Right. Version 2.0 of YME, umm..., YMJ came out yesterday and I got a few questions on whether the remote still works. Short: Yes. No problems here.

Then the bad news: I had problems installing it on Windows Server 2003 (see my other blog for info here) and on one Windows XP (Tablet actually) it just bloody won't play anything, not even MP3s. It also crashes and gives weird error messages. Now that being said, I've had all sorts of stuff on the machine such as beta versions of Windows Media Player 11 and IE 7 (several versions). I'm still trying to figure out what is the real cause. In short: Feel free to upgrade, the remote works, but no guarantees on YMJ (end disclaimer). And you'll need to reboot at the end of the installation. Yuck.

UPDATE: I figured out why it wouldn't play on the Q1. I had some non-standard codecs installed on my machine (some all-in-one pack with DivX etc). Once I uninstalled them YMJ worked as it should.
