Hi there.
I’ve just installed Windows 10 (14316.1000.160402-2217.RS1, 64bit) on my new laptop, and thought I might give JRiver MC a go to see how it works on this new Win 10 release.
I installed MC version v21.0.81 as a trial. Imported my music collection (some 900+ mp3 albums) without problem. Then tried importing my videos (35 mkv files ranging between 8 and 38GB in size), also all from my (internal) D: partition.
MC21 took about 14 minutes before it “discovered” the mkv files, and another 32 (!!!) minutes before loading the video files into its library. ?Somehow I’d like to think this is not the normal behavior of MC21 on Windows 10, but hope to get some recommendations here.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix the problem, please? On my Windows 7 setup (32bit) I’m still using my old MC18 setup, which works pretty ok.
So anyway, I made an Acronis image backup of the new Win 10 install, uninstalled MC21 (including left-over registry settings), and installed my old MC18 version on Win 10.
Hmm, same issue: no problems importing mp3’s, but just as ridiculously slow on importing mkv video files. So, big question: what to do? Is this a Windows 10 issue? Is there a suggested solution, please? On a by-note: I was hesitating to install this Windows 10 version since my previous experience (some 12 months ago) with this puppy weren’t the best. But, I gotta say, this Redstone Release 1, seems extremely stable and solid, and works A-Ok with everything else installed. No driver issues, no BSOD’s, just solid and fast.
Cheers and thanks for all help and suggestions.
