Actually 15.0.20, but I didn't see anything in the change log:

Upgrade from MC14 does not preserve auto-import settings.

[KeystoneCop]

This has been reported before:
Tools-Options-Tree & View- Advanced-right click recent command count. I changed to 8

There is no recent commands for the following


                        LOCATE ..name
                        Locate .. Artist
                        Locate.. album.

it just saves the last one used as LOCATE  It used to save all 3 in version 13.

[morrison]

"Remove from list" do nothing on client for "There:server" zone

[KeystoneCop]

If I double click a mp3 when media center is NOT loaded.. It loads and plays the music.


If I double click a mp3 when media center IS loaded.  It takes me to the media center program.. BUT does NOT play the music.
Nothing was playing at the time. The play list is empty.

[rossp]

5. NEW: Media Center will import data from MyMovies-style xml file created by Yammmm.

Yaobing you absolute star..........

Thanks...Ross

[Diverdown1964]

With this build, and with build 20, Syncronization to my iPod Classic 160GB is failing. Status is simply "Error".

[Diverdown1964]

I should have been more specific - Video file synchronization is failing - Audio is fine.

[morrison]

WinXP, MC 14.0.161 - backup library - install(first) MC 15.0.23 - restore library & setting, restart - all ok. Uninstall MC14 with default option (display 800x480), run MC 15 - "last.fm plugin doesn't install property" or something like this.

[tonyct9]

I just bought MC15 and notice when in Theater view,if I jump from song to song MC15 crashes.If I just play through an album its fine.Love the program but would be nice if changing tracks was smoother and didn't affect operation of program in Theater View.I am using a remote to switch tracks but has also happened when not using remote.Also might be nice to be able to turn off slide show in Theater View.Some images are not related to music...Thanks.

If I double click the installer, the extracting windows sits at 0% indefinitely.

[Matt]

If I double click the installer, the extracting windows sits at 0% indefinitely.

Try downloading again and disabling programs that interfere with other programs like spam / virus checkers.

This isn't a report we're hearing much of.

[MGD_King]

If I double click the installer, the extracting windows sits at 0% indefinitely.

I'll echo what Matt said. Same thing happened to me when I first downloaded .23. Problem was I didn't realize that the download didn't complete successfully. I had only downloaded 4MB worth and when I launched the installer, it sat at 0% until I went into the processes and killed the installer manually.

[MarkCoutinho]

Just a quick first buggie after my first setup:

the top toolbar is indeed imported from the settings of my MC14, however, it isn't shown. When I (for example) change the position of a certain option in the dialoguebox (customize toolbar): after that the items are shown.

Hope you understand what I mean...

(edit...): However: my favorites, which I had in my favoritelist (button: Navigation) have not been imported.

[BigMac]

With MC 15.0.23,

the pause function is not working.  When I click pause button, the music is still there.

[MarkCoutinho]

It works fine with my MC15.023.
Maybe it's a skin-thing? I use the Thunderstorm skin.

[sdgrizdan]

OLD REFERENCE:

Click on 'Drives and Devices' in the tree -->
Click on "ipod Setup" in the main screen blue box-->
The page that appears references MC12.

[MarkCoutinho]

Another thing that isn't imported with the settings: my cusmotized and saved views. Would be great if that would be saved/restored as well!
