This section documents changes and enhancements to XPlay by version number.
XPlay is a legacy application that uses the original Windows Help file (.hlp). Windows 10 does not support this help format and if you select Help from the application, it will not launch. As a workaround, a Windows HTML Help file (XPlay.chm) is included in the installation and a Windows menu item is created for it. Additionally, the manual is installed as a PDF document.
1.Fix. If an audio item had regional distribution settings set to distribute carts to all regions (all on), XPlay would misinterpret the file as an MPEG file.
2.Fix. Fast forward and rewind buttons now work as expected when playing back MPEG files.
3.Fix. If a cart was flagged as a multi-cut cart and had no available cuts, XPlay would display an error when trying to access the cuts list.
1.Support for playback of CCC v1.4 .DAF files has been added.
2.A problem where the application would occasionally AV on exit has been corrected.
1.Support for playback of 44.1 and 48 kHz PCM (linear files) has been added.
2.A bug where the displayed file type (PCM, MPEG, apt-X) was incorrect when using the Intro and Outro buttons has been corrected.
1.The ability to play back apt-X™ encoded audio files has been added. This feature requires the optional apt-X Encoder software module.
2.XPlay will now build its own inventory information or can use an inventory data file created by a DCS or Maestro unit. Using an inventory data file improves the application start-up time since XPlay does not have to locate and catalogue every audio file on the audio drive.
3.The inventory display has been revised and now includes all available cart information – description, agency tape information, start and end dates. The inventory list can be sorted by column and features a type-ahead search.
4.XPlay registration now requires a machine ID as a part of the process. Users of previous versions will need to have their registration re-issued.
