20.0.123 (6/29/2015)
9. Changed: The Theater View artist image is built from the album artist field instead of the artist field (if it's filled).

As reported in the last release:  http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=98433.msg680721#msg680721

This breaks the online media slideshow in theater view for compilation and soundtrack albums that have Various Artist or (Mulitiple Artist) as the album artist.  It did not fix what it was trying to solve, and it only broke other things.  Please change it back.

Split Remote Problem

[MGD_King]

For some reason, I can't save cover art to tracks that I rip with this build. I can add the artwork using Mp3tag, but when I try to add it using MC (either by searching through the right-click or pasting from clipboard) MC creates a folder.jpg file in the folder that I have set in the settings but the folder.jpg is 0 bytes in size. The tracks that I've tried are MP3 files.

[michaellass]

I have the same problem, like with the previous public release.

When I have in the options at Tools-> Options-> Start up-> Windows Startup->3rd option, that's the Media Server (allows library sharing).

If I run audio or video files from the hard disk, MC is starting on the front, like I think it should, but if I load DVD, MC is asking me if I want to play in the player. I press yes, the playing starts but in the background, so there is no active window, like there is with local files.

[AudioMan612]

I've been having a weird issue since upgrading where JRiver hangs if I try to clear the play queue without stopping what's playing first.  I actually do this quite frequently, so it's a bit annoying.

[AoXoMoXoA]

Although set in options to "Auto size columns", MC does not. I must click on column header and select Auto-size columns" manually.

Also, while set in Options for "Double-click: File Properties", MC will often play the file instead.

[JimH]

If you're using MC as a client, try setting it on the server.

[AoXoMoXoA]

If you're using MC as a client, try setting it on the server.

Nope, using it on the same PC it is installed on.


Also find that changing the "List Style" on one zone affects all zone's display style.

Cannot run with Windows 10 64 bit

[stephane092]

After reinstalling it works.
