Now Playing
« on: October 28, 2005, 05:52:28 pm »
I am using Media Center 11 trial version; of all the media players i have looked at this seems to be the best
I am having three problems as of now

1. In theater view, in the NOW PLAYING window or when in the VIEW FILES window, clicking on a file gives a menu, with ADD, PLAY, SELECT, REMOVE and CANCEL; when i click on "ADD" what i am expecting is that the particular file will be qued in the current play list and will be played when he currently playing file is  finished; what actually happens is that  the added file starts to play immediately; is this how ADD is implemented or am I doing something wrong? is there any way to make sure that ADD means play  the added file after playing the current file?
2.In the thumbnails display view, the files names get auto shortened and are not displayed in their entireity because the font size is too big to fit under the thumbnail; is there any way to make sure that the entire filename will be displayed under the thumbnail, adjusting font size?
3.In the display view the same problem as above happens with artist names; is there any way to display the artist name in full?
Any help with these problems will be much appreciated since i am seriously considering buying the program if these minor annoyances can be sorted out

I don't know why MC plays the files when using add, i always have to hit stop. I don't think you can just add without playing, i always scrached my head on that one.

tools > options > General > behaviour > start playing when files added to playing now

does this setting not apply to theatre view?

The check is in the mail.

I flew down to Lincoln, NE today to see my 85 year old mom.  She was glad to see me.  I was glad to see her.
