4. Changed: Added some additional podcast feed keep options.
5. Fixed: Internal cover art for OGG files could get extracted with extra data at the end of the file.

7. NEW: Updated the OGG input plugin to use all the latest OGG code.

11.1.126 (2/21/06)

1. Fixed: The syntax checking for "Rename From Properties..." wouldn't let advanced expressions function. (i.e. "[Album] - FormatDate([Date, 0], yyyy-mm-dd)")
2. Fixed: In rare cases, multi-threaded DB access could cause issues.

11.1.125 (2/21/06)

1. Changed: For digital TV only, if "Start digital TV in time-shifting mode" option is used, clicking Stop button will completely stop TV playback (instead of stopping only time-shifting and resuming regular playback).

3. Fixed: Tooltips with blank lines did not display properly.
4. NEW: Podcast tooltips now show media file comments (usually episode description).

6. Changed: Improved handling of Podcast episode status and associated tooltips.
7. Changed: When WMDM fails to load, a message b   ox is displayed to explain that the system must be updated and that handhelds can't work without this.
8. Changed: Removed the nesting of the "Sort" menu in the Options drop menu of tile-style library views.
9. Changed: When changing the selection of a library tile, the scroll position of the files list at the bottom (if enabled) will be reset to the top.

15. Changed: Quick Find of cover art will work for DVD videos on hard drive with an image file in the same folder.
16. Changed: Switched "Jump Back 30 Seconds" to "Jump Back 10 Seconds". (for Girder and command line users, any time value can be passed as MCC 10034 and 10035)

5. Fixed: Using custom command-line parameters for the MP3 encoder without specifying lame.exe at the front wasn't working. (now defaults to lame if nothing is specified)
6. Fixed: With DSP enabled and clip-control off, audio would not properly flat-line on overflows. (introduced in 122)
7. Optimized: Several more assembly optimizations to the core playback / decoding / conversion engine. (lower CPU usage, faster conversions, etc.)
8. Fixed: A timing message box could appear at the end of a file conversion.
9. Fixed: WAV streamed from Library Server was not played in MC's native playback engine.
10. Fixed: In rare cases DirectShow playback could crash when switching tracks.
11. Fixed: The podcast "file download" right-click option did not always do what you would expect.
12. Changed: Ogg encoding couldn't be done "on-the-fly".
13. NEW: Updated Ogg Vorbis encoder to version 2.8 (libvorbis version 1.1.2)
14. Changed: Library server uses less aggressive filename escapement. (only escapes unicode and non-printing characters)
15. Changed: Library server escapement is applied just-in-time instead of on library load.
16. Fixed: Typing invalid custom command line parameters into the MP3 encoder could cause a hang when doing a conversion.
17. NEW: Updated the German translation file. (thanks ByteStar!)

Seems to be a problem with 'saving for all locations' customize current view.  When I set it for the files at bottom section, it saves it for them, but then resets the panes list view to default and all sorting and tile sizes are reset as well for the library views. 

Saving to 'similar locations' does not seem to work very well either.

I know this is truning into a rant, but I hope that the settings like sorting for each vew scheme and node within a view scheme can be saved in a library backup.

7. NEW: Updated the OGG input plugin to use all the latest OGG code.

The input plugin does not fill the Compression field (this has not changed, but could you correct this now?). If the ogg files were converted from another format the old incorrect compression information is shown.

Minor typo. When saving a view "For This Location And Similar Locations", you get the message:

Are you sure you want (missing the word to) make all the child views look like this one? (this removes any other customization)

5.1 channel oggs are still not working at all. mediacenter doesn´t play them at all for me. (not even "only" in stereo)

is it planned to add this feature? i have a growing collection of dvd-audio´s and dts-cd´s which i would like to convert to ogg5.1 and then play them with mediacenter.

Due to the new naming scheme, or something else that has been tweaked, Podcast listings are being redownloaded and added to my lists as is they were never downloaded. I can't quite articulate it, so take a look at the 3 examples. Notice the filenames, file sizes, and Names. Its very strange. Check the links below.

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3


On a side note, I feel that adding the date to the front of the Podcast's name is a little clunky and makes for unecessary redundancy.
