[whoareyou]

Is it possible for you to upload one of those files for testing please? PM me with a link. Also can you please zip the wav prior to upload, much smaller file then.

You have message. Thanks!

What version of MMH are you using?

I am sorry. It's all working now. I re-read the manual and found out that I had set a wrong DEE location.

Hey Garry,

On the latest beta, my settings have all reset, and I'm having trouble recreating the setup for JRiver tagging. I see that I needed to reselect "JRiver Tagging" in preferences, but now it's generating both "mka_JRSidecar.xml" files and ".xml" files for each track. It's also generating a .xml file for the original mkv. Have I done something wrong?

May I suggest an improvement? Or, at least, what I think could be an improvement?

The Extract Audio from MKV tool starts extracting as soon as you drag and drop a file to it. I suppose a confirmation dialog could save unwanted files creation. I keep forgetting to set it up before dragging and dropping because other tools in MMH do not work like this.

I’ll take a look. Also I should be able to get MMH9 to copy MMH8 preferences in next beta,

Thanks! Do my preferences from MMH8 still exist if I've installed MMH9? I'm not too terribly Windows savvy, so I'm not sure where they would be stored.

EDIT: Never mind, I think I found it. It's extra confusing since I'm using Parallels on Mac.

Yes. MMH 8 and MMH 9 are totally independent. (but Settings are stored in Isolated Storage - see below)

I have just added to MMH code to upgrade MMH 8 settings to MMH 9 settings and changed the location of the settings file from Windows Isolated Storage to the user's 'Music Media Helper' folder in AppData. So it can be easily found by users (and me). The new code should also copy a users MMH 8 settings even if they have already used a MMH 9 beta (it will overwrite current MMH 9 settings with MMH 8 settings).

Isolated Storage was code I used from back in 2012 and its just stayed in all my code since. It stores data in randomly named (for obfuscation) multiple level sub-folders to confuse users (and developers). Now gone in next MMH 9 beta.

The naming is random enough MMH doesn't even now where the folder is (Isolated Storage is a Windows library). I just call the code and it creates/save/reads from my setting.xml file, directly location invisible to MMH). The original idea was to stop users from mucking with the settings file, causing bugs for me to chase. But it was overkill!
