We're still working on Media Center 11.  We appreciate your feedback on it, but MC11 may not work as expected and we can't yet fully support it.  When upgrading from MC 10, you will lose your view schemes.  Some plugins still do not work.

We recommend that you use MC10 below, but if you want to use MC 11 while we're building it, PRICES are here:

If you want a more trouble-free experience, please download Media Center 10 here:

Media Center 11 is available here:

• Several memory and speed enhancements -- like database and skin unloading when minimizing MC
• Much of MC's interface can be translated to other languages
• Integrated database import and update with smart broken linking repairing, and other nice features

Thank you.

1) Theater View - If I start playing something in a first zone and switch to another zone, the visualization window is still shown for the first zone and does not go away.  This is a problem because I have repositioned the visualization window and it obscures the buttons on the home page when I try to select something for the second zone.

2) I have a visualization that shows REMAINING_TIME and have the "gapless" playback mode.  The visualization switches to the next track before the first one is done and shows some weird text for the remaining time for the few seconds before the next track starts.  Sometimes it shows something like "-0:-16" and other times it "counts down" from 0:30 but never reaches 0 of course.

Hi,

I'm using build .84 and I'm unable to view any video in the window and browse the library at the same time. viewing in the window causes mc to minimize and clicking on it in the task bar only brings up the window playing the video.

Also, still not able to change the volume of media center using media scheduler. please could somebody help me with this if i am doing something wrong. The command I am using again:

Command VolumeSet [35]

Thanks,
Bri

If you set MC to use windowed mode, it'll minimize the main app by default when switching.

Either of these work:

• Set MC not to use Windowed mode, but instead use Full Screen
• Hold 'Shift' while starting playback to disable MC from minimizing when going to windowed mode

Installed .86 last night over .85 and this morning it's unable to do anything with my iPod.  It gives me an 'Incorrect parameter' error.  The iPod shows up in the Drives & Devices list but when I navigate to Transfer Files, it just goes back to the top of the Action Window menus.
