We're still working on Media Center 11. We appreciate your feedback on it, but MC11 may not work as expected and we can't yet fully support it. When upgrading from MC 10, you will lose your view schemes. Some plugins still do not work.
We recommend that you use MC10 below, but if you want to use MC 11 while we're building it, PRICES are here:

MC 11 Improvements

- Many Theater View enhancements
- Animated Direct3D file browsing
- Split views so you can look at two (or more) views at the same time (ex. look at Media Library and Playing Now together)
- Vastly improved database engine capable of handling 100,000's of files and large amounts of metadata (lyrics, bios, etc.)
- Several memory and speed enhancements -- like database and skin unloading when minimizing MC
- Much of MC's interface can be translated to other languages
- Integrated database import and update with smart broken linking repairing, and other nice features
- MC can run with guest permissions on Windows 2000 / Windows XP
- New view customization system with more flexibility for thumbnail size, text, etc.
- Options dialogs reworked -- several small options added
- Added multi-zone synchronization
- Added Album Gain support
- Document support with full text searching / indexing
- Pane auto-sizing
- Tile view that allows fully customizable Track Info style tiles to be used in file lists
- New database caching layer that makes a huge speed difference in many areas of MC
- File tagging happens in a background thread so MC can continue to be used while it's saving tags
- Basic image editing
- Enhanced album grouping for pictures so pictures taken together get grouped without any user intervention
- Preview mode to only play the intro of songs
- Video CD support

there is 35,000 MP3s in this library
as you can see in the tree Media Library is selected
i searched for "RED"
and came up with RED skelton shows
I delete "RED" in the search box
I still have Red skelton shows and
the 35,000 shows do not show back up like it did in MC9 and MC10
The only way to get back the list of media files is to click on playing now or something else and then back on Media Library.
is this the way it works now?
PS: after this happens, it is hard to resize MC by pulling and draging the sides.

I played around with this a bit...
If I type Iron Ma , It lists all the songs that it is supposed to, when I clear the box, it lists all the library.
If I type Iron Maiden, It will list all the songs, when I clear the search box, it does not re list all the album, It looks like if you type in a album or band, it will react the same way as if you selected it in the pane...
I do not think that it should work this way.

I also think it does not happen every time.
-
1) Theater View - If I start playing something in a first zone and switch to another zone, the visualization window is still shown for the first zone and does not go away. This is a problem because I have repositioned the visualization window and it obscures the buttons on the home page when I try to select something for the second zone.
2) I have a visualization that shows REMAINING_TIME and have the "gapless" playback mode. The visualization switches to the next track before the first one is done and shows some weird text for the remaining time for the few seconds before the next track starts. Sometimes it shows something like "-0:-16" and other times it "counts down" from 0:30 but never reaches 0 of course.

Right clicking ANYWHERE crashes my MC on my theater pc. Single files or multiples.
Using a library restored from a v10 backup.
Haven't tried it with a fresh library.

The X-10 MP3 remote DOES work. I am such a dope... I forgot to re-learn the keys on the remote... Duh!

Thanks Matt for both! You guys are the best!

Matt,
Clicking or hovering over "Edit" will crash MC11.0.83 everytime...

I too get the right click crash, for pretty much everything.

I get the right click crash clicking with something selected. MC just "disappears".
