Hello,

Since making that post I have not noticed this problem on latest builds - it is partly because I mostly listen to playlists, not tracks in album folders. I was unable to reproduce the problem just now before writing this reply.

I have recently uninstalled a third-party app (for enhancing multiple monitor desktop) that I believe may have been causing problems with MM5.

I am also now opening MM5 on my laptop screen instead of my big external TV screen and since making that switch I have not experienced any display problems of note.

Hi,
I am not being able to replicate your issue at all even on long running of MM5 2291.

Can you confirm?

last 3 tracks of album list disappear [video]

by bdbtbb » Mon Nov 16, 2020 5:34 pm

Build 2274

Video: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AuEntbdh7QJAip5s7wk ... g?e=ZNrQQ8

Last 3 tracks of a long album list (in the central section of the app) disappear - not all the time, but sometimes when interacting with them, or when scrolling. Does not happen every time - but definitely happens often.

Just posting in case it is a thing.

This should be fixed in build 2273. Can you confirm?

Thanks!

Hi Lowlander,

Using the recommended text size / scaling.

BUT if I change to 125% (whilst MM5 is open) and then flip back to 100%, then ALL the menu options appear to be correct e.g. I can the Exit under File and Submit Crash Logs Automatically under Help / Debug

Also black out issue seems to go away as well.

This is the follow up video - after changing the skin and after loading most of the "Tile" artwork.

I do not have comparable issues with MMW4 (version as per signature). I can do a "click / scroll" around vid for MMW4 if that helps.

Be nice to know if I am an isolated case due perhaps to age of PC or the hardware or something...? But if other users are experiencing - particularly new users - then I think they might get a poor impression and not use the software.

1) Scan results shows fine here. Are you using a different DPI or Text Size in Windows?

2) Also can't reproduce the scrolling black out issue with the grid in the Filelisting.

Video Clips of 2272 Installation Experience - Part One

by IanRTaylorUK » Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:58 am

The following videos show what the 2272 installation experience is like and how MMW5 looks / feels after the initial install on an older PC. A few things make the experience less than ideal.

https://octoberclub-my.sharepoint.com/: ... Q?e=4adHCy

A couple of minutes spent doing a portable installation and pointing folders with music and playlists. Stops at the registration point to hide my license key. So far things are OK.

https://octoberclub-my.sharepoint.com/: ... Q?e=i55uxy

This 2 min clip is after the registration key entered and shows the dialogue box truncated. Now things become interesting as I click through some menu options etc. Many menus / sub-menus etc are truncated. See the web page "off-centre"

https://octoberclub-my.sharepoint.com/: ... w?e=m8s7Wb

OK so the library has 31k files after a 26 minute update. Scan results box a little clipped. Great to see the "tiles" populated quickly but notice when scrolling that we get blank areas of screen. Many minutes of clicking around and scrolling. Sometimes it is OK, other times not so good. About 3 minutes 30s in with the "Artists" node shows a bit of a problem. A minute or so later with Years - something similar.

Then I click on "Send Logs" get an error and seem to freeze and end up with a white screen.

Part two will show many of these annoyances overcome.... Maybe a bit later today or sometime tomorrow.

Great! Thanks for confirmation.

All indications are that this is fixed in 2271. Well done.

Hi Peke,

Thanks for heads up. Look forward to testing 2271.

Hi,
This issues is fixed in 2271 and should also improve other parts on MM5 where this change is influencing UI.

Then I don't understand how you could see a diferrent dropdown list in the View dropdown.
If you install build 2268 to a clean folder (not on the top of previous build) as portable version, does the issue still appear?
Could you please zip your 2268 install folder and share via a dropbox link? e.g. send me the link via private message.

by IanRTaylorUK » Mon Oct 05, 2020 2:29 pm

Sorry - I meant to say - I put the versions of the software I am using in my signature.

It 2268 for MMW5 and 1913 for MMW4.

Re: Middle List Screen Loses Top Area when Drag and Dropping Playlists [#16981]

by Ludek » Mon Oct 05, 2020 1:59 pm

OK, so you are most probably testing an old build?

If you go to menu Help > About
do you see 5.0.0.2268 there ?

I get a drop down with:

Views:
.....Grid
.....List
View Elements:
.....Tree (Playlists)
.....Status Bar
Customise:
.....Image Size
.....Manage Views

Not quite as many options as your example.
