History

1. Fixed: When a media server database was selected, MC sometimes displayed the "newly inserted media" dialog.
2. Fixed: When downloading YADB info for CD's, the "year" field wasn't coming through.
3. Fixed: Tabbing through the YADB submission name list didn't work properly.
4. Changed: Choice of CD ripping modes reduced to three: Normal, Secure, Analog.
5. Changed: CD information gathered from YADB is "cleaned up" (capitalization, etc.).
6. Fixed: MC would not properly thumbnail videos that were on data CD's.
7. Fixed: Uninstaller could report "failed to load product info" and fail.
8. Fixed: Tagging mode checkboxes were hard to see with some skins.
9. Changed: Reversed mute image states in playerbar.
10. Changed: MC no longer allows a filename to be changed to be the same as another filename in the database.
11. NEW: Added experimental Megamorphis skinning DSP layer. (see other thread for more details)

Please look at this thread regarding no volume control:

As reported in 9.1.289

when you use "Clean" and you have "image" checked it changes "Inside file" to "Internal" and the images are no longer displayed.

Is it possible to remove the volume icon when the volume slider is removed like it was in 9.0?
MC can't change the volume (24/96) so it would look better if that was gone as well.

I'm getting a <this folder> in the root directory of a disk location scheme. When clicking on it in "Audio/Video", it shows all files. It's not showing for Images.

This shouldn't even be there since it's technically impossible for files to not be on a drive. Also when double-clicking on Media Library, only Audio files are added too.

Is my database messed up or is something else going on? I still can't import without MC crashing 20 times a day. MC crashes on anything disk related. (Import, DVD, was doing it on CDs but not anymore).

When using the Media Server to access the library and files from a second system on the LAN, the "playing now -- track info" screen does not show the album art.  Where the album art should be is a little white square with a red X.  The image DOES, however, display in both the action window and in the 3D visualizations -- i.e. the system is obviously seeing the image, it just doesn't show up when on the "track info" screen.  The image also shows up when mousing over the tracks in the list.

I just updated my server machine to this version (from 289) to try and solve the "image" issue above, and now I get a media server crash every time I try to access the server from the client.  It works for few moments -- it loads the library and I can start to play a song -- but when I try to switch to another song it stops responding.  When I check the server, I see a message that "media server has generated errors and will be shut down."

In other words, media server seems to be broken for me at the moment -- I cannot get the client to work properly because of media server crashes on the server.

Thanks for any help with this,

Larry

In 9.1.298, I can't burn any CDR.  When I click on RIP, MC crashes.  Have anyone look at this problem?

Not a bug - but its impossible to do this:

Have a bunch of songs in playing now - then filter those songs (enter search criteria) then play JUST those songs.

I often do this if I'm rating an album - I play the album - then I try to filter by songs not yet rated to just play those again to rate them.

It filters them fine but there's no way to make it JUST play those songs - Could we PLEASE have some way of doing this?

I always thought just:  Update playlist order - would have been appropriate to then just play the files currently showing

For problems like crashes, please start a thread with details and ask if others can duplicate it.  We may be down to the "noise" level where hardware problems are manifesting themselves.

I think this is a bug. If you adjust the volume slider in MC, the Master volume in the Windows Volume Control moves insync even though MC is set to use the M-Audio card. Im using both the M-Audio and onboard audio on my system (my onboard audio is SoundMax). Can you reproduce this?
Title: Problem with import of m4a files
Post by: jeffh on October 28, 2003, 09:30:48 am
I am still having a problem with the import of m4a files. About 10% of the time I still am getting files that have a bitrate and duration of 0. These files were created with QTpro 6.4 and correctly show up and play as aac files in itunes. On files where I get a bitrate I am getting 125 when itunes reports 128. Not sure this is related or not.

Title: Thumbnail preview of video files on CD media works but...
Post by: bobrock on October 28, 2003, 12:03:56 pm
 :D

Thanks for MC 9.1.290 update!
Preview of VIDEO files stored on CD media works but...

When the CD media with video files is present in CD ROM and "List Style->Thumbnails" everything is fine!

When the CD media is NOT present in CD ROM, MC shows the image of 1st video as a preview of EACH video file  ?

Please improve this as it's much easier to find particular Video "offline" having accurate preview and than get correct CD.
