v2.4 [Feb 25, 2012]
1. Bug Fixes
--an issue where playing files from the CD drive or ejecting a CD caused a crash.
--a kernel panic occurring when hotplugging SL4.
--Improved hot plugging stability for all devices for both Mac and Win (resolving kernal panics with the Sixty-One and Sixty-Two).
--Scratch Live can now install on Windows 8 without the need to disable Windows security settings. (Note: Windows 8 is not currently officially supported by Serato).
--a bug where video files without audio were labelled as corrupt.
--an issue where you couldn't save cue points, loops or autogain values to .mov or .flv files.
--a bug where m4a files displayed 'unsupported file type' message if QuickTime not installed.
--a bug where BPM field was locking up focus when the value was un-changed.
--an issue where the Next Transition (Video) button could be MIDI mapped, but would not save to the MIDI XML.
--an issue where you could get distortion when recording with the Sixty-Two.
--an issue where no audio was being recorded in Mixtape when using the Sixty-Eight.
--a bug with the Serato Video auto crossfader whereby it couldn't reach far left or right when set to a fast speed.
--a bug where the TTM-57 hardware audio effects are on, but Serato Video thinks they're off and thus doesn't apply the associated video effect.
--The fader movements will now be added to shared memory so that Mix Emergency can use them without having to start/stop Serato Video first.
--a bug whereby the TTM-57 phono functionality wouldn't save to preferences. Note that both PGM channels must be set to phono for preference saving to take place.
--bug where the year tag was not being imported from the iTunes xml file.
--bug where doing a 'relocate lost files' on individual files or groups of files by either dragging tracks within SSL, or dragging tracks from finder/explorer, onto the 'relocate lost files' button, would not work.
--potential instability when doing 'relocate lost files' on certain files.
