Media Center 12.0.58

<< < (2/3) > >>

daniel_2k:
The media keys on my keyboard (play, forward, stop ect.) only work if MC12 is active. When MC12 is minimized or I'm in another program the keys don't work.
In build 57 the keys worked. In every case.
When I set the Media key mode (in Options -> General) from automatic to disabled and close the options dialog and reopen it and set the mode back to automatic the keys work outside of MC12. But when I close MC12 and reopen it the same problem occur again.

Jaguu:
Bug:

Mpl - Playlists are not imported into MC12, neither through
1) import command in Windows Explorer, nor
2) through the "Add Folder through Library" feature, nor
3) through the "Check Folders now" feature.

Sometimes MC reports that a file has been imported (once only), but no tags will be added to the library. Right now the only way to handle this is by using MC11 and restore the MC11 library to MC12 ? I am trying to import about 2000 image files with tag info stored in mpl files! No way to do it directly in MC12 right now!

Also the long time reported missing feature of updating existing tags through a mpl file would be handy. One has always to remove the files from the library first to use mpl playlists.

Cleanup:

With the changing of the Import function to "Watch Folders" also some renaming should take place as it is rather confusing:

1) In Options>General: Automatically import files into Media Library??? Does this option has any meaning now? Can imagine with Watch Folders deactivated that it still performs the old functionality. True? Then it should be moved to Options>Startup and renamed to something like "Check folders for new files at startup"

2) The Import command in the Windows Explorer Shell should be renamed for consistency reasons to something like "Check this folder now" Or maybe add a separate import feature in the main menu similar to IE that combines Import/Export in one subtask (It is not something one uses on a regular basis)

3) Another way could be to add an additional feature in Library Tools such as "Update library (from external file)" (such as Excel files, mpl playlists, text files or other). It would be very handy, if one has information already at hand and wants to import it in MC

Wishes:
1) The automatic insertion of the date in the album field should be optional as it may be cause plenty of distraction. Before one could simply check "Unassigned" in the "Genre" field for new files to find out what  was new, Now this has been become more complicated. Also for deleting stuff from the library it is cumbersome as the date has nothing to do with the import date.

2 ) There are simply too many actions/tasks in the options menu that in my opinion should be moved to the Action Window! What is the purpose of the AW if not starting actions/tasks?

Examples: Add Folder to Library, Check Folders Now, Build Thumbnails, Update for external changes etc. Together with Library Management functions (as somebody else suggested) they could go in one main task pane.

MC building thumbnails seems to be stealing focus from other windows.

ie. me typing this message. When i look up i realise that the last half of what i typed didnt get input.

What type of files?  There are some misbehaved DirectShow filters that are more ambitious than they should be that can get used for video playback.
