Help pls,  Since installing V108 & now with V109 I have a major problem.

When i start MC I get the following message.

Media Center failed to load the specified library.  It will revert to the default library.

I hit OK


It then says "Media Center Failed to load any library.  this is a critical error, and the program must stop running.  Please reinstall the latest version.

I hit OK


I then get a Windows Box which says "Media Core has encountered a rpoblem and needs to close"

The ONLY way I can get into MC is to start and run is to restore one of my old library backup.  Reinstalling the latest version does NOT work and just gives the same error.

However this only works for 1 instance.  the next time i start my PC and run MC I have to do the same again.

In addition to this when i installed build 106 or 107 I lo0st my registration info, even thought the build was installed over the top.  I had to reinstall my .mjr file.  Only a minor inconvienience but a bit odd all the same.

Please help as currently I cannot really do much work on my library for fear of loosing things.

Cheers

Graham

you might want to start a new thread.

you also might want to uninstall MC9 and reinstall

or delete the library files and restart MC

On my Audigy Platinum EX I hear both tracks in both zones at the same time when I try to play one track to the front speakers (coax digital, Zone 1) and one track to the rear speakers (analogue Zone 6). My C-Media didn't work, since they need to be in 2 channel mode to have digital output.

King I will start a new thread if necessary, however I do not belive i ought to, this is bug that has occured purely as a result of an upgrade to the specified versions.  Others may be experiencing it.

I have deleted library files and tried that. to no avail.

However I have not uninstalled MC as each time i do that i loose all of the work i have dojne with Playlists and Smartlists, and I hate having to do it all again.

However if that is the only way?

[graham131]

Another possible bug.   The new Email / Send to feature.

Its great and works ......however.......

If I send a file with it to a friend for example MC takes control of itself until the file is sent.  ie you can do nothing else with MC until the file has left the "outbox"

I use Outlook 2002.  My MJ is latest version. etc

Just thought i would mention it.

However if you send the same file using Outlook insert file you can "obviously" use MC as normal.

Also interestingly when you sent the file from within MC it is quite significantly larger in size (the email that is) than if you send it directly from Outlook.

try it and see

Thanks

Graham

I have done as you suggested King, so now I have 2 chances of a resolution?

As Graham noted, sending a file by email from within MC freezes program till it clears the Outbox.

Also: Ripped a CD while MC was playing files. No problems either with playback or encoding (mp3 VBR with plug-in). Closed out when rip finished and tray opened.

After 5 minutes, checked Task Manager, it shows 2 iterations of MC.exe still open, each sucking up about 30K of memory but only one of which is utilizing the CPU. Unsuccessful in attempting to close out one of them through Task Manager.

Is there any way to have the option to "fill properties from filename" added back to the "import media" wizard, as we used to have in previous versions?

I did a search on this and Matt mentioned in the thread for the 9.0.95 release (http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=beta;action=display;num=1042234426;start=14#14) that "we removed it from import because it seemed silly to put our tools in the import section". I must say I completely disagree with this logic. From a usability standpoint, having to go through two steps to do a process that could be done in one seems to me like a step backwards. If a tool can be used to enhance a user's experience and seems intuitive, then why should it be silly.

Cheers,
Mikus

Hello,

Since version 9.0.8x, I don't remember exactly which one, the COM  Automation Interface doesn't work correctly. This is still the case with version 109 where the following properties of CMJFileAutomation do not work:
Custom1
Custom2
Custom3
Type
Filename (some it works depend on the entry)

Do you have an idea when you plan to fix it ?
Regards
PhDSM

1) I still don't get the ö, é, è etc. Is this just my problem? Because from some other reactions I see that they do not have that problem. I hadn't this problem up til version 0080 or something like that.  
Is in Matt's hands by now, though.
 
2) When sending a mp3 to the Media Editor, I don't get further than the Decoding-box, which doesn't do anything. Was good before version 0080 (or something like that)  
 
3) Slide bars don't work (well) in various playlists. Also: if the slider works, it isn't quick enough. And the up- and down-arrows don't work at all in these playlists.

4) if you want to drag a file within a playlist, the screen runs from the end to the beginning.  
I'll try to explain it a bit: if you have, say, 300 files in a playlist and you want to put number 300 to number 80: when you start dragging you're at position number 1 within 1 second. Some quick jerking with the mouse is required to get to the number 80 position

5) Editing the Name-properties of a jpg or mp3 is very slow responsive (correct English?): when typing the letters appear with quite a delay

I've been getting the same thing with this build also! MC just quits by itself and upon reload, the library is messed up.

I have done as you suggested King, so now I have 2 chances of a resolution?

• deleting a file stops current playing now
• media server: the client hangs retrieving the media library ('progress bar' stays empty and 'cancel' buttom has no effect); yes, both parts use the same build

Please Fix The Problem With MC9 And Converting Wave To MP3 Where MC9 Takes The File Name And Puts It Into The Name Field. The Wave File Is Already Properly Taged And MC9 Always Screws It Up.

Using EAC to get around this problem. Slow, painfully slow, but I don't have MC axe murdering my tags...

Please try the file converter with the next build. Let me know if there are still any tagging problems.

[MachineHead]

JohnT-

The build gonna be out tonight?  

Will test it out when available.

* Broken! Web streaming

This was fixed in 107 but it's broken again in 109.

Streaming MP3 media from http://www.kexp.org/listen/kexp-mp3-96k.pls is broken.  It sounds glitchy and scrambled like like a badly encoded mp3.

* Broken! File associations

MC is still losing most, if not all, of its file associations on a regular basis.  I constantly have to go into the scheduler and hand-select all the filetypes I want to be handled by MC.

? Fixed! RealAudio

For the first time ever, MC is playing a RA stream.

[drosoph]

Can someone confirm:  If I try to perform TRACK LOOKUP on YADB for a couple hundred files (or 80 or so), gives a lockup of MC.

It makes it through a couple dozen .. then just says "Submitting info to YADB" (or something like that) and never comes back ...

Also, I *love* the new pulldown lists in the PROPERTIES pane .. but its DRAMATICALLY slowing down my input.  When typing a song title .. it comes out E -- X -- T -- R -- E -- M -- E -- L -- Y slowly!

[JollyJim]

Is there any way to have the option to "fill properties from filename" added back to the "import media" wizard, as we used to have in previous versions?

I completely agree with Mikus on this one....

Using Drag and Drop in the left side tree.

If I try to move one album from one type, ex Single artists (uncomplete) to Single artist (complete), I received an "Updating database..." confirmation but nothing was done ?
May I miss something!
