2. Changed: The option to "Move all non-imported files in folder with selected media files" only runs if the file is imported (so it won't engage on files from the Explorer view, etc.).

The "STOP" command works from keyboard (CTRL+s), but does not work from Harmony remote for a button that sends CTRL+s.
This does work in MC25.

[elderavelas]

Automatic shuffling now only works on Files and Panes views. In MC25 it worked with all views. When selecting a view and then hitting the play button should create a shuffled playing now list with all content in the view if Shuffle Automatic option is selected.

MC 26.0.14 seems to lock on a file once played and prevents any further processing of that file. Case in point: I play Max Roach in Vancouver - Cherokee. The file finishes playing or I terminate the playback (either one). I now want to move the file within MC using Library Tools>Rename, Move & Copy and I get an error message that the file is in use by MC. I terminate MC either from the drop down menu File>Exit or simply by clicking on the upper right hand corner, the rebooting. I still get the file in use message. Ditto, when I terminate using Task Manager. Nothing short of a reboot seems to clear it.

I encountered the same issue in 25, just didn't report it at the time.

Pause might do that.  Stop shouldn't.

The WDM driver is being installed as version 25 and not 26.

[JimH]

The name doesn't change.  It's still part of MC26.

[stewart_pk]

The name doesn't change.  It's still part of MC26.

Do you mean the name of the sound device in Windows didn't change from JRiver Media Center 25 to JRiver Media Center 26?
If so yes I agree, it didn't.
If it was given a more generic name like just JRiver Media Center it would stop confusion and end-users wasting their time thinking that something is wrong and trying to fix it.
Not to mention spending more time on a support forum.

MC 26.0.14

This appears to be something new in the last couple point releases.

It used to be when I selected an album(s), and went to the Rename, Move & Copy function, the preview window would show all of the files for the selected album(s) and I could perform the operation.  Now when I do the same, the operation preview list is blank and the running the operation has no effect- now I must select the the individual tracks within the album(s), invoke the Rename, Move & Copy function- then the preview list appears as expected and the operation works.

Seems like a bug
