7. Fixed: Theater View keyboard could be disabled in the "Save As Playlist" popup.

First reported here with release of build 25...

I normally use a Panes and Details view, with Album being the first pane. If I switch to any Thumbnails view, that view will be displayed properly. But when I switch back to Panes and Details, some of the album categories will remain "stuck" in the thumbnails view (specifically, "All Albums" and "Viewed" will revert to details, the others will not—see screenshot). No amount of fiddling with the drop-down menu or Customize View will change this. Reloading the view is the only way to restore the view to the Panes and Details state.

You don't need to install MC13.  You can skip it and install MC14.

Not sure what the access denied message is.  Do you have admin rights?

[mitsigal]

yes i have admin rights cheers

Hi,

thanks for the fix regarding the popup of the task bar (when placed as vertical right),
the fix is good for the standard view but not for the display view (when maximized) - this is for both MC14 (0.34) and MC13 (172).

...

after further trials I see that when in maximized display mode the task bar won't pop for all taskbar positions so I guess this was meant to be

Trivia - is 14 supposed to have a 2009 copyright? (it's 2008)

To be clear, the splash window says 2009...but the "About Media Center" says 2008.

I have a view, in which all my movies are displayed in thumbnail form. top level sort id by  HD or SD, 2nd level is by name, grouped by letter. so upon selecting the view you get a hd thumbnail and an sd thumbnail. under each you have a a,b,c,d...z thumbnail. if you select the letter, what i want,is to see the movies sorted by name. seems simple enough yes? nothing i do changes the sort order of that detail pane. in my view i have the sort by set to name, under each heading (sd/hd, and name) i have it sorted by name. When looking at the view i can right click on the pane and tell it to sort by name. nothing changes, it always sorts by date imported. nothing i do will change it.

I can duplicate this with standard fields easily.
create a new view. set it to display only media sub type = movie
set it to sort by name.
add a category of Name, and enable grouping with a size of 1.
close the configure view window.
select any letter with many items, and the sort is by import order (i believe) but definitly not name order. ideas.
this has been present for a number of release versions.
is this a sort issue with mc, or am i doing something wrong?

Since 14.0.34 i have problems when synchronizing my ipods (an iPod video 80Gb and a Nano 2nd gen).

They are not recognized when connected : i have a pop-up with the following message :
Your iPod could not be properly identified. Please check for an updated version of Media Center. iPod type : ",",0,0.
I have them for quite a while and it's the first time i have that error.

This message keep on appearing while synchronizing, and Media Center crashed before the end of the sync.

I've split jolo's post to a new topic.  Thank you!

Using MC's built in "Artist Info" toolbar button to find Hüsker Dü, results in AMG returning with:

A bad DirectShow filter could cause the problem, but check the link called "Stability" in my signature.  Please start a new thread if you can't find a solution.\

Try turning off visualizations and try updating DirectX from Microsoft.

MC crashes when I expand a viewscheme in standard view. It does not crash when I select the view scheme.

The actors field is a nested field (Name\Role) and I have 48641 actors. The view scheme only has one level (Actor)

here's a crash log. Just prior to this log, I select the viewscheme and reset the log:
