Feedback on build 1373

[alirezanoori]

Hi,
I'm using MM4, b1373.
It's nice to see that the sort and cover art problems are fixed So thank you guys for that.
Here's my feedback on this release.

Bugs:
1- When I try to search for a song, the search experience is not that pleasant. Here's what is happenning at my end:
I searched for a long phrase (in the lyrics) and I typed it really fast (programming habit!). Because my library contains over 80GB music, when I typed some of the text was searched, then the playing song changed(!) (focus changed from search text box to other part of the app). After than when I tried to refine the search, MediaMonkey tried to search for that phrase inside of the searched items. Then I tried to load the music library, so i clicked on Music in the tree (in my toolbar because I hide tree and use tree in the toolbar) but suddenly MediaMonkey crashed(!!). I sent the log for the crash to MediaMonkey servers but after that I couldn't minimize the app(!!!) at the end, I opened task manager and killed the MediaMonkey process.
Note: I have enabled "lyrics" in the search options.

2- When I played a video (for the first time just to see how is it in MM), I double clicked on the video to make it go to fullscreen. It went to fullscreen but it was paused. This means that it processed my first click as pause and my second click + first as a double click and processed both! I don't think this is a good idea. I expect when I double click on a video, it just go to fullscreen mode, resuming the playback
.
3- Overall the loading process of the library in MediaMonkey is not that robost. When it's loading a large library, it's very fragile. I can easily make MediaMonkey crash with a few fast clicks here and there.

I hope these problems get fixed soon
Best regards.

OK. I'll do it right away.

Thank you.
Moved the requests to http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =4&t=57859
The first one is done so I'll remove that.

3) Send debug logs and steps to reproduce: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... ?f=6&t=341 I experience slowness, but not crashes.

2) This was an issue earlier, but has been fixed since. I can't reproduce it here.

2) OK. I got it. It doesn't pause. It stops for a few moments then it resumes but since I haven't seen anything like this in any other video player, I thought that it's paused and I tried to resume it. So I think developer guys should think of something for this problem.
3) Whenever the MM asks me to send the data, I'll send it. I'll read the post you linked to see what more I can do.

2) Maybe because it's a smoother transition to start with in other players. Under specific circumstances it does seem to pause on double click. Unfortunately I can't find any information on this in either forum or Mantis.
3) A debug log contains more information and is thus more helpful.

[Lowlander]

2) There does seem to be an issue. Click once to Pause, double click to maximize, notice video plays, then pauses. So it seems to execute both 2 single clicks and a double click.

2) I'm able to reproduce problems. Added here: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7794

1) Is Entire Library or Current Collection selected? If not it's expected it searches in file list.

[alirezanoori]

1) I checked, "Music" was selected. As soon as I got more information on how to reproduce problems, I'll post them here.
2) Thanks. I hope it gets fixed.
3) The file that I downloaded has a _debug at the end of it so I assume I'm using a debug build.

1) Just read the related link, it's exactly what I'm saying here. The UI shouldn't be locked (the search should run on another thread) and as user types more character the previous search thread should be closed. This is what I always do in my applications. Also in my opinion 200ms is a little too low too.
Thank you.
