ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaCenter111126.exe

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).
2. Fixed: FF/Rew of TV in time-shifting mode did not work in build 11.1.124.
3. Fixed: Tooltips with blank lines did not display properly.
4. NEW: Podcast tooltips now show media file comments (usually episode description).
5. Changed: HTML (which is not used) is now removed from Podcast titles and descriptions, making them look nicer.
6. Changed: Improved handling of Podcast episode status and associated tooltips.
7. Changed: When WMDM fails to load, a message box 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.
10. Fixed: Tree > Handheld > Right-click > Options... wouldn't always show the options for the selected handheld.
11. Fixed: Mini-me could draw with no text if a skin specified a font that the system couldn't properly load.
12. Fixed: Send To > Playing Now > Add (shuffle all) didn't shuffle properly when targetting an inactive zone.
13. Fixed: The MRU menu item for "Play" wouldn't always function the same as the actual menu item when in Playing Now.
14. Changed: Added error message box for when user without admin rights tries to access the CD drive for ripping/burning.
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)

11.1.124 (2/20/06)

1. Fixed: Incorrect bitrate was reported for streaming WAV files (from Library Server).
2. NEW: Put in expermental Export Playlist to Podcast feature.  (generates unusable URLs)
3. Fixed: Handheld plugin would not load properly on Windows 98.
4. Changed: Reduced the number of stops in the fast forward and rewind progression during DVD and TV playback.
5. NEW: Added "Jump Forward 30 Seconds" and "Jump Back 30 Seconds" as seek possibilities. (Player menu, remote command, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right)

1. Changed: Podcast Episode status now has better tooltips.
2. Changed: All tooltips now word wrap across multiple lines.
3. Changed: We now ignore all empty XML tags in Podcast Feeds. (CNN now works)
4. Changed: There are a few more Podcast feed download and keep options.
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!)

11.1.122 (02/15/06)

1. Changed: Handheld options only shows connected devices. (since MC doesn't know everything it would need to about disconnected devices)
2. Changed: Removed a nesting level in Options > Playback.
3. Changed: Options tree controls have slightly more vertical spacing between items.
4. NEW: Help file updated for v11.1 (thanks Lise!)

8. Changed: If no version number is set in the Podcast file, we reset the download Tag configuration to the default.
9. NEW: Deleted Podcasts episodes can now be hidden from view.
10. Changed: Added ability to turn off TV, Podcasts, Web Media, and My Computer to Options > General > Advanced > Features. (experiment -- may not remain)
11. Changed: If a DirectShow video file hung on opening (due to a bad filter / bad file), MC would not be able to stop or shutdown properly.
12. Fixed: Some interface plugins would not be disabled when checking "stop 3rd party plugins" on the incomplete shutdown dialog. (AudioScrobbler, etc.)
13. NEW: Added option to use super-fast Go-Go encoder to MP3 encoder. (2x-3x faster for doing on-the-fly conversion for handhelds, UPnP, etc.)
14. Changed: Reworked the MP3 encoder options dialog.
15. Changed: Podcast download button is now gone.  It is replaced by a "Download" hyperlink.
16. Changed: All click-able entries in the Episode Status column are now shown as hyperlinks, and have custom tooltips.
17. Optimized: Several assembly optimizations to the core playback / decoding / conversion engine. (lower CPU usage, faster conversions, etc.)
18. Fixed: Clip-protection would not work as expected for the DSP applied to a CD burn. (attenuation would not rebound at the same rate as it would during regular playback)

11.1.121 (02/14/06)

1. Fixed: Duplicate Podcast episodes are now handled gracefully.
2. Fixed: Deleting files from a handheld (manually or on a sync) could cause a crash.
3. Fixed: Cover art was not working properly over library server.
4. Optimized: Handheld playlist upload is fully threaded. (eliminates pauses after uploading the last file in a sync)

I am running x64 (I'll post my specs here when I get home):

Media Server set to startup (added to Startup folder) not working; tried to manually start and get "error getting license from file" error.

I searched for the Media Server.exe in the MC11 folder and only found it in the Start>Program Files location so that is what I am trying to start.
here's its target:

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\BBInstaller.exe /MediaServer

Server works fine when MC is running.

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)

EXCELLENT - Thanks Guys, I've been asking for this for a long time.

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).
2. Fixed: FF/Rew of TV in time-shifting mode did not work in build 11.1.124.

This would be VERY useful if BDA drivers were supported, any ideas on when this might be implemented as this would mean I can use MC for everything on my HTPC and not run additional TV viewing software?


Found this by chance:

In Tools/Options/Startup  the Mode has Windowed View and Theater View swapped around (and thus do the wrong thing when selected!)


Cheers

For iPod nano, choosing "Auto-eject: On close" actually ejects after sync.  (This isn't new; as far as I can tell, it's always done this.)

C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\BBInstaller.exe /MediaServer

This is the problem. Please remove Media Server from the startup folder and then readd it (go to your MC11 start menu item, and drag the Media Server item to the startup folder). The target should be different.
