Moving to MC29 from an Older Version

<< < (3/9) > >>

Axilian:
Same issue here - no automatic configuration transfer
Didn't even select the correct output and defaulted to direct sound (which sounds rubbish )

Just as well I never uninstall the previous version as had to transfer all settings manually

Also just noticed I was playing a sacd image via bitstream  and found that the playback   zone on 29 is set to 'remote' rather than 'player' which 28  plays under ( easy to switch but a pain)

EdBrady:
I've upgraded MC many times, and the new version never has picked up the old version's settings. I don't know why; it just works that way. It will usually pick up my list of libraries, but that's it.

To resolve this, I run the old version one last time (prior to upgrading, if I remember), back up all my libraries, and turn off media server. I then run the new version, create libraries as needed, then restore them from the backups. With the first (main) library, I tell MC to restore my program settings.

Then there's one last step. Go into settings, and correct the default library backup path, which will point to the old version's folder.

That's it. I don't know why it has to be this way, but it is.

JimH:
Settings normally transfer. Anything non-standard about your library?

I am curious to see if will work for me - pretty much every upgrade that I have ever done has always had some sort of problem with the thumbnail cache.

I remain optimistic but will be backing up and prepping my thumbnail cache just the same.

Cheers!

What do you mean by "non standard library"?
I'm migrating from version 28.
