« on: June 20, 2005, 11:14:14 am »

We're ready to release Media Center 11.0.  PRICES are here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=23311

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:  Post bugs you are certain about here.  Anything else will be moved or deleted.  If you can't find your post here, please look in the main index.   Feature requests should be postponed until MC11.0 is released. 

Media Center 11 is available here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter110298.exe

11.0.298 (6/20/05)

1. Fixed: When transferring files to a portable device, if the file had illegal characters in the tag and the option to create folders from tags was enabled for a field with an illegal character, the file would have failed to transfer.
2. Fixed: When closing fullscreen mode using the control bar on top, the screen resolution would not be restored until MC was closed.
3. Changed: When switching fullscreen resolution settings, the changes are now applied immediately. (instead of after leaving and returning to fullscreen)

11.0.297 (6/18/05)

1. Changed: HDTV video size info is displayed on-screen not only in normal viewing mode (as introduced in 11.0.296), but also in time-shifting mode.
2. Fixed: For WinTV PVR devices, one could not switch out of the "Recording" page on TV Options window (introduced in 11.0.293).
3. Fixed: Library browser would not show the first visible item when switching tabs in some cases.
4. Fixed: When pasting a URL to a JPEG for a file's image, MC could reencode the file in some cases.

11.0.296 (6/17/05)

1. Fixed: Conversion settings for Portables would not always yield the correct space estimation after transfer.
2. Fixed: The handheld sync tree would not show playlist names in some cases.
3. Fixed: Image - Paste From Clipboard (URL) wasn't working properly.
4. New: Signal Strength is briefly displayed in OSD along with station name info when a digital TV channel is played.

11.0.295 (6/16/05)

1. Fixed: In some cases, when switch tracks with different sample rates, it could take longer for the track switch to occur than expected.
2. New: HDTV video size info (1080i, 720p etc.) is displayed in OSD shortly after the device is tuned to a channel.
3. Fixed: Visualizations could crash in some cases. (unique to 294)

11.0.294 (6/16/05)

1. Fixed: Radio on MP101 would not play if Artist was empty.
2. Changed: Many of the command-line commands were case-sensitive - they are now case-insensitive.
3. Fixed: MC was locking-up when deleting files from SmartLists.

11.0.293 (6/14/05)

1. New: TV Configuration window is now available in time-shifting mode (some items are not available, or will not take effect immediately in this mode).
2. Fixed: Some items on TV Configuration window were not disabled even though they were not available for certain devices.
3. Fixed: TV would unload if user attempts to start Configuration window during recording/time-shifting.
4. Fixed: Video properties (brightness etc.) adjustment was not available during time-shifting for digital TV.
5. Fixed: in the UPnP Server, longer lists would lose information at the end.
6. Fixed: The Library Server client could not play local files (through Drives and Devices) when conversion was enabled.
7. Fixed: When pasting a URL to an image into MC, the file could be recompressed in some cases.
8. Changed: MC does a better job of not running a search while typing quickly in the search box, but instead runs the search after a pause in typing.
9. Fixed: Auto sync would not have worked for some portable devices.
10. Changed: Zen Micro will run the Nomad plugin if on Windows 2000 (as opposed to MTP)

My images do not have the Name-tag filled.
After using 'Rotate Left' this is filled with the filename.

Jumping to Web Media from a button on the toolbar takes you to a blank page with "about:blank" listed at the top of that window. Jumping to Web Media by using the tree on the left works as expected, taking you to the radio station list. But, if you first jump by using the toolbar button, even clicking on Web Media in the tree will not work; you must navigate away with the tree and then come back to it.

if you made something in MC ie: tagging, and then you are capable of pressing the undo button you will see the undo button in the topbar blended(disabled) until you click it and then redo will be enabled!

another thing, when scrolling a list of files horizontaly makes the grid and list file dance lol.

another strange problem that really made me go nuts and didnt find an explaination to it:
i have an album of 21 tracks, and every time i click on its files shourtcut in the library browser albums section i get into the files but with track 19 selected which does not show me the top of the list... i dunno why it makes the file selection in the first place !!!!

You must have also fixed the Quick Find in File / Cover Art Directory bug in the past couple versions because I can't seem to reproduce it now in 298.

One minor bug in 298. When I select my handheld from the devices item in the tree, the Handheld Path shows up as "K:\Music\\K:\Music\" instead of "K:\Music\" which is what it is set to and correctly is displayed in the Handheld settings window.

Dragging files to playlists is a major pain in the ...

The list scrolls all over the place, and unlike before when you could see which playlist the files would go into
(because it would autohighlight), now you have no idea.

I cant tell you how many times I've dragged files to the wrong playlist because of this behaviour.

Qythyx,

I cannot replicate this. What device do you have? I presume you are using the Tools->Options->Handheld->Configure drive
setting, correct?  Did you browse to K:\Music or did you manually enter it?

Thanks,

Steve

Clicking on "For more encoders visit Encoder Plug-ins Page" in options takes me to the handheld plug-in page.
