Please take a look at focus problem when changing dsp settings.
Tried to convert SACD to MP3 CBR Fast Encoding (which is working now,Thanks!), but after 'playing' around with dsp settings, the settings window disappeared to background and doesn't come back.

No chance to quit settings window anymore or to close mc. I had to kill the mc process with task manager.

Win 7 x64, Aero enabled, MC latest build, BlackonBlack Skin.

PS:
And it would be nice if MC would add Replay gain tags to converted files, when not imported to mc library.
Perhaps as an option. (Analyze after conversion)
The converted mp3 files from SACD didn't have Replay gain tags.

MC server PC went to sleep while I was listening to Julio Iglesias through laptop in the porch...
Had to get back into the house, wake up MC server, wife's dog bit me again.....

Thanks for the report, we'll take a look.

One Liststyle in Theater View is a little buggy.

Don't know the name of this style.
Let's take view by actors for example.
Actor Names on the left side, and only covers on the right side. If you scroll to an actor, cover arts start cycling, if there is not enough room for all covers in the line.

Looks like there are all covers in each field, because at the border of the covers you can see that there are other covers in the background, too.
Doesn't look very nice.

Since installing build 195 the preservation of missing disks is not working anymore. All movies which are on another RAID disappear throughout the day from the library and have to be re-imported all the time again before watching a movie... pretty annoying, as this function has been working well before

thanks

When I create playcharts the original seed value will persist for only a short period of time. I tried just now creating several play charts and then exiting MC and shutting down the server which was running in the background. When I restarted MC, 3 out of the 5 playcharts I created had reset had lost the "seed" and were displaying random music that had nothing to do with the original seed. I reported this a few versions back and it still seems to be there.

[ksvane]

It seems that when I convert multiple songs from a .cue file (there is only one audio file but the songs are shown individually in MC according to the .cue) and I've chosen the 'replace original file' option, only the first track is converted, the rest disappear.

[kamimeguro]

Hi ksvane,

if you select replace when doing conversion from a cue sheet, the original file is indeed deleted after the first conversion.
You shall first elect to add (or not), but not replace, the converted files to your library and then remove the cue and original file from library after the conversion is completed.
I learned the hard way and had to re-rip my cd...

Hope that help
Kami

Some ASS subtitles are displayed incorrectly(see: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82108.0 )

[dean70]

Clear playing now on exit does not work if the machine is shut down with MC running.

[zeotta]

I usually use Korean font for subtitles but  Not Changed Korean subtitle font..English fonts changed well.

I am a new MC18 user.  I stream audio to my PS Audio PWD.  I use JRemote as a controller.  In general MC18 works great; however, I do run into a problem on a regular basis.  Sometimes the next song from a playlist won't play.  The progress bar moves forward but there is no sound.  The resolution has required a different approach.  One, select another song (or even the same one) and it will play.  This approach doesn't always work.  Two, reset the upnp server.  I can do this remotely from my iDevice.  This always works and maintains my previously selected playlist. 

This problem has cropped up under several different scenarios.  One, just playing through a playlist.  Goes to the next song, then no audio.  Two, adding songs to a playlist of different resolutions (i.e. 24/192 to 16/44.1). Three, just adding another 16/44.1 album to the playlist.

Sorry but I haven't pinpointed a consistent trigger for the problem.  Above is the best info I can provide.  My network is very stable.  All the devices are hard wired using static IP addresses and apple network (extreme and airport) devices.

Thanks for your help, Dale

[JimH]

You could probably work around that by upsampling everything to the highest format your device can reliably support.  Use MC's Output Settings.  Start a new thread if you need help.

Improvements that JRiver has committed to adding to v18 (hopefully coming soon):

    Theater View will optionally fade away some text to prevent plasma burn-in.

With the release of 19 drawing ever closer when should we expect see this feature added to 18?

[mason32]

Even when setting xy-VSFilter as a video postprocessor for subtitle rendering, JRiver's internal engine continues to render the subtitles. Also it isn't possible to select the newest version called 'XYSubFilter'. See: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=82161.0
