Ready for wider testing?

JimH:
We're thinking about widening the beta testing.  It would be nice to hear your opinion.  How is MC12 so far for you?  Compared to 11.1?  We know it's not completely stable or bug free.

Doof:
Can't we be special just a liiiiiitle longer? ;)

glynor:
I'd probably vote no.  It hasn't been usable or stable enough yet for me to use it for "general purpose use" yet.  I'm still using a small "testing library" of files for MC12, and I wouldn't think of using it on my HTPC.

Unfortunately, as this and next week are the two busiest work weeks of my year (we have a huge course we host each year that I staff and run the AV for) I haven't had as much time as I'd have liked to play with it.  However, I'd still hesitate to recommend it to anyone over 11.1.

Marty3d:
Well...in my limited test setup it works alright, so if no more major changes are to be done, I vote yes. My view overall is probably high expectations being crumbled. So far I see nothing really remarkable compared to MC11.1.

I was hoping for the relational db and some library server functionality like better write to tags, limiting GUI for readonly situations (same goes for Party mode) etc, as well as a true multi-user environment.

So to answer your question, it's more or less the same to me, but with a spiffed up GUI.

And as always, I'm not trying to be negative, you ARE still serving the best multimedia software around! :)

KingSparta:
In The Last Report About MC12 Crashing In The Beta Thread I Think It Is Coming From When MC Is Doing Maint On Watched Folders.

I Still Would Like To See A Auto Convert Format Option

When MC12 Is Playing You Can See The File Data "Bold" but you can not see the playing arrow it is covered up by the small cover art image.

I think it would be best to allow MC to show the playing now Arrow on currently playing tracks and the cover art in the action window.

a detachable player would be nice like the detachable and dock-able action window.

It seems MC12 is now unlocking the media file after playing (that's good) that seems to fix some of the problems i was having when using media editor and converting.
