New Version of Media Browser Available

Looks like this is a very minor update, but an update nonetheless. I thought there was a "big" update coming 10/22, must be a big release with a price tag....

As always it's your feedback that drives this product, so don't be shy let us know what you think.
 
This actually fixed a few problems I had with media browser.

The biggest one was that it would never create the icon anywhere in media center. There was a reg and batch file that was floating around their forums that wouldn't even work. I installed, reinstalled, uninstalled and reinstalled -- nothing. One install from this version and it showed up.

I also had some problems with a few of my media files. They would completely crash media browser when it was starting up. I had slowly eliminated my directories and found which ones. As I put them all back this time, it worked. It had some problems with those files still, but it didn't crash the app.
 
well it is a lot faster,,,,,,,, but man it would not refresh all of my metadata including my DVD cover art.

I had to clear cashe, still didnt work, then cleared the image_cashe folder in the MB dir.

then it finally worked... i upgraded, dont know if this is the same for those of you who did clean install.

It also deleted 2 of my VF and i had to redo them for them to show up.

there is also an issue with the plugins not showing up correctly....

lame that our "update" has soooo many issues. oh well cant complain while it is still free
