Hello,
Appreciate any and all help: upgraded from MC28 to MC29 because, well, JRiver is great and CloudPlay is awesome. In fact, listening to CloudPlay Jazz while writing this but... still on MC28.
Followed (I think) all the instructions about upgrading. I have only used Windows 64-bit, so no Linux or Mac here. Installing appeared to go well. Started MediaCenter, restored my license, and entered MC with fingers crossed that settings and library would migrate over seamlessly. Instead, got a pop-up error: Window Title: "We couldn't create the data directory. Contents: "Microsoft Edge can't read and write to its data directory: C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 29\Web\EdgeUserDat\EBWeb\View." It only offered an "Okay" button. Hit 'Okay'. Got into MC29 interface... but it didn't import, update, or otherwise migrate my MC28 library or settings.
I don't use Edge, want nothing to do with it, and am not sure why this is related to JRiver. However, I also know that Microsoft shoves Edge down everyone's throat. (How often do we need to reset PDF files to NOT use Edge? Like once a month.) So I would not be surprised if this is a Microsoft thing, not a JRiver thing.
I quit JRiver and did the next most logical thing: I restarted my computer. After a restart, and a fresh glass of a great wine, I started MC29 again and received no pop-up Edge errors. However, nothing was migrated over, so I feel like a manual transition is necessary. That's cool, I can do that, I was just hoping to avoid it. (I then started MC28 to listen to music while appealing for help - still working well.) But for my general knowledge, *is* there a way to easily migrate my library and/or settings over to MC29 from MC28? Was the Edge error related? Other posts here in the Interact Forum give the impression that MC29 will find and move over libraries and settings. Did I do something wrong? Did Edge interfere in some way, because, well, Microsoft?
For the record, hats off to the JRiver team for MC28 and Cloudplay. Discovered it recently and plan to use it (and contribute) much more in the future. Frankly, it's awesome.
Thanks for any ideas.
