Not all my Thumbnail texts are migrated with MC 30!
I had a composer view with Thumbnail text [Composer]. After the migration they are all gone also in MC 29! and even If I add the text again the thumbnail text is not shown.

Logic of the JRVR Presets is a little bit strange. I select a preset, press the LoadPreset Button and then press OK. Why not simple select a preset and then press OK, why also apply. Also if I open the dialog for a second time every time the window shows the performance preset as selected and not the one selected with the last OK or apply.

[MikeO]

Installed 30 was a bit slow "upgrading from older version"

Tried to sign into YouTube , entered email address (correctly) it tells me the Browser is not secure and to use another browser !! BUT it played the video I selected

[iankelsall25]

the 'performance preset keeps resetting to the default 'performance preset'. every time i select the 'balanced' option, click apply and then ok, if i immediately go back to the quality preset options, it has defaulted back to the first option. what is the point of having the choice if it won't stay with your selection?

Hi,

A very minor point: The upgrade installation did not carry over the configuration for VST plugin that I have in DSP Studio. Not a big issue, easily fixed in about a minute.

Its a preset, not a setting in itself. You load a preset and it changes all other settings to match the preset, but still lets you customize any settings as you like without forcing anything, which is what a performance "setting" would do.
When you load a preset, it also overrides all your settings, hence the confirmation box.

Hi there,

i have a problem with JRVR. I am still using MC 27 ,tried MC29 and now MC30.

when i try to play a HEVC HDR mkv video file i have no sound with JRVR. to solve the issue i need to change the audiotrack from Dolby Atmos to DD and then i have sound. I can switch  back to Atmos and also have sound.

this does not happen so far with SDR content.

When i use red october madvr for HDR content this does not happen . i always have sound . Audio is set to HDMI Bitstream.

any idea? 

I have an Denon AVR 2700H connected to Panasonic OLED JZ1500 and a Nvidia RTX3060TI

If you can provide a sample of one of these files, I can test it (using MC29 JRVR bitstream hdmi through AVRX3500H).

When I play that file through my system, I get audio and the AVR lights up with Atmos (bitstream) but it's having severe audio drop outs. Even when I switch to the other audio stream I get some audio drop outs but not as bad as the primary/default audio stream.

I have several Atmos "sample videos", and do not have any drop outs at all. In fact this is the first time I have ever played something on my system that sounds this bad. To me, it seems like a problem with the encoding/ripping of this file, but others can chime in with opinions.

Thanks for testing. Anyway i watched the whole video and had not a single audio dropout with madvr and JRVR.
Just have to switch the Audio stream .this Happens only with HDR Content.

But its not a problem at all for me .i am fine with madvr and everything else works perfect for me in MC30. MC is really amazing.

I get a prompt that reads "Your license file is not valid for Media Center  Do You want to purchase an upgrade"

You may need to install 30.0.15.

The "Cover Art" on my TV Shows didn't come across.  In most cases (not all) I see the first frame of the show again.    I used Get Cover Art to do this.

It didn't work with 28 to 29 either.

[Deiter]

My update wizard takes a very long time to update and eventually hangs. I have a ver 30 master license.

What update Wizard?  MC?

[SkGe]

After updating to the new version, this happens. It seems every setting is the same as of version 29, but on version 30 something is not right. The tooltip, it should be the same. I found other issues in some playlist. Where I have 2 lines showing in 29 is alright but on 30 is not.
