Added a typical "Drag and drop"-icon for the items in the playlist to make it easier to understand that you can actually drag and drop them. Fixed a bug that could prevent the playlist from updating when pressing "Refresh now". Made sure all sliders didn't go too near the edges of the screens, so that it is easy to select the entire range of values. Improved the navigation menu in the library tab.

The art of the previous and next songs are now shown at the sides, and the swiping is much easier to control and understand. Added 'Albums', 'Genres' and 'Artists' as browsable items in the library. Fixed that music on network discs didn't show up in the library tab. Changed the rating field in search to display stars instead of percentage. Added additional search modes; in addition to searching for tracks, you may now search for Genres, Artists, Albums, or Everything.

Added a search button in the options menu for those without a hardware button (must be activated in Settings => General settings). Added an "Any" option for the network interface selector. This option makes the server listen on all available network interfaces, and should simplify network configuration a bit. Improved support for portable installations of MediaMonkey. Made the server add all tracks at the same time, instead of one by one, when choosing to play several tracks Now, Next or Last. Improved the search usability. Fixed a bug that could prevent the playlist from refreshing if MediaMonkey crashed and was restarted. Fixed a bug that caused the old album art to persist while switching between songs with and without album art while toggling 'Send album art' on the server. Added a setting for changing the maximum number of tracks that should be sent to the app's 'Now playing' list. Improved the tutorial with better network instructions, and updated images.

Fixed a bug that made the server hang if it was started while MediaMonkey was in a crashed state. Fixed the tray icon sometimes not disappearing when the application closed. Made another way of fixing the "MediaMonkey not found" issue (by doing the COM registration MediaMonkey sometimes fails to do). Made the server an single instance application, to avoid confusion when one instance stole the network port from another. Made it impossible to accidentally play the entire library from the root menu. Fixed a possible crash when shutting down because of another exception. Added a quit button. Must be activated in settings, and should ONLY be used by people who know what consequences killing an Android app can have.

This change is done because new users often got confused as to whether the server was running or not. Added a temporary vote for the future of MediaMonkey remote. Added a "Check for update" button in the server window to allow manual update checks. Fixed an inconsistency in how the album art manipulation worked. Made the 'Loading' indicator disappear if library loading failed. Made the refresh interval a little more flexible (Settings => General settings => Refresh interval). Removed the black box behind track length in the library and playlist. The app now remembers the album art between launches (was previously removed after a change in the architecture of the app, but is now reintroduced). When changing the rating of a song, the instances of this song in the playlist is now also updated.

MMRemote4 Server, v1.2.105C
Changes: Date: 2012-06-11
New versions: Thanks a lot to the very friendly people who have donated a couple of dollars to help us continue the development! Fixed a possible memory leak. John, if this didn't solve your problem, please contact me on my e-mail, and we'll figure it out (I have no way to contact you, and I need more information to be able to debug it). Fixed a connection problem when album art was not set properly in MediaMonkey. Fixed a bug that made the playback status indicate wrong duration after using 'Stop after current'. Fixed a bug that made the enlarged album art unavailable for a couple of seconds after launch. Fixed a bug that could prevent the album art from updating if two subsequent tracks had the same title. Fixed a bug that sometimes made the app download album art more often than necessary. Fixed a bug in the tutorial that made auto detection happen too often. Fixed library instability and crashes. Added support for only a single (either MediaMonkey volume or system volume) dedicated volume bar on the main screen. Go to settings to configure. Added a 'Reconnect to server' button in Settings. Added better explanations for the possible error messages (click them for more information). Added images to indicate that a button is pressed. Added a 'Connected clients' field on the server. Added a search function in the library. Added an upper limit of 200 songs in a library list to minimize time usage, network traffic and memory usage. If there are more than this, the list will be divided into multiple pages. Added 'Extended view' for all lists, which gives more information about the list items. This is now default, and can be disabled in Settings. If you have any opinions on what information should be included in the lists, please contact us! Added a frame around the album art to make it fit better in the layout when the image is too wide or too high. Added a Help section in Settings that gives you easy access to the MediaMonkey Remote forums, the home page, and our e-mail. Changed the structure of the app to hopefully make it more responsive and less memory consuming. Improved the layout in the tutorial. Made the app start faster. Made menu buttons look better on devices with white background color. Made the app enlarge album art that was too small to fit the art space to make the layout more consistent. Made the remote check for new songs more often when a song is almost finished, to compensate for MediaMonkey crossfading. Now remembers last selected tab when you reopen the app. Fixed a spelling error in the server installer. Fixed a bug that could make the byte counters on the server side lie. Added an automatic updater for the server. Added a 'Quick Fix' button for the missing MediaMonkey problem. Changed the way album art is sent, making it possible to send better quality images, while reducing the network traffic greatly. It is now possible to change network interface (choose which of the available IP addresses to use) on the server. Made the server installer warn the user if the server was running to avoid confusion. Made the server window show on first run. Rewrote parts of the network code to further improve network performance.
