MC20 to MC21 - What user data gets automatically migrated?
kstuart:
Hmmm... all of my settings, including TV timers, TV tuner profiles. madVR profiles and settings, Smartlists and custom library fields (including those from your "least played" thread), migrated over.
So far, the Zoneswitch rules are the only ones that did not, and I just pasted the old ones and they seem to work fine.

I wasn't sure about this stuff, but that isn't that surprising. I think that falls into the "required to use it" category a bit.

I think this is definitely new. And, from your other comment, I assume Zones and Audio Device settings too. Sounds like, this time, they decided to do everything. That's fine. As I said, that's easier for lots of people. We'll probably see fewer of those "hey, MC21 fixed it for me" posts, though.

Pasting them in allows the already-existing data validation and setting-saving back end to just do its thing. If the underlying mechanism changed, these settings may be translated into very different registry entries from the old version. So that would explain that.
Or, they just forgot them, and they'll be added in some future release. ?

Matt's looking at that.

Thx Glynor. Very good info. Can both versions coexist without interfering with one another? (understanding one has the server option enabled and not the other)...

Yes, I have 19, 20 and 21 all installed.
The main things to remember:
* All previous versions should have "None" set in Startup options.
* Any batch files and so forth that might have "MC20.exe" explicitly listed must be changed to say "MC21.exe".
