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. 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

- 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

- Pane auto-sizing
- Tile view that allows fully customizable Track Info style tiles to be used in file lists

- 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 playback support
- Audio resampling uses Shibatch's high-quality SSRC filters

Still not quite right on the mode change - mode will change but the icon won't highlight till I put the cursor over it a second time.
-
Still having a problem with video.
I have two libraries in MC10 which I backup and then restore in MC11 to keep it updated. One library is audio and video, the other is just video.
The audio/video library has no problems so far but when I load the video library I get first a 'load failed' message followed by 'Failed to load file association file'. Click OK and MC11 closes.

Bug: Mouse pointer doesn't autohide in Theater View.

On a happier note, iPod synching is just kick-ass again. Thanks guys...I know we've been a hassle.

Ditto,
iPod syncing is working for me now too.
Thanks Steve (and the others) you're doing a fantastic job!
Merry Xmas and I trust you have a safe and prosperous New Year

iPod is back to synching, but not the Last Played data. Yes, I have the "Synch Data to MC" and "Store in File Tags (when possible)" checked.

Found a right click bug. Select an album then choose File Properties, Image on the left below the tree. Right click and choose From Internet works the first time. The second time when I right click there nothing happens. This also happened in build 160.
