More > JRiver Media Center 18 for Windows
The media types of the selected files are not supported for playback. (<none>)
frenchbassguy:
I woke my computer up from sleep and now MC doesn't recognize any file types. I did the troubleshooting in the audio setup wiki. The files play with other media players from Explorer just fine. I've searched and no one has posted a solution to this. Please help! :-[
Arindelle:
sorry but I'm not sure what you mean. I'm reading that you do have files imported into a JRiver library and you could read them but now you can't after your PC went to sleep?? or do you mean they will not read by default from explorer?? If it is the latter check in Options File types and see if the file extensions you want to play are set correctly to your liking. Why the PC going to sleep would change your set-up though is pretty strange.
You could restore your most recent library backup if it is the former File=>Library=>Restore
frenchbassguy:
File associations are ok. It must have something to do with iTunes. It derped and deselected the library. That must have given MC a stroke. I opened a new library and was able to successfully reimport the music and it plays fine. A library restore didn't change anything either :( I know it's a weird phenomenon. I have a screenshot attached.
If I have to do a new library, how can a get the same functionality that iTunes has with automatically copying, organizing, and labeling music I add to MC?
Arindelle:
ah ha you didn't mention that. I thought you had a sleep problem ... this is an itunes problem
Most people want to avoid automatically copying/organizing stuff like iTunes notoriously does (IMHO very badly, especially automatic tagging ).
If you have to or still want to use itunes (like for syncing portable devices), I'd suggest getting your main music collection out of the itunes library area. (your screen shot indicates that it is in an itunes directory. Make sure it is not auto organizing anything. Then nuke and rebuild the itunes library. If you are still ripping via itunes, I'd stop right away personally.
If you are using JRiver as your frontend and renderer, you really want its library to be your main one. I'd move your music into a root directory like x:\Music\Album Artist\Album\ ... which will work for basically any player.
As for auto copying etc. there are a lot of ways to do things automatically or semi-automatically through JRiver. Maybe if you indicate what you want it to do.
just my 2 cents of course ... as you can see I'm not a fan of itunes
frenchbassguy:
I just decided to create a new library :-\ I exported my playlists and reimported the music successfully. I also disabled iTunes from keeping the folders organized itself. I hope that will prevent this from happening again.
Is there a way to have MC copy files when importing, like iTunes does? In other words, I import a folder, and it makes a new folder in it's own library folder and copies the songs to that, instead of just referencing them being on my desktop where I downloaded them to. That's the ONLY reason I'm using iTunes anymore. Previously I would manage the folders manually, which was actually driving me insane.
Thanks for your time btw :)
