Media Jukebox 9.0 beta 4 is available.
IMPORTANT-- This is beta software -- some things don't work, some things crash, and your database and tags may not be totally safe.
If you're sure you want to continue, you can download the preview here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaJukebox90077.exe
Changes
1. Fixed: Renaming tree items was disabled for database fields.
2. Fixed: Grouping schemes that showed individual items underneath didn't work properly for "unassigned" items.
3. Fixed: Several other grouping scheme related issues.
4. Fixed: Search wizard allows searching for empty fields. (i.e. genre=[])
5. Fixed: Search wizard would return "-" when selecting no fields, then exclude, then hitting OK.
6. Fixed: Search field="-" didn't do what field=- did. (it was range searching between the characters " and ")
7. Changed: Removed "get info from filename" option from the import dialog. (because it's easily available later in the tools menu)
8. Fixed: "Don't import short files (under 5 seconds)" option was not working.
9. Fixed: Media Player and XP don't understand unsynched ID3v2 tags, so MJ no longer uses unsynchronization.
10. Fixed: Update DB would remove all files from DB when selecting "Remove files that do not exist".
11. Fixed: AVI playback would not function after installing Media Jukebox.
12. Fixed: Disk writer was not working.
13. NEW: Added "break tracks" option to disk writer.
14. Changed: Beefed up "suppress silence" option to suppress leading and trailing silence. (makes better fades, and makes gapless mp3 playback possible)
15. Changed: MP3 plugin better for gapless playback.
16. Fixed: Media Jukebox could dead-lock when stopping playback under some rare situations.
17. NEW: Added "Listening To" button to toolbar.
18. Fixed: CD burning with "decode direct.." unchecked didn't show correct progress indication and could hang MJ.
19. Added: Synchronization capabilities for Handhelds (iPod specific for now).
20. Fixed: Column order and size saving when leaving Handheld view.
21. Fixed: Playing images would sometimes not start properly.
Keep in mind that at this stage, we're getting more bug reports than we can fix each build. Please keep a list of bugs you find, and re-report anything that doesn't get fixed each build.
Thanks for your help, support, and patience.

Matt,
> 9. Fixed: Media Player and XP don't understand unsynched ID3v2 tags, so MJ no longer uses unsynchronization.
what is an unsynchronised tag? could you (or anyone else) just give me a quick hint?

what is an unsynchronised tag? could you (or anyone else) just give me a quick hint?
MP3 frames are identified by a certain sequence of bits. Unsynchronization is a technique to make sure that identifier doesn't occur in the tag part of the file. (because a decoder would think it was in the audio part -- not the tag) Media Jukebox should not be affected by this change -- it knows to skip the ID3v2 tag.
-
- Always when opening MJ, it says "Updating Media Jukebox Database" and the Playing now is always empty, also Playing now and Media library are always collapsed (whatever settings in the options are specified)
- When clicking on my portable drive, I get the error message : "Cannot find plug-in Portable Drives", when clicking OK on that box, MJ crashes
- When trying to write a CDR with playback settings selected, Writing goes fine until the end I get the error message : "No additional sense information". Then I cannot eject my CD anymore until I powerdown my PC and back on

- Installing the new build, mp3 plugin losses the current 'tag saving' setting.
- Installing the new build, MJ losses the current association 'Files association' setting.
- Properties windows and Main windows continues to display 'Image File' = "Inside File" after to delete tag from the file.
- Selecting thousands of tracks takes a very long time (and there is no way to cancel it). Why ?
-
Matt,
thanks for the quick reply.
So if I understand that right, with mp3 player that are not ID3V2 aware it could happen that playback starts with some static noise when not using unsynchronised tags?
but as probably every /modern/ mp3 player should be aware of ID3V2 tags no such problems shoud show up in every days usage.....
Ingo
-
- Installing the new build, MJ losses the toolbar customization.
- "one cover per album" list style doesn't run in a My Computer/folder view.
-
One of my mp3 files doesn't like RG. Has a positive value even after removing tags, reimporting, and reanalysing. Should I send for further analysis?

What is the listening to button supposed to do? All I get when I hit it is my registration info.
~ Adam ~
-
Listening To copies what you are listening to to the clipboard. It's accessible from the right click menu of Playing Now. The toolbar button should make it easier but I am too getting registration info.
-
Not listed Above: Analyze is also fixed
-
Gapless playback is almost perfect
There are some files where there is a nearly imperciptible click, on others I can't hear it. Anyway, it's an excellent job and for me it's fine as it is.
Thanks guys :)
Update: On a side note, the little click is on the resulting WAV too if I select Disk Writer. Maybe this helps.

Beta 4 is giving me burning problems. All previous 9 versions burned fine. Now I get Message 112: No additional Sense Information.
What is that?

Also lost most toolbar customization and tray won't eject without rebooting.
-
- ape/apl files show as incomplete for album type. This is caused by the ape image file being imported into the library.
- search window doesn't show all criteria listed. (non-scrollable).
- search window doesn't update when changing windows' colors (skinning disabled).
- search window disappears when viewing file properties in windowed mode.
- searching random tracks, ie: ~t=60, ~s=650, etc, hides files hidden by the view filter resulting in an incomplete list.
- analyzing streamed files (http://) for replay gain stalls as there is no end.
- remaining_time counts up for live http streams only in visualizations.
- "name" isn't update in visualizations/track info for live http streams when id3 info is available.
- "location/filename" crashes mj when http streams are imported into the database.
- view schemes and groups are not in alphabetical order yet they are in alphabetical order for the scheme type. ie: "video" scheme would be above "audio" group.
- favorite toolbar button doesn't update unless it's used to add the favorite. restarting mj will refresh the list. this is from using the right click menu in the tree.
-
A couple of builds ago we moved where settings are stored. All MJ customization will be lost because of this change. (toolbar, settings, etc.)
Sorry. It shouldn't happen again.
-
Wahoo!!! :)
The "Full Album" modifier in Search (a VERY cool concept btw) works! :)
-=Tim=-

I am also experiencing the analyze feature's memory leak, as somebody mentioned in the previous beta 3 thread. I have experienced this problem throughout MJ 8 and now into 9. Up until this beta, it would usually analyze about 100-150 files before Windows (XP) would report an "out of virtual memory" error and my system would slow to a crawl leaving MJ stuck and forced to be quit. When I tried it tonight with beta 4, it got through 7 files before this problem occured. Any idea what's up? Here's my system info:

Current Status...
- FIXED: When "Decode directly to CD" is unchecked, MJ doesn't lock anymore but during the writing of the raw temp file, status changes as each file is written but the file progress bar only show a notch or 2 for each file.
- FIXED: Update Library with the "remove files which do not exist" clears the entire library.
- FIXED: With Album Artist (Auto) grouped at 2, artists that are empty cause an empty "(unassigned)" entry in the "(others)" group as well as an empty "(unassigned)" entry in the top level view scheme. If I click on the "(others)" entry, I do see the tracks with the empty artists.
- FIXED: View schemes grouped by fields starting with numbers aren't working. With Artist grouping level set to 3, the artist "311" shows up in the "0-9" group but there's also a "309-311" group with nothing in it.
- Test Pending: When "Decode directly to CD" is unchecked, and you burn more than 1 CD, the raw temp file is deleted and recreated for each CD instead of using the one created at the start of the first burn. When the problem with "Response Code 112" is fixed, I'll test this.
- New: Getting "Response Code 112: No additional sense data" as the audio burn of the last track completes. Leaves drive locked and spinning at full speed. Have to reboot.
- New: Getting "Updating Media Jukebox Library" message when starting MJ and then find that playing now has been cleared.
- Open: View schemes that search the removables database aren't displaying all of the entries. Manually searching with a "~d=c" does show all entries. (documented separately)
- Open: If you select "Custom" as the MP3 Encoder Quality, the "Advanced" dialog allows you to select only bitrate instead of allowing you to specify custom command line parameters which is what it used to do.
- Open: "Calculate replay gain during ripping" isn't doing anything.
- Open: During a convert from wav to mp3, the track name is changed from
"[NAME]" to "[TRACK #] - [NAME]".
- Open: The Import dialog still shows the old style patterns for setting properties from the directory and filename. It also seems to not actually do anything even if corrected.
- Open: The Erase CD/RW Option is always greyed out.
- Open: Internal ASPI layer isn't detecting TDK VeloCD burners (CDRW4800B and CDRW241040B) as writers when connected to a Promise PCI ATA/100 IDE Controller (which Windows treats as a SCSI controller). If connected to the motherboard IDE controller or an add-in IDE card DETECTED as an IDE card or when using Adaptec's ASPI they are detected correctly.
- Open: If you connect to a media server with a V8 database, V9 asks if you want to upgrade the database and re-analyze the files. It should simply return an error message saying you can't connect to a server with a downlevel database. If you press cancel on the upgrade message, MJ crashes.
- Open: Converting MP3 to WAV (as a test) with the results directed to a new directory. The wav file is created in the new location correctly but then MJ attempts to copy it over the original mp3 file with the mp3 file extension. In earlier releases I got a pop-up that asks if I want to replace file "original name.mp3" with size 5mb with "original name.mp3" with size 52mb. In this release, I get an "Error moving file or folder", "The file exists."
- Open: In "File Naming and Location" you can't enter paths with leading or trailing periods. I.E. If I try to enter a path for track images like "m:\.coverart" the period gets stripped out as soon as I move the cursor out of the entry field. Any valid file system path should be allowed.
- Open: When collapsing "Auto Smartlists (audio)" after selecting one of the random or favorite lists, the app hangs for about 10 seconds while spinning the cpu at 100%. (maybe not a "problem", but it's still a pain)

Ok, I've really got to get this off my chest! =)
Is this trend towards grouping settings and options in with the function that they affect just going to get worse?
Am I the only one who hates having to run a module or function to get at the settings for it?
Now I see that the encoding settings have moved from the "options" menu to the "settings" menu which is only available when ripping or converting. Augh!!!
(Can I get an AMEN??)
-
media server under tools is spelled medai and where is the connect to server option?
-
Still no ripping. I've played around with the settings as in starting with minimum features ... still won't rip. Open Drive Failed, etc.

In the File Prperties window, I select an .mpg file and click through to the format selection, MJ tries to download something but it fails. Any ideas? Thanks!
-
I agree with Mr X although in a nicely worded way :)
It's now alot harder to find alot of options for MJ.
I know your trying to re-do the options screen but I dont think removing options and putting them else where is the answer.
Everyone still wants all the options to be in the options window.
-
- CD Copy settings/Encoding: 'custom' quality for ogg/vorbis encoder doesn't give access to 'advanced options'.
- Renaming a 'customi' field doesn't run.
- Opening 'Edit field' windows into 'Tree & View settings' leads to loss columns setting (all columns become displayed), even if no change is done on the field.
-
Bugs:
Installation
- A msgbox appears with the following text: Low system resources. Please close all running applications. Clicking continue works fine anyway.
- During installation of WM files, the following error appears: Error registering the OCX C:\Winnt\System32\l3codeca.acm. This has been here since early MJ8b.

Beta 4 is giving me burning problems. All previous 9 versions burned fine. Now I get Message 112: No additional Sense Information.
What is that?
This is a known bug introduced in this release. It will be fixed in the next release. Sorry about that.
For others whose burners are working with MJ9, please post your system info in the thread "New MJ burner: does your drive work with it?". We'd like to hear about the drives that work as well as the ones that don't.
Thanks!

How do I connect to MJ Media Servers now ? (same prob as sstrick)
I did see the new Local Library in the library management .. Im guessing something BIG is coming down the pipe ...
Wouldnt it be SWEET if we could setup multiple remote libraries and be able to manage them all at the same time :) (pipe dream ? or next beta build ? )

I just installed MJ9.077. At the end it asked to restart windows. After to restart, it displayed that:

Source: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\Setup\MJShellExt.dll
Destination: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\MJShellExt.dll
I clicked "OK" anyway and it is installed (I didn't check yet if there are some problem running it though).

I got the same thing at home (don't have system info here at work, though, sorry) last night. I didn't notice any errors when using MJ though.
I am sure to have checked it was registered again. It was.
I just restarted it and I got "unregistred... 0 days left in the trial period" ?
-
Now I just tried to restore my licence (on the disk as I have one valid still) and it is registered successfully.
There is a problem with licence.
-
Just want to say I'm impressed! Probably already aware
of the fact that 'Media Server' is mispelled in the [Tools]
menu. Currently "Medai Server"- V.77 8
