Title: Media center backround process
Post by: stanzani on January 05, 2018, 08:18:26 am
From time to time, most often after closing the Media Center during challanging internet connection or DSP task, a background process named 'Media Center' is left dangling in the task manager and I have to terminate it manually before i can successfully run media center again.

This is a bit annoying but doable for users with some PC experience but for basic user? I think they need to restart the full PC before they can use JRiver again

is anybody experiencing this?
thanks

You just need to give it a bit more time to close on it's own, or you may have the server set to start on windows start up and in that case the server won't shut down by just closing MC. there may be a setting to close the server in that fashion tho....

In particular when you start using MC for the first time on a large music library, it needs to analyze all the tracks and build thumbnails etc. It does this in the background, and it may hold the process open even if you “close” the application. Once it has done all that the first time, it will close much faster thereafter. So just give it enough time (at first it may need tens of minutes, if not hours..)..
