1) Are you using a portable database?
2) Was your existing database in the stock location or somewhere else?
Hello:
Glad to hear from you.
I am not using a portable database.
On about February 18th, I migrated from MC 31 to MC 32. All the 40 or so folders were in place in the MC32.
I begin to notice import folders vanishing, folders that are already keyed to be watched for new mkvs are no more there. If these folders are no more there, new files will not be imported. I have to manually run the import jog again.
Speaking of MC 32.. I noticed lots of issues.
With MC 31 my main issue in that version was black bar detect not working. I never got it to work regardless of my settings.I think memory allotted to MC has a lot to do. The OS does engage in background processing.
MC itself also does lots of background processing. Example tools and black bar stuff.
During this processing, memory is been use.
Watching 4k mkvs with MO4media from the Sony Bravia buffers a lot, then I will come downstairs to find tools running, or black bar stuff running. In most cases, the black bar gets frozen at 3 out 100, or 2 out 50.
I have to quit the desktop by logging out and logging in again, then reload MC 32.
I did not have this issue with MC 31.
I am also having issues with pasting cover art. It should be easy to paste, this time, I get image not on clip board, I have to save image, then reload image again. You solved this issue 4 years ago.
In my opinion, when MC installs, in a given system, it should detect available memory, then grab memory, based on the amount of memory in use .
For me, I have 128 gig of memory and RTX 2080 TI. My Linux server should not experience any slow down, if proper memory aggregation is utilized.
About the vanishing of folders.
I had gone to load MC 31, after contacting you, 40 folders that were programmed in the import path are still intact. Nothing is lost. For testing purpose, I added two additional folders with no problem.
Coming back to MC 32, it is exact opposite.
About Black bar detecting:
Since I had no luck with it on MC 31, early days of MC 32, no luck, so I tried to disable it.
It still will come on locking up, not finishing, thus affecting 4K movie playback over the network.
I found some info regarding black.
I tried to create "Crop 4K, and Crop 2K" fields in MC, but I was unable to edit the fields with new info.
Anyway to make these fields editable, and use able system wide, any way to add this feature ?
Below is the info:
!080P : 0x22x1920x1058
4K: 0x42x3840x2118
Of recent: I ripped Aliens,Aquaman2, Color purple 2023, True lies the Abyss, and Roaming Twenties.
Aliens crop info : 0x44x3840x2116
Aquaman2 crop info: 0x0x3840x2160
Color Purple 2023 crop: 0x42x3840x2118
4K: 0x42x3840x2118
The above had the screen filled with images with popping color.
4K cropping info above could be added to the three listed above.
BUT:True Lies :0x280x3840x1884:
The Abyss:0x278x3840x1882:
These two -- no luck with cropping.
There is an odd ball dolby vision mkv:
Roaring Twenties.
This looks like 4:3 aspect ratio, color white... no luck with cropping.
Info for this :440x03400x2160.
I have over 1000 dolby vision mkvs, that need to be converted from profile 7.06 to 8.4.
I have only tested may be 10 mkvs.
With this app, there is also cropping info that let you key in 0,0,0,0.
I am attaching the logs for Abyss and True Lies. Proof for the successful addition of the cropping info to the RPUs will be at the bottom of the logs.
But MC 32 player still can not play the mkv with the new cropping info.
Any help on this ?
Note: My conclusion for the vanishing setting is that MC can not detect the setting, maybe it is lost or misplaced .
Thanks.
