Hi all

I just switched from MCE and have a few issues I could use some help with:

1. This is the most important problem: For some reason, MP keeps on switching to the "shares" view in MyMusic, even though no such view is configured in the configurator. I only have a "genre" and "artist" based view configured, and I even set the default view to 135 in the mediaportal.xml, which is the ID of the genre-based view. Yet MP keeps going back to the shares view (for example after bringing the PC out of standby), which takes AGES to load since I have all my MP3s in one folder.

2. All my coverart is stored in ID3 tags, but MP only displays it for about 75% of the files. Are there any special requirements (image format, size etc.) for coverart in ID3 tags in order for MP to display it?

3. The OSD delay (the one used when switching TV channels) keeps going back to the default value of 2sec. I can change it to someting less than that, but as far as I can tell, every time I run the configurator and save the changes, it reverts back to 2s.

Any help on this?

:D

PS: Sorry for not providing all the details above, but I'm writing this in my office so I don't have access to all the specs. Will post later if necessary.

Me again ...

I've run into another issue. I have duplicate entries in my music, regardless of the view used. It looks like this:

Artist X - Song A - 5:31
Artist X - Song A - 4:20
Artist X - Song A - 7:03

The first entry is correct, but the other to are different songs by different artists (and played correctly). Rescanning and reorganizing the DB didn't solve this and I checked the ID3 tags, they're correct.

Anyone?
Thanks
