Thank you Marius! I shall do some testing on this tomorrow.  If it's anything like RC1 you'll be onto a winner.

Great, Marius! Now my VT problems seems to be over!

Cool Marius!

We're now live with 1.6.5.8B4RC1 and it's doing GREAT. We'll test with RC2 in a while.

No download
I have always forced the downloads checked with avast the zip package and tells me that there is no threat. So maybe a problem resident on the website.

I've just checked here with my copy of Avast and it's not found anything I suspect it's a false positive. Also just downloaded on a different PC and that's come back squeaky clean as well.

- Bug which prevented loading files of type "Newest From Folder" [FIXED];

Thanks Marius for this new update !
Just tried the "Newest From Folder" track type. The track is correctly recorded into the database, but when i try to monitor or play in the main player nothing happens... I tried with a folder with only 1 file and with a folder with several files, and it's the same problem. No file is choosen by RDJ. Maybe i'm doing something wrong...

Just another question: How to save the columns width in tracks manager ? When i re-open it i have to resize each columns to see the content.

I also believe and hope that it is a fake I forced the update. In any case avast behaves in a strange way ... the download is blocked if you download the file and you do analyze zipped notifies you that it is ok, but if you try to move the block playlist.dll telling you that it is infected.

[Jhonny]

I hate that kind of programs who block the file and a program can not be used and not leave it to the user if the file should be blocked.

Hi Marius,

Great release! I'm going to replace it and go live with it!

One bug found, though:

Today we ran a Top-10 Greatest Movie Soundtracks. Throughout the evening, we added 7 tracks and played them normally. In the end, we wanted to do a Top-7 of the Top-10 to refresh our listeners memory, after which we would play the Top-3.

So on our production-PC I created a Playlist and added sounds for "Numberrrrr 10!" and the track 10, "Numberrrrr 9!" and track 9, etc.
After that, I edited the Cue-Points (Start, Next Start and End), because we wanted to display snippets instead of the longer tracks we played in full earlier. So I made the tracks so that they would sound 5-10 secs and saved them.

Then the DJ loaded my saved playlist into the queue and when we played them, they used the Cue-points as they were before I edited them. So we had to manually advance the list to prevent the 'quick Top-7' wouldn't be an evening-filling show 

Hope you can figure this one out!

I'm getting the same virus warning with Avast telling me that the Playlist.dll is infected.

Noticed one issue when I did the simple upgrade with the 2 main files and the plugins that it does not auto start when I open it after I do the settings. I have tried restarting and closing both windows and the dj program and it simply will not auto play. I have them check off in the options and also on the main screen and nothing is happening until I hit play.

Confirmed. Will not Auto Play on start up when checked in options. User must manually click play to start program.

Is anyone else finding the sound is a bit scratchy?? Started the RC up and the first couple of tracks sounded terrible. 

I've played the same files on 1.6.5.7 and they sounded fine. With this beta it sounds like they are recorded badly off vinyl.

[Marius]

Ok, i repacked the release, tested with avast and no more warning. I also fixed the autostart.
Please download again the package and follow the same procedure to update.

@rogiermaas: Did you edited the tracks in Playlist builder using the blue icon from the right?
@DJ Garybaldy: the sound functions are un-touched since the first beta, so i really don't know what happened there. Could you check the sound settings (compressor, volume, agc?).
@nemoradio: Indeed the monitoring of those types of tracks was not enabled, but in main player they should work, as i tested them before the release and today too. However in this release the monitoring is also enabled for them.
