* When launching a TV Channel in Theater Mode with Space Bar, it doesn't launch the selected TV Channel but takes the first one in the list.  


* Could we have the recording options and DVD controls in Theater Mode in a more obvious place then in Playing Now/Display Options/... ?
And/Or have MC Commands for these actions  

[DocLotus]

Thanks for the Toolbar Right click.

Very nice

4. Changed: Auto-expand / auto-collapse tree works anytime a tree selection changes. (applies to Favorites, Locate, Action Window gotos, etc.)

Works...thanks you!

[NoCodeUK]

Thanks Matt..Shell Integration is much better...only thing now is it adds to playing now starting from the file you right click on...I'm pretty sure you changed this in 9 so it added in selection order ie filename sorted.  If this is possible that would be great...but thanks a lot for sorting it out...makes things a lot easier...

If you Change the EQ to rock or something, then change a Band MC10 will change the Genre Back To "Custom" as it should.

But

if you set the genre to "Rock" or something, and you have a plug-in change a Band. MC does not change the Genre to "Custom"

As a matter of fact Matt must be sliping since the "Boss" aka: "God Father" likes Jazz where is the Jazz preset?

speaking of that, I don't see a way to change the preset from the SDK using A user selected Genre.

A Bit Of Smooth Jazz (Nice Song)

Excuse my ignorance, but what is WMDM, and is the creative Zen Xtra compatible with this?

[minsky_a]

What about Auto Scan feature ? will that be possible ?
All the other big apps have it ?!!!

After downloading 60, I wrote -

Help - big problems with 60. I tried to install it but  it hung during the installation process at the point of trying to install MC program files. I then tried to go back to the previous version, but got the same hang-up. After trying a few older releases with the same result, I tried to uninstall but that hung up as well. So, now I don't have any MC at all and haven't a clue where to go from here. Any help greatly appreciated as I've got the family coming up for the weekend......hheeellllppppp !!!!!

Win98SE and can't remember the rest........
=======================================

and CVIII replied -

JollyJim,
This behavior sounds all-too-familiar as I had Win98SE at one time.
I don't know the technicalities but it seems that Win98 corrupts itself over time and needs to be periodically reinstalled. You can do that without erasing your hard drive but if you can arrange it, that would be the best.
Either way, you would have to re-install all of your applications even if they still resided on the disk. The non-"clean install", the one where you replace only the operating system and don't erase files, is called for if you can't back up your files somewhere else.
Understand, please, that I don't KNOW that this is your problem but I do know that I have had that problem and a reinstall (I've done it both ways) fixes it.

I hope, I hope.
CVIII
====================================

Thanks for replying CVIII. I've downloaded 62 but got the same results. I've tried installing/uninstalling some other apps and they've been ok so I really don't know what the problem is. I see from this thread that RocketSause is having some install problems - maybe there is something there for JR to look at. I don't think I would be capable of reinstalling Windows - it's sounds far too horrific for one as simple as me. But, thankyou for you reply

Starting in 10.0.62:

When streaming from my Nomad Jukebox Zen via Notmad Manager, I now receive an error from MC:

New info:  Looks like this has nothing to do with streaming.  This is happening to me on any WMA files that I play but not MP3s.

Information
type=4, m_Duration=722583520

The number for m_Duration changes depending on the file I'm trying to stream.

I'm getting various random crashes with this version -- the MS "error report" box has come up several times tonight during normal operations.

[Rockinrob]

Now using 10.0.62 (the previous version same problem), I am not able to burn an audio CD.  It proceeds to write lead in/out, stalls for a short time, and then displays the following error:

"Power on, Reset, bus dev"

Any clues to what's going on and how to fix?

Thanks,
Rob Juneau

Bugs:
1. With new Auto Expand logic, MC keeps auto-collapsing nodes when you navigate away from a node...PLEASE don't do that, MC, please!!  Or, add an Auto Collapse checkbox that we can disable.

2. On a mass File Move, if MC hits an error (duplicate) and you click Cancel to the error dialog...MC cancels the request, but updates the library to reflect the remaining unmoved files as moved (to the new location, but they weren't).

I downloaded this build and used it last night with no problems, of course I didn't plug in my iPod.

Well, this afternoon I fired it up and it told me my trial period had expired, so I had to use one of my web restores to get my liscence back.

Also, it did not recognize my iPod's database correctly and asked me if I wanted to format the iPod for MC.  I was forewarned on that one, so it's my own fault for plugging it in.
