Just started demoing the software in the 30 day freebie. So far, it is great!
Plan is to use mostly the TheaterView as part of my HTPC using Girder and a remote. Couple questions.
If I buy v10 now, what is my cost, if any, when v11 comes out. I ask, because I notice that is already in Alpha testing. In other words, does the purchase price include any "upgrade protection".
Second question is in regards to functionality. In TheaterView, I have imported an image directory and can scroll thru the images. But the image always remains in a small window at the bottom left. Any way to have the image being viewed take up more of the screen or the fullscreen? From 10 feet it is barely visible. I would assume so, but coudl not find anything in the Help file. Thanks.

No
I recomend you buy MC11 Now, the dbase is a bit faster. it states Alpha in the forum i think to scare weak users. The program is beta but stable.
I been using it since MJ6 and for the most part the betas are rather stable
MC11 is better now than MC10 (My 2 Cents)
PS: I don't use "TheaterView"

Welcome to Interact.
Explore options in playback settings and explore right click options when in Theater View. Also try F11 and ctrl-w keys.
There is a link to pricing near the top of each MC11 thread.

It's a test of manhood. Or womanhood. Or something.

Jim, do you also recommend MC11? So, I can buy a beta version? I assume that includes the GA once it is available?
EDIT - nevermind ) isee it does. Thanks for the quick help!!

OK, got the F11 working to toggle to TheaterView using the Girder USB-UIRT file found in v10. Very cool! Also got almost everything else working in Girder with one exception.
How (where in the GML file) can I control the browsing thru the playlist and selecting songs or albums while in the TheaterView mode? I do not see any associated commands in the GML for this? I set up cursor control using another GML I had, but have not figuired out how to "select". Ideas?
Unrelated, but is there a way to control which audio and video decoders MC uses. I see it came with it's own set, but can I use others ie: Sonic?
Thanks!

For Girder help, you're better off to start a new thread or use the girder forum. You can find it here:
