More > JRiver Media Center 31 for Mac

There is no menu bar, so I cannot make any changes

(1/6) > >>

S. Pupp:
JRiver opens in Theater View, as intended.  When I exit theater view and go to standard view, there is no menu bar.  If I click on the desktop, the Finder menu bar appears, as expected.  If I then click on JRiver, the Media Center 31 menu bar appears, but then immediately slides upward, exiting the screen.  I cannot change any settings as a result.

I tried deleting and reinstalling JRiver MC31, with no luck.

I am using a Mac Mini M1 running OSX Sonoma.  I am using MediaCenter310083.

Any help that could be given would be greatly appreciated.

bob:
In MC's settings (Apple Command Key - O)
You can do a search for
reset window
And you will see an option
Reset window position settings
Choose that and restart MC. You should be good to go.

S. Pupp:
Resetting window positions did not work for me, but being able to access the settings using Command-O was very helpful.  I've been able to determine what triggers the vanishing menu bar in my case:  Exiting from Theater View to Standard View.

I used the "Command-O" as mentioned above to access the settings.  I changed the setting "Startup>Startup Interface>Mode" from Theater View to Standard View, and exited Media Center.  Upon startup in Standard View, the menu bar was present and usable.  After switching to Theater View and then exiting back to Standard View, the menu bar did its sliding-out-of-view act again.

Because I previously had Media Center set to start up in Theater View, I'd never had a usable menu bar.

I realize that version 31 is no longer being developed, but maybe this information could be helpful for version 32, if v32 has this issue.

bob:
I can't get that to happen in MC32. Perhaps it was a side effect of another fix.
What version of MacOS are you running and how many active monitors?

S. Pupp:
I'm running MacOS Sonoma 14.3.1.
I have one monitor.
I tried Media Center 32 today, and am getting the same result.

I have attached an mp4 of the event occurring on my Mac Mini.
 - Open Media Center - menu bar is present and working.
 - Change to Theater View - menu bar turns black and fades from view, as expected, for full window viewing.
 - Exit Theater View - returns to standard view, but menu bar is missing.
 - Clicking on the background where the menu bar should be brings up the Finder's menu bar.
 - After clicking Media Center, the Media Center menu bar appears, but rather than staying put, it immediately fades from view.

It is as though the menu bar behavior from entering Theater View, where it appropriately hides itself from view, continues inappropriately after changing back from Theater View to standard view.

Is there any further system/software information from my Mac Mini that I can provide you with that might explain why this problem is not happening for you?
