Problem with (Default ) [Core Audio] and Bluetooth [Core Audio]
Dorjee:
Bose Sound Link II - Bluetooth
Macbook Pro 6,2 15" Mid 2010 - 8 GB Ram
OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
Media Center 21.0.8
Settings> Audio > Audio Device
Note: All my other apps are working flawlessly with the Bose Sound Link II, Itunes, VLC, Chrome, etc...
Except: JRiver Media Center 21
This is the first time I have used Media Center for videos on the Mac side usually always use windows but got a dual License on the pre upgrade. I have not used Media Center 20 yet for mac as it didn't support videos when it first came out.
My first question:
Is my Mac Media Center 21 license key backward compatible for the Mac Media Center 20?
At least till the bugs get worked out. The current problem makes MC 21 pretty unusable atm with my BlueTooth sound devices
====================
My Problem.
Problem with (Default ) [Core Audio] and Bluetooth [Core Audio]
* 1) (Default ) [Core Audio] Selected
* A) Blue Tooth off. All videos play sound through the laptop on board speakers.
* B) Bluetooth on. Videos that are working with Blue Tooth are heard through the Blue tooth speakers. The Videos that do not work with Bluetooth can not be heard on BT speakers or Laptop on board speakers.
* 2) Bluetooth [Core Audio] Selected
* A) Bluetooth on. Videos that are working with Blue Tooth are heard through the Blue tooth speakers. The Videos that do not work with Bluetooth can not be heard on BT speakers or Laptop on board speakers.
* B) Bluetooth off switches back to (Default ) [Core Audio]
* 3) Built-in Output [Core Audio]
* A) Bluetooth on. All videos play off the Laptop on-board speakers.
* B) Bluetooth off. All videos play off the Laptop on-board speakers.
The problems doesn't have to do with a specific codec as far as i can see. There are files with the exact same codec that work as with some that don't work with the blue tooth.
Majority of the files don't work with the blue tooth I would say about 80%

Let me know if you need additional information.
Also am I able to use my MC 21 license key with the MC 20 until this gets fixed.
Thanks,
By the way not sure what i would do with out JRiver. I am sure most people use it primarily for music but there is nothing else out there that has made watching a large library of movies easier. Much appreciated.

I don't have very many answers, but...
You might take a look at the videos that don't play correctly on bluetooth and see if there's anything in common. File type, compression type, etc. Look at Player > Display Options > Steams . That will show you the type(s) of video and audio that are in the file. Lots of mine have more than one audio stream; yours might too. I'm not sure if this will help, but more information about what you're playing can't hurt. :)
Regarding your MC21 license and MC20: Yes, the latest builds of MC20 for Mac work with an MC21 license. You can find the latest build at the top of the MC20 forum. I believe it is 20.0.132 .

JimH:
I'm not aware of any similar problem in MC21 relative to MC20, but an MC21 license should work with the latest version of MC20.
If some videos work with Bluetooth and others don't, it could be related to the format of the video or the type of audio. Try to narrow that down if you can.
Dorjee:
All I got from you folks was some kind of .mjr file which wont work on the MC20 it did work on the MC21.
I never received my registration codes for my master license PC or Mac for MC21.
I had to use the email approach which gave me MC20 License for PC.
I sent back a reply on the email you sent me for the MC21 release hope someone gets it to send me my registration codes.
----------------------
I'll take a look at narrowing it down as far as similarities. And try and compile a list.
But as I stated there are videos with the exact same coding (codec) that work and don't work, only differences would probably be bitrate screen ratio and file size.

BTW after many years of using MC this is the first time I have even had an issue hehe.
