Title: New Library View is not being saved when Media Center quits
Post by: matt999 on January 04, 2015, 03:05:52 am

I'm using Media Center 20.0.52 for OSX. I'm connected to a remote library. I'm trying to add a new library view. I can add it, it works as expected, but after I quit Media Center the next time I start up it's not there.

To make sure I'm doing it right, I tried creating a similar view in the Windows version, also using a remote library - it was saved as expected. So this seems to only be affecting the Mac version.

It didn't happen on a local library, only when using the remote library.

Thanks

[Edit: clarify that it's affecting remote library only]

I was wrong, it's not just affecting OSX. It's intermittently affecting both OS X and Windows. Sometimes after restarting my custom views are gone.

After creating your custom view, try:
File / Library / Sync changes with library server

I have the same problem but with a local library. Anytime I add a new library view, it disappears after I close and reopen the program. I'm on 052 and Yosemite.

Clients cannot edit library views on the library server (at least I've never gotten it to stick).  It's one of the things that has to be done on the library server (like changing cover art, or importing, or ripping).

This seemed to work when I created the custom view on the server hosting the remote library. After quitting and re-starting media centre on my desktop, the custom view was there.

Yeah, that was my recollection.  Views can only be edited on the server, not on the clients, but it's a little confusing because the UI will let you edit them on the client, they just don't "stick."
