early today i was trying to figure out how to "Disconnect" and get my library back.
i was logged on music01 and loaded my library, the users name was still at the top, "Media Jukebox - UsersServer"
now my database has the location of his ip address
sample
m01p://80.13.186.85:81/C:\Documents and Settings\mark farmer\Desktop\Music\Dj_Dreamer_-_the_Silence_radio_edit.mp3
that is not my IP address...
it seems i will need to dump the database and rebuild it.

1. mini-me does not display Winamp skins very well and/or consistantly. I'm using the v7.2 Media Jukebox skin. MJ displays or redisplays it improperly and messes up the Playlist on return to mini-me display. This has been bugged for a while in v8.0 betas (that I've seen). When the Playlist is set in non-rolled up mode, MJ always restores the Playlist as if rolled-up, but with non-rolled up screen (truncated...bottom 1/8" of non-rolled up screen)...unreadable/unuseable.

If I have the CD-ROM set to ASPI, MJ just skips through each song very quickly.
If I have the CD-ROM set to IDE, MJ plays the tracks, but there is no sound.
If I set the CD-ROM back to ASPI, MJ crashes when I try to play. <- it's stuck here, presently, it no longer skips through them quickly, it just crashes
MJ hates wnaspi32.dll in this build. If I try to access any kind of ASPI function (burning CD, playing CD's in digital mode, trying to detect the CD-RW). My past trick of deleting wnaspi32.dll, then redetecting the CD-RW, then copying wnaspi32.dll back in isn't working.
And if I don't have wnaspi32.dll in place, all attempts at CD burning fail.

Using the Next\Previous Playlist command from a remote control sometimes causes a crash in either mjplayer.dll or ntdll.dll.
Post by: Doof on January 31, 2002, 05:23:05 pm
All of my wnaspi32.dll crashes are gone (for now). If I try digital CD playback with the CD-ROM set to ASPI, MJ skips through all of the tracks very quickly like it was before. If I try digital CD playback with the CD-ROM set to IDE, it plays fine. If I set it to Auto Config, MJ automatically picks IDE. Maybe it's been trying to tell me something all along?
That still doesn't explain why it didn't work at all with the older wnaspi32.dll. If digital playback isn't using ASPI, then why would it affect it like it was?
Strange. But at least my problem seems to be fixed now.
Wow... I just realized that almost all of the bugs I've found are gone... pretty soon I won't have anything to complain about...
Nah... that just means I can start bugging you guys about Remote Control stuff and Quicktime support in earnest.
Post by: Doof on January 31, 2002, 05:40:08 pm
If I'm listening to a CD while in mini-me, MJ quits unexpectedly when the track changes.
If I try to play a CD by accessing it via Quick Play while in mini-me, MJ crashes, reporting mjplayer.dll as the culprit.
These problems only happen in mini-me. Skin doesn't matter.
Request : Can we get a Quick Skin menu along with Quick Play?
Post by: Doof on January 31, 2002, 05:52:50 pm
Request : Not sure how doable this is, but can the Enlarge Menus option in the Vis Display only take effect in full screen mode? Or maybe have all three modes (fullscreen, MEGA-ME, and mini-me) have their own Enlarge Menus setting? It's nice to have a large menu when working from across the room with a remote, but it's a little bit much when I'm dealing with mini-me.

For Virtual Sub and Surround Field -
1. Select the DSP icon and the menu appears
2. Select Virtual Sub or Surround Field and the drop down appears
3. Make a selection from the drop down and the description DOES change to your selection
4. If DSP was off, the action of step 3 WILL TURN IT ON
So far, no problem....
ForEnvoronment, Intelli-Volume and Replay Gain -
1. Select the DSP icon and the menu appears
2. Select Environment, Intelli-Volume or Replay Gain and the drop down appears
3. Make a selection from the drop down and the description DOES'NT change to your selection
4. If DSP was off, the action from Step 3 WILL NOT TURN IT ON

and SKIP or PLAY type ?
- Can there be put a "select all" in the right mouse menu if in devices (my usb device)
- Is it possible to have the current TIME somewhere when in full screen mode ? (e.g. on the bottom bar in the right corner)
- REMAINING_TIME always shows 0:00 and TOTAL_TIME = LIVE in mini-me mode
- Getting cover art from the internet does some weird things. If you have an album of e.g. Prince - Purple Rain and some of the songs has
the image inside the ID3V2, and the others don't have an image, when retreiving from internet and then saving NOT inside the file, I
have to do this twice before it works, so first it gets the picture and saves it to the directory I've specified in options but the
image is not attached to the file, when retreiving a second time, the file is attached correctly.
- When in mini-me and visiualisations are turned on, when mimimizing and maximizing again, the visiualisation is gone, this also applies
to Equalizer or Playlist or Track info, when clicking again on one of the options, it comes back, but is gone again after minimizing
- Right Mouse button in taskbar does not work after a while when miminized

Are you using the WMP 8 skin that I made? It's got a bug in it (somewhere) that causes this. I can't seem to find it though. This doesn't happen with skins that J River made (although none of them have a minimize button - I had to change one to test). It might be a bug in MJ, or it might just be a bug in that skin.
Nikolay> Is it possible that there's a bug in Metamorphis in the way it handles Child Windows? I notice that the only skin having this problem is mine, and it's also the only one that uses Child Windows to display these components.

1. Playlist flickers in Winamp-mini-me mode.
2. Changing the performance controller has no effect. (checked in the registry.) But changing the value in the registry gets shown in performance controller, so view is working, but moving the slider has no effect. After pressing OK and reopening the window, slider is set back to value defined in registry, not as has been set in MJ itself.
A feature request:
1. Disabled Vis in Winamp should result in transparent field, not just a black window below time, because using a cool MacOsX-skin (WHITE!) looks really bad! Isn't it possible to make the MJ-window transparent?
2. MJ-Vis is much too small in Winamp-Window, couldn't you add a Winamp-Like-Sprectum Analizer using colors of Winamp skin like Winamp does itself.
My already mentioned MacOSX-Skin looks really good in Winamp, especially by using StyleXP for making Windows XP look like MacOSX!!
Only in MJ, I really miss this Winamp-visulization. By using the skin-color it looks more integrated into the skin than MJ VIS!

From the time Direct Sound was implemented till 195, both worked fine.
Before Direct Sound, I had to go to Windows Media Player to 'prime the pump'.
It would crank the rear speakers on.
Then with Direct Sound, the rear speakers cranked up, just like they should be.
Now with 196, I have to prime the pump again with Windows Media Player.
At first I thought I was mistaken and felt there was another problem.
So I rebooted several times just to make sure - powering down in between - and it remains true that something in 196 changed the way Direct Sound activates my sound card, particularly the rear speaker jack.
Any ideas???

1. With 'Support extended tag fields (ID3v2 tags)' turned off, MJ still creates ID3v2 tags if you use the Album Artist or Custom 1-3 fields in Media File Properties. With this option turned off, the user does NOT want MJ to maintain these fields in ID3v2 tags in his/her media files...just in MJ's database. Also, the user knows that if he/she deletes the media file from MJ and reimports it, he/she will lose those custom field entries and have to reenter them.
2. Media Files Properties does not provide a way to a remove only ID3v2 tags in its Remove Tags function. So, MJ adds ID3v2 tags, but does not provide the user with a way to remove those erroneously added tags. Ideally, the Confirm Tag Removal popup dialog would have two checkboxes for ID3v1 and ID3v2 tag removal. As is, the user must use an external tool to remove specific ID3 tags.
3. The Org Tree and Content View windows are not refreshing after Media File Properties update. I selected one file, brought up MFP, added an Album Artist and clicked Save. The windows did not update, so it looked like nothing happened. I hit F5 [Refresh] and now I see my update did get saved.

It'll ask you what kind of CD you want, not sure if it matters, but pick Audio CD, then on the CD Burn screen, Choose the Repeat Previous Burn option and there you go.

When you are importing media, it would be nice if you could start from the directory level you last imported from and go up or down directory levels at a time. If you do the drop-down, you just get drive letters.

Seconded.
Also, after importing then removing some tracks from that list, they never get re-imported (which is normally fine). Any way of forcing a re-import without moving the files somewhere else? (hold ALT down, perhaps)

I've just reinstalled v196 and I'm back and running again. However, if I try to download the latest mp3 and wav input plugins, I get a 'can only add input, dsp or visualisation plugins' message. After that, mp3's or wav's won't play anymore and I have to reinstall.
I've noticed on the last 3 builds, that after installing, the wizard says that not all files could be added and that windows now has to restart. Then the wizard crashes. I'd not had this prob on previous builds - could the two problems be related ??

Slow stop doesn't work on Audiophile 24/96 even though crossfade does. Same thing goes for the "Microsoft RDP Audio Driver"
Bitrate view doesn't work properly as some VBR mp3s with an avg birate (ex. 252) show in the list as 256.
When chaning file names, sometimes you get asked to confirm and sometimes you don't. Same goes with importing new files. If you drag n drop into "Media Library", it asks. If you drop them in a view scheme header, it don't.

I appreciate you trying to help, but it did'nt fix the problem. So far -
1. Rebooted
2. Ensured MJ, Music01 and Media Scheduler were'nt loaded
3. Installed v196
4. At the end of the install, wizard says that it can't copy all files and wants to restart Windows, then crashes
5. Rebooted
6. Loaded MJ
7. Checked out Plugin Manager - MP3 Input Plugin shows as v1.1 (the buttons for 'about' and 'config' are greyed out)
8. Selected an mp3 track to play - no problem, played ok
9. Stopped play, exited Plugin Manager
10.Went on-line to Input PlugIn Page
11.Selected MP3 version 2.0.25 and downloaded
12.At the end of the download, got a 'only Input, DSP and Vis' plugins can be added'
13.Checked properties of downloaded file - the date/time correspond to the download I just ran
14.Select an mp3 track - it will not play.
15.Try adding the in_mp3_dll through Plugin Manager - get the 'only Input, DSP etc' message
I'll have to reinstall to get going again now. I've been round this loop a lot of times with variations as and where I can, but can't get past the 'only Input etc' message. However, as I've downloaded an 'up to date' file, does that mean I'm actually running 2.0.25 and displaying 1.1 or am I really still running 1.1 ??
Something's obviously wrong somewhere but it's outside of my knowledge. Any help you can offer would be more than gratefully recieved.
Thanks King - Jim

This sounds like an excellent candidate to go in the, currently unused, MJ Status Bar.
Another thing that would be cool... Anybody who's used WinZip has seen this:
They're basically indicator lights in the status bar. Wouldn't this work well to show to show Continuous and Shuffle status? Obviously we'd want them labeled, though.
Post by: Udo_1 on February 03, 2002, 08:14:28 am
I had the same problem and send this to Stacy too. Try this:
When you install the software, choose a different directory. Thats good enough.
The default is ...\JRiver\Media Jukebox. Change this to e.g. Jukebox7 or what soever. I'm not shure, but you must select the "custom or experts" menu during installation to do this.
In addition, you may try is to create this directory first and copy the entire /Data directory out of the beta 8 installation-directory here. I guess, you maintain your libary this way.
Good luck

1. Cancellilng the Please Wait dialog for 'Gathering information...' on a Media File Properties request does not appear to work anymore. It did work in some older betas. All it does now is stop updating the screen (looks like a lockup), but MJ keeps gathering information and always displays the properties for all files requested initially (instead of just showing the properties MJ had gathered prior to pressing Cancel).

I was happily importing track info into Library from offline CDs and I hit upon a CD that had a data portion (Buffett Live: Tue/Thu/Sat)...2 strange things happened
1) MJ would not put them straight into Now Playing...you had to highlight them in Device view and Send to...Playing Now...not a big deal
2) the track times were like 34 hours, etc.
I saw the same thing on Buffett's Beach House On The Moon (I, confess...I'm a Parrothead), which also has a data portion.
Just thought you'd want to know.

View Scheme : The View Scheme name gets reset to Empty\Unnamed whenever you add a criteria to the scheme, even if you have Autoname unchecked and a name already entered.
Rules (Smartlist, Find Media, View Scheme, etc.) : If you define a rule by location, and put the closing bracket on the end of the location, MJ finds no matches. Removing the closing bracket causes MJ to report the files you'd expect.
