Help! MC is writing .jmd files and clearing library database
« on: February 04, 2009, 06:38:39 pm »

MC is writing several .jmd and .xml files in My Documents folder.

playlistx.jmd
mediafiles.jmd
field (thumbnail info).jmd
field (name).jmd
field (filename).jmd
field (file type).jmd
field (date imported).jmd
field (bookmark).jmd
curplaylist.jmd
browser.jmd
podcast.xml
view state temporary (index).jmd
view state temporary (data).jmd
view state (index).jmd
view state (data).jmd

Also, several times when i start MC the current library is empty. Only after a restore i can play with my files.

All suggestions will be very much appreciated.



MC 13.0.115
IMac 24 (bootcamp Win XP)
MyBook World Edition II 2 TB NAS
Squeezebox Duet

Check your library data file location.

File/Library/Library Manager/Default

You could add a new library there if you need to.

File/Library/Library Manager/Default

Default is a location or a button?

Sorry. I never used this function.

Default is the name of your default library.  You can add another library (as a test).

I can't stop MC to create this files. If i delete them MC clear the library. I need to restore the library every time after deleting the files.

There is a way to make RMC to create this files?

Thanks.

The files you are referring to ARE your library.  I think Jim is telling you that MC is using your "my documents" as the library location.  You can change that location as he suggested (use the Library tools).  I personally create a folder called "MC13 library" to hold those files.  (If you delete the library files, you are deleting the library  - not good.)
