Very nice!

[Durgame]

It's blue!  Can I get the old colors back?

[dragyn]

Black area when all columns fit on screen (space on right side of last column)

Moving mouse over "Name" column heading doesn't reset when moving mouse away; other columns do not highlight when doing this. Moving mouse off of contect view resets it.

Scroll bars get messed up when clicking on the file menu and it covers it. Seems as if the player window and tree window get "active" and have borders around the windows. Could be a problem on my end, I'll check later (winfx).

Resizing columns doesn't refresh screen; leaves vertical lines where the column was. Happens with "Name" mostly.

[RockinRog]

I am super impressed with the way MJ has vastly grown since 7.2. I love it!!

Keep the great MJ work continuing.

[Mavrick]

Can only get DFX plug-in to work in DSP studio checking any MJ DSP gives "no display available" then checking any other DSP causes MJ crash.

Now try this: Click and hold on top of tree window and drag, the whole tree/play control area moves corrupting the whole MJ window.

I would like to see an option to disable mega-me skinning on WinXP as I use WindowBlinds and don't really need or want it.

Keep up the good work tho nothing more fun than playing with a new beta and watching it evolve:}

[RockinRog]

I found that when opening the DSP Studio, MJ crashes. It worked on the previous version so I don't think it's me but inform me if it is. My system has been running crappy for a while. I think the reason is my Abit BD7-RAID board. BLAH BLAH BLAH I'm sure you get the point.


WinXP
1.8 P4
IE 6.6
256MB PC2100 DDR
I guess that's enough info

[RockinRog]

That's the word I was looking for, "Evolved." The proper word to use for my 1st post, instead of grown. Thanks Mavrick!

[geekboy200]

Though it might not need saying, at least for now, I'd suggest diabling WB skinning of the app. It doesn't look very good with it enabled.

[dragyn]

RockinRog,

Happens here too. Says "No display available" and when you click on it, MJ crashes.

[Matt]

Just wanted to mention that you can hold on reporting MEGA-ME skinning bugs for a build or so.  We know there's lots of work still to do.

Thanks everyone.

12. Fixed: One of the default Custom Task, "Play a media file", did not work correctly. (Current user need to change manually from the path's "Media Jukebox.exe" to "mjextman.exe" and save the command).

Ok...what are we supposed to do?  Regedit something?  What is a Custom Taks in MJ?

[ZRocker]

That's better...not so blue...LOL.

[tdillard]

Well,
      I've read a few previous posts, so I know I'm not the only one, but I will repeat it once again. The DSP studio crashes MJ as soon as you click on it to adjust anything. There is no display at all for anything other than DFX, could you maybe give us an idea of when this will be fixed?

[Charlemagne 8]

I am surely not the only one who notices that you can't access the Encoder Plugin Configurations from "Plug in Manager". Is this supposed to be this way?

BTW, Love the blue.

[Durgame]

Hey ZRocker,

How'd you do that?  That's what I'm talking about.  Some blue is very nice

Durgame

[Raymond]

ZRocker,

>>12. Fixed: One of the default Custom Task, "Play a media file", did not work correctly. (Current user need to change manually from the path's "Media Jukebox.exe" to "mjextman.exe" and save the command).

Both 11 and 12 is for Media Scheduler.

Ray

[ZRocker]

CVIII,

Yes (that is the way it is supposed to be)...read the build 236 release notes.  The Plug-In manager's configure button was not in-sync with the Options > Encoding setting screen (and was confusing).

[ZRocker]

Durgame,

I modified the main.xml file for the Default Mega-Me skin.

[Brana]

I am still unable to rip discs, even with the latest build, with my SCSI CD-ROM under Windows 2000. When I hit rip and copy, status says initialzing and just stays there, yet there's no activity on the drive itself. I've tried every variation of settings under options>devices with no luck. I am able to rip using my IDE DVD-ROM dive, but it is much slower and I'd like to get scsi back up.

[sekim]

ZRocker

You beat me to the punch! Gonna be busy for a while with this one.

Typo: Click help and mouse over the plus features and look at the bottom nav screen, just above the start button for windows. Says -> Show Plus Feates Information

[JohnS]

With or without DFX, when I try to make any changes/selections in DSP Studio, MJ crashes.

Also, the "target" at the top of the tree view seems to "dissappear" until focus is given to the tree view... And there is a "close" X in the upper right corner of the tree view, as if I could "close" the tree view..

With regard to the new color scheme: it is VERY difficult to determine if a radio button is "on" or "off" in the settings dialogs..

[ZRocker]

Request:
When Mega-Me skinning is done, have at least a basic (not-so-blue) skin that is more greyish w/blue highlights...more like old Mega-Me before build 245.  I love skining, but don't want to spend days trying to get basic visual Mega-Me back (I like blue, too).

As is, my quickly modified Mega-Me skin doesn't look good everwhere because the black font (menu) doesn't look good on Blue buttons (Options).  Probably need the ability to specify more font colors throughout (specific to where they are going to be used).

[Doof]

I just realized one thing that Download Manager really needs. Indicators for Elapsed Time and Remaining Time.

[sekim]

>>>10. Changed: DSP Studio now remembers its last position.

That's all it remembers. One touch and, ZOT, no more MJ.

Noticed in the file under windows explorer that my old view, or skin, is still there. If this was changed to the default would MJ revert back to that scheme? Or is the xml specific to this new skin? I was just going to edit the look with P.S.P, not tackle the code. And I really didn't want to delete the new skin.

[sekim]

Just tried the vis studio and got this one.

MEDIA JUKEBOX caused an invalid page fault in
module PLAYBACKENG.DLL at 0167:019fe573.

[sdgrizdan]

You still have to move your mouse over the track position slider in mega-me mode for it to move properly.

Nice skinning : )

[Doof]

Installer : This doesn't shut down Download Manager (and maybe other members of the MJ suite?) before installing. Because of this, DM wasn't updated. I had to shut DM down manually then re-run setup.

Request : Can the fullscreen menu option for enlarged menus be seperate from Internal & mini-me? I want a nice big menu for fullscreen (since I'm most likely across the room using a remote) but not for MEGA-ME or mini-me where I'm most likely sitting at the computer for.

Question : Are you guys planning on making the MEGA-ME skinning a suite-wide (Media Jukebox, Download Manage, Media Editor, Media Scheduler, CD Labeler, Music01 Server) thing, or just MJ? Suite-wide would take longer, but it would do a lot to make MJ feel like a cohesive package.

So far, I'm very impressed. I haven't experienced any problems in relation to the MEGA-ME skinning (yet). And besides the DSP Studio crashes that everybody else is reporting, it's running really nice. Even the grid lines are back and working!

[sekim]

Toggling between full screen view and internal view brings back the old nemesis of not remembering what was selected in either screen. Was working in the last build, for me anyway.

[sekim]

MEDIA JUKEBOX caused an invalid page fault in
module PLAYBACKENG.DLL at 0167:019fe573.

Right clicked on the internal view vis to bring up options pop-up and MJ vapor locked with this one.

[sekim]

Options button for vis and the like, retains focus after choices are made. Have to click again for highlight to shutoff.

ADDITIONAL  Making a selection from the options button or from right click doesn't refresh info in the quick select bar.

Example - Fireball last vis played. New selection is say, Make It Stop. Changes the vis itself but not the info in the bar below the vis.

MORE All the buttons in the quick select bar for vis', or track info, retain focus after selection is made. Have to off click somewhere to release focus.

[Zuri]

In past versions, I was able to right click on Artist/Album and "Add new Artist" or "Add new album". This was intuitive and simple and it was useful for music that I wanted to place in generic album names or generic artist names. When I try that now, all I get is stuff about view schemes. What's the easiest way to add an artist or album now??\
THANKS for a wonderful program!

This is the DSP error that I get when messing with the studio.

MEDIA JUKEBOX caused an invalid page fault in
module DSP_MJMAIN.DLL at 0167:02438544.

Hope it helps.

[Mavrick]

Ok I gotta ask, why was the disable visualizations option removed? This has bugged me for several builds. Raising the playlist to the top does not really kill it, just watch cpu usage in task manager on XP or 2K. I usually want the vis but occasionally I want to just shut it off.

I'd also like to get to vis studio sometimes without having to start playback.

[Shawn Rebelo]

LOL, almost the same ZRocker.

[chaznet]

New skinning looks nice, almost as good as when MJ worked with Windowblind skins in both Mega & Mini view...

[Severian]

Have mercy on your new and current users: Ditch the new radio and option buttons look in favor of graphics that are either larger or less ambiguous. I have no idea what's on, off, or unavailable anymore.

[RhinoBanga]

Album cover problems posted yesterday still remain:

[John C]

I am still having trouble trying to burn 2 copies of an audio CD. MJ burns the first copy then opens a box to say insert second disc to burn, MJ then ejects the disc with error box as follows:- Error Write Command failed on device 1:0:0 .
Illegal command request (04h 00h 02h 05h 24h 00h)

I have had this on the last 3 beta's now. Can anyone confirm this or is it just my system??

I'd give more info but I'm still working on getting back to normal interface when I restarted MJ I clicked on the top toolbar and crashed again.

[Matthias]

Crashing in kernel32...only in Media Jukebox on my new HTPC machine (I've only used 239 & 245 betas on it though) playing 16/44/1 WAV files in a 800-file playlist.  It seems to crash especially fast if I have visualizations on.  With 245, however, right before the crash I get a C|PLS||PLS| error within MJ, then I click close, then I get the illegal operation in kernel32.

Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment.

My HTPC:
Windows98SE w/IE 5.5 SP2 & DX8.1
AIW 7500 w/latest official ATI drivers
Delta 1010LT soundcard (as the main sound card) using VxD drivers
Audigy Platinum (used only for games)
1.6GHz Pentium4
Asus P4S333-M (SiS645)
512MB Crucial 2100 DDR
Enermax Whisper 350W PS

No overclocking...no lockups in any other program, including MS-WMP 7.1 (I've used it for hours on end, as MJ only lasts 45 minutes, but usually less before crashing).

I will try to get you guys more info about the crashes tomorrow.

[bennyd]

I noticed now in WIN XP that the currently playing song has another color (which was not possible before MEGA skinning)
Is there a setting in the main.xml to change the color of the currently playing song ? (I didn't find it back)

[bennyd]

MEDIA Scheduler:

- When adding a task "Start Recording", MJ will start and open the dialog box with the message "waiting for sound", MJ does not start playing automatic,
 not even when all options are checked to auto play on startup

[Ruud Bijvank]

(Repost, because of no reactions)

Hi Guys,
I've not reported this earlier, because I thought that someone else already did it (The main reason is actually that I've hardly the time to go through all messages on this forum

1. A really irritating bug is when the last track of the playlist has ended, the program keeps playing the last second of that track over and over. The only way to stop it is to play another item and stop that one.

2. I use moving and Copying of files a lot. When I'm connected to my network at home, there is no problem. So the last action was probably moving a file to the server. Not with a drive letter, but with an UNC.
Being on the road, not connected to the network, I use this feature too and ... It searches first for the non-existing workgroup, before showing the treeview with all maps.

Just thought I'd try the lastest release to see how its getting on,  its been a while since I tested a beta,  and things have certanly changed,  anyways heres my two peneth.

1> Find CD - Defaults to Amazon.com,  id like to see at least an option for amazon.co.uk (possible other countries should be included?).

2> Online content I.E. MJ News from start page doesnt seem to use the proxy details as set in the CDDB registration as it did in previous versions,  thus no new plugins or online content will work.

3> It would be nice to be able to adjust the order of items in the Media library,  I'd like to be able to
  choose whether or not Album is first or Artist (personally I prefer artist.)

4> Can we have back the old classic themes (skins),  I was rather liked the old mini me view and it was much more
  descrete than the new huge one.

5> Can we also have the old visualizations included in the new version, the classic bars and firestorm bars where
  great.

6> Some of the check boxes and option boxes are no clear as to what is actually selected.


When I say have back,  what I really mean to say is bundled (or at least as a download option)


Any how apart from that its looking really good.

When MJ is in Playing Now and the option "Auto-Hide Bars" is turned off and "resize display for bars" is turned on
and my visualisations/play list is half screen :

- I have a visualisation with text at the bottom, when switching from "playing now" to "media library" and back, the
 visualisation gets resized properly so my text is above my toolbar.

- Minimize MJ to the System Tray, Double click on the system Tray icon to maximize again, then visualisations are not resized, my text is underneath the
 toolbar.
