Title: Will Upgrading Solve These Problems?
Post by: DMark1 on May 03, 2022, 10:09:04 am
Hi, I have been running MC18 for years on a Baetis Audio media server running Windows 7. I understand my setup is relatively ancient now, but I went through a divorce and home theater got put on the back burner for a long time.

Now that I am back to using JRiver, I notice 2 problems - First, MC18 no longer automatically downloads backgrounds, movie posters, and metadata about new movies that I rip from discs...it seems like those databases it pulled from are no longer supported? And secondly, some new movie rips (MKV files) will not play on MC18, but they DO play using VLC media player. Other new mkv rips WILL play using MC18. I don't know why some mkv files play but others don't...? Will upgrading to the current MC29 build solve these 2 problems for me?

I must mention that I am NOT an IT person, so PLEASE keep your responses in layman's terms...I am just a regular Home Theater enthusiast. Thank you!
