History

12.0.75 (9/21/06)

1. Changed: Editing of TV station names and deleting TV channels can now be done on TV Configuration -> TV Channels page (whereas previously they are available only on the "Scan Channels" dialogs).
2. Optimized: Some internal database operations are faster.
3. Changed: Fullscreen bars only show when the mouse moves into the border area.
4. NEW: Update view header images.
5. Changed: Manually expanding a tree item will scroll the tree if necessary to make children visible.
6. NEW: Thumbnails for images that use alpha will look better.
7. Fixed: Cover art not working on new 2nd generation Nanos.
8. Fixed: Fields that had not been changed / saved for a long time could fail to load. (introduced in build 74)
9. NEW: Internet code no longer skips trying to connect when a connection isn't currently alive -- hopefully improving usability for wireless LAN, etc. users.

12.0.74 (9/20/06)

1. Changed: Log entries for DirectShow video thumbnailing threads all carry thread IDs.
2. Fixed: Checking for changed / missing files could go slower than expected if the database contained CD or DVD files.
3. Fixed: Windows Server 2003 could (still) report a Windows Media error during installation.
4. Changed: The entire audio branch (instead of just the audio renderer) is removed from the DirectShow graph for video thumbnailing.
5. Fixed: Some extended file types (JMX, etc.) would always be considered "externally changed" during an import, causing slowdowns.
6. Optimized: Loading of media files database over twice as fast.
7. Changed: Audio, images and video are loaded into the tree before other items.

12.0.73 (9/19/06)

1. Fixed: Windows Server 2003 could report a Windows Media error during installation.
2. Fixed: WAV (or other DirectShow) audio playback types wouldn't stop as fast as expected.
3. Fixed: Video playback could fail on some machines.
4. Changed: Cross-fade length can't be longer than half the length of the file that just played. (for playing very short files)
5. Fixed: When playing very short files, the player could stall and stop playing more files.
6. Fixed: Double-clicking a file in Playing Now with "Always jump to Playing Now" selected could cause a crash.
7. Fixed: The status below a video while it was loading did not support translation.
8. Changed: Tweaked how grabbing a handle of a slider works so only non-alpha regions are grabbable.
9. Fixed: Otto could wrongly see a Media Center tagging action as an external change in certain cases.
10. Fixed: Possible rare crash with multi-threaded skinning.
11. Changed: When saving tag changes, the status bar will say "Saving tag changes (playing file remaining -- stop playback to finish)" to clarify this scenario.

12.0.72 (9/18/06)

1. Fixed: Image caption no longer being bozoed when zooming.
2. Fixed: Vista was causing a crash when browsing for folders.
3. Fixed: WMV playback would fail on some systems.
4. Changed: Artist is flagged as "all media types". (instead of audio specific)
5. Fixed: Integer-style fields would be a drop-list instead of a combobox when editing.
6. Fixed: Empty playlists would use image columns instead of audio columns. (switches automatically when adding files)
7. Changed: More fields are available in the Tag window.
8. Fixed: Right-clicking without moving the mouse first in fullscreen mode wouldn't show the mouse cursor.
9. Changed: Resizing the window no longer moves the camera position of 3D visualizations to a random spot.
10. Fixed: Black portions of images in the 3D visualiztions could show as transparent.
11. Changed: Sample Grabber method of thumbnailing is not used when FFDShow video decoder filter is detected.
12. Changed: Video playback doesn't prevent video slideshows on single file double-click.
13. Changed: Display resizes when borders appear in fullscreen.

JGreen, this one's for you.  Let us know if it improves things.

Thanks, Matt, this seems to be working much better.  I'm not sure what's changed, but I didn't give MC any nudges getting to the internet and it got there 3 out of 3 times, so I'm giving it a provisional "W".  I really appreciate your help looking into this.

EDIT:  Having put a few more CDs through the mill under battlefield conditions, I'm ready to call the improved lookup system "bulletproof".  It has not yet failed to get a connection.  I watched it wake my stupid wireless card up from dormancy, something even Firefox has trouble doing.

Bottom line:  There's light at the end of the tunnel, Matt, IMO.

I like it.  A lot.  Now I can keep the mouse on the couch next to me when I'm watching video.  Before I always had to move it to the coffee table.  That's fine when you're not extremely lazy and fully horizontal, but...   ;D

A few versions ago I reported that if you move a selection of tracks via "rename from properties", and play one while the process is on going, that track will be renamed correctly but will remain in its former position.  I don't know whether this has been looked at, but I can report that rating a track while doing a "rename from properties" has the same effect, as if changing anything in metadata (sorry) during the process means that it will fail to move.

TV Options does not work!

I can select TV channels, but if I select Options or in Options>Playback>TV Settings I get the following error: "Failed to Play TV" and MC12 crashes.

(MC11.1 is installed in parallel, which works flawlessly)

When Your On The Debuging Window Pressing "Click To Reset log file" it does not give any feedback to the user. So the user is unsure MC did anything.

Maybe a popup window "Log File Reset"

- When Tagging action pane is open on a semi column delimeted (list) field, then In place editing on a song in the panes acts weird. You edit a field in the panes, when typing "tab", it doesn't go to the next field but closes the editing of the field. When closing the action pane, all works fine.

MC is refusing to re-import tracks that I've previously deleted.  I remember this used to be an option, which I can no longer find.  This isn't an automatic feature now, is it?

"Enable watch folders"--OFF

"Update for external changes"--OFF

You can edit your Watch Folders under Tools/Options/Library.  It's a checkbox.
