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:http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=23311If you want a more trouble-free experience, please download Media Center 10 here:
