When my copy did automatic update, video playback stopped working.

Today I removed then re-installed... and that seems to have resolved it.

I upgraded to 20.0.132 last night and then launched jrmc today. It now gives me the attached 2 dialogs but then proceeds to launch, and function, normally.

This is on a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 2015 with a 2560x1440 screen running win 8.1

1. Watching TV on a client is broken - comes up with "No TV tuner available".  Rebooting doesn't help.  Status on server says "Serviing client".

2. Regression from build 115 - the option to disable time-shifting on digital channels is no longer working. Timeshifting files are still created.

[rudyrednose]

I also had a few times the "No TV tuner available" on a client.  I go to the server and start a TV channel without trouble.  Then coming back on the client, TV works ok. 
2 pairs of HDHomerun ATSC tuners, idle at start.

@Hendrik/Matt bug reported in http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=99389.0 reproduced by me so seems real. Steps to reproduce

- set output format to 16 channels & ensure output device is in a mode that can accept 16 channels
- turn off all other DSP blocks
- create a convolver cfg like

Code: [Select]

- play a stereo track
- confirm output appears on channels 1 & 2 as expected
- create new cfg

Code: [Select]

- update convolver to point at new cfg
- confirm output remains on channels 1 & 2 as expected
(NB: you can add channels 5/6/7/8 to this and output will remain on channel 1/2)

- create new config and update convolver to use it

Code: [Select]

- confirm that you now see output on 3 channels; 1,2,11
- confirm that channel 11 seems to be some clone of channel 1 (unsure if exact copy, haven't verified this)

- repeat previous step adding channels from 11-15 and confirm that additional cloned channels appear in the output on a 1 to 1 basis (i.e. adding 11 to the cfg results in output on channel 12 assuming 0 based index on the input and 1 based on the output)

- if you have a 24 channel device, continue adding outputs until

Code: [Select]

// this one creates a rogue output

i.e. the bug is something funky is going on with channel routings when applying a path to channels 10-19 in the convolver

Please take a look at the WDM thread.  It has instructions.

[trevoraiston]

Thank Jim. Did that installed WDM.  But everytime I try and play a audio track or watch TV I gaet ask if I want the programme to make changes to the syste > say yes a new copy of JRiver fires up.  Repeat the peocedure and your stuck in a loop??

Reverted back to Direct sound JRiver seems to be working fine

[Daveyravey]

Watching TV on a client is still broken  error says  "No TV tuner available".   Status on server says "Serving client"

Any news on when this may be fixed as I'm still running MC20 Build 115 due to this problem.

[JimH]

If you're using MC on a client to watch TV, the server is where it should be recorded, so I don't understand why you're getting the message about the tuner not being available.

[Daveyravey]

Live TV is also not working when trying to watch live TV from a client the same messages apply. If you look through the posts other users are having the same problem. Build 115 is ok any builds after that a client cannot watch live tv

[JimH]

Davey,
Take a look at the antivirus thread.  I just posted RoderickGI's antivirus problem there.  It would be better to use a dedicated thread for your problem.

[rudyrednose]

Watching TV on a client is still broken  error says  "No TV tuner available".   Status on server says "Serving client"
...

I have occasionnaly the same issue.  Tuner not available, seen both on the clients and the MC server itself.
Shutting down MC server (not the computer) and restarting it does the job, I am then OK for the evening.
I do not think it is antivirus related...

[csimon]

1. Watching TV on a client is broken - comes up with "No TV tuner available".  Rebooting doesn't help.  Status on server says "Serviing client".

2. Regression from build 115 - the option to disable time-shifting on digital channels is no longer working. Timeshifting files are still created.

Are these problems going to be fixed in MC20 or is there going to be no further build?

[StFeder]

For Windows 10 if a detached display is set to full screen at a (second) monitor which is using scaling it will not fill the entire screen. Discussion about it here.

[~OHM~]

This version was posted end of July....are we to assume this is the final version for MC20....thanks

[AoXoMoXoA]

MC steals control of keyboard media keys even though Options are set NOT to use Remote Control.

This requires me to close MC to use media keys for any other program or app.

PLEASE repair this.

[maid]

This version was posted end of July....are we to assume this is the final version for MC20....thanks

me too ?

[AoXoMoXoA]

YouTube is crashing MC.

Click a link and MC locks-up/freezes, click ANYWHERE after that and the program closes. 

[AoXoMoXoA]

earlier reported YouTube problem was caused by user using "Ctrl-Click", which apparently is no longer necessary to save a file, however . . . .

Freeze-up of Media Center still occurs later in the process.
Once you accept the file being saved, MC will save the file properly but freezes on "Downloading (1 remaining) 0% and any further interaction with the interface results in crash of MC.

[masterful]

double sided cue issue from this post(https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=92050.msg649518#msg649518) seems to be back

[Primare21]

Hello
JRiver 20.02.132,
Player/Playback option/Track change:

I try différent switch track, crossfader smooth or agressive. Nothing change, it's always standart.

I deleted JRiver and reinstalled, same.

Best regards

This version was posted end of July....are we to assume this is the final version for MC20....thanks

Well I guess moving this board answers this question!

[pgruebele]

I am running 132 on Windows 10 with a NAIM dac-v1 which supports 384/24.  In the DSP format tab everything is converted to 384Khz 2 channel.  When I use WASAPI everything works normally.  When I use Direct Sound, I get the "something went wrong with playback error".  The audio control panel settings for the NAIM are 384/24 and I can play back using direct sound from other media players such as Groove Music.  The NAIM shows 384/24 when using Groove Music or JRiver WASAPI so everything is configured correctly.

This seems to be a JRiver bug which is preventing proper playback.

Please help.

[JimH]

Please start a thread on this.  Use WASAPI if it works.
