Okay, first off I really like this player and have been using it for about a week, but I am having some problems with it and this is preventing me from buying it just yet.
1. Not all of my video files would import (certain MKV files, not all). I fixed this by changing the files that it would show to this:
-[Filename (path)]="M:\music" -[File Type]=[jpg] -[File Type]=[txt] -[File Type]=[pdf] ~sort=[Artist],[File Type],[Filename],[Date],[Name]
Now all of my videos are imported, but Media Center does not see them all as videos.
2. Even though the videos are in the library when I click on them to play, they will not add to the Now Playing list, thus I cannot play them, again these are the same videos that would not add to the library before (mostly MKV's).
I have found a workaround for this, what I have to do is navigate to the folder through Windows Explorer and just drag that file to the Playing Now list and then it plays just fine.
This is very annoying, I end up not even using the library because I don't even know if the file will add or not.
3. When Media Center is gathering the thumbnails for the Video Files (it has to open each file and take a screenshot) the computer slows to a halt, thus making me end Media Center.
I have found a workaround for this, and that is renaming JRWorker.exe to something else (ex. JRWorker1.exe).
But this is not good enough, I would really like to be able to have thumbnails on my files.
There should be some way to change the priority of JRWorker.exe on start-up or something. I have already changed the priority of JRWorker.exe in the Task Manager but that did not seem to help anything, it still slows to a halt when it is gathering the Thumbnails for the Video Files.
4. Last.Fm would not scrobble files in the newest version of Media Center (12.0.329) so I went back to an older version (12.0.318).
As far as the audio part goes, this player is flawless, it plays every file I have (over 20,000 songs) and I use mostly FLAC so that support is nice.
But the real reason I am using this player is because of the Video Library support (no other player I know of has both good video and audio support) I have over 3000 videos in my library and they are mostly encoded in MKV (h264,x264,xvid), AVI(xvid,h264,divx), and OGM (divx,xvid), with AAC, MP3, and OGG audio.
