• This is a very early alpha of 11.1.
• There aren't a lot of new features in it yet.
• It will work with the same MC11 license that 11.0 uses.
• As always, use at your own risk, and don't make it your first download of MC.

As always, please post ONLY BUGS here -- anything requiring discussion should go in a new thread.  Posts may be deleted or moved.

Media Center 11.1 ALPHA is now available.  PRICES for MC11.0 and 11.1 are here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=23311

The public release version of Media Center 11.0 is available here:
http://www.jrmediacenter.com/download.html (recommended for new users)

This latest build of MC11.1 ALPHA is here:
http://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111041.exe

MC 11.1.41 (10/25/05)

1. NEW: Handheld uploads convert two files at a time and upload at the same time conversion is running -- greatly increasing upload performance with conversion enabled.
2. Fixed: Portables option for 'Sync data to PC' could be greyed out if selected from the Action Window.
3. Changed: Revised how nested playlists get named on a device to be more concise.
4. Fixed: Performing a sync on a WMDM device wouldn't always properly remove playlists.
5. Fixed: When hooking up a new device, MC wouldn't always properly update after gathering files from it.
6. Fixed: Some iPod databases could cause MC to hang.
7. Changed: MC behaves nicer when performing two or more handheld synchronizations at the same time.
8. Changed: Revamped handheld transfer progress list status column and action window displays.
9. Changed: Handheld views now use the same statusbar text formatting as all other views.
10. Changed: Handheld uploads use a more advanced (and accurate) system to portray overall progress that accounts for parallelism, converting, playlist updates, etc.

MC 11.1.40 (10/24/05)

1. Fixed: The search box would lose the focus when doing a search in some views.
2. Added: Upload Audible files through Audible plugin when connected to "Audible Ready" MTP portable devices.
3. Changed: Older Nomad handhelds use WMDM instead of a custom plugin. (provides more standard integration)
4. Fixed: French version of WinTV PVR 150 could not record.
5. Fixed: On-the-fly conversion wasn't working for TiVo and UPnP Server.
6. Changed: The UPnP Server can now specify a fixed TCP port to use.
7. Fixed: Delete wasn't working on some handhelds.

MC 11.1.39 (10/21/05)

1. Fixed: Ripping could write the wrong number of tracks to cdplayer.ini, losing the last track info.
2. Fixed: Player could crash when failing to create a playlist on an MTP device.
3. Changed: MC does a better job of working with WMDM players that have no PDT entry.
4. Fixed: Encoders were not always using on-the-fly compression when they should have been.

MC 11.1.38 (10/20/05)

1. NEW: Added new search modifier ~fill to support limiting a smartlist to the number of files needed to fill the default device. (NOTE: you can use ~fill=[...] with a device name to specify a device)
2. Changed: Improved handheld "convert if necessary" logic so players that support multiple formats will only convert files that are not any of those formats.
3. Fixed: Inserting an audio CD with no files on it would still attempt auto-playback.
4. Fixed: When creating a new playlist from the Send To menu, the action window list wouldn't show the new tracks right away.
5. Fixed: MC could show "Circular Reference" errors in cases where there was no circular reference.
6. NEW: Typing when a list control has the focus runs a silent quick search (Ctrl+Q) instead of searching just one column. (tap F3 to find subsequent matches)
7. Fixed: Some packages (MP3 encoder, etc.) would fail to install.

MC 11.1.37 (10/18/05)

1. Fixed: Playlists would not properly transfer to a handheld when certain options were set.
2. Fixed: Performing sync's with file conversion enabled on WMDM devices would resend the same files over and over.
3. Changed: Changed default convert option for handhelds and servers to "Convert (if necessary)." (instead of never converting)
4. Fixed: Library lists would not update as expected to reflect changes in the playing track.
5. Changed: Select All / Select None gives the list that responds the focus so future global commands (analyze audio, etc.) use tracks from this UI piece.

Thanks, Matt.

iPod transfer worked first time.

[LonWar]

Have you guys done anything to the DSP Studio?

I can't seem to get Fixed Replay Gain (Normalizing/Volume Levelling) to work in 11.1.
I went back to 11.0 and it works.

[zxsix]

I have a card reader for the memory card for my digital camera.
Every time I start MC,  I get a device read error saying it cannot access that drive

FIXED!!

Click on the Check Sychronization link.
Edit ratings on 3 files in MC, then sync with ipod.  Click the "check synchronization" link.
This says "sync 6 files - 32.3 GB available"
  3 files were actually updated during the sync, not 6.
No matter how many files you update, the display on the "check synchronization" is always double.

STILL AN ISSUE.  Here's a step by step video of the issue.http://members.cox.net/bgollmer/mcsync.wmv

I can connect to my Library Server from work.
It downloads and displays the library fine.
Double-click to play a song.
Get error message:
"Media Center encountered errors while trying to play the last several files.  Please make sure that the path in your media library points to the right location."

STILL AN ISSUE.

Portables option for 'Sync data to PC' could be greyed out if selected from the Action Window.

FIXED!

Open Item:  Cancel Sync not Operational.
It looks like you changed some thing related to the cancel button but it still does not work.

Now when you cancel it apears to work but when you try to quit MC it says "When Current Handheld operation is complete you can close program"
You have to "Remove iPod Hardware" to release MC

IPod Name is now  renamed to  "Plist 0" when displayed in iTunes
However you did FIX the cabability to move between iTunes & MC and show the files on the iPod without error.

Rating of "Ipod" songs is not transfered to the iPod.
ie on the MC iPod screen you change teh Rating but it does not write to the iPod that Star Value.

After a reformat of the ipod and a small Sync of 1 playlist the ipod showed the songs but the Play list name was Blank on the Ipod

Looks like you fixed the selection of Photos issue.

Note: Last night on 40 and tonight on 41 my win 2003 server / MC server Blue screened mutiple times during the synce process

Dump File was sent to MS

Also I get an Error on Startup that shows a problem starting MC but it shows version 11.0316 vs 11.1041 - Interesting

[bbrip]

I installed 11.1.41 and still have serious problems getting Media Server to work.

I reported this problem for .39 and .40 before but no reaction. I would really appreciate some feedback whether I am the only one experiencing this since moving to version 11.1 or whether this is a recognised issue.

Thanks
BB

I'm having major issue with this version.  I try to sync MC to my creative zen xtra and it took over 7 hours; I set it up, went to be, woke up this morning and it was around 30% done.  It used to only take an hour at most with USB 2.0.  It was never that slow with 1.1.

See my post above.  The client connects and display's the server's library fine.  Songs don't play and give an error that it can't find the file.

[Mr ChriZ]

Unless I've accidently hit a button somewhere,
for some reason everytime i move from playing now
to audio on the tree view, it stops doing what it was doing and starts playing the
first item on my Audio list.

-Edit-
This doesn't happen 100% of the time!
It happens about 80% of the time imediatly after opening MC.
Sometimes it happens when moving the other way round.
Sometimes I don't appear to need to move at all!
Weird!
Also it can be done from Media View not just Audio View.
Flicking between Media Library and Playing Now, guarantees it happens
sooner or later!

[Mr ChriZ]

OK Getting Weirder.
It just flipped in to Theater mode, when i kept doing the above,
and then chose a random cover image that didn't match what it was playing!

[JimH]

Did you try re-installing?

Is a key stuck somewhere on your keyboard or mouse?

Virus?

iPod Sync, First Playlist does not show up on iPod after sync
2nd on does

[John Gateley]

I'm having major issue with this version.  I try to sync MC to my creative zen xtra and it took over 7 hours; I set it up, went to be, woke up this morning and it was around 30% done.  It used to only take an hour at most with USB 2.0.  It was never that slow with 1.1.

As a workaround, turn conversion off (on the client), then it should work.
I'll have this fixed soon.

Virus?

I checked for Virii, mouse, keyboard etc and carried on doing it, so I
removed MC and reinstalled and thatappears to have fixed it.  Must have been
some dirt in the machinery somewhere 
Cheers

I upgraded to 11.1.41 and attempted to synchronize two albums to my Creative Zen Portable Media Player.  The music tracks end up located under \media\music\<artist>\<album>.  However, the listing under "My Music" on the PMC shows only one album "Unknown album" which shows all tracks from the two albums that I transferred.  Under artist, I can see the two artists, under genres I see the two genres.

So it appears that files are mostly tagged OK except for album information.

The original tracks were uncompresed WAV files.  The transfer was to WMA-Lossless.

[EDIT}  I don't know if this helps, but if you look under "Drives & Devices", "Zen Portable Media Center", you see that the Album information is not there after doing the transfer.

here are my two bugs of the night (previously mentioned by other testers):

a) skipping of playback when cpu usage spikes (i think that's what sparks it)
b) fixed replay gain doesn't seem to work (files ARE analazyed)

i don't know if possibly running win64 is affecting this somehow, so here's my system info:

o yeh and i can't get it to work with ubuntu linux and wine .90 (finally!).  seems to be in need of rpcrt dll or something.  i don't know it's most likely wine's issue than yours but it would be cool if it was a quick fix and could be fixed in the next version.  anyways, just thought it was worth mentioning.
