Can you reproduce this or is this just randomly resetting some things? Do you have any players that are connected to that library that run all the time? I had a problem once with playlists getting overwritten randomly and the songs I just added disappearing. Turned out that another client that I had always running overwrote the changes I made.

Thanks Max - I'll do some more digging and see if I can reproduce the issue, including in circumstances other than I've outlined below. Yes, I have two raspberrypis running continuously with similar settings. There's also four other J River clients running on the network - two windows and two mac - so it could be some other odd syncing issue as well.

If all of the “JRiver servers” were inaccessible, could i still run Media Center and at a min. browse my library and play audio and video files? 

(i know i could just pull the ethernet cable and test…. but is there any periodic contact with JRiver needed to revalidate a license?)

Got it and reproduced the issue.
Trying to figure out why it's happening but where it's happening is opon handling the cover art filename for some files.

Is it possible that something other than MC added the Cover Art for some of the tracks?

If there is any way of finding out which Albums/Tracks cause MC to crash try deleting the cover art for each album/file and then use only MC or Finder to obtain replacement images.

I have deleted VLC, HBO Max and Stremio, and the app still crashes when changing list style to Album Thumbnails. There isn't anything else that comes to mind. I don't necessarily use this Album Thumbnails view by the way, I incidentally clicked on it when I tried changing the list view.

It is the same library, save for a few newly added albums. I could try reproducing the same problem with the original library. I don’t know what live555 is, I googled it and it doesn’t seem like anything I use.

It probably came with some application you installed and it may be the cause of the problem.

Take a look at the software mentioned to see if you recognize anything.

Media Server Access Keys

What does the loss of this actually mean? An existing media server access key will be revoked?

No.

Is this the same library you sent me? I don't get the crash. It looks like something to do with live555

It is the same library, save for a few newly added albums. I could try reproducing the same problem with the original library. I don’t know what live555 is, I googled it and it doesn’t seem like anything I use. My usage of MC is very basic; I have music files on an HDD and I organise and play them directly from the drive through MC. I don’t make use of complex playback mechanisms or servers.

Hi Max,
I'm having an odd issue with my docker instance not saving customisations. Each time I upgrade the container to a new MC32 version the customisations disappear (I've noticed it with the file info panel in Theater View, but it may be happening elsewhere). Everything else is fine. Config and library are mounted from local folders that are mapped to the container.
If you have any thoughts that would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again for your work - the container solution works fabulously on the QNAP.

hmm..  ok - the files in question play fine in any other player I have (VLC, Mo 4 Media, Media Center, InFuse).  Only JRemote is a problem.

I could trim a file down to a small size and send you a clip if that would help triage.

Sure, if you can cut one down and still get it to fail you can send it to
