http://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111057.exe

11.1.57 (11/14/05)
1. Changed: The initial "do you want to recognize this device" prompt uses a display name instead of a drive letter for removable devices. (i.e. Sony PSP vs Removable Drive (F:))
2. Fixed: The Sony PSP would not always load its settings from the PDT properly.
3. NEW: Path creation options are fully customizable for handhleds in Options > Handheld > Advanced. (on a per media type basis)
4. Changed: Removed right-click option for folder creation in removable drive type handhelds. (replaced by #3)
5. Fixed: Picking "Add Device..." and then clicking cancel right away would leave a non-visible device in the device list.
6. Changed: When doing "Add Device...", the user must now pick a path explicitly. (instead of defaulting to C:\ which would take a long time to analyze)
7. Changed: Fixed drive type device no longer support all audio formats by default so non-standard types will get converted. (supported types can be edited in Options > Handheld > Advanced)
8. Fixed: While a handheld was analyzing files on startup, Media Center would not gracefully cancel when closing. (would instead warn that it couldn't close until the action finished)

11.1.56 (11/11/05)

1. Changed: When podcast episodes are deleted on the Podcast Feed page, their status immediately goes back to "Click to Download" or "Waiting".
2. Changed: When <keep_space_needed> is set non-zero the Podcast Feed page shows them as status "Purge(*)" where * shows the reason for purge.
3. Changed: Reduced window size for hardware style previous button to 1.5 seconds.
4. Changed: Improved device handling for some Samsung players.

11.1.55 (11/10/05)

1. Changed: Seeks during playback happen in a worker thread so seeking on an http:// stream can't cause a hang.
2. Changed: Revised "date ago" search syntax -- flipped greater than and less than compares to be more intuitive.
3. Changed: Revised "date ago" search syntax -- use suffixes instead of prefixes. (i.e. [Date Imported]=>4y)
4. Fixed: Media Center better handles WMDM devices that have duplicate files on them.
5. Changed: Media Center will create album / album art on any WMDM device that supports it. (instead of just devices in the PDT)
6. Changed: The album name on media-center style WMDM devices no longer has .alb at the end.
7. Fixed: Formatting a WMDM device, and immediately transferring files again could cause issues.
8. Changed: Album-style players now have files ordered in their albums regardless of the order they were sent.
9. Changed: Media Center does a better job of fully recognizing content uploaded with other software on an album-style WMDM device.
10. Changed: Ripping while CD not present gives a better message box, allowing cancel.
11. Fixed: Hidden services no longer re-appear on reinstall.
12. Changed: Shortcuts no longer get (re)created during an upgrade install.

Hi J River,

started to look at the new MC 11.1 for the last few versions.

Unfortunately my German freeware virus scanner "AntiVir" recognizes the file "Tivobeacon.exe" as a virus and warns me to continue with the installation. Never had this before. It warns at least 3 times!

you can find the antivirus program at www.antivir.de (http://www.antivir.de)

Hi Jaguu,
Can you report that to the software maker?

tiny bug: cover art spectrum visualiser seems to cause a few probs for MC 11.1.057 - i've had it crash on me a couple of times when using this visual. at best, you get the spectrum and something resembling the cover art.

also, this is an old one i thought i may as well bring up - on maximising the window whilst library browser is the only view (no tree or anything else) on a 1400x1050 screen there is a bunch of white space where there should be library browser entries. here's a pic to demonstrate:

(http://www.shirlainephotos.co.uk/mclibbrowbug.JPG)

it seems when the window is at certain sizes it repositions and sizes the items accordingly so they take up the width of the view but when the window is at other sizes there is the white space. just a little'un i thought you might want to look into.
