MuvAudio v2.8.5.0 is now available for download.

Version History:

• Changes affecting all versions of Windows:
• Fixed an issue where the main MuvAudio window would sometimes open under other windows.
• Fixed an issue where the horizontal scrollbar would should up on the playlist when it was not necessary.
• Removed MessageBox that was inadvertantly left and shown when you have the ‘overwrite existing file’ option set and it finds a file to overwrite, in v2.8.0.0.
• Removed successful deletion messagebox when right-clicking on an item in the playlist and choosing the ‘Delete From Computer’ option. It already asks if you want to delete the file so the telling of the actual deletion was redundant.
• Updated the reliability of the deleting of incomplete files on close.
• Changes affecting Windows Vista only:
• Updated the recording time display for each file to more acurately depict the actual file position.
• Improved overall recording time on Vista by decreasing audio device setup time per track.
• Fixed an issue regarding the random stopping of the recording process while the progress bar continued to count up to 99% and would then stop. This is the second fix for this type of issue and was due to an issue with Windows Media Player.
• Fixed an issue where second(s) from the beginning of a file might be cut-off when using certain hardware. If you still experience this, please see http://www.muvaudio.com/faq.php#vmiss
• Fixed an issue with .XXXXXX files being created when the file was the last file in a session and was skipped due to missing rights.
• Fixed an issue with the temporary output file (size of less than 1KB) not being deleted when the file was skipped due to missing rights.

MuvAudio v2.8.0.0 is now available for download.

Version History:

• Changes affecting all versions of Windows:
• Added the ability to click on the error details when recording finishes. When clicked, it now loads a webpage to the appropriate information for troubleshooting the error.
• Added the ability to start watch folder mode from the command prompt. (See http://muvaudio.com/watchfoldermode.php for details, or run MuvAudio2 -? for parameter information).
• Added the “When Output File Exists” option to allow the user to choose to not convert the file, overwrite the existing file, or create a unique filename by adding ‘~#’ at the end if a file with the same output name as a file set to convert already exists.
• Added support to modify the “Audio Playback Rate” to set the speed at which the audio file is played back at and saved into the output file (useful for audiobooks and lectures). Not all files support faster playback.
• Updated the add file to playlist code to not allow the user to add the same file more than once in a playlist (it would create duplicates and didn’t make sense to allow it).
• Updated the “File Skipped Due To Missing License” message to not confuse the user into thinking that the error applied to the MuvAudio2 Registered User License. Also, if you click on this error, it will load a webpage with information on the issue and hoe to resolve it.
• Fixed System.BadImageFormatException (with extensive testing) due to the original encryption of the exception handler. This should fix the issue where the application would randomly crash on startup and if run again, after the first crash, it would usually open fine.
• Fixed issue with Reset Soundcard Application Text on close of MuvAudio2 Console when errors have been detected, stating that it needed to be run to finish setup of MuvAudio2 (should only say that on install). It now displays the correct message.
• Fixed issue with Console sometimes stating that it had completed successfully even though there were errors. It now displays “Recording completed with errors!” in all cases were errors have occurred.
• Fixed an issue with the <, and > characters being set in the output filenames and on load of playlists as “<“, and “>” instead of the actual character, respectively.
• Fixed an issue with the output filename information not using “Unknown” when no information for the file tag is found. It sets the values to “Unknown” like the directory output does.
• Removed MessageBox stating that the soundcard has been set successfully when Reset Soundcard Application is run (it was there to inform the user that it ran, but we have determined it is more of a nuisance).
• Changes affecting Windows Vista only:
• Fixed issue with the error details error info box GUI spilling over the side of the groupbox (aesthetic fix).
• Fixed an issue where users would receive a “Windows – Bad Image” message due to an issue with Windows Media Player. It no longer creates the .xxxxxx files in this case and continues the recording process like normal. (If you still get the following message: “You must restart the machine to continue content processing.”, please see http://www.muvaudio.com/faq.php#yrr).
• Updated message regarding closing the Console while the soundcard was being set on Vista.

MuvAudio v2.7.1.0 is now available for download.

Version History:

• Changes affecting all versions of Windows:

• Modified play method back to the way v2.6.2.0 worked to address an issue for a few users.
• Fixed issue with “&#x0” being stored in the filename and tag information if the tags on the original file had an invalid end-string character.

MuvAudio v2.7.0.0 is now available for download.

Version History:

• Fixed an issue that would cause recording sessions to stop and never complete (on Vista, progress bars would reach 99% but never finish; on 2000/XP/2003, progress bars would stay the same, indefinitely).
• Improved corrupt file and invalid file (mislabeled file extensions) detection. This helps with the above issue of random session stopping.
• Added messagebox when a corrupt or invalid file is found, when adding files manually. It allows you to choose to not show the messagebox on subsequent invalid files. In watch folder mode, the files are never added to the record playlist and do not display a messagebox (would require user interaction which defeats the purpose of watch folder mode).
• Updated adding files to playlist in “Watch Folder Mode” to detect files already in use (would cause the file to not be recorded successfully). Now, it will try the file on additional searches and add them when not in use. This is useful when watching a folder where files are currently be downloaded to and may not be completely downloaded at the time MuvAudio tries to add them to the playlist.
• Updated splashscreen to resolve issues with “System.BadImageException” errors, random users were experiencing on first run.
• Updated estimated completion time on Vista to be more accurate in cases of invalid files causing under estimations.
• Updated Audio Control Component to increase stability.
• Updated Krypton Toolkit Component to increase stability.
