This is the latest version of MC 12.0. Any MC12.0 license will work with it. Please post bugs here. Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

This latest build (usually safe) of MC12.0 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/MediaCenter120273.exe

12.0.273 (6/30/07)

1. Fixed: Direct Show playback would use a NULL audio renderer. (introduced in 272)

12.0.272 (6/29/07)

1. Changed: The on screen display isn't shown in standard view when changing playback states or position.
2. Fixed: Pix01 ftp upload could stall if upload was in multiples of 256 bytes.
3. Fixed: Some incorrect podcast feeds specified episode URLs in strange places
4. Changed: Removed lots of podcast logging.
5. Changed: Improved video support in Theater View skins.

12.0.271 (6/28/07)

1. Changed: Removed transparency support for on screen display since some video mixers or video drivers would flicker with it.
2. NEW: Revised how the on screen display looks and works.
3. NEW: On screen display is available for all playback types. (press up / down to roll through menu)
4. NEW: Added several more commands to the on screen display.
5. Fixed: Podcasting memory leak.
6. Fixed: Many threading issues with podcasts, which could cause many types of problems (including deleted threads re-appearing).
7. Changed: Reduced the amount of Podcast debug logging.
8. Updated: Help.
9. Fixed: Deleted Podcast Episodes would reappear.

12.0.270 (6/27/07)

1. Changed: Using expressions based on filenames inside Library Sync wouldn't work nicely. (because the filename would return a server name instead of the name from the original library)
2. Changed: Cancel in "Library Sync" takes effect immediately instead of after the current file finishes.
3. Fixed: "Export All Playlists..." wasn't enabled when not looking at a file list view.
4. NEW: Library Sync creates a playlist "Library Sync - Files Not In Sync" that contains files in the source library that aren't in the sync library. (helps remove duplicates, etc.)
5. Fixed: Library Sync would cause thumbnails to be rebuilt for files that had already been synced.
6. Changed: Creation of "Recent Playing Now's" can be disabled in Options > General > Advanced > Features.
7. Changed: Improved logging for reasons to download podcasts.
8. Changed: Downloaded Podcasts moved below Podcast Feeds.
9. NEW: The navigation tree supports multiple selections in the playlist branch for more easily moving, copying, etc. playlists. (copy, cut, and paste also work this way) (experiment -- may not remain)

12.0.269 (6/26/07)

1. Changed: Thumb, image and full size image heights and widths added to the pix01 javascript parameters.
2. Fixed: Library Sync would unnecessarily retag files when merging existing files if audio conversion was enabled.
3. Fixed: Tree art for some of the plugins fixed.
4. Changed: Major internal update of Podcasts.
5. Changed: Improved logging for reasons to download podcasts.
6. NEW: Web Media audio choices dialog box allow multiple selections.
7. Fixed: Switching translation during program run could cause some message boxes to stop working until a restart of the player.
8. Fixed: Smartlists that pointed to playlists in playlist groups were breaking when re-editing them with the smartlist editor.

12.0.268 (6/25/07)

1. NEW: Visualizations from one instance of Media Center could show in a second instance of Media Center. (still true for G-Force because it uses the global, legacy visualization data map)
2. Fixed: With two instances of Media Center running on the same library, thumbnails wouldn't behave nicely.
3. Fixed: With two instances of Media Center running on different libraries, they'd show the same library selection in the File > Library menu.
4. Fixed: Spurious # removed from thumbnail.htm template.
5. Fixed: tnail0.jpg was not being created for pix01.
6. Changed: Library Sync syncs content in a newest to oldest order.
7. Changed: Playlists on a handheld only append the group name when another playlist has the same name. (i.e. "Workout Mix (My iPod)" is now simply "Workout Mix")
8. Fixed: Some playlist mp3 streams didn't record properly.
9. Fixed: Copying images to the clipboard could show an extra border on paste in some programs.

I literally just formatted all our computers and installed MC on every computer--and logged onto every account to configure it. And NOW you add the disable playing nows! Two days ago! That's worth installing on every computer again! THANK YOU.

Yea, that's great. Been looking for that for some time. But what about the two remaining auto playlists?? "Top Hit's" and "Recently imported". Is there a point I'm missing by removing only one of them?

One more:
The space key STILL plays all when hitting any of the menu buttons in Theater View. Why? It's really confusing when you are new with a remote setup. Should not be that hard to disble space one the menu should it?

bbrip · « **Reply #3 on:** July 02, 2007, 11:35:39 am »

Some great work - thanks to all

Do you still have chapter support for mp4 files on your list? That woudl finally allow to dramatically improve usage of MC for vdio playxback. So far I am still with Zoomplayer. I thing chapter browsing in mp4 is as important as chapter support on DVD playback - so it really should be there ....

Many thanks

have you tried to delete 'top hits'. i never had it back since i did that.
just to be sure: you have 'clear recently imported on exit' enabled in options>general>advanced.

I find that when using library server and a client it seems to always create the top hits, etc., playlists upon every connection! Why oh why won't they just disappear forever?

leezer3 · « **Reply #6 on:** July 02, 2007, 04:33:00 pm »

Is it the removal of transparency support for on-screen displays that is causing the godawful blue halo around the position when scrolling in videos?
At the least, could you please set this to something a little less obtrusive? (IMHO a simple grey box tightly surrounding the text would have done just fine)

Cheers

Maybe a checkbox to enable higher-end graphical enhancements would be useful so each user can make their decision based on the power of their hardware.

Silly little bug, only just noticed it though-
Modifications to the default supplied English language file do nothing.
Not a particularly big deal, just useful for neatness so that an additional edited language file isn't necessary.

Still crashing on auto-importing (has been happening for quite a lot of versions now, but didn't happen about a month ago).

This seems to be when downloading from Napster, but that could just be because it takes longer and is the only stuff I tend to be importing.

This is under Vista.

benn600 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 03, 2007, 11:08:57 am »

When updates are checked for, will an update always be found if it is listed here? Whenever you release a new version, I know it will appear here but I seem to recall MC not finding the latest version some of those times...almost like you don't push the latest version listed here ... but one or two previous versions.

MrHaugen · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2007, 04:10:26 pm »

The space key will still play all if it's hit at any of the left menu buttons in theater view.
And it's still confuses...

DSP works here on at least 3 of my computers with the latest version.

MrHaugen · « **Reply #17 on:** July 05, 2007, 12:18:20 pm »

Strange. On my HTPC it works. I have experimented very little here, just upgraded from the last version.
On my normal workstation I have upgraded alot and experimented with plugins and stuff. Here the DSP don't work. Don't react when I hit the button or when I go through options and playback.
Both my computers run XP Pro English. Not sure what else is different

the question is, if it works when playing music or without playing music

sherbs · « **Reply #19 on:** July 05, 2007, 04:11:15 pm »

DSP opens if I'm playing music. Funny, never noticed that before!

Bingo! I have trouble when NOT playing music. The same goes for both of my machines.
Is this supposed to be the normal behavior??

no.

there is also some talk about it on the beta forum also. gues they are working on it.

Increase if Tile spacing is not working properly.

X X X X X

X X X X

Increasing Tile horizontal spacing to achieve this:

X X X X X

X X X X X

results with (using all spacing sizes and Tile sizes):

X X X X X

X X X X X

X

or it drops two Tiles down. I have tried manually entering values from 0-30 whereupon the Tiles are not spaced at all, until you hit a threshold (say 31) that starts a new row. It seems like all that's happening is Tile resizing, not respacing.
Please fix this. It's impossible to achieve a uniform look (yes I'm anal), evenly spaced, with Tiles.

Sorting seems broken in many ways in many places...
