The fix works great, thanks!

What happened to timestamps in Theater View?

32.0.47


32.0.49

In my reply above, I guess I should have noted that this is a feature request that I have been planning to put in for some time now. The OP's question and my reply to it just happen to align.

So little more information. Manually showing the album cover as I described in my prior post does not tell the whole story - it is actually far more powerful. This approach will show the file image of the item currently selected. It is not limited to the Playing Now item only. And you don't need a Playing Now tab to display an image.

This is especially useful as you can browse Movies, images, and other items in the playing now queue - the image at the bottom of the tree updates to reflect whatever you've selected. All the while, the primary Playing Now window still shows the cover art (or visualization) of the currently playing item.

This truly would be a very nice enhancement if Matt were to consider it. 

Sorry to the OP for hijacking the thread, but the answers provided by both haggis and myself should resolve the initial question.

There is a way to force the album art to be displayed in the lower left manually. Go to the Legacy tag window and select the small thumbnail in the upper left - that will also place the cover art at the bottom of the tree (close the tag window to see). Then go back to the Legacy tag window settings to revert to the Modern tag window - the album cover will still be there when you close the tag window. Unfortunately, this is not remembered between MC restarts, so you have to go through this multiple step procedure to manually show the album cover each time. 

If your reading this Matt, any chance it is easy to make that something MC remembers between sessions?  It is definitely something I always want to have turned on, but every time I restart MC I have to do the tag window dance all over again. Another approach might be to add it as one of the action window menu choices: Rip Disc, Burn Disc, Sync Handheld, Camera, Build Playlist, Tag, and now... File Image

If the issue is not what haggis has correctly described, then...

An album cover for the currently playing item is automagically displayed in the lower left only if you do not have a Playing Now tab opened. As soon as you open a Playing Now tab, the album cover disappears at the lower left and the action window is shown.

The album cover appears in the Display window. If you are not seeing this image, then perhaps the Display window is collapsed - in which case, you can expand it by clicking on the little upward-pointing arrow on the right.

My videos are all generated by ripping Blu-rays using MakeMKV, which offers a way to set d flags to indicate the default audio track and default subtitle track. If I get this wrong at the time of ripping, MKVToolNix lets me modify those flags in the MKV file.

No doubt there is other software that can do the same thing.

The default settings will control how a video is played for the first time in MC, but if you subsequently select a different audio stream or a different subtitle setting then MC will remember those changes and ignore the flags next time you play that video.

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically start some movies or series in a predefined audio language and subtitle language that difer from the global default language selected, based on some condition ?

For example: in Options>Video, English is selected as both the default audio language and the default subtitle language. But video tagged as "French" should be automatically played with the French audio stream selected and without subtitles.

I seem to have lost the album cover that showed up in the bottom left hand corner of standard view whenever an album was playing. Now the only thing down there seems to be the action window. Any ideas?
