9. Changed: Turned off the threaded update for CD lists to see if it helps with the CD ripping problems (please report).
10. Fixed: Radio Paradise did not play.

18. Changed: Added more safety checks in an attempt to fix recently introduced crashes when playing video/audio on Library server clients.

21. Fixed: Deleting a pane entry now updates the panes after (before the deleted entry would remain until a refresh).
22. Changed: When running audio analysis on import, it only uses one thread at a time for the videos in the import array.
23. Changed: Movie lookups that match the IMDBId will sort to the top of the list.

26. Fixed: Media Center could crash randomly during playback of audio files when Lyrics are displayed.
27. Changed: Internet playback, If we have a stream and extension assume we don't need to parse the "file". Reduces file requests.

9. Fixed: The current track would not be shown when first loading a Playing Now view.
10. Changed: The multi-match CD dialog has a number at the front of each selection (so a match with the same artist and album will be distinguishable).
11. Changed: CD matches from the online database are trimmed before showing in the dialog.

Report on CD ripping (item 9 in updates of 25.0.34).

Yes - behaviour has returned to what was happening prior to 25.0.34. CDs are now read and can be ripped into MC. Needs some prompting with the refresh button but it does work again.

Auto-eject after rip has never worked for me but can live with that. What is still a pain is the inability to manually eject a CD after ripping - still not cured - but have found a workaround I shall comment on in the main discussion board.

You seem to have identified the right area to solve this. Thanks for responding.https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/Smileys/classic/smiley.gif

The above relates to two distinct systems, both with internal CD/DVD readers:
MacBookPro/2.66GHz Core 2 Duo/ssd/8GB RAM. OS 10.11.6 El Capitan
iMac 27" mid 2011/3.1 GHz Core i5/ssd/16GB RAM. OS 10.12.6 Sierra

A separate issue: as of last night, could only update to 25.0.34 via this board. It is not yet offered on the MC update channels heading on the main page.    Mike BRG

db- Volume indicates not db
« Reply #2 on: May 16, 2019, 10:25:49 am »

Hi,
the volume indication is shown in % and db. The %-indication follows the bar, but 50% is not 25db as indicated.
As I noticed, it is not new in 25.x, it's a carry over from 24. I would expect at 50% -6db. Also, if you open the tool-box, the same -25db there.

Hi Matt,

thanks for the link. As I understand, your term "db" is your own definition, not the well known technical definition, which actually is a log based value.
If I use the defined db value, it calculates like this: 0 - 20log(100% / act.%). This equals to -20 db for 10% and -6.02 for 50%. and 0 for 100%.
I understand, that's the way, it is designed, but what is the advantage?

The decibel values are definitely based on the well established mathematical principles.  There's really no wiggle about what 6 dB means.

Contrary to many (lesser, imho) players, our volume slider in itself is logarithmic (well, at least from 20% to 100%, below 20% it ramps up), so that you can actually get some use out of the upper part of the slider. If it was linear, like you seem to be assuming, then the perceived volume difference between 100% and 50% would be very minimal, and most people would probably only use a tiny fraction of the slider - and having a hard time doing small adjustments to the volume as a result of it.

The number listed in the link are entirely accurate. At 50%, the volume is down by 25dB, or the digital signal multiplied by 0.0562. The advantage of this is that the perceived volume difference is linear throughout the range of the slider, and you can more precisely control your desired volume.
