WMA radio stations still don't work.  I know these are stations that used to work since these are the ones I bookmarked in my "My Stations" box.  If you want to test the problem, just pull up the list of "Radio Free Virgin" stations and start going down the list.  They all produce the error:

"Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files.

Windows Media Error:
The specified stream type is not recognized.

Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location."


Should I stop reporting this?  Can someone from J River confirm that they know about this problem?  Others have reported the same issue, but I've never seen a response to this issue from any J River people, so I'm in the dark as to what the status of this is.

Thanks,

Larry

Still no DSP Studio with this version.

Coverart is broken in all Track Info Display Plugins when connected to a MediaServer.  All you get is a  red X, not even the missing coverart image.  Coverart works in all other Display Plugins, so it doesn't look like an issue of MediaServer not serving it correctly.

BTW this has been broken FOREVER and reported MULTIPLE times...  It would be great to have this working again!

It seems like the Help->Plus Features... menu item should be removed, now that this is no Standard/Plus version distinction.

Title: Re:Media Center 10.0.88 and transfers to removable memory cards
Post by: jantypas on March 10, 2004, 09:47:58 pm
This worked in the 9.1 series... I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing problems in 10.

I've got a USB flash card writer attached to the machine running MC 10.0.88.  When I create a smart list and then do a "Send to" removable drive (letter), the process starts, and all files are transcoded appropriately, but during the transfer phase, a screen window briefly pops up and then immeidately disappears.  No error messages are generated, but at theend, there's nothing on the card.

These are all WMA files.  They all play and copy to CDs fine.  However, the transfer log shows ALL files are failing because they are of an unsupported file type.

If you start MC, don't let anything play, and then click the Player > DSP Studio menu item, do you see anything?

If not, close MC, erase these reg keys, and try again:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Properties\DSP Studio Left
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Properties\DSP Studio Top

4. Fixed: Doing a 'Next' during fullscreen video playback could make it so the bars / mouse didn't work as expected.
Just like that, and it's fixed. Nice one.

Sadly though, from 10.0.84 (I think)...
Library manager is still allowing pathnames with invalid characters ('*', '|', etc...) to be entered. This means you can set up an entire library and find that it doesn't actually save anything. Oh well...

Scott.

Bug ?

At the top, MC10 gives the title and the track's duration and the time elapsed, ok ?

MC gives 7:50 / 2:37 !!!!  at the end of the track ! (for exemple "perfect"!)

This error of calculation seem frequently .... but MC is  perfect when he gives the time remaining.

Actually it seems to be the link off the Web Media for all Windows Media stations.  If you put the link in via the File menu it works fine, however if you click the link off Web Media it crashes out Windows Media Player so you have to restart Media Center and use url again.  A bit of a pain as you have to store the windows media radion stations somewhere else for reference.  I am using Windows Media Player version 9.00.00.3075 as there may have been changes / problemw with Windows Media player and not media center as some old stuff doesn't work in this client as well....

WMA radio stations still don't work.  I know these are stations that used to work since these are the ones I bookmarked in my "My Stations" box.  If you want to test the problem, just pull up the list of "Radio Free Virgin" stations and start going down the list.  They all produce the error:

"Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files.

Windows Media Error:
The specified stream type is not recognized.

Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location."


Should I stop reporting this?  Can someone from J River confirm that they know about this problem?  Others have reported the same issue, but I've never seen a response to this issue from any J River people, so I'm in the dark as to what the status of this is.
