Fingers crossed, hope it goes well. Looking forward to the results. Probably the biggest hurdle will be different codecs. The more advanced codecs, the ones that makes the smallest files, take more horsepower to decode and playback. So you may find the results vary with different sources, depending ...

Yep, agreed, I never liked that they had multiple install folder names based upon the bit-version installed, especially when they were already going into different paths anyway (Program Files (x86) vs Program Files). Seemed convoluted. Hopefully this is just them finally cleaning up that logic.

Okay, I've added additional debug logging to v7.1 RC2. I've also added new logic to try using the Series' Disc Runtime if the Serie's Original Runtime is too small (i.e. zero). So the selection order will be: Actual Episode Runtime Series Original Runtime (typically 30 or 60 min) Series Disc Runtime...

I checked, and "C:\Program Files\MPC-BE\mpc-be64.exe" is a combo I've not seen before. Currently, CMC checks for: "C:\Program Files\MPC-BE x64\mpc-be64.exe" "C:\Program Files\MPC-BE\mpc-be.exe" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MPC-BE\mpc-be.exe" So CMC looks for mpc-be...

Is that UHD 630 a minimum requirement for DVDS, or Blu-rays, or 4K UHD?

Careful, such a low end PC may not have the horsepower for HTPC duty. While it may have 4K display support, that just means it can connect to a 4K display and output a desktop at that resolution. It does not guarantee that it will be able to play 4K movies - in fact I'd be surprised if it could. If ...

The problem is that the MPC-BE executable was not found.

Please post the path to the MPC executable so I can determine why it wasn't found.

I'll have to look closer at the IMDB data and terms of use. There may be a way it can be used. I've been thinking about different ideas on how to incorporate external metadata into CMC, and some of those ideas may be more compatible with IMDB. I can't say how MM is allowed to use it, I'm not privy o...

I've posted a question on TMDB's support forum, asking if and how I could use their People data in CMC:

I did find my notes, and TheMovieDB.org was my leading candidate for metadata. Our fellow CMC user Jamie did most of the research for me, and he found this gem. They do have an API, and here are their API Terms of Use . I'm not sure if that's a home-run, though, since one of their restrictions prohi...
