Hello All,
Forgive me for bringing up something that "sort-of" has been discussed before and alot, but mine is different..."sort-of"
I have no problem with any part of playing back any media files, All works perfectly, and has for years (thanks JRiver team!). Music jukebox, TV and Movie player, it does it all. Now that you are properly buttered up, here is my problem.
We love MC for our pool night music. We play both audio and video tracks. No problem there.
But now with streaming services we are kind of being drawn towards sites like YouTubeMusic, because of the large collection (especially older music videos (and new). But we want to keep using MC. We all know it, I am pretty good at configuratin' and can whip up a view or whatever pretty fast. The option seems to be available to open a page inside of MC that shows youtube, and you can pick a track and then choose to play it in the player or, even download it. That is what we really want to do, download the ones we don't have but really want and add them to our collection and continue to have MC be the only player.
I have my Internet Engine set to IE, and click youtube and the page appears, I click a video and the box pops up, I say "grab it" (the proper download folder is already chosen in File Locations). It starts to play the video, but nothing downloads to the folder. Checking details it says it "Failed" no reason given that I know how to see.
On to Chrome. I set Chrome as the internet browser, click youtube and the dreaded adding components, Chromium box appears. It will stay there forever if I let it. Nothing ever happens. I do have a bandwidth monitor and it show a very short but big download, like 150mb for 1-2 seconds. But the box doesn't go away. If I click cancel MC is locked up. Sometimes I can click the X and get MC to close, but the Adding components window won't go away without crashing it by clicking on it repeatedly. The window doesn't even show in Task Mangler. I have to abuse it to make it give up and ask if I want to close it the hard way. Several machines (testing) do the same thing. Won't download using IE, lock up adding if Chrome is chosen.
I read the other posts with problems and went to the post that has recommendations about firewall.
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,113947.0.htmlI let it through, i removed it and rediscovered it in the firewall, I shut the firewall off. No go. I even put on Comcasts Norton product and defeated the windows firewall, still no go.
What is it trying to do when adding components? I see the data come down, but nothing happens. Any chance Chrome can be part of the build...I just reread that of course not. it isn't yours, you have to go get it after install.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Don
