Back on 8/8 I asked if MC27 would continue to have 32 builds and Matt said yes there would be 32 bit builds.

I cannot use 64 bit builds as the "Playing Now" add-on is critical to my system.

I use it to provide a "trigger" (calling a script) on track stop/start/change along with a file I can read with the current and next track information.

Will there be 32 bit builds for MediaCenter 27 ?

When installing over the  26.0.106 build, DSP Studio in 27.0.10 doesn't transfer my old Metaplugin.dll (VST2) installation. And does nothing when I try to reload the *.dll again.

 It just doesn't show up. This was on my dev machine, staying with the latest 26.0.106 build on my main MC machine. 

edited: Just found out that the metaplugin.dll doesn't work on 26.0.107 also... (32 or 64 bit, doesn't matter...)

It looks like there's an issue with VST 2 plugins in this build.

Yeah, but it seems the bug was introduced in 26.0.107 already, see my (updated) first post regarding the bug above...

I'm having trouble loading the VST Perfect Declipper (http://perfectdeclipper.com/) in this new version. I am able to load it in Version 26, although based on some comments, I think this would be of the type that other people reported aren't working. Just want to confirm some other people's experience

VST2 is broken in this build.  Should be fixed early next week.

[agzorig]

Right-clicking on an empty car radio/preset button causes MC 27 to crash.

32 bit download added above.

Is the MC  27 for Mac ready?

I've found that version 3.4.3 of Metaplugin64 works in MC 26.0.106. I tried a new newer version of Metaplugin64 and had problems.

As I wrote in my first post (see above) concerning this issue: Confirmed. 26.06.106 is the last version metaplugin works. According to Jim this will be fixed soon.
