Title: stop MC from stalling from inserted CDs
Post by: patented_licks on October 05, 2019, 05:45:55 pm: Is there some way to stop MC from stalling because a CD has been inserted - to take no notice of inserted CDs?

That's a Windows problem, I believe.

JRiver could use a separate process or thread for cdrom i/o so that the user interface is not blocked.

I don't know about w10 or MC. if I had more info on your set up. I do know W7 in control panel it's called AutoPlay, changing settings here should help....good luck

Post by: Matt on October 07, 2019, 11:52:03 am: We tried making filling the audio CD in views threaded, but then people started reporting ripping problems (that we couldn't reproduce) so the change was reverted.

25.0.15 (3/20/2019)

NEW: Threaded the file gathering for CD list controls.

25.0.34 (5/2/2019)

Changed: Turned off the threaded update for CD lists to see if it helps with the CD ripping problems (please report).

Post by: AlanDistro on October 07, 2019, 01:09:34 pm: This also happens when inserting a Blu-Ray, just FYI. I've been ripping a few of my new purchases for my HTPC using MakeMKV and every time I put a new disk in, JRiver hangs for 10-20 seconds while it analyses a disc I don't want it to do anything with. Very annoying.
