MediaCentral Troubleshooting ReportDANGER! - Version: 2.6.3, 2/28/2008 11:37AM PST

The updater managed to move my ~/Library into the old MediaCentral.app in the trash! As it was hidden in the app, didn't notice anything wrong with the trash until I started emptying it. I stopped the process once I noted a few items were requesting to be trashed that shouldn't have. Then applications started acting wierd and finally I noticed what MediaCentral had done.

I was able to replace some stuff, but now half of my library has been trashed.
Great, now I've lost my keychain, and additionally am having to enter in passwords for every app that needs ones, and having to redig up serial numbers for tons of apps, let alone how many I'm going to have to now reinstall.

Really sucks. If you bother with this program, BEWARE and watch closely what it does. "Show Package Contents" on the app it moves to the trash.

MediaCentral CommentaryThere are two things that are holding me back... - Version: 2.6.3, 1/30/2008 12:00AM PST

...from getting this app.

I should say that the look, functionality, and ability to customize are just great!

The 2 things are:

1. The lack of being able to adjust the amount of seconds/minutes it jumps to when you rewind/FF. It jumps forward like 3 minutes...I would want it to FF like 30 seconds, or better yet just scrub through quickly 1 second at a time.

and

2. Any video content that I play, QT, avi, DIVX, stutters every few seconds. Unacceptable.
This may be due to the size of the monitor (30"), but I don't see that entering into the equation here...video NEVER stutters under any other apps, so, a bit puzzled.

Any ideas?

Thank you.
