MC31 is now available. Please see Where is MC31? (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,135681.0.html) on this board.
Please read these instructions
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,135680.0.html
Download files will be found first on the MC31 boards here. They will soon be available on the Download Page (https://jriver.com/download.html).
You can retrieve your license here: https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi
On Windows, your existing data will be found and used by the new version. On Mac and Linux, you just need to restore a backup: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Library_Backup
Keep your prior version installed until you're happy with the new version. Then uninstall the old one.
Please post any questions here.

After removing MC 30 the folder "C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 30 is not removed. Is that expected behaviour?
Can I manually delete the folder (The Cover Art Folder in the associated MC31 folder has the same size as the above MC 30 folder.)
-
I'm interested in this too, except I have folders going all the way back to MC23
-
Try just renaming the folder.

On my systems, I always delete this folder once the uninstall routine has completed. For some reason, it is always left behind. Anyhow, nothing bad ever happened to the new install when the older versions' folders get deleted.

Are there no MC31 for Linux? Feeling a bit frustrated, cant find it. :)

Is the latest MC31 still considered in Development? (I mean I know it is always in development but...)
I.E. is it considered a production version yet?
Thanks.
Carl.

Yes. We moved it to the Download Page a couple of days ago.

Thanks. Then I know. In time for my Tango-DJ the week after. Hope it works ok.

Downloaded and Installed MC31. Every time I close it and try to re-open, I get an error message that says Reinstall MC31, Media Center installed for different operating system. I am using 64 bit windows. And it opens and operates fine right after install, but if I close and reopen I get this and it won't open.
-
I just wanted to let JRiver and other users know that Norton 360 was quarantining the 64-bit download file. I submitted a challenge on last Saturday, they responded that the file was now approved, and it could take up to 48 hours to move its way through their system. I tried again on Tuesday night and the file was still quarantined. I had to go in and manually restore the file on my desktop system. I had to do the same thing on my laptop last night. Hope this helps a few other users.

I downloaded and installed 31. Used express options install (like I have done for past upgrades). It tries to import my music (which I don't want). It does not move over my library from version 30. Why? What should I do?

Just backup the library in v30 and restore in v31. The wiki has more information if you need.

Split Windows 7 Problems (https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,136026.0.html)

After upgrading to MC 31 from MC22, everything "Looks Good" in terms of my music library files and playlists. However, no music files will play in MC 31. MC 31 shows the track, buffering and length of track but the time remains at 0:00 after hitting the Play button or double clicking a track.
I am running Windows 10 64 Bit
If I open MC 22, everything performs as usual. Any help would be appreciated.
-
Try the wiki topic on Audio Setup.
Make sure you get sound from Windows Control Panel Sounds.
-
Thank you, that took me where I needed to go! There were a few playback options and audio settings that needed attention. It became obvious when I compared the same settings on the prior version, and adjured accordingly.

Related to 31 not reading 30's Main Library and having no content ... Where (what path) is 31 looking for 30's Main Library? My 30 Library is at Appdata/Roaming/.... I had recently put my backups into OneDrive. I don't know if that has anything to do with this.

If the backups weren't found in the location specified in your settings, that could be a problem.
-
Am I to assume that when I install 31, it does not look for 30's Library in .../AppData/Roaming/JRiver to load into 31? Does it look in the backup folder instead?

The MC31 Start Page is saying MC30 is now available and the link is going to the MC30 forum.

Hi,
I am trying to install MC (Ver 24, Ver 30 and V31) in my win 11 machine (i5), after the files is extracted, the instalation just vanishes from my Computer.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Antonio

Hi,
Regarding the problem above, I tried also in my Laptop (win 11 and i5 also) and with the same problem.
I use BitDefender antivirus suite.
Thanks
Antonio
-
Uninstall Bitdefender. See the Weird Problems link in my signature and the link from there to antivirus problems.
Use only Windows Defender and configure it.

I just upgraded from 27 to 31. None of my audio settings have carried over.
Pls advise.
-
Do a library backup in MC27, restore that backup in MC31.

-
Thanks for the quick solution.
It didn't find the VST plugins though. Is there is a one-step solution for that as well?
-
You'd have to manually reinstall plugins. Those aren't carried over with library backups.
-
Is anyone having issues with the CD lookup feature. It was finally working for a while. Appears to be down again?
-
There was a server issue due to a power outage, but as far as I know it should be working again.
-
Is 31 stable yet? Thx!

That's what I'm seeing after upgrading from 30 to 31. Several directories still there under 30 including Lav64 and other xxxx64 folders. I don't recall it being normal to have to copy over or reinstall plugins for previous upgrades. Is this new?
-
No, it's always been like that. In most cases, it's probably not a good idea to copy over plugins like LAV Filters from an older MC to the plugins folder of a newer MC. Best to just have MC redownload those.

When does MC redownload those? The only plugin I saw after upgrade and a night of use was madVR. I did not see it install anything else. What's the process for kicking off any upgrades? I notice quit a few that are in 30 plugin but not 31.
-
MC downloads plugins on demand when you do something that requires them, e.g. play a video (to download LAV Filters and/or JRVR if it's enabled), start a feature like Cloudplay (to download the integrated web browser component if it's needed and WebView2 Edge isn't already installed), etc.

I am a little confused re Bitstreaming for audio files, including Atmos Audio
I have been bitstreaming Audio for years hence my confusion
Can someone possibly explain the changes for me
TIA

This causes the copied MP31 version in the Apps Folder to continuously Verify and Install.

Jim,
Don't know what about your first post that I am missing
The file is sitting in my download folder but when I click on it

Thanks.

You're trying to execute the license but you haven't installed MC.

Have recently built a new computer with windows server 2022 Standard to use a music server. This was a clean build with 2 M2s, one for programs and 1 for music storage (4T). I have been able to download JRiver 31 but as soon as I hit open the computer restarts without extracting any of the files or showing the program when it restarts. The only other program on the computer is Google Chrome. I have disabled all the anti virus, defender products for now but made no difference. I actually wanted to download JRiver 30 as I had just purchased it in May on a older computer that is now been scrapped but for some reason I can not have this program open. Have been using JRiver since the 19 version!
Computer - MoBo SuperMicro X13SAE-F, Intel Core i5-12600 32 mg RAM

Windows Server isn't supported, but maybe a 32 bit version would work.
It still sounds like an antivirus or driver problem.
-
I did try the 32 bit version same thing happened. I have only used it on Windows server editions without any problems, including on Windows server 2016. I would agree seems to be a driver issue, I had disabled the windows defender settings.
Can you suggest what driver to install?
-
Crashes from drivers are usually the video driver.
