.
Click on the seperator arrows between the list and artist - album views(?) does not raise or lower the seperator.
Selecting Media Library from the tree and hitting the letter "S" takes you to Start now. Is this intentional? Is it specific to the view panes on the right now?
-
Suggestion:
Picking an Album from the split view needs to be linked to Artist. If browsing albums and you click one it should auto-jump to that artist.

Strange behavior of MC9
I instealled WinXP today and isntalled 9.1.199. At the end of installation, installer executed MC9. It asked me about the initialization of MC9 library. I chose to parse all APL files. It worked fine, but MC9.1 window didn't appear after that. Once, I rebooted machine or terminate MC9 and execute it again, MC9 shows window without any problem. I guess there is some problem at the first run of MC9. Thanks.
-
Been out of the country and kinda lost track of just what is up with new versions of MC - just got back and want to give .199 a try. But first; is it retaining view scheme and tool bar settings from .180?
Thanks much

Still BEGGING for a second property window on the right hand side - the ability to have one set to properties (I'd use the one on the right) and one set to statistics (the left smaller one) would be sooo powerful!!
-
AM BEGGING for this to be added.
Another check box along with: Default search fields, and store inside files - the new option would make the drop down list display ALL the possible values from the library not just the ones that are selected.
I REALLY want the drop down list to have all values for a field that are in the library not just the ones from the currently selected files.

199 will NOT play internet radio . . .
was listening to www.RadioParadise.com
installed 199, opened to my RadioParadise playlist, double clicked as usual No Music . . .
"Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files"
Hmm, worked in last build only 2 minutes earlier . . . My DSL is still active, checked all the simple stuff already ?
-
I noticed that when I right-click the MC button in the Windows taskbar, no menu appears. I normally close my apps by right clicking and selecting Close. I'm pretty sure this works in the most recent non-beta release, which is what I had before downloading the beta.

If a custom filed is created using 9.1 and is later deleted, then data will shuffle between other custom fileds created using 9.1.

"Album Artist (auto)" is listed twice in "Component Type:" listbox in the view scheme edit/add dialog box, specifically. in the "Component Properties" dialog box.

Actually, believe it or not, I created my first custom view scheme tongiht. (That's how I discovered the above oversight.) With the new library's layout, it was just too tempting not to do.
I created an Artist/Rating view scheme. In the "Rating" window, all the expected choices appear: <all>, ?, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. However, if I select "?" (unrated), nothing is matched (which is definitely a bug since 90% of my music is unrated). Selecting the others (individually or grouped) works fine; it's just the unrated choice that seems to do nothing.
(Yes, I know there is an built-in smartlist to display all the unrated tracks, but that doesn't negate the bug above.)

Multiple Artists:
Fixed
MP3 Radio Streaming:
Still broken. Stream sounds like a bad mp3. After attempting to stream from a station, all local mp3s sound messed up until MC is restarted.
New Browsing UI:
Starting to really, really, really like it.
-
If dragging and dropping a file to a "List" field like the Keywords field in the new library view, only that selected value is kept in the field and not added with the already existing value via comma seperated.
-
I am still not able to download cover art. Anyone else have this problem?
-
New view scheme needs to remember where it was last.
If I am playing Audio, then go to TV, then decide to return to Audio (which I do a lot) MC does not remember anything about the last Audio I played.
With sooo much text on the screen I often can't remember where I left off at. >:(
This needs to be resolved ::)
-
Another gripe about current File Properties:
Commands and Tools buttons are no longer available. (Unless there is some obtuse setting that needs to be applied.)
Trying to access Analyze audio, or anything else for that matter, is now a right click deal from one of the panes. Seems like another step that shouldn't be necessary.
Possible change(?):
Select Media Library from the Tree and still be able to select 'All' with a right click or ctrl+A.
-
Small cosmetic note... the search button on 9.1.199 with Z skin has a black square around it. In the green eyes, it doesn't match the fade. I don't overly care, since it doesn't really effect anything but the look. Just figured it should go on the list so it isn't missed later on.

Great work guys, I really love the new look and feel.
One question though: where is the 'insert inside file when possible' checkbox in the image window gone? Maybe the disparition of that checkbox is the reason why I can't insert images in the tags as I used to before 9.1.
What I would do in 9.0 was browse to the cover art, right click the preview in the image window, select paste to clipboard, browse to and select all of the tunes in the album, right click them, and select 'copy from clipboard' in the cover art menu. Voilą.
In 9.1 when I try to paste from the clipboard, the image window show a link to MC's cover art folder but no image. In order to insert the image in the tag, I have to select my tunes, 'add from file' from the cover art menu, and browse for the cover on my HD.
I think the previous system was much more intuitive and easier. Is the checkbox gone forever, or is it some place else I didn't find yet?
-
To the album art - I think it's still fairly messed up. Still seeing the bug I reported on the last build. Also Pastin album art from the clipboard takes a very long time (CPU shoots to 100 for about 10-20 sec before it pastes).
-
When pasting cover art on a file where the album name is blank, the cover art file is called .jpg
This means that all files now with no cover art has that image assigned to it
-
I like the 9.1.199 version very much.
There is one thing I still don't understand.
In the top of the view is the display of the playing file.
Showing songname, album, time, kbps number of total numbers.
But where is the artist name?
I would like the name of the artist in the same display.
Is it possible? If so, please tell me how to do it.

Still cannot resize the window or get my task bar to pop up when the window is maximized.

I agree with this.
This might be just a fluke bug but I thought I might as well just post it.
I was doing a mass analyzing of audio.. when it analyze about 120+ songs, MC just shutdown. No warning, no error. Nothing at all. I've restarted the analzying and now it is doing about 142 songs. I am crossing my finger and hoping it won't happen again.
All in all, the new MC is getting better and better and I like the new library system very much. :)

Where's the "store cover art inside file" option? It appears to have moved.

There seems to be some non-intuitive interface issues between the "Artist" , "Album" mini-windows and the main window & search feature. The issue, in a nut shell, seems to be which of these elements should be dominant?
Example:
I type "Beck" in the search field
The outcome is dependant upon what's highlighted in the mini windows.
If I have "all" highlighted on both the Artist and Album mini window I see all the Beck files in the main window.
However, if I accidentally clicked on anything other than "all" (or Beck) in either mini window my search returns with an empty main window. The user now goes, "What! I know I have lots of Beck songs in here!" and has to figure out what he/she did wrong.
This system is very intuitive if you do everything in the proper order but can be frustrating if you do things backwards (or simply forget to reset the mini windows to all).
I'd suggest expanding the search feature to solve this. The current search field should remain but is renamed to "Search All" or "Search All Library". This field now searches the entire media library regardless of the position of what's highlighted in the mini-windows.
Next, add a search field within each mini window that exclusively searches that particular window (attached to the "artist" heading, perhaps).
(BTW, I know you can click on the search icon and specify to search 'artist', 'album', etc. but that's different. The searches I'm talking about are for organizing the view)
Another thought: add a button that resets all the mini-windows to "all". This would enable a very fast set-up for a totally new search.
Overall, 9.1 is very nice. Very good to look at. Can we expect a mini-me skin soon?
-
Time from start up to playing a song has increased to about 8 seconds. Sometimes the first track starts plays a second then stops for a couple of seconds then carries on. This never happened before 9.1. I guess it is probably just anm optimizatioon thing with the new code and I know this is still only a beta. Guess its just cos your betas always seem more solid than most peoples RTM. Still, any chance of a fix?
PS I used the new GUI to runa disco today at my cousins birthday and it worked great. Very easy for the kids to see what I had on the PC and to choose songs and then add to them to the end of the queue. fantastic. Beats PCDJ for this hands down!

Greetings,
I am having two issues. I still can't get it to burn a cd. I had gone through all of the help fixes and still nothing. Any ideas? I also have a problem right when MC 9.1 starts. It says my trial period is over and if I want to purchase go to the web site. I just click ok and it starts fine. I have already purchased MC9 and when I look in the registration the number is there. Any ideas for this would be appreciated.
-
I'm still new to MC but I'm completely hooked. Some things I noticed while working with 9.1.199:
It would be great if while using Acquire Images we could create a new folder directly in the window when telling where to copy files too.
I burned a music CD, not a data cd, and all the tracks lost all of their naming etc.
The new date handling in 9.1 is great, year, month, day etc. But I don't take pictures every day, couldn't there be a new field made up of just year, month, day? That way maybe only the days that have pictures would show in the list. This would be great for organizing pics. I'm not sure if that made sense or not......
-
Help.. I have been gone a few weeks (OK so now the dummy is back).. went from 180 to 199.. How can I change the look of 199 to look like 180.. this old man hates the new screen.. or is this just a way to get rid of the old guys? so if I must I will go back to 180 and not upgrade again.. Even the Bill Gates STAFF makes things look about the same .. Sorry but I vote for the OLD look.
the Scheme filename (path) does not work, click on the Plus.. nothing happens

DX Host plugins cannot be turned on/off in this build. The plugin checkbox will not allow itself to be checked. Please bring this back as it is a real part of my sound...

On the CD burning issue, what are the symptoms? Could you post your system info here (from the MC help menu). Also, if you send me an email I'll give you instructions on creating a CD burning log file on Monday. I'm sure we can get it figured out.
As to the registration issue, I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe try an uninstall/reinstall. On Monday I can check your license and see if there's any problem with it.

...
Did the tracks lose their names when you view them in MC or in a consumer CD player? Do you have Cd-Text enabled?
-
This may have been noted earlier, but 9.1 no longer supports the standard Windows key strokes for minimizing (Alt-Space+N).

plextor cd writer "write speed" not detected properly.
shows the write speed for cd-rw (10x) as the max speed, should be 16x for cd-r

I Can't Edit The "Date (year)" field unless I go to "Properties"

Maximised window (not full screen) still denies me the Windows task bar! Windows XP Pro SP1. :(

MC crashes on start up if last played file was on removable media (Firewire drive in this case) and the media is not present on start up.
-
What's the deal with the "Recently Playing Now's" playlist group? Every time I add something to Playing Now, a new playlist gets created with the current date and time. They disapear when you restart MC but since I rarely restart, they're piling up fast. Is there a purpose for these things? BTW, you have to hit F5 in the tree to even see the playlists.
They also don't interact well with the drop target....
Restart MC to clear everything out.
Use the right click menu to add something to the end of playing now. The drop target changes to "Add ...".
Drag something to the drop target. It adds to playing now then the drop target changes to the current date and time.
Drag something else to the drop target. It adds to the auto-created playlist with the current date and time (again, you have to keep refreshing the tree to see the lists) but doesn't add to playing now.
-
bug into images/date view scheme
MC seems unable to get Exif date if it is 1/1/any year.
Also if you select a day, let say 5, MC displays every days with "5" -> 5, 15, 25.
-
Also love the new look and feel. One idea: when I enter "Rules" in that search field in the upper-right corner, that field takes over the screen if I put a number of rules there (it expands out to the left). The little "now playing"-type window in the center gets shrunk. Maybe a way to shrink the rules window so that the now-playing area is dominant again? Maybe like the system tray arrow in WinXP?
Thanks

Love the new design ... I was trying out version 9.0. When I downloaded and installed 9.1.199, I purchased the same day.
Nice development plan going here. I like the added flexibility provided by the new navigation system. Very well done.
I do have a problem ... I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's something I'm doing incorrectly. When I choose View > Filter > Show only Audio Files, the list appropriately displays only my music. However, the next time I open the application, the filter is switched back to Show All Files.
Is the application forgetting my setting? Or am I doing something incorrectly?
Thanks again for a very well thought out product!
Edit: Somehow, I've managed to get a small pane in the lower left (below the tree) that allows me to display the cover art. I'm sure this wasn't there before (as I looked for it immediately after installing). Later on, there was the resize bar which allowed this area to be displayed. What did I do? I like having it there, but would like to be able to turn it back on if (?when?) I unintentionally turn it off ;)

I am having problems with the convert format tool. I rip all my files as ape, and then use the convert tool to add a MP3 file to the library. I have the convert set to put the new file somewhere else and not to delete the old file and not to update the library. I am seeing it try and overwrite the ape file as part of the convert. After each file I am asked if I want to overwrite the old file with the new one...

Would it be possible to add the ability to rip from more than one CD at a time? When I have a number of CDs to rip, this would cut my time in half. (Or somewhere near that, due to processing overhead and things.)

199 bug:
folder= query in smartlist seems not working now. I needed to use location= query instead.
-
199 bug (internationalization issue)
Copy and paste of tag information did't copy all information properly. I guess it is copying the number of characters instead of number of bytes. This causes problem if there are multi-bytes character in tag information.
For example, I select several songs and pushd ^C, then paste those information into notepad. If song name/aritist/album titles contains multi-byte characters, the pasted information is cutted at the middle. If I selected 48 songs and copied it, only 20 songs information was pasted into notepad and last song information is cutted at the middle of string.
-
This is obvious, but I don't remember seeing it (may have missed it...)
When you have the main window bottom bar scrolled to the right, then float the mouse over the tabs, the highlighted tab is offset by the distance the bottom bar is scrolled.
Another minor detail that came to mind... on the installer, the 'disable skins' option shows a blank window that says a view isn't available. Can someone get a shot of a non-skinned MC and stick it in there? That way we can tell if no skins are better than the default ones available. Also, it makes the install more polished and professional.
Adding a view scheme (cause I tried to delete a duplicated album list after renaming one, and it deleted the view!!) hung MC. (I went back to default to views and group views and got the scheme back)
Album Artist (auto) is listed twice in the new scheme creator.
This was all worked out a couple days ago though, right? Any idea when we'll see the new update? (I try to be patient, I honestly do!)
(Still think MC is the best thing since the TV remote control!! Testamonials available upon request)
-
Has anyone else noticed that when you're in the DSP Studio and switch to 4 speaker... it changes to 2 speaker when you close it? I can put it on 5.1 and it'll stay (sounds fabulous!) but I'm wondering if this is an issue with sound card detection or if the feature isn't working correctly?
Been playing with visualizations, and this is what I've found.
1) Turning on the DSP Studio and using anything but default speakers or stereo causes the visualization to not see the music. Tried all the settings, and the make or break is that speaker one. I can set it to 4 speakers and let it switch to 2, (mentioned that earlier) and it doesn't work. I can set it to 5.1 so I get my rear speakers working, and vis doesn't react there either.
2) When the visualization isn't reacting it tends to hang my Windows XP, which doesn't happen very often even with all the junk I tend to have on it. While playing with the visualizions, I've had to turn the computer off and on about 8 or 10 times!
3) The Playing Now arrows to switch from vis to track info or whatever doesn't work when there's nothing playing.

Not just ape conversion, wavs too.....
Bugs - 16/06/03
1. Not detecting max burn speed of cd writer (max offered is 10x and should be 16x. 10x is the max RW write speed)
2. Convert from wav to mp3 using the MC's internal encoder attempts to write the converted file as wav, not mp3 and asks about file replacement. The wav file MC attempts to write is in fact an mp3 file with the wrong extension. If yes is chosen from the replace file prompt, the original wav is replaced by this wrongly named mp3 file, if no is chosen, the mp3 file is saved correctly.
3. Rename file from properties is sometimes using the filename instead of the track name for the [NAME] mask.
4. No right-click menu on the task bar entry (system tray is fine)
5. Tool-tips often display the wrong tip (will try to narrow this down)
6. In a view scheme of [RATING]-[ARTIST]-[ALBUM]-[NAME] clicking on "?" in the left-most pane returns nothing when it should reurn all non-rated files.
Wishlist
Please can the view scheme that uses location (root) show a pane for each sub directory?
-
Display bug:
The tooltip for the top of the window displays for the area above the current file area. Now that toolbars can be moved up here, the tooltips conflict with each other.
PS - I have a picture, but the board doesn't appear to allow attaching images :(
-
When starting media by double clicking in the Explorer, can the MC window come to the front, with Playing Now showing? (With the appropriate view, like list of audio files, or video.)
-
Minor usability issues:
1. The multiple columns of the view scheme levels need to be resizeable, as some colums contain lots of info, and others only a few characters. Remember the column widths for a given view scheme.
2. When I finish Editing a View Scheme, MC collapses the Media Library tree and moves to the root "Media Library" node. Please make the focus stay on the View Scheme that I just edited.
3. When Track Info is in Windowed mode, please make it pop to the front whenever I click on the main MC window. It is easy to lose that small window behind others. It should always stay on top of the MC window (but not other applications - that would be BAD!).
Thanks! I like the new UI.

Bug: If you move mouse over bottom border of the window in a place where there are no toolbar buttons above it, then move the mouse upwards, it continues to look like a resize arrow even when you are not in the resize zone. Also happens on the size borders, but not as much.
Complaint: To get a diagonal resize arrow, you have to have the pointer right on the corner - very little tolerance. Most apps allow diagonal resize within a large are, especially in the lower-right corner.

Can we get a checkbox to AUTOMATICALLY close CD Burner or CD Ripper when it's finished? And can they go into the back of the window stack when we click on the MC main window?
Speaking of the window stack... can we get a Window option in the File, Edit, View menu? (not a real use for it at the moment, since it seems the windows don't stack - they just appear on top of the main window, but if you allow windows to stack behind the main it would be extremely handy to be able to pull one out.)

BUG: MC 9.1.199 does not respond to minimize command from Microsoft Intellipoint. I have a 5-button mouse. One of those buttons is configured to "Minimize" in Intellipoint, but MC ignores it. It worked in MC 9.0 and all other apps I use.

Media Center 9 when using Slideshow plugin will lock up while Slideshow is searching the internet for images. It happens when the message "retrieving images" is displayed in the "playing now" window.
The mouse will move around the screen but single clicks, double clicks, right clicks etc don't do anything.

.199 BUG: The right-click context menu is missing on the Task Bar for MC 9.1 (worked in 9.0).
Also, if you left-click on the task bar button when MC is open and in the front, that is supposed to minimize it, but it doesn't.
