Hi SpudR,
Don't read to much into the screenshots I always test on these artists as it is the only music I have on my development PC So it was old habit that made me use these here as well.
cheers

Hi Cul8er.
Can confirm the above mentioned bugs that "ysmp" collected - Same in B3W - Even have same log errors.
Tested on 2 X MP RC4 - It works, but I only get sound on one of them!?!?
Both have HDMI - On the PC that did not work, i tried switching to analog sound, but without any luck.
Even a total reinstallation of RC4+MYSQL+Folders does not solve it.
On this machine it gives me a pop-up box when entergin Grooveshark plugin(see attachment)
Will keep testing for further design flaws meanwhile...........

Both is running Windows 7 with all updates enabled.
Have tried both to change Codec/renderer outpu and HDMI, analog speakers+headset - MP sounds works, but no grooveshark sound
Only difference 2 these setup is SAF codec on the working PC.......I'll try to see if that have any difference to this one........
UPDATE: The installation of SAF 5.0 does not fix it.

Bugs:
1) Making 2nd Search does not display "Buffering" icon.
2)When navigation to end of Search list, cursor jumps to Playlist
3)When deleting songs from playlist with several pages, the "1/4" does not update accordingly
4)Arrange arrows does not keep focus - (When arranging a song, the cursor jumps to song name)
5)Cannot delete playlists.
6) Default playlist name is MPGDefault - (Playlist not created by user - why have it? If it is a MUST, then rename)
Design flaws:
1) When adding songs from search list, you generate an "Add to playlist" pop-up - This should be changed, so that when you click on a song, it gets added to the playlist instantly. This makes navigation much quicker - To solve the "Add all songs" , make a "Add All" button in top of Search list instead
2) Playlist icons have wrong size(Height/width)
3) Background images is set to be "streched" - This is in some cases awful to look at - Images with higher or better height/width resolution should be used.
4) Mediaportal in window mode generates Playlist popup, when resizing MP window
5) Mediaportal in window mode have mouse issues when hovering plugin
Feature suggestion:
1) Playlist should be moved further up in design - This will allow longer playlist, and easier way of arranging songs.
2) Search list could also be longer - Both can be solved with a certical search/playlist splitscreen
3) "Add to top"-icon on playlist arrange buttons. (Easy way to get newly added song to top of playlist)
4) Buy album link (search string fo cdwow/amazon or similar)
5) Buffer next song before end of now playing son (Shorter wait time between songs.....maybe even fade effect can be added?)
Thats it for tonight......will keep to find as many flaws as possible the next couple of days.
But have to say, it is already looking VERY promising........Nice work Cul8er :0)
