Media Jukebox 8.0.283 RC
« on: May 24, 2002, 01:20:46 pm »

Media Jukebox 8.0.283 RC (Release Candidate) is available:
[this one is removed and we're going back to 8.0.282 until Monday -sorry for the minimize problem -- JimH]

Please make sure you reboot your PC if you prompted to do that by InstallWizard.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Old style Media Jukebox 8.0 licenses (MediaJukebox8.rrg) will not work with this build.  They can be exchanged for a new one by providing your e-mail receipt (should have come from "buy-button @ jriver.com" ).  FORWARD TO music @ jriver.com.  Version 7 licenses CANNOT BE UPGRADED but will work with version 8.0.

Please back up your library and your license (version 7 licenses only; version 8 licenses can be restored from our web page -- see the FAQ for more info).

History:
1. Fixed: MJ would not start recording when started from Media Scheduler.
2. Changed: Logic for CD disk naming have been improved.
3. Fixed: In Skin Manager, with skinning off MJ would not display selected item correctly.
4. Fixed: Starting MJ minimized with minimize option on would incorrectly paint main MJ window.

Hi

Using the Ischl skin, on increasing the horizontal size of the media library, the text "seek" and "volume" distort...
Kinda cute really, certainly not a show stopper! As a whole, everything looks superb!

Can I draw your attention to my problem with file associations (separate thread)- don't know whether this is an MJ problem or not...

Thanks

My only gripe is the status bar when skins are disabled. Album View uses the correct one if skinning is on or off. It just looks kinda wierd.

Looks like I'll have to buy MJ again as I somehow lost the email reciept...this was way back last year (I usually keep track of that sorta thing). No big deal.

Seems like a mega me skin issue when using Astro:

Player window re. shuffle on/off graphics.
When the mouse hangs at this "window" in player window, it says whether or not shuffle is on, but I find it confusing
that the graphic illustrates the opposite of what the text says.

The text says the actual thing.

let me know if I am not making myself clear.

When changing view settings, for instance unchecking "genre" in library 1, it also gets unchecked in the view
setting for library 2.

Bug in 8.0.265beta - CD names not shown correctly
If you need more info: albrecht-waldbronn@web.de
Still the process of reading the content of MP3 CDs is not real good. If
a CD, that shows up in the explorer as 'Complete_CDs_01', is read, the
section File Location shows (0x5601E92A) and the section CD and DVD media a
CD named 'unassigned'. If I add mores CDs, it still shows a single
'unassigned' folder instead of the real name of the CD. Out of 5 CDs
'Complete_CDs_01' through 'Complete_CDs_05' only the last showed with
correct name under CD and DVD media.

To show the content of a specific CD is therefore not straight forward!

Can this be changed?

My system: NT 4.0 with all SPs, 500 Mhz PIII, 198MB RAM

Additional text for Matt:


Today I installed the RC 279, it still shows the same, see attached
media.jpg. It's with the build-in CD/DVD drive and also on the external HP
CD-Writer Plus (7500 series). The windows explorer shows correct
information, see attached media2.jpg.

Is there the possibillity, that MJ is in trouble because I have the drives
named Y and/or Z?

> Sorry I don't have a better answer. Hopefully manually renaming your data
> CD's in MJ won't be too much of a hassle....

The rename item is grayed-out when I tried to rename the CD. I clicked right
on the 'unassigned'.

I tried it now on my son's PC (P3/900Mhz with Windows ME). The same effect!
So it seems it's not specific hardware or operating system related. I burned
a CD with a shorter naming "JCash. Format ISO Data Mode 2/XA with Nero
5.8.2. The same problem.

Something you can do with this information?

after doing a digital secure rip, the ripping quality window appears, showing the quality percentage of the rip.
When marking a section where rereads had to be done, the "play section" becomes an option.
When hitting "play section" an error prompt appears saying "select files to play"

Make that 5 machines.  Does it on my server and 2 laptops as well.

On the other hand.  My 2 burners and 1 reader are back to being recognized as such instead of 3 burners and I don't get the "Failed to find a CD-R/W..." message on the laptops anymore.

Still can't play files with that pesky "´" character in the filename via the server though.

All in all, pretty stable.
