Media Center and Windows 10 problems
« on: September 30, 2016, 11:11:02 am »

Hi all:
Since I have installed MC 22 on my Windows 10 Laptop, I am getting problems. The more annoying is that when I am playing music (the usual way, through a USM connected to a DAC, quite a few times it stops the music without any reason. Worst than that, the program stops to respond and I can't do anything, even close it. So, I get stocked and have to wait a lot for the program to restart working.
I still have MC 21 and there is any problem.
My library didn't import all the disk images and, even if they appear on "get from the internet", they don't go to it place.
I have restarted Windows, Media Center, but nothing solves the problems.
Please let me know what to do, once I am not happy with the actual situation
Kind regards,

Joao

No one?
Another problem: The music that is being played stops quite some seconds often and restarts some seconds after.
More and more annoying.
Please help.

Antivirus software could do that.

Try turning off auto import and analysis.

Thank you very much Jim.
I am going to do what you propose and will come back.
By the way, my anti virus is the latest Norton and it says that he doesn't recognize Media Center Signature, but doesn't interfere with downloads.

Kind regards,

Joao

Installing MC 22 doesn't automatically import your MC 21 library. You did mention your library import, but it's not clear to me if you thought it would happen during the upgrade, or if you did it yourself after the upgrade. If you did not do it yourself it needs to be done. That would explain your missing album covers, and might also fix your other problems. MC 22 might be trying to analyze all your old audio files, and this process uses a lot of your CPU power and can slow down everything else.

You can restore a backup from MC21.  MC makes them automatically as zip files.
