Playback options don't work [reported this on v20.0.24]

When I configure my playback options, I have:

(Default) [Core Audio]
Airplay [Core Audio]
Bose USB Audio [Core Audio]
Built-in Output [Core Audio]

The only one that works is Built-in Output [Core Audio] which plays through  the internal PC speakers. I can't  configure it to play through my external speakers.

When I pick Bose USB Audio [Core Audio] (or (Default) [Core Audio]) I get a Playback problem dialog box saying:

Playback could not be started on the output 'Core Audio' using format '44.1kHz 2ch' which makes no sense to me.

I have a brand new Macbook Pro Retina so the hardware is capable. It does has Yosemite but this issue is not related to that as I could not make it work before the upgrade.

BTW, it does work with iTunes, Youtube, etc so it should not be a hardware or driver issue.

>>>After launching the app, using it, and closing it, it will generally not launch again; the only solution is to reboot the computer.
This has been happening since the initial release of v20, while MC 19 never had this problem.>>>>

Actually one of the kind forum members pointed me to a solution: even though the app is closed, in fact, as long as the MC icon in the menu bar (on the top right) is visible, all is needed to restart is click on it and chose "Show Media Center".

[JimH]

Please start a thread on this.  It's not normal.  Provide more details.

[dfortney]

... every time I run it, doesn't matter what i set the defaults to in Security & Privacy preferences

[mysticisgod]

The app still crashes when you select fonts in the options menu. Will this be fixed?

[rinoatomy]

when going from "Playing Now" view to any other view on AUDIO, the artwork gets stuck, only a relaunch will do.

This is happening since the last update.

Hi,

Webgizmo doesn't show up in Safari. I installed this version, and the safari window stays empty. Made a new webadress using the river wiki webgizmo: no result.

Am using: OS X 10 / Yosemity on all macs
Media Center installed on Mac Mini (2014)
Using Safari on iMac (2009, 2009 and 2013)

Until this version, worked like a charm.

Robert.

I've also noticed this.

Albums that have .cue files in their folders will import both the individual tracks and the .cue file references, thus duplicating every track.  Verified this only happens in 20.0.29 by reverting my library and rolling back to 20.0.14.

Only tested and verified this for albums that contain individual tracks + .cue files -- not sure how it handles single .wav or .flac albums w/ .cues.

My huge library nearly doubled in size on the initial auto-import of 20.0.29 and kinda freaked me out.

The key command for Quit doesn't work anymore.

It's not crashing here. It let's you pick a font in Options > Tree & View > Select font.  I wonder what could be different?  What version of OSX are you running?

New Mac 20 Update causes two instances of Media Center to open at same time. How to un-install M20?

Only happens on Yosemite. It's fine on Mavericks.

Thanks.  We reproduced it here.  Investigating...

Any idea's?  Currently I have to use iTunes for playback. I'll start a separate thread on this.

20.0.24 crashed on an old mac mini running 10.6.8. JRiver 20.0.14 runs fine. Has this crash been fixed in the newer versions?

20.0.24 crashed on an old mac mini running 10.6.8. JRiver 20.0.14 runs fine. Has this crash been fixed in the newer versions?

The video support requires OpenGL 3 at this time and we've discovered that 10.6.8 doesn't support that.
We're working on a resolution however it is possible we'll require 10.7 in the future.

We're working on it.  We know the reason.

[fritzg]

So, what is the latest version that supports 10.6.8. That is the highest my mac mini can support.

20.0.14 until we get a fix posted

It seems occasionally the app locks up, crashes and deletes my entire library as I have added it. I am using 20.0.29. I just finished with the album art this time and lost everything. *sigh* I have to re-add the entirety of my folder locations and rebuild the library every time this happens. It resets all options and everything to original settings. I don't know what to do.

Even a crash won't remove your library or settings.  Maybe you're running the installer instead of the program.  Please start a thread if you need help.
