I know this is not good news and one thing I am looking at would be to have an option within MC17 that will close MC17 and then start MCE so I can watch movies and another option in MCE that will fire up MC17 as I prefer MC17 for Music. Not ideal and very clumsy but only way I can see working till a permanent fix is available.
Hi John,
I have been a user of MyMovies for several years and consider it to be an excellent product. It has encouraged me to use MCE as GUI for Movies, using MyMovies external player app to select PowerDVD or TMT to play the movie. Now that I have switched to MC as my player, and MC not supported by external player, I thought I would abandon MM. However, justsomeguy produced a good solution to bridge the gap between MM and MC. Have you seen this thread?
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65984.0Unfortunately, it has stopped working for me since I moved to Win 7 64 bit. I am still hoping JSG will help to get it working.
In the meantime, I have had a play with TheaterView and re-skinned it and now find it pretty good.
I still much prefer the way MM works and the comprehensiveness of the on-line database. It is very rare to find a movie not available. It beats all of the scraping nonsense that is required by MC.
I have asked this before and agree with dheiskell, why don't JRiver and Brian Binnerup have a discussion and reach some business agreement on proper interworking between the products? I am sure it could benefit both companies.
Edit: I was writing this while Jim posted above. That's great news Jim.
Nick.
