Upgrade for fixes/changes?

(1/3) > >>

eezetee:
Youtube support is one of the more important features of my family system (as deemed by Ms. Eezetee ) :)

I'd like to know that if the youtube engine is changed will it be fixed in MC20 or only addressed in MC21?

adamt:
Is Youtube not working for you?  Some videos, especially music videos, won't work because of the protection on them.

JimH:
What version are you using?  20.0.131 is on the MC20 board.

chstuart:
I have a licensed copy of MC18 and have been very happy with it. I played around some with the MC20 trial version when I upgraded to my new machine two months ago. I really could not find a compelling reason to upgrade. What would I gain by upgrading to MC21?

I mainly use MC for my whole house audio system and control it through a 24" touch screen monitor in my kitchen or via Gizmo. The slidebar on MC18 is very narrow (not in theater view, but in regular view) no matter which skin I choose and hard to move up and down with the touchscreen monitor. So a fix for that would be nice. In fact any changes that make it easier to use a touchscreen would be a plus for me.

I also access MC via Gizmo remotely to listen to music. The connection is somewhat temperamental and music sometimes pauses or drops out. This may have more to do my crappy DSL service than MC, but again any upgrades in MC's use of Gizmo would be a plus.

I also spend a great deal of time tagging FLACs and MP3s using MP3Tag.exe to get the artist, track name, album, year, genre, and cover art all correct and organized. So anything that automates that process would be nice too.

It would be great to see a matrix of upgrades from MC18 through MC21 that would easily illustrate the benefits of upgrading. I apologize if there is such a thing on the forum, but I do not have a great deal of time to research this stuff. Any info you can provide on compelling reasons to upgrade would be much appreciated and I may just make the plunge...

JimH:
MC20 has an option to enlarge the scrollbars on mouse over (or touch).  It's under the Tree & View settings.

MC has excellent tagging and cover art lookup capabilities.
