Hi all,
I have MC 17.0.182 (registered). I am having playback problems with JRiver dating back through version 17, 16, maybe back to 14. I have not had a chance to work on it till now (yes, its been misbehaving for a long time). All the other media player brands on my aging system work fine except JRiver. When I try to play an audio file, the sound is extremely garbled (stutters and sounds "underwater"). Sometimes MP3s work fine, but sometimes not. No other audio formats work right. Sometimes videos work, but often not at all.
I seem to be able to get AUDIO formats semi-working if I set "settings for file types" to playback = JRiver VIDEO Engine (using DirectShow Filters).
I uninstalled and reinstalled. I uninstalled Combined Community Codec Pack and reinstalled (but I may not have it configured right); doesn't help.
Also, JRiver is unstable and doing things within the program (like scrolling through the library) can sometimes make playback jerky; I get frequent crashes and freezes. I also now seem to have a problem where its hard to drag the volume slider to the right (may be a separate issue? "Startup Volume" is set to 80%, but when restarting, JRiver strangely ignores this.).
I've been using JRiver since at least version 7 and love it, but I can't use it like this. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
BigCat
