I've been playing with the MC11 Theater View and I've found an inconsistancy in the way the Theater View "Playing Now" displays (i.e. the Playing Now screen you get when in Theater View mode.)  It always displays along the bottom of the screen, but sometimes it utilizes the "Track Info" configuration that I currently have selected, and sometimes it will simply display the cover art surrounded by black.

I seem to have found some form of pattern to this issue, which has something do with the specific sequence I use to access the Theater View Playing Now screen.  For example, if I'm in standard view and use the mc11.exe command "/MCC 22001,2" via Girder to access the the Theater View Playing Now screen, I get the cover art on black along the bottom of the screen.  If, on the other hand, I switch to full screen view and THEN use the same "22001,2" command to navigate to the TV Playing Now screen, I'll get the track info screen along the bottom of the screen (which is the "correct" display."  This behavior is consistant, and by using other combinations of keystrokes/commands to navigate to the Theater View Playing Now screen I can get it to behave one way or the other.

Note that the Playing Now screen I get when using the "Standard View" is consistant -- it's just when navigating to this screen in Theater View that it's inconsistant.

Thanks for any feedback on this,

Larry

Hi !
I don't know if this has anything to do with your situation as I don't use girder, but there are separate controls for the display in Theater Mode under the controls tab. When you do your girder thing, MC may be affected by what is preset in theater mode. Just a thought.

Have you checked your messages lately?

Unfortunatley, that doesn't effect the issue I'm describing, which is that the view you get is not consistant -- i.e. when you access the same screen via a different method, you get a different display.  This shouldn't be the case.  The Theater View "Playing Now" screen should look the same regardless of how you "get" to it.

When you do your girder thing, MC may be affected by what is preset in theater mode. Just a thought.

The preset is simply the option of checking/unchecking "cover art."  It is not designed to allow you to get different results by navigating to the same screen in a different way.  This appears to be an actual bug.

Thanks,
