The Stars rating is My Movies global data. I'm not sure if it comes from the Movie (likely) or the Disc Title data. I cannot find it in the GUI anymore. It might import from behind the scenes, based upon the IMDB #, but I really don't know exactly how My Movies gets this global value if it isn't ent...

01/01/9999 is a hardcoded value in CMC, used to indicate when the date is missing. This was quite common in the early days of CMC, when we used the My Movies XML files as the data source. The date made it easy to sort all titles by the date, bringing all the problematic titles to the front so you co...

CCC is dependent upon the My Movies API to detect and report the change. Unfortunately, there are bugs in My Movies and it doesn't detect changes in some fields. Your solution to change another field works. Also, another (easier) option is to do a forced export in CCC. To do this, type the title nam...

I would recommend reporting the audio issue on the MPC-BE support page: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/MPC-BE/issues

EDIT: I tested the trailer, and I don't get audio in MPC-BE either.

In MMCM, the YouTube Trailer ID is on the Movie (beneath the Disc Title):

CMC doesn't make any audio settings when it calls MPC-BE, it simply passes the URL and a couple options for full-screen and to close after playback finishes, so it seems like a longshot that CMC is adversely affecting playback. I would recommend you start by verifying the trailer being played for Th...

I can confirm your experience. Since CMC hands off playback to MPC-BE, this means the stuttering issues are between MPC-BE and YouTube. My first thought was that perhaps these trailers are encoded differently, so I checked, and both the Dune 2 and Avatar 2 trailer codecs are the same, av01.0.08M.08(...

I agree 10000%.

Yay, I'm glad the troubleshooting tip helped you. It was an easy guess, as in my experience that General Service crashes way too often. Though to be fair to Binnerup, it's an issue I haven't really seen in years myself. Just a thought - if you didn't stop the General Service, then that means it prob...

While I'm sure that MS is working on a cloud OS solution, I doubt even they would be dumb enough to abandon the huge Windows population that demands a classical on-device local OS. It would be the same type of mistake they made with the X-Box Series X, when they first announced it would be cloud onl...

I read that a few times, and I think it's possible that you've misunderstood what Brian so poorly wrote. It is actually in our plans to remove the support from the Windows side, as it prevents us from using any later .NET Frameworks in our common classes. The .NET framework is primarily a Windows fr...
