3. Changed: The day of week label at the top-left corner of Theater view television guide is shown with the day of month at the end (Friday 15, Saturday 16, etc.), to avoid confusion between days of different weeks ("Friday 15" versus "Friday 22").

12. Fixed: Made the chapter OSD display the new chapter as you switch.
13. Fixed: When running "Rename, Copy, & Move" tool in Copy mode, copying "jtv" files did not work (only a single .jtv file was copied).

5. Changed: YouTube videos get the description of the video for displaying in Theater View.

Any chance we could get the channel name in the "Artist" field?

Next build:
Changed: YouTube puts the channel title of a video in the genre field.

Next build: Changed: YouTube puts the channel title of a video in the genre field.

I mean, I can make that work by adjusting my views, but the channel name should be the artist, don't you think?
A channel is typically a single person or company, so "Artist" seems more fitting.
 
Genre should really cover the type of video (style/category) rather than who created/published it.

The stock views used in Theater View don't show artist for a video.  I'm not eager to change those views, so decided it was easier to just put the data in genre.

Hopefully you can adjust.

[6233638]

I think I can make it work, though it's not an ideal situation since a lot of the videos in that view (everything is collected in a "Web Videos" view, rather than just YouTube) already have Genre tags.
I don't personally use the genre tags, but they do have pre-existing genres filled out.
 
I don't really like the disconnect for things like Genre: TED rather than Artist: TED
 
I'd say that Genre would be more fitting for the categories that YouTube places their videos into for: Music, Sport, Gaming, Education, Films, TV Shows, News etc.

NEW: Doctor Who preview, a playlist sharing system.  Can now create accounts, upload, download, and view playlists.

what is this?  How does it work?

dave

[JimH]

Dr. Who isn't yet available.  Soon.  Maybe next week.  I described it here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=97869.0

You can see the current playlists here:
userdev.jriver.com/
But nothing will work yet.

I just installed 113 today, I was using 100 with the PixOS skin.

Something has changed with the Export Playlist dialog.  It seems like it's no longer using standard radio buttons.  While 113 works, it causes issues with my automation using BuzOf to automatically click OK.  Is this change intentional and will it remain?  If yes, then of course I'll have to figure something else out for automation.  If not intentional, or if I can convince you to change it back... the normal radio buttons would be better for me...

Don't know if this is just 113 problem or has been there before. This is the first time I have tried this.  I have MC on a PC server windows 7 running 24/7. I have a client on a laptop windows 8.1. When I switch from local library to my server library on the client if there is something playing on the server it stops and reverts back to; movies goes back to movie listing, for tv it goes back to the guide, for music it just stops. I have tried it numersous times and it does the same thing each time.

We never used "standard" anything, since the entire UI is designed using our own UI toolkit.
However, I have fixed the style of checkboxes and radio buttons in PixOS for the next build, they should return to their normal size.

Thank You.

Anyone having problems with data from TheMovieDatabase ?

I upgraded to 113 today and it's not receiving any data from TMDB.

Maybe it's a temporary issue with the api, just checking anyway.

[althemusicman]

Yes I am having the same problems with data from TheMovieDatabase ?
It has stopped on this current version.

[JimH]

They changed their interface.  We've fixed it.  The build will be available in a few days.
