Bugs:
1. Try navigating the new skinned MEGA-ME Menus using only the keyboard (like ALT-H and Up/Down arrow keys).  Notice that the selection disappers on disabled items and on separator bars. Also, there should be a background highlight color even for disabled menu items so you can follow where the selection is.
2. When using the menu shortcuts for the Download Manager via the keyboard, you always hear the system default sound (beep) as if you've typed an invalid key...the shortcuts do work now, though.

Ah what?

17. NEW: Download Manager will always import downloaded files.

Why?  I surely don't like that...I don't import 75% of the MP3s I download with the Download Manager.

Post by: gvag on April 12, 2002, 04:27:30 pm
I thot I saw a mention in the thread of a previous release about a new smart keying feature in the Tree List.  e.g. starting from the Artist/Album node if I type 'c' I go to Cannonball Adderly, now if I type 'e' I go to Cecil Taylor.  Or maybe it was only someones wishlist item.

247 and 248 are really problematical when it comes to going to even the initial letter pressed in the Tree.  Sometimes it will move once or twice then just stall, other times it will wrap back to the start point.

After fooling with it for a bit as I write this it turns out that a 2 count solves the problem:
press 'c'
one thousand one
one thousand two
press 'c'
and the selection changes.  Any faster and it gets stuck.

Also the tree list does not keep the focus if MJ looses the focus.  If I alt-tab back to MJ and use the 'up' or 'down' keys nothing happens.  If I alt-tab tab the tree gets the focus back.

I just didn't know how to spell "differentiate" or whether it was even a real word, so I just though--what the heck--I want to sound impressiive but not do a spell check, so I'll throw a long word and no one's gonna bother to look it up (or even read it in all liklilhoodednessly).

MEGA-ME Bugs:
1. The Sent-To Target bar paints oddly after MJ is running for a few minutes...seems to have to do with clicking on Org Tree nodes.  It flickers (to the music?) and requires an MJ restart to clearup.  See:


2. Also, everytime you change nodes in the Org Tree (via mouse clicks or hot-keys), the words MEDIA JUKEBOX in the title bar flicker in a brighter blue color.

JimH -
ctl-f jumps to Media Library and starts a search in the track listing pane.

Bug.  The DFX plugin worked in 247 but in 248 MJ would lockup when I hit play or ask me to check the playback settings. Tried disabling DFX in the DSP window, no help.  ctl-alt-del to close MJ and couldn't restart MJ.  Tried normal restart of Windows and had to hit the Reset button to reboot.  Uninstalled DFX, rebooted and everything's working again.

Setting/Options/Startup/Disable Media Scheduler doesn't stick.  Restart Windows and the Scheduler is in the Task Tray.

Hi

When I send my entire library to Playing Now the volume is cut in half when they play.  I confirmed this by sending one song to Playing Now and the volume doubled.  My volume was set at 44% both times.

Can somebody confirm this or is it my old tired system. If it is can you e-mail my wife so I can upgrade!!!!

Thanks

Bugs

If I'm typing something in MJ (editting a field in Content View for instance) when the Vis Bars Auto-Hide, they steal the focus away from the text box.

If I'm in Playing Now and I hit either Ctrl-F or the Find toolbar button, MJ jumps to the Find box, but the text box loses focus. Hitting Ctrl-F or the toolbar button again puts the focus where it belongs. This only happens if I'm in Playing Now when I hit Find.

Track Info : The Edit Properties link no longer functions. Has this been changed or removed?

DSP Studio : Equalizer remembers which preset I was using but it doesn't set the sliders right after a restart of MJ.

Analyzing Devices : This comes up way too often. I liked it much better when it only showed up when I actually opened the Devices branch (although even then I have to wonder what the point of it is - isn't it obvious that when I open the devices branch that MJ is going to analyze them?).

Remote Control : Next\Previous Playlists skip Smartlists.

MEGA-ME Skinning : The File Properties progress box that comes up when you load up a bunch of files into File Properties isn't skinned.

MEGA-ME Skinning : Explorer Tree Views (Like when you browse for a location) look ugly because the folder icons aren't skinning correctly.

Requests

Can the "Enlarge Menus" option be a seperate setting for Full Screen, MEGA-ME, Windowed, and mini-me? Or at least Full Screen from the other three?

Can the "Auto-Hide Bars" option be a seperate setting for Full Screen, MEGA-ME, and Windowed? This time I want it seperate for all three - the behavior I want in MEGA-ME (Auto-Hide OFF) is not the same as what I want for Full Screen and Windowed mode (Auto-Hide ON). Or I guess if MEGA-ME was just separate from the other two that would work for me too, but I imagine others would feel differently so maybe a separate option for every mode?

On the CD Burning box, can the Number of Copies text box get one of those up/down incrementer/decrementer things?

It would be really cool if every time MJ displayed a hyperlink that it would be clickable. I'm not looking for an automatic thing, I've just seen this behavior in the Plugin Manager and on the Import Media status box, and I thought it would be cool to have a live link for www.replaygain.org since you've listed that link in the Replay Gain Analyzer. Also a live link to the DSP plugin page in DSP Studio and a live link to the Vis plugin page in Vis Studio would be nice as well.

MEGA-ME Skinning Bugs:
1. Inline editing is not right (paints badly) for Content view (right side) renames.  Renames in Org Tree (left side) work fine (paint correctly).  Two problems:  1) Initiating the rename does not initialially highlight and select in a different color/way and 2) pressing the left arrow to remove the selection and edit the field paints the field incorrectly (leaves artifact of the original text to the left and below the edit box).

2. The Position and Volume thumbs in the Player window are NOT aligned on the same starting row...the Position thumb is one pixel lower (down) than the Volume thumb.  Do I win the ultra-mega-cool prize for discovering this bug?  LOL...see:

I just installed this version, twice, and each time on starting for the first time it just crashes (freezes) on the small blue square splash screen and goes no further. Does not load up the program, and does not show an error message; does not even show up on the Taskbar as a running program. It requires CTRL ALT DEL to find and close it, and of course it shows up as "not responding". I deinstalled my previous version 7.2 in favour of this so I could deal with a Burn To CD bug I described in another thread... evidently this won't work. Are there any other version 8's linked to from Interact TalkBack threads? I shall go looking for some.

Yannl,

Using build 248, just right-click in MJ anywhere or click on any menu item...you should see blue background with white text (if you are using the default MEGA-ME skin)...if so, that's the skinning (see last entry in your MegaSkins\Default\Main.xml file).

The same goes with the add image to the song properties - By the sounds of the other bug, it sounds like it's an error in your code for adding files in general. I'm guessing you guys use the same module for adding all files and something you've changed is causing it to crash any time a dialog is opened.

Here's an anomoly. Don't know if it is MJ specific or not. I just noticed with Internet Explorer that my toolbar icons no longer change to the highlight color. They are blacked out. Normal mouse over of, say, the stop button would change it to red. No longer the case. Looks like a black hole now. Anyone else have this happen??? No new programs or anything installed outside of MJ for quite some time now.

JimH,

Crashes on Win2k w/SP1...started with build 245...a few others have reported this, so I tested it and, indeed, it does crash (on Win2k).

Also cannot get machine to crash with ZRockers problem. 98 SE works fine here.

Mat|PLS|M,
Unfortunately, all links go to the latest Beta available. This one is more unstable than previous Betas but what you describe sounds like 8.0.246. Are you sure you have 8.0.248? "Help"-"About Media Jukebox" should tell you the version you have.
If you do and it's still unstable, be patient and go forward, not backward. They will fix the problems and end up with a better product.
Hint: Wait for a couple of hours before downloading the latest Beta so you can read the comments. If it's better or worse, you'll find out from other's experiences. If I had done that, I wouldn't have downloaded 8.0.246.

1. Minimizing the CD Copy window also minimizes the whole MJ application.

2. The min and max buttons do not remain visible as the MJ window is moved.

3. If I change the artist tag info on all the tracks in an album, the tree does not refresh to reflect those changes.  For example if I'm viewing files by Artist/Album and correct a typo in the artist's name, upon saving the changes, the previously incorrect artist's name is still displayed.

These two are still there:

- Play/Pause key on Natural Keyboard Pro now no longer opens an Explorer window but instead the keyboard driver's dialog to change the function assigned to the key appears (if MJ is a background app).

- In "mini-me" mode with winamp skins the playlist font is much to small (unreadable) on my machine (1600x1200 with large fonts setting).

Not sure if this is specific to my situation (trying to install new 8.0 license and get major failures), but I noticed the latest build (I assume 248, because it was downloaded from the link in this thread) installs with the right window dragged over on top of the left (tree) one. No biggie, because I can just drag it back over...but somebody who has never used MJ before might not know there's something under it.

Was this because of how you had MJ setup prior to update? Or windowed view selected? Just wondering, have not had this happen yet.

No, the windowing problem happened when I downloaded and clean-installed yesterday (removed MJ first via Control Panel). But I'm having mucho other problems that I think are related to getting this license activation thing done...so far, no success.

Requests:

1. When selecting ripping options, it would be convenient if tag info could be manually edited at this point.
2. Following downloading (or not) of coverart, it would be nice to have a message box indicating if the image was found. Unless I'm missing something, the success of the image download can only be determined by entering file properties of the newly ripped file.  

Thanks,
Shelly

Just another thought on my request #2 above, regarding the addition of a message box for image downloading.  It would be great, if the user was presented with the option to accept or reject the image that was found.

Bugs:
1. Sometimes doing Alt|PLS|Enter to bring up Media File Props ignores what you have selected and brings up all files in the currently viewed playlist.  I noticed this many times while editing files in Recently Imported (also had DM downloading in the background...part of that time only).

2. If the DM's "Play Downloaded" option is turned on (using DM v1.0.97 now) and you are downloading and you also decide to in-place edit some [other] tracks in the Playing Now playlist, a couple of things happen:  1) the current selections are lost if you are editing while a newly downloaded track is added by DM and 2) the Playing Now playlist window is not updated correctly to reflect your in-place edit changes (if you use the up/down arrows to highlight each edited track (or press F5 Refresh), each item is updated correctly [visually]).

3. That pesky "Analyzing Devices..." dialog keeps popping up way to much during right-clicks and cancelling the right-clicks.  If it can't be fixed, can we at least get an option to disable automatic 'Analyzing Devices' and let the user manually analyze/refresh devices??  It seems some 'Send To...' tweak a few releases back started this annoying problem...

Download Manager : I have DM set to autostart with Windows (minimized) and everytime I boot, I get a message about "The system cannot find the phonebook entry for the connection specified" - or something to that effect.

Callithumpian reported the same problem.

I have the same problem as well with Windows ME.

JimH and all: I am continually amazed at the new discoveries I make in MJ. Saying I am impressed is a great understatement. And thanks to all the guys on Interact for the help they have given to others which I have benefited from.

I just read the thread about getting 8.0.246 when you click on the link at the top of this (8.0.248) thread. Can this be true? I just followed the advice to change the filename on Save As to MediaJukebox8.0.248.exe and got a file by that name.

I'm wondering how many people have .246 and think they have .248. I'm also wondering if this is why my MJ8 will NOT uninstall.

After I restore to an earlier Ghost, I'm going to try reinstalling with this new .exe.

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned .....

In CD Labels, I've opened a cover art cd label into the cd front cover from the JRiver library having copied it previously from the net. If I preview, for instance, the front cd cover, it looks ok and is showing the cover art picture. However, if I then print it, all I get is the cutting lines ie the picture has disappeared. Any help please ..... thanks

Bug:
1. If you are using the Disk Writer playback setting and a track's Artist or Song Name has an invalid character in it for a filename (like ?), DW does not output a .WAV file for that track.  The user is not given any kind of error message either.  I think MJ should just convert the invalid character(s) to '_' like it does in other instances.

When using a sound card with no volume control, MJ hides Player_SliderVolThumb.bmp. Should also hide Player_SliderVol.bmp as it just looks weird.

A bug I noticed in 239. Most likely in this build also:

Did a clean install of WinME. Updated Sound card drivers. Installed 239. Used default settings. Played some mp3s from explorer (auto imported; correctly). Decided to import all the mp3s in the same folder. When it was finished, all the new mp3s that were imported had (unassigned) values. Deleted all files in media library, reimported (same way). Everything was back to normal. Something is screwed up here.

Bugs (I think):
1. When using drag-n-drop to move/copy files from the Content view (right-side) to any nodes in the Org Tree (left-side), the destination node in the Org Tree does not highlight when you hover the drag list over the destined node (like Windows Explorer and good GUIs do).  This makes it hard to know if the destined node accepts the the drop or not.
2. When starting a drag-n-drop operation, pressing ESC does not cancel the operation (again, like Windows Explorer and good GUIs do).  So, you are committed to droping the list somewhere once you start the drag.
