Hello,
 
is Media Center Remote still available to purchase?

Thanks
Marco

Not quite sure what you mean by "artists art".  Is it artwork which is stored under the artist's folder, rather than in album folders, assuming folder scheme Artist > Album > Tracks & Album Art?  If so, then I would expect the same folder compare which picks up album differences to also pick up changes to "artists art"?

I thought you were arguing there is no need to copy album art if stored inside the audio files. I agree.
I was pointing out you still need to sync the artists cover art folder if you want to clone an identical setup.
I want my second system to be exactly identical in all respects.
I did not mention it but you also need to sync skins and custom resources.

A new version of the Skin: Easy Grey version 1.3
I put the version-number in the main.xml (About...), not in the Skin Name itself.

Update notes:
1. Playerbar_Search.png: stretching was not working properly. Changed Code. Now everything stays pixelperfect.
2. Updated Icons:
- SmallIcons.png, Options.png, ActionBarNavigation.png: a few new Icons. Added a transparent border. This slightly reduces Icon display-size and gives them some 'air' in Tree-menu and Options windows. Yes, it took some ingenuity with Photoshop actionscripts to automate Icon-size changes
Action-bar Icons were grey, now back to original colors.
3. Frame_Spotlight.png: changed design and changed size. Image was not so square at large Skin sizes (200+).
4. minor changes, not worth mentioning.

Testing: I have a 55 inch LG Oled. Never used it at 3840x2160 resolution and 100% size (Windows-setting). 100% makes text very small... My eyes are usually 2.00 meters (78 inch) away with a Windows-setting of 300%. With 100% I needed to get up close: 70 centimeter (27 inch). Anything for a test... It was nice to play with Font-size and Skin-size. Font 8pt and Skin 400% looks good! Mainframe borders and images stay perfect. Set font to 8pt and Skin 200% and enjoy editing your database. Impressive.

I was going to refrain myself from improving the Skin. But my brain kept 'busy'. It needs to accept the current stage of the Skin...

Try moving "Audio Codec" to the top on the sort order and Track# to the bottom.
Filename (Path) probably needs to be removed too.

It's usually around 7 give or take a few, yeah. I just said 20 so there's enough tracks to switch every few seconds but it definitely happens for me under 10 tracks. What does it do for you? Does it disconnect from the server? Does it crash? Exo or Android System being used?

hi
I have ripped the same album in flac , aac and mp3 (honestly more than 1 album , ( i have several albums in flac , mp3 and aac)

the files of the album are in different folders , for example \music\arist\album flac\  and inside the songs of the album

when i send multiple albums to player , i have the in the player a weird sort order

for example
1.song a (flac)
2.song a (mp3)
3. song b (flac)
3 song b( mp3)
and son on

I would like to group by folder or encoder to  have
1 song a (flac)
2 song b (flac)
3 song a (mp3)
4 song b (mp3)

I have tried this sort order -screenshot - I would like to group albums sort by track number 1 ,2 ,3 and so on
but in case of i have the same album in different format like flac ,mp3 , well i would like to group by flac and mp3
to have all the track 1 ,2 ,3 ,4 and so on of the flac album and after the mp3 album

is there a way to sort and group the list of songs in playing now -> player by encoder or folders ?

thanks in advance , sorry for my poor english

ps before posting i have searched but i have not found group in the playing now -> player
i have found these , i add these links just to show i have searched

I have Atmos MKVs with corresponding CUE files.  Works great, except for gapless playback.
Would it be possible to add an option to ignore the CUE data, so that MKV plays gapless?
So, perhaps you could right click on one of the songs in the playlist (provided by the CUE data), and select option to "Ignore CUE/Play Gapless"? This would cause the MKV to restart and play entire file start to end ignoring gaps, or if possible ignore the CUE from that point onward.  Clicking on any one of the songs would end this mode, and return to normal CUE playback.

I wish I got 20 tracks before it stops.  I get exactly 7 and have always gotten exactly 7, either playing the tracks or bashing next track when streaming to device in Mo4Media.
This is on a fiber connection, too.

Where do the images come from?

It appears that images are downloaded from themoviedb.org and tmdb.org, stored locally, and served from the MCWS service in MC. That's based on the XML files that are created for each movie in your %appdata%\J River\Media Center 32\Cache\Spotlight\Movie folder.
