<br />
<br />
'''25.0.110 (10/3/2019)'''<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''25.0.109 (10/2/2019)'''<br />
<br />
1. Fixed: The maximum encode size wasn't being passed as an int64 so it could overflow on big files and cause encoding to fail.<br />

<br />
<br />

<br />
1. Fixed: We were not passing the array of files into the expression for thumbnails so things like GroupCount(...) were not working properly.<br />

<br />

<br />
Changed: Some internal changes like the handling of video analysis.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''25.0.103 (9/23/2019)'''<br />
<br />

9. NEW: Added the PNPosition and PNCount variables to the expression used for status bar customization.<br />

<br />
<br />
'''25.0.84 (7/29/2019)'''<br />
<br />
1. Changed: Re-implemented TV channel to xmltv ID matching routine for DVB channels as well as OpenCABLE and STB channels. The more elaborate methods hopefully will improve matching accuracy, especially for DVB channels.<br />
2. NEW: Added the option to stop after a delay (for going to sleep). Look at Player > More Stop.<br />
3. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 surround channel in 2.1 or 3.1 output mode could result in some channel being lost, instead of being downmixed properly.<br />

12. Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)<br />

14. Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).<br />

2. NEW: Added File > Export All to iTunes & iPhone to export your entire library instead of just a single playlist.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.<br />
4. Changed: When you said to keep five downloads, it would keep five then download a sixth. Now it prunes to four before starting the download.<br />
5. Changed: The mode selection page on TV Recording setup wizard is also put inside a scrolling container to ensure all controls can be seen.<br />

14. Fixed: Uninstalling a DSP plugin could crash.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''25.0.80 (7/17/2019)'''<br />
<br />
1. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).<br />
2. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.<br />
3. Changed: TV recording setup wizard window size has been changed, so it is wider and shorter, to avoid scaling issues on some monitors.<br />

2. Fixed: The WDM driver could not be installed on a 64-bit OS when using a 32-bit MC installed in a path with parentheses in it.


25.0.114 (10/14/2019)

1. NEW: Added channels to Radio Paradise in Theater View (both streaming and adding Radio Paradise individually).
2. Fixed: Webservice calls to get a stack image could cause a crash if the folder was empty.


25.0.113 (10/4/2019)

1. Fixed: DVB TV channels did not play.


25.0.112 (10/4/2019)

25.0.110 (10/3/2019)

1. Changed: The disc count and HDCD tools are stopped at shutdown instead of blocking shutdown.
2. Fixed: Dragging and dropping list items in the Tag window did not flag the data as dirty so the change would be discarded.
3. Changed: If TreePath, Device, or Search is specified on the command line, the control and shift checks for filtering the media type will be disabled.


25.0.109 (10/2/2019)

1. Fixed: The maximum encode size wasn't being passed as an int64 so it could overflow on big files and cause encoding to fail.
2. Fixed: Doing "Paste All From Clipboard" on a list editor in the Tag window would not reliably save the data.
3. Fixed: Editing tags in a popup would not mark them as dirty so they would not be saved.
4. Fixed: The "Show Files In Subfolders" checkbox was not working.


25.0.108 (9/30/2019)

1. Fixed: SRT subtitles could appear multiple times in the menu.
2. Changed: Made the disc count algorithm count actual discs instead of take the max disc number.
3. Changed: Made the maximum allowable size of a Podcast larger because we found real world Podcasts larger than our previous cap size.


25.0.107 (9/27/2019)

1. Fixed: Undid the "All channels" handling in the Parametric Equalizer volume and mute filters because it was causing all channels to be processed even if only selected ones were checked.


25.0.106 (9/25/2019)

1. Fixed: We were not passing the array of files into the expression for thumbnails so things like GroupCount(...) were not working properly.

3. Changed: When playing to the WDM driver, Media Center will no longer jump to Playing Now (even if it's set to).
4. NEW: Made the program go through and update the 'Total Discs' for all the files in the library at startup (files not marked dirty, so shouldn't cause tagging).


25.0.104 (9/23/2019)

Changed: Some internal changes like the handling of video analysis.


25.0.103 (9/23/2019)

1. NEW: Calls to the web service from a webpage bypass the web browser and are routed directly inside Media Center. That way the calls work even with Media Network off.
2. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
3. Fixed: Editing a file path rule in the library customization dialog would not work.
4. Changed: Theater View will save when it's zoomed into a file so returning to Theater View will still be zoomed in.
5. NEW: Made the text on the status bar customizable for single file selections (right-click the toolbar and pick Set Text Rule...).
6. Changed: Double-clicking or Right-click > Configure Recording is no longer disabled for TV recording rules that are time-based one-time recordings (in Recording Rules view).
7. Fixed: The equalizer preamp was only working on the two front channels.
8. Changed: Saving an empty playlist as a Car Radio button would start playing the current playlist instead of messaging that there was nothing to play.
9. NEW: Added the PNPosition and PNCount variables to the expression used for status bar customization.
10. NEW: Reworked both the preamp and equalizer so they'll work on high channel counts (like 32 channels) instead of only on prescribed channels.
11. NEW: Made the MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_SUBTITLES MCC command take a -3 to browse for subtitles.
12. NEW: More TV properties of recording rules can be edited in Theater View, including subscription suspension, re-enabling canceled recording etc.
13. Fixed: "Subscription default - Search all fields for name" setting was not correctly applied when setting up TV recording subscription in Theater View.
14. Changed: "Subscription default - Search all fields for name" option on TV Options is renamed "Subscription default - Search all fields for name (i.e. search Description in addition to Name and Series fields)".

25.0.102 (9/16/2019)

1. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).

3. Fixed: SACD playback was not working.
4. Changed: Play Doctor won't factor a file as a minus file if you double-click a new track. It will only factor as a minus if you hit the next track button.
5. Fixed: Tried to fix the issue of the Action Window crashing when closing automatically for check for updates (couldn't reproduce, so only maybe).


25.0.101 (9/14/2019)

1. NEW: Television Recording Rules can be edited in Theater View through a menu.
2. Changed: For DLNA, the next track will be sent 30 seconds before the end of the current track to devices that support SetNextAVTransportURI. (increase of 6 seconds).
3. Fixed: Media Center could crash when checking for updates while the Action Window was not shown.


25.0.100 (9/13/2019)

1. NEW: Added a dialog "Portable Library" to allow setting up the filename conversions needed between Windows, Mac, and Linux.
