Title: 64 bit version
Post by: greatgreyowl on December 31, 2017, 11:40:02 am

1) Not sure if I previously installed the 64 bit version? I am guessing it will say something different in the Help-About Media Center screen?
2) If I install the 64 bit version, will I lose any customizations I have made to the Theater View-Playing Now-INFO & List tabs?

1) Yes
2) No (as far as I know)

The help about screen will identify 64 bit after the version number, but only reports the version number on the 32 bit version.

As mentioned, it will say 64-bit at the top in the Help > About dialog window, next to the version number.

I think I found an issue between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions.  I upgraded to 64-bit on my library server and tried to play an mms:// stream and got "Something went wrong with Playback". Installed the 32 bit version again and it works fine.

Any ideas?

There's still some features and things missing from the 64-bit builds for Windows, handheld support being one of them. Not sure about mms:// streams though, maybe Jim/Matt/Hendrik knows?

Likewise if you're using an AISO driver for audio output, make sure there's a 64-bit version of the ASIO driver available from your sound card/DAC manufacturer otherwise it likely won't work with the 64-bit Windows build.

Sorry if this has been covered, is there any significant advantage in running the 64 but version as opposed to the 32bit?

There's benefits to playing back 4K video, for example.

Ok, but I'm using MC22 32bit and it plays uhd just fine?
