INTERACT FORUM

I have the same question:

Wow! 10 years to the day since this thread was opened.

Basically, how do I take a single track or an album and add it to an existing playlist?  Either while playing or not.  Currently on Media Center 31 on a Windows 11 machine. JRemote is on both an iPhone 12 and an iPad 9, each with up-to-date iOS.

I see a reference to a "'Default tap mode'. This is the small "=>" icon visible in any file view." Does this still exist? If so, maybe someone could post a screenshot highlighting it for me.

Edit - I have now found the Default tap mode icon on my iPhone. It was hidden behind a display showing me the album playing. Still haven't found it on the iPad.  And of course, it doesn't solve my problem.

Also, I have found that when I try to delete a playlist with swipe left, nothing happens.

hallo, schwierig, die spontan einzige Möglichkeit die ich kenne ist pro Film als mkv eine feste Tonspur zuweisen, d.h.
1) mittels zB makemkv als mkv Datei eben von DVD oder BD Disc runterziehen. Schon dort kann man die Tonspuren auswählen die man haben will, ich zB nur Deutsch (verkleinert dann auch die Datei), und ja, ist legal mit makemkv (anderes Thema),
2) mit zB Software Subtitle Edit die Tonspur suchen die man final haben will (ich zB suche dann die Tonspur mit erklärende Untertitel) - Schritt 2 kann man weglassen - und dann
3) mit Software MKVToolNix dann final muxen, also dort sagen, welche Tonspur man als Standard haben will oder bei mir wegen Pkt. 2 als "erzwungenen Untertitel" weil ja jede Abspielsoftware diese Dinge teils anders handhabt (also ich nehm dann eine Tonspur und sage der Software was a) Standard Tonspur und 2) ggf. erzwungener Untertitel ist und mache dann entspr. einen Haken dran.

D.h. man müsste dann mit Filmbeginn die entspr. Tonspur auswählen, aber ob das funzt weiß ich nicht da ich nur Deutsch verwende.

Das macht man einmal und gut. Empfehle von den Filmen Sicherungskopien zu machen, weil es ärgerlich ist wenn Filme weg sind, weil zB HDD defekt oder sonstwas.

hallo, jede Software arbeitet anders, aber in Film-Folder bei JRiver die Bilddatei als jpg mit Namen folder.jpg abspeichern. Beim Einlesen in die Film-Bibliothek wird dann automatisch das Bild als Poster erkannt.

Andere Software arbeiten anders, häufig dann Film- oder Verzeichnis-Namen mit Endung [Name]-poster.jpg abspeichern.

Als Konsequenz habe ich dann zwangsläufig Poster zweimal drin weil ich unterschiedliche Software nutze, aktuell JRiver nur als Bibliothek und als Abspielsoftware nutze ich eben was anderes.

I just tried .41 and still get hangs (Mac Min M4 with NAS) when I leave MC idle for a few hours --- I'm wondering if you let MC running in memory or do you exit it and restart.

I leave the MC server running by doing <File><Exit>

Oooooh, this looks really good and is a good fit! Thanks!

I have created a Custom view where I display my albums by Title Sort order (See Screenshot1)

They do not appear in this order as "Christmas" should come before "Christmas Wonderland" (See Screenshot2)

Am I missing something?

I still think an encoder is going to be needed if you want to pause, record etc.  That uncompressed video stream bitrate is too high to write out to disc effectively and the resultant file is full of dropped frames.

Background:  With few exceptions, the Options Tree submenus (right panel) always open in a fully expanded state.  When adjusting just a few specific parameters, this action is cumbersome, especially for Option Categories which require a scrollbar hunt.  It’s often difficult to see the forest for the trees (of course the Search is a valuable help, but still...).  Currently, LMB on any submenu heading immediately collapses that submenu, which is very useful.  However the user must still march through individual submenus to close them one at a time whenever the Options Popup is reopened.

Requests:
(1) Please provide a way to easily Expand All/ Collapse All Option Submenus, on a per category basis.  It would be great to have something like MC’s main Tree, where RMB on the top level of any listed item (such as an Audio View) brings up an Expand/Collapse menu option.  In an analog for the Options Popup, RMB on a left panel category heading would bring up similar menu lines affecting the right panel display for that category.  Naturally this also begs for "Expand All" and "Collapse All", acting across all categories in one fell swoop!

(2) Once a user has set up a combination of expanded and collapsed submenus per left panel categories, MC should render that view every time the Options Popup is closed and reopened, until user modifies the display.  It's OK to fully expand most submenus (current behavior) as the default when user has not collapsed them.

Examples:  Attachments show Fully Expanded, Fully Collapsed, and Partially Expanded option submenus.  These states should be easy to set up and should be remembered.

Thanks, Mark!
