11.1.147 (3/16/2006)

1. Changed: Folders with only a Folder.jpg in them are no longer considered empty.

3. Fixed: When Podcast media URLs were inserted in the library, it was not possible to manually download them.
4. Fixed: In the Podcast Feed windows, the Podcast ICON was resized to fill the window when you selected any Podcast episode.
5. Fixed: EXIF tags with circular links in them could cause a crash.
6. Fixed: The FLAC input plugin not properly supported, causing files to be set to zero length. (introduced in build 146)
7. Optimized: Several speed and memory optimization to grouping-style thumbnail lists.
8. Optimized: Improved drawing speed of core rendering engine used everywhere.
9. Fixed: Multiple bugs in the CD labeling program including a problem where the first preview worked, but nothing appeared on the second.

11.1.146 (3/15/2006)

1. Changed: The spacing between text and a drop arrow has been reduced.
2. Changed: If a search for Media Servers fails the previous or default library will be loaded (no longer includes offer to restore from backup).

4. NEW: When removing empty folders, folders with only a Thumbs.db or Folder.jpg in them will be considered empty.
5. Changed: The root of playlists now honors Access Filter settings.
6. Changed: Updated the German translation file. (thanks ByteStar)
7. Fixed: Misspelling in the Download Manager.
8. Changed: WIA camera import gets video files off the device as well as images. (WIA doesn't have file extensions -- just WiaItemTypes)
9. Fixed: The fade-in / fade-out of text items in library tiles wouldn't look as clean as expected.
10. Fixed: Alpha on alpha drawing could produce strange effects in some cases.
11. Fixed: MC was not writing playlist information to some Windows Mobile devices.
12. Fixed: MC was not reading playlist information from some Windows Mobile devices.
13. Fixed: Digital TV in time-shifting mode could have access violations when switching channels.
14. Changed: Updated Spanish translation. (thanks ferent)
15. Fixed: JPEG tags would not be properly saved. (use Update Tags (from library) to force save of tags)
16. Changed: Image tagging errors are now reported like audio tagging errors. (instead of suppressing the errors)
17. Changed: Revised the "no thumb" image shown in library grouping views.

11.1.145 (3/14/2006)

2. Changed: SDK lookups of library server filenames that have been hexified now work. (fixes issue with Cinemar + Library Server)

11.1.144 (3/13/2006)

1. Fixed: Command line usage wouldn't properly deal with quotes in some cases. (i.e. MC11.exe "/PlayReplace Zone=1|TreePath=Playlists\My Hits")
2. Changed: Updated the German translation file. (thanks and happy birthday to ByteStar!)
3. Changed: "Save smartlist" dialog has a never ask again check.

5. Fixed: Enter was not being properly routed to DVD menus in some cases.
6. Changed: Double-clicking on the fullscreen bars no longer toggles fullscreen mode.
7. Fixed: Thumbnails set to a large size (i.e. 256x256 wouldn't be drawn using the full area)
8. Fixed: Playing a DVD while images were playing could result in unexpected playback of both at once.
9. Changed: Updated player area text defaults to use "//" for slash. (double-slashes are required since slash is the escape character in expressions)
10. Changed: Tiles no longer animate through images or status information on mouse-over when Media Center isn't the focused application.
11. Fixed: Files added to a "Recent Playing Now" list would get autmatically imported.
12. New: Preliminary support for DVB-T digital TV (not fully tested).
13. Changed: The file list below a grouping of tiles uses the same settings as a file list below the panes.
14. Fixed: After resetting all views, the sorting "A to Z" for grouping views didn't properly show a checkmark.
15. Fixed: Once internet connection was dropped (and error page shown), service plugins would continue to show the error page even after reconnection.

5. NEW: Holding the mouse over the name in a tile will scroll through summary information of the tile.
6. Fixed: Podcast download/display/purge was confused by permanent database entries with a filename URL.
7. Fixed: The behavior for General\Double-Click and TheaterView\Jump on Play were not working correctly in languages other than english.

11.1.142 (3/9/2006)

1. Fixed: DVR-MS files were imported as audio.

I just ask that in the future you post any plugin interface changes to the announcement here, so that we can at least be aware of the change and know to possibly look for problems.  I say that because there's nothing in the 146 changes to make one look.

[JimH]

It was our mistake.  We didn't realize that any plug-ins used the reader.

2 bugs:

1 - GUI is doing some very strange redrawing things, with icons and toolbars and other elements disappearing and reappearing as the mouse moves around.
(Edit: It seems to have stopped now! It happened the first 2 times I opened it - curious!  ? )

2 - Something I've noticed for a number of builds now: When you stretch the right-most border of the right-most column in details view, you have to choose a different location in the tree and then switch back to see the results. This didn't happen in previous builds of MC, thought I don't know when it started. I know it isn't particularly important, but I use 2 monitors, and often need to stretch the last column as it often contains the filename, and it's very helpful to be able to stretch it to see the details of the name.

I saw the menu go away also.  Restarted several times and still the same issue.  The menu would disappear.  Repainting during a large operation was also off.  I dropped back to 146 and all is normal.

[Matt]

We can't reproduce the menu drawing issues.

Any other clues?  Does switching skins matter?  What OS are you using?

Thanks.

7. Optimized: Several speed and memory optimization to grouping-style thumbnail lists.
8. Optimized: Improved drawing speed of core rendering engine used everywhere.

This is quite noticable, much apreciated.
Thanks!

9. Fixed: Multiple bugs in the CD labeling program including a problem where the first preview worked, but nothing appeared on the second.

Thanks, very much appreciated.
One very little issue with the CD labeling program: if one does not explicitely navigate to the "CD Info" section of the wizard before switching to the full application, deactivated "Include artist names..." sometimes [sic!] is ignored and artist names of songs will be used in track listing (state of the radio box is preserved during sessions, if ones deactivated it will stay deactivated during program runs as long as not again activated).

When viewing the new cover stacks through library server, it doesnt seem to work properly.  Amost every album shows as a stack, even though they display properly (as a single cover) in the local library.

[Robert Taylor]

Are you guys sure nothing has changed in recent builds in relation to the "Rename Files From Properties" function?

I cannot perform this operation, it says that the files might be write-protected.

The directories containing the files are, but the files themselves are not (I can use the "Delete" menu item to remove them.

Any ideas?

It's as if "Rename Files From Properties is checking the directory for the read-only flag rather than the files themselves when you try to rename...

cheers

Nothing has changed that I'm aware of.  Check the advanced NTFS permissions.  Somehow they go silly on me at home all the time.
