Hey Everyone,

I have just now released another Build of VXCR. If you havent downloaded it already please click the link below:

VXCR PA404-431

If you are having problems gettings VXCR to open, download the PA404-104 Release and replace old files with the new ones. Just incase it doesnt work!

I had a few people to test it and they said it works pretty good! So if you find anything wrong with it let me know. Thanks

BlueCELL

nice work on the latest beta.. much faster and actually works for me now

got encoding engine failed to initilize with the auto detect bitrate setting..

i set it to 192 and it works fine

also it corrupted one of my soundtracks

it was find before i upped my new soundtrack.. then i went and looked at it and all the sound titles are weird chinese characters and its all the same song

Yeah, when using Smart Detect it fails to initalize, then you get a Run Time Error. But at 192 it seems to work. Also, the auto-connect on program load doesn't work. Also, this isn't too major, but it lists some songs twice, with differing file sizes:

When I try to make a sound track that is over the character limit I get a run time error #5 (Invaild procedure call or argument) and the program closes.

Perhaps the dialog box shouldn't alow you to enter more than the limit?

Aside from that, it's an awesome program. I had been using Xbox Soundtrack Editor, but it was a bit of a pain to re-encode my files to wma, and then upload them and rename them. This made the job soooo much easier. In fact, I just added 7 new sound tracks to my xbox.

Feature suggestions:
1) Adding of new soundtracks from a playlist, and naming of that soundtrack based off of the playlist.
Which would facilitate...
2) Batch mode uploading/converting. Add a queue of playlists to be uploaded to the xbox.

Keep up the great work!

EDIT:
feature suggestion #3 a "select all" checkbox for uploading/downloading all songs in a folder/soundtrack

Hey,

Thanks for testing VXCR.

thetruethugg, it is not listing the same files

. There two diffrent ones, look at the file size! And Right Click for Select All etc.

SniperKilla, Send me your st.db file if you want me to repair it.

Other than that, I'll fix these bugs shortly!

Pete: had you previously tried build 104? If so, you may need to reregister the DLL's in the new location to get it to work properly..

SniperKilla / thetruethugg : Which format are you using? I've not had any problems with autodetect so far, although I haven't tried mp3's above 160kbps. However, with Ogg Vorbis files encoded at quality 9 (VERY high), it works fine...
This sounds to me like it may be in part to do with the decoding engine, but I could be wrong.. Does the correct bitrate show up in the info about the files?

Kuffs: You have to remember that this software is still early beta, and this release is to ensure that the core functionality of the app works on a large scale.. Don't worry, the cosmetics like char limits will be in place before the final release. Select All for upload is something I've been bugging BlueCELL about for a bit, but there were some rather major bugs to fix first, which have all been resolved as best as we can tell..
You'll note there are some other features in the options that are not yet available, for example, the VirtualDrive, the autoconnect on open, and also the delete song options.

If my understanding is correct, the VD will allow you to effectively do batch uploads, as you would convert and place on the VD, and then trigger a batch upload when you were ready to.

Playlist handling would be nice, but not essential, and wouldn't speed things up that much once select all is implemented.. Besides, not everyone creates playlists

morbidpete: Hrm..
Which dashboard are you using? (ie which ftp server is being used?)
Also, have you tried deleting your settings.ini and trying again?

Do you have existing soundtracks on the xbox added via m$dash?

Would you be able to send a couple of the tracks to either myself or BlueCELL ? I wonder if there is perhaps some corrupt tag information on there.. It has been known for various tools to add other tag information into MP3's, such as APE. This could be messing it up.. If you're willing to send a couple, PM me.
