1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).

I am experiencing an issue that I believe started with one of the v25 updates. 100% reproducible every time (for me).

When starting MC and any "multi-level" Categories view is open (NOT on top level) I am not able to go back to the top level unless I reload that view first.

Example:

A categories view with two levels:
Album Artist
Album

Let's say I dig into the artist Bauhaus so that it shows all their albums.
I close down MC when at the 'Album' level and then re-open MC again so I am back at the 'Album' level of the view.
In the tab it shows 'Artists > Bauhaus Albums'.
Clicking the 'Artists' part in the tab should get me back to top level. But nothing happens when I click there.
I can click deeper into a Categories view (if it has more levels) and then go back to the previous one, but not higher up than the one that was loaded when MC started.

Reloading the view will get me back at top level and then everything will work as normal again.

I'm seeing an issue with MC25 100% of the time.  After starting, I see a notification box titled, "Please Wait..." containing the notice, "Adding required components... Chromium" & having a Cancel button.

The Chromium addition never seems to complete.  The dialog stays on top of all windows.  Pressing the Cancel button does not seem to terminate the component addition.  MC25 exits successfully from the close button/X, but the Adding Chromium dialog remains (Not Responding).

My system is Win10/x64, v1809

Resuming play back of last car radio playlist file/track.

I use car radio playlists and have a massive 9000 entry main car radio list I like to whiz up and down using the mouse kinetic scrolling.

I've noticed with these last couple of builds that when I open fresh JRiver and just press play that its no longer auto scrolling down to the last played track as it starts playing. It just remains at the top of the list for me.

Tried uninstalling and resetting settings in case its something introduced on my system (which it still might be).  Still occurs.

Hey folks -- for HDCD decoding, should there be some visual indicator of it working?  I have some HDCD FLAC rips and set the flag -- they happen to sound great by virtue of their mastering but is there an indicator that HDCD is being decoded?  I'm fine with blind faith if that's the case. 

[Awesome Donkey]

Look at audio path (located to the right of the repeat and shuffle buttons), it should indicate it's working or not.

Two bugs I am experiencing (64 bit version) related to ripping CDs. 1) Success in ripping the first CD. Put in another CD and the title is not found from the DB. MC keeps the title of the prior disc. I have to exit MC, restart, and click on update for online db to get the new title. Had this happen several times yesterday and today. Was not ripping CDs last week, so do not know when it starts. 2) Having difficulty with selecting tracks to rip off of a CD. Clicking on details does not seem to work. Strange in that I clicked around, trying different things and finally the check boxes showed up. I've been unsuccessful since then at getting the check boxes to appear for the tracks.

hi,

something interesting is happening with the skin.
normaly it looks like attachment 1.
but sometimes it looks attachment 2.
it took me a while, but i can reproduce it now by clicking on camera in the action window and leave that open (as in attachment 3) while closing mc, but not the media server (which is on the same machine).

Hi,

I love the Media Center. I use it many hours every day. I do have a problem that I noticed right after I upgraded to 25. I tried playing one of my "beast| tracks/ Specifically The Doors Live In New York January 17, 1970. First Show (R1 523104) Peace Frog. It's an 11289 2Channel, that I downconvert to 5.1 192 to play through my Auzentech using Asio 24 bit with 80 buffering and maxing out all the other elements in regard to playing directly. These are the settings I use with V. 24 and it sounds "glorius" Unfortunately MC 25 stutters stops, buffers and generally vomits. Ideas? I got lots of big fat DSF's (or as I like to term them, the peruvian flake of formats)
