Bug: Let MC connect to a remote media server. Quit MC by pressing the "X" button on the main window while the "Downloading" dialog is in the "Connecting..." state. You will get a dialog saying that a package could not be installed and that "more info: Failed to unzip file ...".
Bug: When audio analysis is running, the rest of Media Center refuses to accept keyboard input. I can't search for anything while audio analysis is running, for example, because I can't type anything into the search field. I can't use keyboard shortcuts like ctrl-S or ctrl-P. This is only when the audio analyzer is actually running. If I stop it but leave the analysis window open everything works like it should. This is very annoying.
Performance: Scrolling is much slower using the PixOS theme compared to running without themes. If I tried to scroll an entire page down, the contents of the playlist was blitted/copied step by step upwards but no new information was filled in until all the old information was gone, leaving only a few pixels from lines that were not completely cleared when the old information moved up. Then the new lines in the playlist were finally filled in. This behaviour is very annoying, but now that I disabled skins, new information is filled in incrementally when I scroll just like I would expect it to do. (It's a bit hard to explain this but I hope you'll understand what I mean.)
Cosmetics: If I set the system to use large fonts, then the left-hand column of icons and text in the options dialog is too narrow to display all the text, and the space between icons is not tall enough. I get "File ssociation" and "File Naming &", for example. This should probably be fixed before the release since it looks quite unpolished.
Cosmetics: I'm running MediaCenter with the PixOS skin. If I bring up the Audio Analysis tool, its window is skinned. If I shrink it, I get a plain Windows 2000 "collapsed" window title bar (even if I run it under XP). That it isn't skinned is not a major problem, but if I click somewhere close to the minimize/close buttons the skinned orange/red minimize/close buttons suddenly turn up. Not a major bug, but it does make a bad impression:
Cosmetics: Options / General. The items in Behavior overflow the subpanel so that "Start playing when files..." overwrites the bottom border of the panel. PixOS theme, using large fonts.
Request: There should be a way to analyze audio without setting the BPM field, since the BPM calculator often does not give the right answer. If I have music where I have already calculated BPM using another program, and I want to analyze replay gain, I have to create a new field, copy the old BPM values there, run audio analysis, and then copy the old correct values back into the BPM field.
