Another that would be an excellent shortcut is to be able to go
Tools>Library Tools>Find & Replace
in the same way, or via an F key (are there any available?).

It would also be great if there was a drop-down that held a cache of perhaps 6 previous entries in "Find what:" and "Replace".
Furthermore could this cache of 6 be included in the F&R section of Move, Rename & Copy (F6 function)? (just the previous cache used in F6 - not the same as the first cache I mentioned)

Done

3. I would like some customization of the sox filter.

Only the standalone SoX resampler is used, so there's nothing to customize there.

[Dawgincontrol]

Would like to be able to "right click" the currently playing file in the top display information area in standard view and get the same choices as when I "right click" the file in the "Playing Now" standard view list at the bottom of the display.

When on another page from "Playing Now" this would let me add to playlists, look up lyrics, etc. and bring up my "Last Five" list.

There's a reason why I still use external viewers/players for graphics/photos/comic books/home videos/movies... etc. With music, JRiver is almost perfect.

This may be very, very hard to believe, but JRiver does not yet have proper color management. Wide Gamut monitors are a thing, and they are becoming ever more common with the rise of UHD 4k content -- DCI-P3, BT.2020...

Firefox has it (if manually enabled). Chrome has it... MPC-HC/Media Player Classic has it... my 3rd-party file explorer and thumbnail/photo/album cover manager has it. My PDF readers have it. Almost every other photo editing and viewing suite has it. Watching streaming videos in chrome for example, has it automatically enabled. You would think that discerning enthusiasts into music, photos, and videos (i.e. high quality media) would be all into calibration of their A/V equipment and all... yet all ye albums thumbnails/artwork/and personal photos too look way over saturated if you just happen to use an expensive wide gamut monitor (mine's already six years old, I believe -- so it's not even as "wide" as some newer ones out now).

Actually, there is some form of management when using the Red October HQ video mode (which isn't even the default), with the application of an external 3DLUT etc. But this isn't exactly easy to implement, or always possible.

Attached is an example of the IrfanView software providing color management options.

*If your display device is highly configurable or HW "calibratable" like some NEC and Eizo monitors, you can create presets to artificially limit your entire system's displayable colors to basic sRGB. But this is annoying to have to do/switch several times in the course of a day just to be able to look at your images and videos with the correct colors. One should not have to do this manual switching in a properly color managed software e.g. chrome browser or IrfanView.

Would be possible for a user made OSD control?

The idea would be a xml file that could have a first input for text string to be displayed and the second input would be anything from this list:
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Media_Center_Core_Commands

------------------------------

And second request

The ability to download subtitles on the fly during movie playback.
I know it's already possible to previewsly download subtitles for movies or tv shows when building your database with JRiver.
But it's not uncommon for subtitles to have the wrong timing or have other problems.

It would be great a possibility to try different subtitles during movie playback from different engines.
Addic7ed is fantastic for tv shows.
OpenSubtitles is great for movies.

Introduce a TV Guide preset in: Options > Theater View > Items to Show > Add.

Because when it's deleted, the only way to find it again is to nuke one's whole Theater View, which feels really backwards...

Adding support for adding URL of video streams.

When I add a working & open IPTV stream provided by my ISP in JRiver with File > Open URL > example: "http://192.168.0.254:52424/freeboxtv/mafreebox.freebox.fr/fbxtv_pub/stream?namespace=1&service=201" (the URL of one IPTV channel that works in VLC), I get the "There is Nothing to play" message, very much like what happened with Radio streams until it was fixed.

This particular feature of accessing ISP-served IPTV from all kinds of devices at home is widely used among French users whose ISP is "Free", FYI. It'd be great to be able to nicely integrate it into JRiver.

Can this be done? I know I used to be able to do that in the past, but it does not seem to work anymore!

[Antoine.]

I don't like the fact that podcasts have been integrated into the Streaming section. It doesn't belong there and should have its own section again!

[mjn77]

You shouldn't need to close and reopen MC26 for it to update it's library contents from the server.  The MC26 server should tell it's clients, "hey, my library has been updated, here, have a new copy."

żIs is possible do a timeline with thumbnails for video-files? like in the website xvideos? 
When you put the mouse over the timeline it show a thumbnail of the video-frame.
When you move the mouse over the timeline the thumbnail shows quickly.

I would like very much have this function in JRiver!!!!

Is any way to see the info in expression tooltip as a list and instead as string. To achieve this is to have mulltiple fields and using listitem() but this is not helpful. A way to see in expression the tag info as list it will be a better way. Any thoughts?! Maybe as a feature implementation...

Done

[Matt]

Dear sir, Please add scheduling backup feature to back up Library automatically~ Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion.

Coming next build:
NEW: Added a library backup task to the Task Scheduler (backup just uses the default backup location).

[Matt]

Adding "Fill Track numbers from List order" to the Customise Toolbar options is excellent.

Another that would be an excellent shortcut is to be able to go
Tools>Library Tools>Find & Replace
in the same way, or via an F key (are there any available?).

Good idea.

Coming next build:
NEW: Ctrl+Alt+F opens the find and replace window.

[Matt]

It would also be great if there was a drop-down that held a cache of perhaps 6 previous entries in "Find what:" and "Replace".
Furthermore could this cache of 6 be included in the F&R section of Move, Rename & Copy (F6 function)? (just the previous cache used in F6 - not the same as the first cache I mentioned)

Good idea!

Next build:
NEW: The find and replace tool uses comboboxes for the find and replace values that list the last eight choices entered.

I agree with you.

Thanks

1) I applaud the new Stop After choices. Could Stop After also include a stop after "x" number of songs. Stopping at time intervals doesn't provide a clean stopping point for playback.

I liked this one.  Next build:
NEW: Added commands to stop after a number of tracks to the stop menu (also added MCC_STOP_AFTER_TRACKS (10068)).

[DJLegba]

I use "Stop after Current File" a lot. Could it be moved from "More Stop" back up a level onto the main Player menu?

[wagenveld]

Make the Import Summary window go away after a few minutes.  Preferably logged somewhere.

Can I upvote this. Still use the MCC command to kick auto import and it generates a screen full of messages I don't care about. Plus it steals focus from other apps.

Edit: Never mind, forgot the ",1" in my scheduled task!

[EnglishTiger]

I would love to see 2 New/Additional Options added to "Fill Track numbers from List order" functionality

1st - For those of us with Multi-CD Albums can we please have the ability to "Restart at 1 on a change of Disc#" - Done
2nd - For those of us who have a number of Albums with the same "Album Name" but are by different Album Artists (i.e. Greatest Hits Albums) can we please have an option that "Restarts at 1 on a change of Album Artist" - Done

[Antoine.]

Is it possible to add an "Extra" media sub-type category? For DVD & Blu-ray extras.

Also about podcasts, is it possible to add the following rule: Keep all unread podcasts and/or delete all read podcasts

[Antoine.]

Aren't you satisfied with the existing hotkey Ctrl+Shift+S?

[Antoine.]

Make the USERS feature useful for restricting access!

When I install JRiver on a client with the intended use of only allowing a restricted user, DO NOT set the administrator's as the default user (which it is right now).

To circumvent any limitations imposed upon a user with restricted access right now, all you have to do is to reboot the client and it will log in as administrator (without password prompt) if the administrator is logged in at the server level (which it always is).

[DJLegba]

I would be if I could remember it. I used to prefer keyboard shortcuts, but then I got old.

Nobody in the dev team seems to be interested in developping this feature, despite the amount of requests.

YouTube.com/tv + Chromium (tricking YouTube into thinking that it's a TV, not a browser, since youtube.com/tv is no longer accessible from a browser) should provide a good entry point to integrate it into Theater View, but alas...

YouTube TV and YouTube.com/TV are very different things. One is a paid live-tv subscription service, the other is a discontinued TV-style interface to normal youtube.

For the first, paid streaming services are generally protected and not very open to applications playing them without very strict DRM requirements.

For the second, that interface was discontinued, as in, no longer exists.
Its not that you can "trick" YouTube into giving you that interface back. They litereally killed it. Apps on TVs or STBs don't use it, they implement their own without a website in the background.

[d8lock]

I was referring to the paid TV service.  Right now I'm stuck using a web browser.

The only reason I am looking to use this, is because I want to build a 512 DSD library. I know back in the 2000 the trend was to build in everything under the sun, but the world moved away from that ages ago. I don't decide what you should put in or out of your software, but please let me customize it:
- let me pick what category/subcategory to put in the start instead of that start webpage
- let me hide the categories I am not interested in. Even in Audio view I got stuff like streaming, cloud play or drivers that I want to hide.
- I understand why this is now build as a browser, but let me use it if I have to deal with it. Let me put my DSD store in, so I can search stuff in the store, buy, download, and have the file in the file browser ready to play.
- integrate real streaming services like apple play, spotify or google play (I use google play)

It's not possible to allow complete customization. 

[vulture_g7]

No idea if there's a more elegant way to this, but here's an idea. Most of the times I've my music server turned on and playing music and it's in another room. So, sometimes, a track comes up and I'm not sure which one it is. So, I open the panel page and check what it is. I believe a more convenient way would be if the there was some very basic RSS service giving info of the track played as well as what's the next track (if there is one).

[JimH]

That doesn't sound less complicated than running Panel.

Our web service might work.  On the Devzone.

Try this on a server running MC:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/doc

[Striker]

Please have the Windows Explorer shell integration "import" honor the Tools->Import->Import-Single-Folder filtering options.

Currently importing using the shell integration "import" imports all files found, and I only want it to import audio files, not jpg files.

Thanks.

When you added this

Code: [Select]

6. Changed: List type fields show the auto-complete tooltip as a list on separate lines instead of a big string together with semi-colons.I was reffer to the behaviour of expression in the tag window. Because there if you add an expression is just as long string and not behave like this new addition. Maybe you can add also this to the expression view.

[vulture_g7]

Well, if you have an rss client like snackr, for example, running, it's there all the time scrolling news, so no need to click anything while you work, hence my suggestion. I'll check out the devzone, thx.

List Style: Tiles would be much more used by me if they could be customized like tooltips. Now they are using harcoded fields that I may or may not be interested in

So request for the customization of the Tiles

Hi, I'd love it if my precious Playlists were able to be saved in some kind JRiver cloud online automatically and restored automatically the same way Apple and Google do with a fresh install.

[centai]

If JRiver gets updated, the theme in theatre view gets lost. After the update I have to restore the theme manually from a ZIP file. It would be great if JRiver would keep custom themes when updating.

Try searching here for Custom Resources.  If you put custom work there, it won't be overwritten.

Or name it differently.

It's probably not done on the off chance a skin/visualization isn't compatible with a newer MC version.

Hi All, I can't say how much I love Media Center. And all the support you give. I knew the YouTube deal was on their end, but waited for a fix from JRiver and today I got an update that fixed it .. Thanks!. On to my request.

In Theater Mode, we have a view that shows just one movie after being selected from the main list. It has the cover, lots of info about the file I custom added under the name, then the description.
After that is the Director, and then Actors.
If we open a movie and see the director is "X", we can arrow or select the directors name, and Media Center sorts all my movies and shows a display of all of them with that director. That is excellent. But I want it to do it for Actors too. I want to see "Bob" is an Actor in the selected movie, and then select his name and have Media Center show me all the movies with "Bob" in them like it does for Directors. The field for Actors contains ALL the actors in a Movie, not just one, or an entry for each, so you cannot choose one. If you choose all you need to be very lucky to have anything show up. How can I see the Actors of a particular Movie being displayed (in Theater Mode) in a list that is pickable one by one, not just the whole list?
Sorry if this was asked for before, I didn't see it, but it is hard to describe. Let me know if I didn't describe it well enough.
Thanks for listening.

Don

Forbigd  I think this is what you're requesting https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=121770.0 It sounded like the MC team was onboard with making this a reality but then they stopped responding to the thread.  This would be a great new feature that would add a lot of functionality.

[Matt]

1. This feature I found in trackstore and it is sooo useful:
right-click a track gives you the option "search for playlists" which then gives a pop up with a list of all the playlists containing this track. Then you can click one of those.

Coming next build:
NEW: Added a Search For Playlists command to the right-click that opens up an Action Window page displaying a file's playlists.
