4. Fixed: Fast Forward (Ctrl + Right Arrow) did not work for TV time-shifting after time-shifting had been run for longer than the preset time-shifting window.

10. Changed: The iPhone Support feature can be turned off in general > advanced settings.

12.0.453 (3/7/2008)

1. Fixed: Some podcast times wouldn't parse (Engadget).
2. Changed: Internal user interface plumbing -- should be transparent, but please report any issues.

12. Fixed: Tagging a stack file when the stack is expanded only changes that one file.
13. Changed: When switching among Digital TV channels during time-shifting, MC no longer rebuilds DirectShow graphs, resulting in significantly quicker switch.
14. Fixed: Tile thumbnail "View" menus would not stay visible in some cases.
15. Changed: Replaced the expression editor in Customize Current View > Columns with the newer style.
16. Fixed: When deleting a file that was in a stack the stack would be incorrect.

According to Matt:

Quote

The iPod support has some glitches:

1) Detection won't finish on Vista
2) Free space calculation doesn't work right when deleting a lot of files
on sync
3) The handheld cache replacement by stacks is confusing

Touch and iPhone should also work, though not perfectly.

Search box: In versions past, you could click and drag in one motion to highlight the text contained within. Now it seems to take a click to give it focus, then another click and drag to highlight.

To illustrate, do a click and drag on text in this page. MC used to behave that way I'm sure, cuz it would of annoyed the hell out of me otherwise

. Reported late in 451 so may not be addressed yet.

Regarding the lasso ... you can do non-consecutive selects in file display windows (ie single clicks in Explorer, File Manager, and MC itself) by holding the Ctrl key down ... can that be applied to lasso's as well?

For some reason only Shift + left-click lasso can be used for non-consecutive selections. (You need to enable the left-click lasso feature in the options.)

Try a search for badauth here. There was a similar problem a couple of weeks ago and someone said that the password had to be exact (including case) and maybe length needed to be specific.

Everything works here. Even with Black Glacier there is no problem with displaying the lyrics for me... I'm using Vista.

Duration is still broken for multiple file types (thousands). No response from anyone on this in 4 public builds....is it just me??

Shows in Playing Now but not in PlayingNow popup/plugin or in the duration tag field.

An Audio view scheme has been generated as a sub-scheme of Audio for some strange reason; it appears to exactly mirror the main Audio scheme.

This seems to be new in this version...

I am currently re-ripping a loads of old CD's to Flac. Usually while i am ripping one, I am tidying up the properties and tags from the previous one. In 456 the in-place editing of fields (artist/name etc etc.) seems to be very unresponsive while ripping another. Plus, everytime the rip process moves onto the next track i lose the "editing" state of whatever field i'm currently changing. I have to keep hitting F2 to get back into editing.

I can confirm this one. The Volume options do not work when the menu is accessed from the speaker icon. The Player > Volume menu works normally.

EDIT

The problem seems to be skin related. After changing the active skin the "Speaker Icon > Volume menu" may start to work again.

With some skins this menu is not available at all. (Possibly these skins don't have code for this feature and it has never worked.)

As I reported on the last public build, the Tivo server has stopped working for me. I still connect fine, can browse playlists, select songs, etc..... they just never play. No errors in the log, I can advance to the next track - but never ff or rewind in a song. It just displays the track info without moving the time elapsed.....

JONCAT · « **Reply #24 on:** March 17, 2008, 11:08:24 pm »

Matt - the color is not the same as the last build; IIRC it should simply be orange like the rest of the mouse-over colors. I believe there may be some correlation with the above bug confirmed by AlexB; the PixOS skin has issues with volume control menu as well.

Did the non-inverted skin change its colors? Because non-inverted it looked fine, and the inverted color had the right RGB values assuming the non-inverted was correct.

Any chance of a before and after screenshot? Feel free to email it to matt at jriver dot com if that's easier.

JONCAT · « **Reply #26 on:** March 17, 2008, 11:14:22 pm »

And yeah, I'm using the inverted or "negative" mode....looks like a birght sky blue without negative applied; that blue looks out of place as well.

I'm having some kind of problem with image tags; here;s the link.

Same here, on my 32 GB Touch. Whats even worse, it doesn't sync at all. I.e. MC says OK, but returning to my Touch the songs transferred doesn't appear. I have tried initializing (in a process where MC says everyhing will be lost, which isn't true - except inside MC)

Dragging and dropping files doesnt work. I've only tried it with album thumbnails sofar.

Cursoring through the expression field in the rename files from properties tool is behaving strangely. It doesnt scroll till you're well past the end of the visible field. Then deleting forward or backwards causes it to delete a character about 3 or 4 spaces ahead or behind where the cursor was.

MC keeps defaulting into Shuffle Mode in spite of the fact that I have gone as far as to remove the Shuffle button from my skin to prevent accidentally engaging shuffle.

Perhaps not a bug, but a hot key I may accidentally be hitting? If so, is there a way to disable it?
I hate shuffle when playing an album!

park · « **Reply #32 on:** March 18, 2008, 07:58:03 am »

MC is definitely hiding files when using the "autostack by name" feature. I haven't found a way to get the files back yet. They exist on the hard drive.

Still having the same memory leak issue I mentioned with the last version when listening to a sky.fm stream through Web Media. I'm listening to the 'Top Hits Music' stream and MC's memory usage is jumping by about 32k every 3 seconds or so.

Artist Info, when used from under Playing Now (displays within MC) brings up the proper result,
but using the Artist Info on the customized top Toolbar (displays in default browser) brings up erroneous results due to improper syntax:

from both MC12 and MJ12, AMG is giving this search:
DAVE MASON-AD-ALBUM=ALONE TOGETHER-AD-TITLE=ONLY YOU KNOW AND I KNOW

Whoops, missed that. Thanks.

Is there any way to shrink the size of that cache buffer? I'm running (trying to run) Vista in 1Gig of RAM and losing 100MB just for an audio stream is quite a hit. When MC gets close to the 100MB mark my entire computer bogs down since a lot of other stuff has to be paged to disk. Quite honestly I'd rather have the odd glitch in the audio stream rather than gobble up that much RAM.
