Welcome to the the TDL Awards show. At the end of last year you voted for your favourite Media Center apps and answered questions on your digital lifestyle so this week Missing Remote’s Mike Garcen joins me to reveal the winners and to talk about some of the statistics from the votes.
The categories where:
- Best free Windows Media Center application
- Best commercial Windows Media Center application
- Best media management application
- Best integration tool
Mike and I discuss the results and find out stats like what percentage of voters use Windows Home Server, how many are running Extenders and how many of you have switched to Windows 7.Thanks to everybody that voted and that sent in the nominations.
I also have a roundup of the weeks news, I will post the details of the winners on my blog later.

Ian I’ve also got two new videos up on You Tube showing this problem with the Music Library freaking out! See here:

Oh those were the videos you were referring too! We might have a work around:
I tried the suggestion made by jaggedaz turning off Media Sharing and also disabling the “Maintain my star ratings as global ratings in files” setting in WMP12. I did that remotely on all the 7MC clients at one of these sites. Went there this afternoon and now none of them are showing this behaviour of the Music Library rebuilding. I rebooted the 7MC PC’s tried going in and out of the Music Library several times and they all worked perfectly. I can’t say for sure this issue has been fully resolved by this work around but it does certainly seemed to have improved things from what I’ve seen today.
