BUG # 1

It is impossible to have a Jan 1 release date.

I use an acer windows 10 laptop and choose the 18-Dec-2016 date format in the lower right corner.
This changes the MJ14 date format to the same type. I put the exact day, month and year of song releases, but a bug prevents any Jan-1-.... dates.

BUG #2.

Certain fonts and sizes cause the program to crash!

I changed my font to... and the program crashed. I can't open it, and I can't even uninstall it! It just keeps telling me to finish uninstalling it, but it never goes further. Absurd.

If I download it to attempt to reinstall it, it won't let me because it says I already have another version. But the existing version won't open or uninstall. I'm stuck and can't use it...all because I changed fonts and font size. HELP!

Will N. Dowd:
The guilty font style and size is Cambria Math Regular 11.

It causes the program to get stuck and it can't be opened.

Regarding the font...
I can confirm that setting the font to Cambria Math Regular 11 does indeed cause a crash.
Media Center 14 stores the font info in the registry, in a different format to the current version of MC, Media Center 22.

There is a registry file in the archive attached to this post.
Open the archive and double click the registry file. Allow Windows to add the info to your registry.
It will set your font to Tahoma and allow MC to launch.
You can now pick a different font if you don't like tahoma.

Media Center development is now a long way on from v14 so I'm not sure if this will be fixed. You can at least get back up and running in the meantime by using the attached registry file.
For clarity, the file contains the data shown below:

--- Code: ---Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Center 14\Properties]

"Font Version"=dword:00000004
"Font"=hex:f4,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,90,01,00,00,00,00,\
  00,00,03,02,01,22,54,00,61,00,68,00,6f,00,6d,00,61,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\

"Font Height"="-9"
--- End code ---

Out of curiosity, I just tried that Cambria Math font in the current MC version. It doesn't crash the program now, but it does render it all but unuseable. The attached image below shows what happens when picked at size "8".
