I've just installed the new version, and i've got no MediaBrowser showing in 7MC (7260 x86) any ideas.

I've uninstalled & re-installed, including deleting the folder in 'Program Data'

 

[DemonSeed]

Oh Thats not good, is it not in the extras library?

 

[Orbital Shark]

No mate, it's nowhere to be found, i've looked in every section.

I've got my mates lappy that i'm fixing & it works fine in Vista

 

[DemonSeed]

And it did install correctly right? The only thing I can think to tell you to try is the the reg key to get it on its own strip in MC or the shortcut to launch straight into MB

Regkey

Download



Shortcut

Download



Try these and see if it will work.

I know this is a dumb question but you did have MC off when you installed it right?

 

[Orbital Shark]

Cheers mate, i'll do that and report back in 2 mins

 

[Orbital Shark]

Just tried it....In this order.

1, Run reg key, Reg key done nothing
2, Run shortcut, shortcut works once in order to get 1st configure screen within MC but never again

I've included some images to help

A, MediaBrowser clearly seen in Extras Library options


B, But not showing in Extras Library


C, After running Shortcut for the second time


I'll state again, it worked under Vista running SP2

 

[DemonSeed]

It works in build 7100 that i am in so the last thing would be a restart and one last try be for I go to the Devs. and start finding out whats next.

Pleas report back so I can help more.

 

[Orbital Shark]

Ok, i'll restart now.

   Note

I done this when I re-installed MB, but not since updating registry

 

[Orbital Shark]

No such luck

Restarted, loaded MC, no MB showing. So run the shortcut & same error as in the 3rd pic above. I can't see why it would be a build issue but i don't have to HD space to set up another partition to get 7100 running. If anyone reading this also as build 7260 could also try the new MB & report back, that'd be great.

Additional: yes MC was off, i never have an app running when installing anything (well, except IE )

 

[DemonSeed]

OK I'm Going To the MB Devs. and will report back.

 

[Orbital Shark]

Cheers mate, and cheers for all your hard work

Might be worth mentioning that build 7260 is a modified VHD but all the files are for 7260

New Version works fine in WMC7 build 7299

I have build 7299 on my main machine and it works fine. x86 version

 

[Orbital Shark]

I have build 7299 on my main machine and it works fine. x86 version

Cheers, is that the new version mentioned a couple of pages back?

 

[Mark]

OK I've tried this update and I don't like this version at all, the layout is not nearly as good as the previous version and you get far less view options to choose from and in certain views you loose the options tab all together which means the only way I can change i now will be to uninstall it.

Thanks anyway but I'm going back to the old version.

 

[DemonSeed]

That would be the diamond theme and all you need to do is push up and the menu will pop up. This version really does have everything and a LOT more from the last version.

Also you can now change your theme and display settings from the config tool in the windows start menu options are under the advance tab under display.

2 things

Play All and Play Random options when you hit play on a folder - I failed to see how to pull that option up.

There is a known bug in Vista SP2 (which you most of you will be running) the stop button doesn't stop videos, instead it freezes a frame. You need to press stop-play-stop now instead of stop, not my fault, take it up with Microsoft. - I have this same problem on build 7127



MrGrim... it will take you atleast a day to swim around and to get used to the temp of the water with MB. Also dont forget for vanilla you have to option to show config button on that theme or have it hidden

I truly wish there was a MB for MP3.... I just started tinkering around with my collection. My Music is an awful handler of a collection. If there could be something implemented like how MB searches for and displays correctly the episodes, #, and title correctly under the correct season/series. Thru My Music if sort by album or artist, it sorts all the "1" first songs labeled "# title of song.mp3" , not by the actual artist or album. And the indexing of it all... dont get me started on how slower than slow it is... below turtle speed, competitive with the slowest of snails, to the point of completely locking up while indexing and "blacking out", but not showing "not responding".

I know there's a plugin music browser, that i havent gotten to use yet, but i read where its interface is that of a file browser, is this true... even tho i'm probably gonna find out for myself in the next hour. I just wanted some feedback on some possible mp3 support in the future.

*had to clean up/edit some

 

[DemonSeed]

Well Orbital Shark the Devs were no help at all in this matter so I am sorry to say I dont know what to do other than going back to the last vershon. Sorry

 

[Orbital Shark]

No problem mate, thanks for the effort though. I'm finding 7260 so stable i'll stick with Yammm until the RTM hits us then i'll run MB too
