WARNING: This is beta software, do not download and install it if you are not sure of your abilities to deal with bugs.
Please backup your library and your license.
(note: you can use "Help->Check for Updates" if you've installed a previous beta of 8.0 to reduce the download size)
History:
1. Fixed: InstallWizard would not close Media Server during installation.
2. Fixed: Contact Author link would not work correctly.
3. Fixed: Full screen display bars / mouse would disappear after mouse clicks.
4. Changed: Full screen display bars / mouse disappear timer set to 5 seconds. (from 2-3)
5. NEW: Added spin control to number of copies in CD Writer tool.
6. Fixed: Sizing arrows would display even when MJ was maximized. (MEGA-ME)
7. Fixed: List controls would have non-painted regions at their top. (MEGA-ME / Win2k)
8. Fixed: Tab in Playlist view did not switch the focus to the tree.
9. Fixed: Playback time display would start above 0 with large immediate buffering selected.
10. Fixed: Starting a new track right when MJ was finishing the last track could cause problems.
11. Fixed: In Import files window & would be replaced with _ in file names.
12. Fixed: Media Jukebox would lose its keyboard focus when switching between apps.
13. Fixed: Media Jukebox would do too aggressive of an update when dragging files from a list to the tree.
14. Fixed: Long time visualization leak. (would not properly destroy internal buffers on Win9x)
15. Fixed: Double-clicking on Track Info to toggle full-screen mode would make funny IE selections.
16. Changed: No longer 3 display plugin modes (MEGA-ME, mini-me, Full-Screen) -- now just mini-me and MEGA-ME / Full-Screen.
17. Fixed: Media Jukebox's database would become corrupt and "lose" files if a field in the ID3V2 tag exceeded 10k.
18. Fixed: Media Jukebox's database would become corrupt if ";"'s were used in the Album Artist.
19. Fixed: Two minimize buttons would be visible in some windows ( Green Eyes skin ).
20. Changed: Added "Gapless" to playback between-tracks modes. (same as Standard -> 0 gap, but more intuitive)
21. Fixed: Gapless playback wouldn't kick-in the new track right away on manual track changes.
22. Fixed: Disk Writer would not close the last file it wrote.
22. Fixed: Importing or trying to play some asx files would lock MJ.
23. Fixed: Download Manager would not import files correctly into Media Jukebox.
Post by: ZRocker on April 29, 2002, 02:23:09 pm
5. NEW: Added spin control to number of copies in CD Writer tool.
1. It would be nice if the control worked...you might need to add some code to support the spin control...as is, it does nothing.
Fixed: Contact Author link would not work correctly.
2. This links to the author's webpage...not the author's email. Typically, you contact the author via email...am I missing something? Why did you get rid of the two URL support (website and email)?

I asked for a single point of contact (email or web).
Post by: nila on April 29, 2002, 03:29:22 pm
All the track info that used to display there is gone now.
Also - I need to know what Ports does Media Jukebox use to do what with so I can create an appropriate rule in my firewall.

Confirmed as fixed
12. Fixed: Media Jukebox would lose its keyboard focus when switching between apps.
Confirmed as fixed
22. Fixed: Importing or trying to play some asx files would lock MJ.
Confirmed as fixed
I can confirm Dragyn's problem. Libraries are grayed out.
MP3 playback still squeaks and pops if you analyse replay gain on another mp3. This has happened in EVERY MJ8 build so far, and I've reported it regularly. Can you reproduce not it, is it hard to fix or is it too low on your list of priorities?
Back to build 160
2. Fixed: After using Update Library MJ would jump behind other windows.
This has come back, but only if Remove Files is checked
Focus problems getting better. Many thanks
. Ones still turning up:Selecting a track in Media Library and pressing Return to play it looses keyboard focus (with Jump to Playing Now turned off)
Selecting a single file and pressing Alt-Enter leaves focus in the main window with no way of editting properties.
Editting Genre in File Properties then pressing Return loses focus entirely.
Keep up the good work though

Then ran b160 on my desktop intending to do Ctrl-J to update that too and was greeted with
"You are trying to open a library that is too new for this version. Please install latest version"
In this case, it would be a lot friendlier if it would automatically take you to the update screen.

In the currently playing window, try the little dark triangles and the grid in between. If that doesn't work, start a new thread.

replay gain issue may have to wait --not sure -- we do notice what you say but ....
Post by: cjdshaw on April 29, 2002, 03:52:24 pm
OK, that's cool.
Another replay gain problem though
. I often have to analyse replay gain twice. I seems like the values don't get saved the first time.
Post by: dragyn on April 29, 2002, 03:59:24 pm
When I open options or something similar when playing, it doesn't seem to do this. Mega-Me skin On or Off (I thought it was a video problem).
Can anyone confirm this? Maybe I drive with the music too loud?
-
Using a sound card that has no volume control hides the volume slider position. Any way to hide the background image for volume also? Looks like one of my old broken radios with the sliders broke off.
-
Using a 640X480 display overlaps text in the player window (default player window setup settings, unreadable). I think something needs to be changed here as it will be noticable to new users with no knowledge of changing this option. Just a FYI.
-
When changing the font, the display for the new font doesn't update in options (sample font, when Mega-Me skin is on)
-
Unable to install Arsenolite. Package failed. Happens on two of my systems.

I've noticed this a lot of times. What I do is change an entry (artist, custom) to write the new tag, save, reopen. Then I do the replay gain. Never fails this way.
-
Since when does MJ not update the tree view schemes when changing libraries? Bug? Feature? I always that that was separate too.
-
Videos do not resize properly when starting. Always have to resize the window/slider to make it 100% viewable (internal, not windowed, autohide off, cuts off bottom area (where the bar is)). When windowed and brought back to internal, it does not do this.

> Resizing the player window still lets the position slider track out of dashed lines.
I don't see this on XP Home. Video driver problem?
Post by: sekim on April 29, 2002, 04:31:22 pm
UPDATE - I think it is a skin specific problem, try Green Eyes and see if it does it for you then.
UPDATE - Positive that it is a Green Eyes glitch. None of the other skins do this.

Remote Control : Next\Previous Playlists skip Smartlists.
Display Window : I can't uncheck "Auto-Hide Bars"
Display Window : The vis/track info selection bar doesn't sync with what is displayed until the bars hide and then are re-shown. If bars are set to not Auto Hide, then it never syncs.
MEGA-ME Skinning : When I slide the content view\tree view bar, I get weird drawing errors, but only for the duration of the drag.
MEGA-ME Skinning : Occasionally, I'll see flashes of that bight purple/pink color that's used for transparencies. (Resizing Statistics, Gathering File Properties, etc.)
MEGA-ME Skinning : MJ bug or just Green Eyes skin? Notice the position slider.
CD Burner : The "Number of Copies" Spin Control doesn't work.

In the interest of user friendliness, I think one should probably go in Options where you can specify number of days to check for updates too.

Not listening to anything for a change - going to read 'Theoodore Rex'.

When in a playlist, after a file has stopped playing, when I click on another song I hear a fraction of a second of the previous song followed almost at once by the newly chosen song.
Is anyone else experiencing this. Thanks.

Send to CD burner still puts double copies of everything sent to it in the burn queue. Not to be a pest about this, but it seems a rather easy one to fix...
Can't reproduce this here. Can you give me your system info and the sequence of steps that you take. Anyone else seeing this?
Thanks,

If you send files to the CD burner, and then just choose the CD Burner from the device list, it works fine.

When you use a Track Info page (have one home-made) with TRACKINFO_INSERT_LAST_PLAYED, it displays not the last time the track was played, but the current time. for instance, if I played a song 2 days ago (2002-04-30) at 20:36 and plays it today (2002-04-30 23:06), it displays the last date/time. Renders quite useless then, don't you think?

Doof,
Do you mean you the credentials you entered in the Options -> Authentication section? Those credentials are for the destination sites and it cannot be passed to the intermediary proxy server.
