2. Fixed: Video Streams in MOV/MP4 files were not reliably detected for more exotic video codecs (ie. DNxHD), resulting in MC treating the file as a audio file.<br />
3. NEW: Select is an available command for videos and TV shows in Theater View.<br />
4. Fixed: Library views could crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''20.0.78 (2/25/2015)'''

<br /><br>'''20.0.66 (2/4/2015)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Doing a play on a grouped artist, etc. tile would expand the files in a fixed way instead of using the sorting of the bottom list.<br />

3. Fixed: Chromium engine was not working properly on '''20.0.53.<br />
<br /><br>'''20.0.53 (1/8/2015)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Theater View artist backdrops load from the entire list of artists for a track instead of only the first artist.<br />

3. Changed: The jriver namespace fields from jr: to jriver: to match the previous use of presenting the access key. A side effect of this is that all builds in use must be greater than '''20.0.52 to use the volume leveling feature(this is only useful on a MC renderer from a MC server NOT doing conversion).<br />
4. Changed: The spacebar isn't translated as play / pause when a list control has the focus.<br />

3. Changed: Cover Art > Add From File opens at the location of the file instead of at the last folder used (but only if the folder contains at least one image).<br />
4. Fixed: MC did not scan for program map table when playing clear QAM television channels, causing problems recording in .TS format.<br />
5. Changed: For ATSC and QAM television channels, MC will try alternative ways to find audio and video packet IDs in case the usual method fails.<br />
6. Changed: The space bar shortcut for play/pause is not translated in Theater View so that the search in some views works.<br />
7. Changed: WebGizmo views say WebGizmo instead of Gizmo.<br />
8. Fixed: DLNA: The new delete dynamic libraries functions was slow (generating too many M-SEARCHes).<br />

2. Changed: Made it optional to increase the volume of DSD to PCM by +6 dB (Options > Audio > Advanced > Configure input plug-in > DSD input plug-in) (note that you need to reanalyze for volume level if you make this change).<br />

6. Changed: A few more strings are translatable that weren't before.<br />
7. Fixed: 8x DSD output wasn't working (testing appreciated).<br />
8. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).<br />

3. NEW: Added 8x DSD as an output encoding.<br />

7. Fixed: Text phrases in "Slow Motion Playback" context menu were not translatable.<br />
8. Changed: Updated FLAC encoder and decoder to FLAC 1.3.1.<br />
9. Fixed: Searching in WebGizmo for something with only one result would yield no results.<br />
10. Fixed: In some cases (when the top of the channel group was changed) reordering a television channel group would break the channel group.<br />
11. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks Casio!).<br />
<br /><br>'''20.0.47 (12/8/2014)'''

2. Changed: Importing CUE files will automatically migrate library entries to the new format.<br />
3. Changed: The new CUE format is only used when required, for example on large audio files which are split into multiple tracks with the CUE, but not on files which are already split.<br />
4. Fixed: The WDM driver was appearing as a choice for WASAPI and Direct Sound.<br />

4. Fixed: <b>Facebook</b> photo upload wasn&#039;t working.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.98 (12/18/2013)'''
1. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks Johnny B).<br />
2. Changed: Deleting an item in Theater View no longer resets the selection back to the beginning of the list.<br />
3. Changed: Picking System Info from the Help menu shows Reporter (which contains all the same information and more as the old system information report).<br />
4. Fixed: Deleting a file from the library could cause a crash in Media Network.<br />
5. Changed: Media Network no longer attempts to serve protected files (WMA, WMV, etc.) since they lead to problems with many renderers, Gizmo, etc.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.96 (12/17/2013)'''
1. <b>Faster</b>: Pushing enter in the search box will execute the search immediately (previously it would execute the search but the view would update a second time shortly after, making it slower overall instead of faster).<br />
2. Changed: Pushing tab in the search box will auto-select the first suggestion.<br />
3. Changed: The search system adjusts how instantly the search is evaluated based on view size and performance so fast computers or smaller libraries update almost instantly, but slower computers and larger libraries wait to avoid lag from partial searches (use enter in those cases to update immediately).<br />
4. Changed: Tightened up television time-shifting writer code, to prevent seeking problems.<br />
5. <b>Faster</b>: The program is more responsive when many tabs are open.<br />
6. Fixed: ASIO line-in playback could crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.95 (12/16/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Column header clicking to sort file lists was not working in build 94.<br />
2. <b>Faster</b>: Typing in the search box with large libraries is more responsive.<br />
3. Changed: The month value for a file in the library with a date that is year-only will be an empty string instead of January.<br />
4. <b>Faster</b>: The media type field no longer changes an empty media type to &#039;Unknown&#039; at display time (it imparted a small performance penalty for no real-world benefit).<br />
5. <b>Faster</b>: Improved search performance in the month field (which was one of the more intensive default search fields so the overall performance gain is appreciable).<br />
6. <b>Faster</b>: Gets on the filename field are around 20% faster.<br />
7. Changed: Album Artist is no longer included when offering search suggestions (since it often duplicates artist, and even when it doesn&#039;t normally doesn&#039;t contain a useful search value).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.94 (12/13/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Playing a television recording that had not finished recording did not work in some cases since build 91.<br />
2. Changed: While playing a television recording that has not finished recording, pressing number keys will no long show OSD message &quot;Changing channel...&quot; since channel changing would not take place in this case anyway.<br />
3. Changed: Pressing Enter key right after pressing number keys (for television channel changing) will cause channel changing to take effect immediately (without the Enter key, channel changing takes effect on a timer).<br />
4. Fixed: A crash caused by clicking on an undefined field in the database list header above the vertical scroll bar.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.93 (12/12/2013)'''

2. Changed: When summarizing data in a group of files, the &#039;Number Plays&#039; and &#039;Skip Count&#039; fields are totals instead of averages.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.91 (12/10/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Watching a currently recording television channel could in some cases interrupt the recording, when channel substitution was involved (if channel grouping was set up).<br />
2. Changed: When playback fails to start because the output will not accept the format, the bitdepth is no longer listed on the message (since the bitdepth is auto-configured for most outputs).<br />
3. Changed: Updated German language file (<b>thanks Bytestar</b>).<br />
4. Fixed: MC could load a new tuner when watching a television channel that is currently being recorded, instead of the tuner that is doing the recording. (Only if Channel grouping is involved).<br />
5. Changed: Media Network view reports the IP address of the source (the device making the call into Media Network).<br />
6. Fixed: MC could fail to play a television recording that was not yet finished, displaying &quot;No television tuner is available to fulfill your request.&quot; &nbsp;(Only if Channel grouping is involved).<br />

5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (<b>thanks Junghwan</b>).<br />
6. Fixed: When using memory playback, if a large file was played that used 1GB (or more) of memory but the system was unable to allocate that much memory, a small chunk of the song could get lost during playback.<br />
7. Fixed: Closing a file in Media Editor could crash.<br />
8. Fixed: When double-clicking a file in Playing Now, if the file was in the list multiple times, the behavior could be incorrect.<br />
9. Changed: When installing an updated LAV, if there&#039;s a copy of dtsdecoderdll.dll in the AppData LAV folder it will be preserved.<br />
10. Fixed: Theater View details list were not correctly putting text for the selected audio files on two lines.<br />
11. Changed: Put a white background on the updated <b>checkbox</b> images so that they work better with dark skins.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.89 (12/5/2013)'''
1. Fixed: MC inserted PAT and PMT packets (when needed) incorrectly when recording television shows in TS format.<br />
2. Fixed: Ogg, reading sample rate, channels, etc for database fields.<br />
3. Fixed: Screen grabbing from video playback was not working properly.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.88 (12/4/2013)'''
1. Fixed: If the &#039;Recently Acquired&#039; playlist got moved or renamed, it could cause acquiring from a camera to not nicely show the list after it finished.<br />

2. Changed: Carnac will use the exact filename for the Name field for images instead of a cleaned version (that might remove the date, underscores, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.86 (12/3/2013)'''
1. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (<b>thanks kelijun</b>).<br />
2. Fixed: When a DLNA device goes away and comes back on a different port or address, the old address could still be used.<br />
3. Changed: The DLNA server will not expose itself on the network unless the library has files in it.<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA would not always expose zones as DLNA renderers on first launch or when adding or removing a zone.<br />
5. Changed: DLNA subscription requests from Windows Media are ignored (because they always return a 400 error when sending standard UPnP event information anyway).<br />
6. <b>NEW: The list of articles in the program is user configurable</b> in Options &gt; Tree &amp; View &gt; Sorting (semi-colon delimited list).<br />
7. <b>NEW: Exceptions to articles can be added[</b> by starting an entry with - (example: ...;les;-les paul;... so that Les Pecheurs de Perle &gt; P and Les Paul &gt; L).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.85 (12/2/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Switching from 176.4kHz DSD as DoP to 176.4kHz PCM could result in the PCM incorrectly playing as DSD (and sounding distorted).<br />
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
3. Changed: Linked zones were not appearing in the zone roller of Theater View.<br />
4. Changed: The translation engine considers backslash a phrase-breaking delimiter (so &#039;a\b&#039; is now two phrases &#039;a&#039; &#039;b&#039; instead of one phrase &#039;a\b&#039;).<br />
5. Changed: Switch translation files from UTF-16 to UTF-8 (so they use around half the space on disk).<br />
6. Changed: Updated all language files to have the latest strings from the source code.<br />
7. Changed: Translation of WebGizmo is now possible (thanks rlebrette).<br />
8. Fixed: Seeking did not work (took extremely long time) when playing jtv files on a Gizmo/WebGizmo client.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.84 (11/27/2013)'''
1. NEW: Television channel grouping GUI (TV Options &gt; Group Channels...).<br />
2. Changed: A connection from the ASIO driver will not stop playback in MC if it was already playing.<br />
3. Changed: Revised how spectrum analyzers in the player bar are drawn to be more compatible with Apple and Linux (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.83 (11/26/2013)'''
1. <b>Faster</b>: The DLNA server is many times faster at responding to DLNA browse requests.<br />
2. Fixed: Possible crash from DLNA browse commands issued by LG televisions and possibly others.<br />
3. Changed: Czech language translation updated (<b>thanks Johnny B</b>).<br />
4. Fixed: Performer store was popping an error about wmhelper.dll.<br />
5. SDK: MCWS calls that return an image will fill padding (the Pad parameter) with the color provided in the FillTransparency parameter.<br />
6. Fixed: Saving an image that contained transparency to JPEG could create an incorrect result (applies to web service, etc.)<br />
7. Fixed: When MC stopped television recording, in rare cases it incorrectly tried to show live program while the user was not even watching, resulting in hang or crash or other odd behavior.<br />
8. Fixed: Made it possible to translate some strings that were not translatable from this thread: [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=84639.0 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=84639.0]<br />
9. Changed: The regular list item tooltip will not be shown when the mouse is over a cell that requires a truncation tooltip that&#039;s multiple lines.<br />
10. Fixed: If an audio CD was ejected right as it was being analyzed, the program could get stuck with a partial track list when reinserting the disc.<br />
11. Changed: The spectrum analyzers at the top of the program better adapt to the View &gt; Size setting.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.82 (11/25/2013)'''

1. <b>NEW: Added a centralized system power manager</b> that can better track if and when the system should be allowed to sleep.<br />
2. Changed: After serving a media file, the computer will not be allowed to sleep for 20 minutes so that a server won&#039;t go away while pausing or browsing.<br />
3. Changed: No thumb images are drawn using higher quality resizing (especially important now that the artwork is 4x resolution).<br />
4. Fixed: The Action Window would not properly reload images when changing View &gt; Size, resulting in fuzzy icons until restarting MC.<br />

4. Changed: Simplified DSD bitstreaming configuration so there&#039;s no need to pick DSD vs DoP (this is now controlled by the output plugin).<br />
5. Changed: Added advanced ASIO option &#039;DSD bitstream in DoP format&#039; for the few devices that use ASIO but do not support native ASIO (Lynx, etc.).<br />
6. Changed: DoP input is reported as &#039;DoP 2.8MHz 1bit 2ch&#039; in Audio Path instead of being reported as 176.4kHz PCM (the data is DSD but is packaged like PCM with DoP, so both are correct).<br />
7. Changed: Updated YouTube integration to work better with recent YouTube changes.<br />
8. Fixed: When scanning for TV channels, some combo boxes (e.g. &quot;Satellite&quot; for DVB-S, &quot;Provider&quot; for DVB-C, &quot;Frequencies&quot; for QAM) could be incorrectly disabled.<br />

3. Fixed: Revised the rules for Theater View Guide up / down navigation to track more logically in a list with uneven program start times.<br />
4. NEW: Added Options &gt; Audio &gt; Advanced &gt; Auto configure output settings on playback error (previously it was always in &#039;Ask&#039; mode on Windows and &#039;Yes&#039; mode on other platforms).<br />

2. Fixed: Some files could trigger unnecessarily as having external changes in build 70 and 71.<br />
3. <b>SDK</b>: Added MCWS/v1/Handheld/Sync to the web service.<br />
4. <b>SDK</b>: MCWS/v1/Control/MCC can optionally wait for the command to finish before returning by setting Block=1.<br />
5. <b>Faster</b>: Improved the concurrency of MCWS (previously calling the same function multiple times at once would cause the calls to take turns).<br />
6. <b>NEW: TV recording rules allow optionally specifying tags</b> to apply to the recordings they make (similar to how auto-import folder tagging works).<br />
7. <b>Faster</b>: Reduced the chance that clicking a list item will block until the drive spins up or the network path is tried.<br />
8. <b>Faster</b>: When checking for the existence of a missing network drive, which can be slow on Windows, checking the state of other drives from other threads will not also be blocked.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.71 &nbsp;(11/6/2013)'''
1. Changed: Red October updated to LAV Filters 0.59.1. (<b>Thanks, Hendrik</b>)<br />

3. Changed: Revised how system file times are mapped to internal times to work around a legacy Windows issue with regard to DST (should be internal change, but could cause some file times to shift by an hour when updating library).<br />
4. Fixed: The CD burning &#039;Status&#039; column was not repainting nicely as a burn progressed.<br />
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (<b>thanks Junghwan</b>).<br />

3. Changed: Switched F11 and Shift+F11 so that <b>F11 is equivalent to the green button</b> on an MCE remote (and shift F11 will loop including Standard View).<br />
4. Fixed: File path category grouping was not working properly in some cases.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.66 (10/30/2013)'''
1. Changed: When doing real-time DSD output, changes of input sample rate will restart the hardware (otherwise an undesired resampler can end up in the audio chain).<br />
2. Fixed: When switching output encoding to AC3, the channels box would switch to &#039;4 channels&#039; but not save the setting correctly so that playback could fail until you manually changed another setting on the page.<br />
3. Changed: When searching for backdrop images from htbackdrops.org, artist mis-spellings will be better handled.<br />
4. Changed: Updated YouTube integration to work better with recent YouTube changes.<br />

1. Changed: For clarity, it&#039;s no longer possible to open DSP Studio for the format converter unless the option to apply DSP is on.<br />
2. Fixed: Custom video mode settings were not being stored in the new zone options location, causing them to not clone properly to a new zone (requires manually (re)configuring settings one time before cloning).<br />
3. Fixed: Some volume settings would not reliably clone to a new zone.<br />
4. <b>Faster</b>: Improved the performance of gets on the filename field in the database by around 15%.<br />
5. <b>Faster</b>: The FileFolder(...) expression is about twice as fast.<br />

6. Changed: Removed extra entries for Greece from the countries list in television configuration.<br />
7. Fixed: Preventing the display from turning off during audio playback works properly with playback in multiple zones.<br />
8. Internal: Revised how menu tracking works (should be internal, but please report any menu related issues).<br />
9. Fixed: A corrupted sorting cache file in app data folder could cause the program to fail to run.<br />

8. Changed: When playing on an LS client a television recording in transport stream format, if the server is still recording the file, playback switches to a jtv file so the playback length can grow with the recording.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.51 (10/4/2013)'''
1. Changed: Updated the Indonesian translation (<b>Thanks elda</b>).<br />
2. Fixed: Double-click in live television video window (using EVR) did not work.<br />

6. Fixed: The white-list for allowing system volume to work while bitstreaming was not working with some Resonessence Labs hardware.<br />
7. Fixed: <b>Automatic library backups and check for updates</b> would not be started when the command line was not empty (so launching at boot with /MediaServer, etc. could disable this functionality).<br />
8. Changed: Added the ability to use the <b>token [User]</b> in the playerbar to display the name of the current user.<br />
9. Fixed: Customization to the playerbar would not always take effect right away.<br />
10. <b>NEW: Added &#039;Set levels from decibel meter&#039;</b> button to Room Correction to make it easier to calibrate levels.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.50 (10/2/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Added View &gt; Size option to resize Standard View</b> (only works well with some skins; Noire recommended).<br />
2. Changed: Memory playback automatically disengages when using Audio Calibration for Tools &gt; Advanced Tools (since audio calibration clips will play forever until stopped).<br />
3. Changed: Audio Calibration clips always use gapless track transitions (instead of possibly gapping or fading based on user options).<br />
4. <b>SDK: Skin items can specify a Scale attribute</b> so that high resolution images can be used (ie. Scale=&quot;2.0&quot; for a double resolution image).<br />
5. Fixed: When watching an on-going television recording in transport stream (.ts) format, not all of the already recorded portion was shown, if the portion was longer than the pre-set time-shifting window.<br />
6. Fixed: ATI HDTVWonder tuner would not record in transport stream format.<br />
7. Changed: DSD encoding targets a slightly more conservative volume level (by about 1.6dB) so that it works better with Sabre-based DACs (and possibly others).<br />
8. Fixed: Clicking &#039;Exit&#039; in Theater View with the mouse would not show the dialog with the last couple builds.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.49 (9/30/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Theater View could be slow to show in some cases with the last few builds.<br />
2. <b>Faster: Netflix</b> in Theater View does all loading of episodes on demand, so displaying the queue is much faster.<br />
3. Fixed: Some YouTube music videos would not play from Theater View.<br />
4. Changed: Startup and between track silence is -96dBFS narrow band <b>pink noise</b> instead of pure silence so that it works better with hardware that ignores pure silence ( [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=83964.0 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=83964.0] ).<br />
5. Changed: Video files with TrueHD audio tracks will say &#039;<b>Dolby TrueHD</b>&#039; in the compression field instead of &#039;unknown codec&#039;.<br />

7. Changed: Added a help button on the popup expression editor that links to the expression language wiki: [http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Expression_Language http://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Expression_Language] (thanks MrC).<br />
8. <b>New: Added an option for ignoring specified IP interfaces for DLNA</b>.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.48 (9/27/2013)'''
1. Changed: When recording television programs in transport stream format, MC will insert PAT and PMT packets if it does not detect such packets in the stream.<br />
2. Fixed: Double-clicking the right edge of a list header column to auto-size was not working.<br />
3. <b>Faster</b>: Additional tuning of SSE code used for 16-bit PCM input data handling to make it another 20% faster.<br />
4. Fixed: When the detached display was Aero snapped, it would not always be positioned correctly when reattaching.<br />
5. Changed: Volume Leveling will disable (instead of using the default -10dB for unanalyzed audio files) when playing test clips (Tools &gt; Advanced Tools &gt; Audio Calibration).<br />
6. Changed: The JRiver ASIO driver doesn&#039;t load Media Center until it&#039;s actually started for playback (instead of when the host creates buffers).<br />
7. Fixed: Drag-n-drop reording in a list manager was not working (like DSP Studio plugins, etc.).<br />
8. Fixed: Playback stats for images were not always updating for the last image viewed.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.47 (9/26/2013)'''
1. Fixed: During conversion or audio analysis, the process could slow down unexpectedly if the input thread was running much faster than the output thread.<br />
2. <b>Faster</b>: Core audio engine bitdepth handling code is faster when dealing with 16-bit integer input on SSE enabled CPUs (common on CD rips with lossless formats).<br />
3. <b>Faster</b>: Final audio engine stage that handles clipping is about 2x faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.46 (9/25/2013)'''
1. Changed: Carnac better deals with TV show filenames that use the full episode name (including season and series) as their folder name instead of using a series folder.<br />
2. Fixed: In some cases, VOB subtitle would draw with the red and blue channels flipped (so yellow subtitles appeared blue).<br />
3. Changed: Changed the menu and toolbar text for &quot;Zones&quot; and &quot;Skins&quot; from plural to singular.<br />

6. <b>Faster</b>: More efficient and faster user interface drawing in Standard View.<br />
7. <b>Faster</b>: When burning, converting, analyzing, etc. files they would redraw in lists that didn&#039;t show the status column. &nbsp;Now only the status column redraws (if visible).<br />
8. <b>Faster</b>: Revised list and tree mouse move redrawing system so that mouse movement only redraws the row under the cursor when necessary instead of always.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.45 (9/24/2013)'''
1. Fixed: mp4/m4a files would not play on LS clients if user chooses &quot;Automatic&quot; or &quot;JRiver audio engine (using input plug-in)&quot; for Playback Type.<br />
2. Changed: Video playback no longer forces the &#039;Clip protection&#039; overflow handling mode but instead allows flat-lining overflows if so desired.<br />
3. Fixed: Some click handling problems from build 44.<br />
4. Fixed: When MP3 decoding encountered bad frames, audio analysis could slow way down instead of quickly working through the errors.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.44 (9/24/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Shell extensions were causing problems in build 43.<br />
2. Internal: More work on mouse click and double-click handling to fix some issues with trackpads (please report any issues).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.43 (9/23/2013)'''
1. Fixed: A couple click / mouse issues due to the internal click handling changes.<br />
2. Changed: Analyze Audio allows analyzing up to 8 files at a time instead of 4.<br />
3. Fixed: Memory playback could engage when analyzing audio or converting and impact the memory usage and performance of the operation.<br />
4. <b>Faster: Improved thread parallelism when analyzing audio</b> (and to a lesser extent regular playback).<br />
5. <b>SDK: The HTML engine supports .Rating and .RatingStars</b> variables on any file object (can be used by WebGizmo, etc.).<br />
6. Fixed: If a video file issued a finished event before ever starting, it could cause the audio analyzer to hang on the file.<br />
7. Fixed: Thai text (and possibly others) could draw with incorrect character spacing.<br />
8. Fixed: ASIO Line-in playback was not working properly.<br />
9. Fixed: A corrupt MP3 file could cause a crash when decoding in rare cases.<br />
10. Changed: Edit control scrollbars are indented one pixel so that they&#039;re inside the edit border with most skins.<br />
11. Fixed: The Trunc(...) math expression function could show incorrect results in some cases.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.42 (9/19/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Theater View could crash in rare cases.<br />
2. Changed: The installer checks for SSE2 and shows an error if it&#039;s not found instead of refusing to run (we have no way to test this, so confirmation would be appreciated).<br />
3. Changed: Revised the check for operating system support for AVX CPU instructions to hopefully fix an issue on XP running in Parallels (testing appreciated).<br />
4. Fixed: When a client request a television channel that the server is already running (either recording or serving other clients), a black rectangle is drawn on the upper lefter corner of the server.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.41 (9/18/2013)'''
1. Changed: Added support for SSA/ASS subtitle custom margins in the styles block.<br />

2. <b>NEW: Added a 6 dB/octave mode for high and low pass filters</b> in Parametric Equalizer.<br />
3. Changed: The import summary is presented as an Action Window and only shows a popup and switches to &#039;Recently Imported&#039; if a user clicks &#039;Details&#039; on the summary.<br />
4. Fixed: The new JRTelevision Dll did not work.<br />
5. Internal: Revised left mouse click handling so that single, double, and triple clicks are generated by JRiver&#039;s framework instead of the operating system (should be internal change, but please report any mouse related issues).<br />
6. Fixed: The installer could incorrectly want to reboot when it couldn&#039;t install the shell extensions.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.39 (9/16/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Some handheld devices would not appear in the last few builds (due to the internal COM changes).<br />
2. Faster: When loading Theater View backdrops from multiple sources, all sources are loaded at once instead of loading one at a time.<br />
3. SDK: MCWS/v1/File/GetFile allows specifying a custom mime type for the response (to deal with carriers or ISPs that may block or throttle MP3 data).<br />
4. Faster: Netflix queue is downloaded 2 to 3 times faster due to using parallel threading. Cancel works better.<br />
5. Fixed: A few rare MP3 files could get slow to play or analyze.<br />
6. Fixed: The brightness / contrast skin effect could overflow and look bad when using SSE acceleration.<br />
7. Fixed: The removed FTP upload tool could incorrectly appear in the send to menu ( removed when MFC was removed: [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75971.0 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75971.0] ).<br />
8. Changed: The JRiver ASIO driver allows the host to configure the driver buffer size instead of keying off Options &gt; Audio &gt; Live playback latency (this way programs that query for the buffer size of all ASIO drivers on startup won&#039;t cause MC to start).<br />
9. Changed: Socket buffer size to 32k.<br />
10. Changed: Allow re-use of the base socket listener for library server (non-windows versions).<br />
11. Changed: Adaptive Volume in &#039;Peak Level Normalize&#039; mode would not use a fixed gain in some cases where it should have.<br />
12. Internal: Switched television engine from an MFC COM control (MJTVControl.dll) to a regular DLL (JRTelevision.dll).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.38 (9/10/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The installer would always register the 64-bit shell extensions, leading to cases where shell extensions could show in Explorer when the option was off in MC (manually turn on, OK out of options, then turn off, and OK out of options to fix).<br />
2. Fixed: The custom library backup path validation could unnecessarily create the default folder.<br />
3. Changed: Rewrote several core MMX image manipulation routines in SSE (most around 2x faster and now work cross platform).<br />
4. Fixed: The visual mouse over state for an edit control would not always be honored properly.<br />
5. Changed: Adaptive Volume in &#039;Peak Level Normalize&#039; mode normalizes on a per-track basis when Volume Leveling is off and on a per-playlist basis when Volume Leveling is on.<br />
6. Fixed: WPD camera acquisition could fail in the last few builds due to the internal COM changes.<br />
7. Changed: MC has a white list of device names that support system volume while bitstreaming, and no longer disables the system volume slider when playing to these devices (if you have a device like this, please provide details).<br />
8. Fixed: Audio device names with pipes or backslashes in them could cause problems in Options &gt; Audio.<br />
9. Changed: Added experimental support for ASIO DSD output to devices that do not specify a DSD buffer format like Teac, maybe others (feedback appreciated).<br />
10. Fixed: If auto-import got canceled while analyzing audio, it would record it as an error and not try again for a year.<br />
11. Fixed: Column auto-sizing was not working in some areas.<br />
12. Fixed: The projection aspect ratio was inconsistent when switching between some 3d visualizations.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.37 (9/5/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Playback of some YouTube music videos was failing.<br />
2. Changed: The CSV text copied to the clipboard when copying from a list uses tab instead of comma as the delimiter.<br />
3. Fixed: Playing YouTube videos, MC would not resume playback after entering buffering state.<br />
4. Changed: Switched convolution based image effects (sharpen, emboss, etc.) to use SSE instead of MMX (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
5. Changed: MC will now read and write replay gain (Volume Level) tags in Windows Media files.<br />
6. Fixed: Loopback was not working in the last couple builds due to internal COM changes.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.36 (9/4/2013)'''
1. NEW: Added native support for little-endian PCM AIFF files (previously only the more common big-endian or floating point AIFF files were supported natively).<br />
2. Changed: Copying list items to the clipboard generated RFC 4180 compliant CSV data (previously some special characters, newlines, etc. were not formatted for RFC 4180 compliance).<br />
3. Changed: Copying list items to the clipboard puts CSV into the text area of the clipboard (instead of having different text and CSV formats).<br />
4. Fixed: If something triggered a Standard View view switch while Theater View was showing, it could steal the keyboard / remote focus.<br />
5. Fixed: MC could not read and write replay gain tags in APE tags that used replaygain_track_gain style naming.<br />
6. Changed: MC no longer adjust replay gain value internally by 6 dB (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.35 (9/3/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Seeking during YouTube playback could cause extremely slow network traffic from the server.<br />
2. Fixed: After acquiring images from a camera, the program would not always update and show the &#039;Recently Acquired&#039; playlist.<br />
3. Fixed: TiVo Server could fail to run in some cases in the last few builds.<br />
4. Fixed: Several issues from COM changes in build 34.<br />
5. Changed: More tweaks to Noire skin.<br />
6. Changed: Adaptive Volume is locked at the #2 position in DSP Studio (Output Format, Volume Levelling, and Adaptive Volume happen at the front of the audio chain, other effects happen JIT at the end).<br />
7. Changed: The automatic library backup system will switch to the default backup location when a user specified folder is no longer valid.<br />
8. Changed: Help &gt; System Info was missing the device manager information on Windows 8.<br />
9. SDK: Added MCWS/v1/File/Played function to update play stats, Scrobble, etc.<br />
10. SDK: All MCWS/v1/File/* functions accept a library key or filename (to use a filename, set FileType to Filename).<br />
11. SDK: Added MCWS/v1/Playlist/AddFile to add a single file to a playlist.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.34 (8/30/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Doing a YADB track lookup could hang when using a file that required DirectShow for decoding.<br />
2. Changed: DVD rips now use Carnac for better decoding of series/season/disc# information in disc volume name.<br />
3. Internal: Made usage of COM opt-in instead of opt-out for worker threads. &nbsp;Please report any issues.<br />
4. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).<br />
5. Fixed: Some phrases were not translated.<br />
6. NEW: MC can record television channels on CableCARD devices in transport stream (.ts) format.<br />
7. Changed: Improved internal engine quality when playing 2x DSD input, using processing, and outputting 2x DSD.<br />
8. Faster: Improvements to DSD output encoding to reduce the chance of buffer shortfalls.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.33 (8/29/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Adaptive volume would sometimes not apply (fixed) volume adjustment on already analyzed files.<br />
2. Fixed: The Direct Sound buffering slider wouldn&#039;t save the value.<br />
3. Changed: Additional updates to the default Noire skin.<br />
4. Changed: Added some logging to the ASIO driver to trouble-shoot hosts that load the driver but don&#039;t actually use it (which can cause MC to launch).<br />
5. Changed: SRT subtitles suppress mystery &lt;32&gt; and &lt;35&gt; markers used by Swedish public television.<br />
6. Fixed: When the system short date format used the month as a string instead of a number, it could cause date parsing to make incorrect guesses with regards to day and month ordering for ambiguous dates like &#039;3-4&#039;.<br />
7. Changed: Date parsing of three numbers (like 3-4-12 or 2012.3.4) will always assume the ordering matches the system default (unless it&#039;s a clear variant like year.month.day).<br />
8. Fixed: Playback of some YouTube music videos was failing.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.32 (8/23/2013)'''
1. Changed: Added support for viewing CMYK JPEG files.<br />
2. Changed: Media Network authentication tokens last three days instead of two hours (so coming back to Gizmo after inactivity works better).<br />
3. Fixed: MC will no longer crash when importing videos with the &quot;folder.jpg&quot; in the folder above it.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.31 (8/22/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The text &lt;font&gt; could appear in Theater View captions in build 30. &nbsp; <br />
2. Fixed: Volume Leveling could be applied when playing to a DLNA device, even if it was turned off in Options &gt; Media Network.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.30 (8/20/2013)'''
1. Faster: When calling the web service for images, when png is requested but no transparency is in the image, a high quality jpeg will be returned instead (makes Gizmo browsing faster).<br />
2. Fixed: Mp4 files with embedded images were not always using the image as the thumbnail.<br />
3. Fixed: The JRiver ASIO driver installed by MC19 could cause problems in MC18.<br />
4. Fixed: When switching tracks with some between track modes, ASIO output could fall out of DoP mode for a split second.<br />
5. Fixed: Deleting the last image from a slideshow could lead to a crash.<br />
6. Changed: Text drawing system no longer supports &quot;&lt;font&quot; markers without a space after them (ie. the correct &lt;font size=&quot;150%&quot;&gt; works but the incorrect &lt;fontsize=&quot;150%&quot;&gt; will no longer work).<br />
7. Fixed: Playback stats were not being tracked for image playback.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.29 (8/16/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Freshened the look of the default Noire skin</b>.<br />
2. Fixed: The uninstaller could fail to start if a different version of Media Center was used last.<br />
3. Changed: When searching for sidecar artwork, instead of searching only for Folder.jpg, the program will find Folder.jpg, <b>Cover.jpg, Front.jpg</b> (and also any image extension like .jpeg, .png, etc.).<br />
4. Changed: When scanning for television channels, the tuner type is automatically selected according to user configured tuner type of the first non-disabled tuner in the list, instead of always defaulting to &quot;ATSC&quot;.<br />
5. Changed: Removed the appearance selection page from the installer.<br />
6. Fixed: Using the new group expressions in Theater View could cause &#039;circular reference&#039; errors to appear in some cases.<br />
7. Changed: When the Analyze Audio tool is being run manually (ie. not part of auto-import), it will prevent the system from going to sleep.<br />
8. Fixed: Tooltips in edit controls were not showing reliably (making it hard to get context sensitive help when editing expressions).<br />
9. NEW: The target <b>latency for live playback (WASAPI loopback, ASIO line-in, JRiver ASIO driver)</b> can be configured in Options &gt; Audio &gt; Advanced &gt; Live playback latency (remember that the output latency from Options &gt; Audio &gt; Device settings... is added to this latency).<br />
10. Fixed: DVD Video burning was not working for longer duration video files.<br />
11. Changed: .<b>rec files</b> will now be recognized and played.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.28 (8/14/2013)'''
1. Changed: Opening Options &gt; Audio will no longer load any ASIO drivers (some drivers would hang when loaded a second time if playback was happening, etc.)<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.27 (8/14/2013)'''
1. Changed: A few fixes and tweaks to the DR analyzer.<br />
2. Fixed: The Audio Analyzer dialog was stalling on files that didn&#039;t need analysis instead of skipping them. <br />
3. Fixed: In-place editing in the tree could get cancelled when background tools fired notifications (like when a DLNA device came or went).<br />
4. Fixed: Renaming a library view will prompt to save changes before doing the rename.<br />
5. Fixed: Putting an invalid field into a GroupSummary(...) expression could crash.<br />
6. Fixed: Scrolling with the mouse wheel in a list could leave a tooltip showing.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.26 (8/13/2013)'''
1. NEW: Expression based categories can define separate grouping and display expressions so that you can group by something like artist, but then display something more advanced with counts, number of albums, etc.<br />
2. NEW: Group-based expression functions like GroupCount(...) and GroupSummary(...) are supported in the new category display expressions.<br />
3. NEW: Added DR dynamic range analysis to the audio analyzer.<br />
4. Changed: When an Action Window is maximized, the other Action Windows are hidden instead of showing them in a stack at the bottom (provides more available height for a maximized window).<br />
5. Changed: The maximize button on the Action Window switches to a minimize button when maximized (when a skin doesn&#039;t have a maximize button, the restore artwork is used).<br />
6. Changed: Action Windows remember their maximized state (so a maximized Tag window will stay maximized).<br />
7. Changed: Updated Chromium browser engine to Chromium Embedded Framework 3.1453.1255 (Chromium version 27.0.1453.73).<br />
8. Fixed: Television recordings in transport stream format could be unplayable in other applications, and could have bad quality.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.25 (8/12/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Added support for user accounts</b> that are stored with the library and allow each user to see only certain files (replaces Access Control feature).<br />
2. <b>NEW: Added a &#039;User&#039; library field</b> that can be set to any combination of users to limit the contents visibility to only those users (leave blank for content to show for all users).<br />
3. SDK: The MC command MCC_BACKUP_LIBRARY (20011) will perform a <b>silent automatic backup</b> when passed &quot;1&quot; as the parameter.<br />
4. Changed: The program will run the automatic library code periodically instead of only at program start (so that running the program for long periods won&#039;t stop automatic backups from happening).<br />
5. Changed: Auto-import has separate options for analyzing audio for audio and video files.<br />
6. <b>NEW: User can choose a time for MC to load television EPG</b> in background.<br />
7. Changed: <b>Server token authentication persists</b> across a server restart so that an authenticated client won&#039;t be forced to reconnect if the server goes down and comes back up. &nbsp;<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.24 (8/9/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The audio analyzer was not properly returning per-channel peaks.<br />
2. NEW: JRSS downmixing uses per-channel peak levels from audio analysis when they&#039;re available to make a better determination about how much (if any) volume reduction is required to prevent clipping after the downmix.<br />
3. Changed: The &#039;Volume Up&#039; and &#039;Volume Down&#039; roller items do not appear in Theater View when the volume is in disabled mode.<br />
4. Changed: The error check during WPD camera acquisition makes sure the source and destination file sizes are within 2.5% instead of an exact match since some devices do not expose an exact file size (Android 4.3 in MTP mode).<br />
5. Changed: Doing a Camera acquire shows a playlist &#039;Recently Acquired&#039; that contains only images acquired in the last hour (like other recent playlists, it is automatically cleaned up after a few days).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.23 (8/8/2013)'''
1. Fixed: When non-analyzable files were added to the analyzer, the program would dead-lock when showing the error dialog.<br />
2. Changed: Added int(...), frac(...), round(...), and trunc(...) to the math evaluator (used in expressions, visualizations, etc.).<br />
3. Changed: The math evaluator is double-precision (64-bit) instead of single-precision (32-bit) for floating point operations.<br />
4. Changed: The option to not draw frames on image thumbnails is honored in grouped details lists (previously it was only honored in thumbnail lists).<br />
5. Fixed: File creation could fail in build 19.0.22, causing several possible strange problems.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.22 (8/8/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Importing of mp4 files that have copyright atom could cause MC to crash.<br />
2. Changed: Vertical scrollbars are positioned inside the column header in a list instead of over it (allows a cleaner look with some skins and is logical since the column header doesn&#039;t scroll).<br />
3. Fixed: MC could fail to load ID3 tag data in AIFF and WAVE files.<br />
4. Fixed: MC did not write copyright tag to mp4 files.<br />
5. Changed: MC will try reading copyright tag from a second location in mp4 files if the ISO-defined &#039;cprt&#039; atom does not exist.<br />
6. Changed: The list editing widget (used for editing keywords, etc.) puts the &#039;Add&#039; box at the bottom and moves the instructions into the box for a cleaner alignment and less chance for the suggestions when adding to obscure the existing list.<br />
7. Faster: File I/O adds a buffering layer that engages when small reads are performed so that underlying reads are never too small (a real world example where this helps is with FLAC playback over some types of wireless networks).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.21 (8/7/2013)'''
1. Changed: The audio analyzer considers a file analyzed if it has a &#039;Volume Level (R128)&#039; and &#039;Peak Level (R128)&#039; value.<br />
2. Faster: Analyzing files to decide what playback / decoding method to use is faster (makes opening the Analyze Audio dialog with lots of files faster).<br />
3. Fixed: Files with a peak level of 0.0 dB could incorrectly be marked as needing analysis.<br />
4. Changed: The standard ReplayGain volume level and peak level tags will not be written to tags if tagging is turned off for the corresponding MC fields &#039;Volume Level (ReplayGain)&#039; and &#039;Peak Level (Sample)&#039;.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.20 (8/5/2013)'''
1. Changed: Memory playback gracefully handles cases where memory allocation fails.<br />
2. Changed: Added &#039;Peak Level (Sample)&#039; field to report the peak level found in an actual sample value (doesn&#039;t account for inter-peak overs like R128 TruePeak).<br />
3. Changed: Added &#039;Volume Level (ReplayGain)&#039; that will be filled from tags or an old MC library on import.<br />
4. Changed: After analyzing a file, the &#039;Volume Level (ReplayGain)&#039; field and tag will be filled with a ReplayGain v2 value (which is the R128 level with a +5dB adjustment).<br />
5. Changed: When a file has a &#039;Peak Level (Sample)&#039; value and no &#039;Peak Level (R128)&#039; value, the sample peak will be used (with 1.5dB extra headroom added to make it more similar to R128 True Peak).<br />
6. Changed: When a file has a &#039;Volume Level (ReplayGain)&#039; value and no &#039;Volume Level (R128)&#039; value, the ReplayGain value will be used with Volume Leveling (adjusted by -5dB to make it more similar to an R128 value).<br />
7. Changed: Removed some unneeded COM initialization / uninitialization from Media Network server threads (might help with ole32.dll crashes during idle).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.19 (8/2/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The RAW image decoding cache was not enabled for the last few builds.<br />
2. Fixed: The &#039;Check for Updates&#039; Action Window could use the wrong button width for the button (may also apply to other places where the button text changes dynamically).<br />
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.18 (8/1/2013)'''
1. Fixed: A few 3d visualizations were not working properly on Windows 7 and Windows 8.<br />
2. Changed: Removed 3d text visualization (it&#039;s no longer possible to create a 3d mesh from text using the D3DX helper).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.17 (7/31/2013)'''
1. Changed: When getting thumbnails JRWorker will test-load the image embedded in mp4 files, and if not valid, will fall back to capturing an image from the video.<br />
2. Changed: JPEG tag padding is stored as an APP9 segment instead of an APP14 segment because some Android devices would not properly handle an APP14 block that contained empty data.<br />
3. Fixed: The option to start playback of the current playlist would not work when MC was configured to start when Windows loaded.<br />
4. Internal: Switched most of the math used by hardware accelerated drawing away from D3DX to JRiver code (please report any new issues with Theater View, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.16 (7/30/2013)'''
1. Changed: JPEG tagging would fail to read IPTC tags from newer versions of Photoshop.<br />
2. Changed: The tag dump for JPEG files in the Tag Action Window shows the full file structure (list of JPEG segments, with a little information about each segment).<br />
3. Changed: JPEG tagging understands APP15 segments filled with 0xFF bytes and considers them padding that can be removed on tag save (not sure what program writes them).<br />
4. Changed: JPEG tagging always uses a consistent segment order: JFIF (if present), EXIF, XMP, IPTC, MJMD, Padding, other App blocks (if present), image data.<br />
5. Changed: Removing tags on a JPEG removes the XMP, IPTC, MJMD, and Padding segments (but leaves the EXIF block).<br />
6. Fixed: Importing mp4 video files with embedded tags did not get additional tags (for example Aspect Ratio) that were not already in the file.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.15 (7/29/2013)'''
1. Changed: Hooked up new R128 volume leveling for handhelds, DLNA, and file conversion.<br />
2. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.58.2 (thanks nevcairiel).<br />
3. Changed: Revised how presets are saved and loaded in DSP Studio &gt; Equalizer to hopefully be more clear.<br />
4. Fixed: The tag dump in the Action Window would be blank when showing for the first file.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.14 (7/26/2013)'''
1. Faster: True Peak analyzer when using SSE on 44.1 and 48 kHz content is about 20% faster.<br />
2. Changed: Ripping and burning now use the updated R128 audio analysis.<br />
3. Changed: When volume leveling is enabled but applying no change, it will still show in Audio Path as +0.0dB.<br />
4. Changed: When using album gain for R128, the loudest track in a cluster will define the gain instead of the average (since quiet tracks may call for a gain unachievable by loud tracks due to their peak level).<br />
5. Changed: When saving tags, the R128 volume is saved into the existing Replay Gain field (using a +5.0dB shift, as per Replay Gain v2 / David Robinson).<br />
6. Changed: When saving tags, the R128 peak level is saved into the standard &#039;Peak Level&#039; field (converted from decibels to a percent and stored like &#039;0.944&#039;).<br />
7. Faster: ListCombine(...) expression is faster.<br />
8. Fixed: JTV video conversion lip-sync problem.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.13 (7/25/2013)'''
1. Changed: Volume Leveling will not use an album gain for videos except for when the Media Sub Type is set to Music Video.<br />
2. Fixed: Direct Sound playback would not work with devices that didn&#039;t support 24-bit audio.<br />
3. Fixed: Video width and height fields could be filled incorrectly.<br />
4. Fixed: When converting from some jtv television recordings, the converted files would have incorrect aspect ratio. Make sure you correct width and height problem first (see 2. above) before retry conversion.<br />
5. Changed: Video width and height values in the database are applied before playing jtv files so videos will not be played at wrong aspect ratio briefly at the beginning.<br />
6. Changed: Switched from htbackdrops.com to htbackdrops.org (their updated site) as a source for some Theater View online media backdrops.<br />
7. Fixed: Audio Analysis was running a core audio engine thread at a higher thread priority than intended, causing possible playback or system performance issues while analyzing.<br />
8. Changed: DST decompression (used by DSD, CPU expensive) automatically adjusts the thread priorities used for decoding based on the caller&#039;s priority (so DSD background analysis, etc. has less impact on system responsiveness).<br />
9. Changed: Improvements to how memory playback manages CPU load when decoding demanding sources like DST compressed DSD.<br />
10. Fixed: The ISO media type detector was not getting some ISO files correct.<br />
11. NEW: Video aspect ratio is imported during thumbnailing.<br />
12. NEW: Theater View fades down the user interface elements after 90 seconds of inactivity to prevent burn in (optional in Options &gt; Theater View &gt; Behavior).<br />
13. NEW: Volume Leveling accounts for volume changes from JRSS downmixing, so that mixing different channel count content will provide a more consistent volume level.<br />
14. Fixed: Exiting Theater View while the &#039;News&#039; view was loading could crash in some cases.<br />
15. Faster: R128 True Peak analysis uses a new brickwall FIR lowpass when upsampling that&#039;s much faster (readings will be mostly the same but could vary by up to 0.2dB from the previous resampler).<br />
16. Faster: R128 True Peak uses SSE instructions when possible to help performance.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.12 (7/19/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Real-time 2xDSD</b> output added to DSP Studio &gt; Output Format (requires ASIO connection to 2xDSD capable DAC) (real-time DSD encoding not available for video playback).<br />
2. Changed: Renamed &#039;Peak Level&#039; field to &#039;Peak Level (R128)&#039; and changed the units in the field to &#039;dBTP&#039; from &#039;dB&#039; to better indicate the values are R128 True Peak values (sorry, but this will require files to be reanalyzed).<br />
3. Fixed: Some BD ISO files were not being properly imported as movies.<br />
4. Fixed: Selecting a Direct Sound output mode was not working properly.<br />
5. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.58.1.<br />
6. Changed: Red October HQ uses madVR version 0.86.9.<br />
7. Fixed: While playing a currently recording television show in transport stream format MC would play the ts file instead of going to the tuner that was doing the recording.<br />
8. Fixed: MC could hang upon stopping when playing a video over the network (Library server, or YouTube etc.).<br />
9. Changed: Volume Leveling will not use an album gain for Podcasts.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.11 (7/18/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Real-time DSD output for any content</b> is possible using DSP Studio &gt; Output Format &gt; Output Encoding.<br />
2. Changed: Tuned the program startup loader thread so that background tools begin running more quickly.<br />
3. Fixed: Audio analysis fields were not visible in video views.<br />
4. Changed: When importing ISO files of DVD or Bluray discs, the program will automatically mark them as Video / Movie for a media type, and search for sidecar cover art.<br />
5. Fixed: OGG import could crash.<br />
6. Changed: &#039;Peak Level&#039; values calculated by the audio analyzer are R128 True Peak values.<br />
7. Changed: Volume Leveling and Adaptive Volume in Peak Level Normalize mode target -1.0dB instead of 0.0dB (as per R128 recommendations).<br />
8. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
9. Fixed: With memory playback enabled, seeking forward in a track after the track had been fully cached could advance to the next track instead of seeking.<br />
10. Fixed: Seeks could be unnecessarily slow when using memory playback.<br />
11. Changed: Peak Level analysis uses -144.0 dB as a minimum.<br />
12. Fixed: In some cases the output plugin settings in Options &gt; Audio were not being configured for the correct zone.<br />
13. Changed: When starting in Media Server mode, the program more quickly gets servers and TV recording running.<br />
14. Fixed: &quot;jpeg&quot; is now an allowable format for cover art.<br />
15. Fixed: The television recording conflicts warning did not work properly when stacked channels were involved.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.10 (7/17/2013)'''
1. Fixed: &#039;Analyze Audio&#039; was not available in the right-click menu for video files.<br />
2. Changed: The internal library version has been incremented. &nbsp;It will no longer be possible to load a library from this version with an older version.<br />
3. Changed: Revised the data type of the &#039;Peak Level&#039; field so that it uses decibels and contains per-channel peak levels.<br />
4. Changed: Removed Replay Gain fields, since Replay Gain has been replaced by R128.<br />
5. Changed: Bumped up PIX01 limits to 200 images and 6 videos per gallery. Maximum gallery size is 600M.<br />
6. Fixed: Server serving live television programs to clients did not work with the new channel stack system.<br />
7. Fixed: A few possible cases where background threads that showed user interface could hang or cause a focus shift.<br />
8. Changed: Added additional logging to the search suggestion system to help debug performance issues on some machines.<br />
9. Fixed: R128 Dynamic Range analysis was not handling gating properly in build 19.0.9, leading to incorrect readings in some cases.<br />
10. Changed: When parsing strings into numbers, parsing math expressions, etc. both types of minus will be honored (&#039;-&#039; and &#039;&#8210;&#039;).<br />
12. Changed: Improved how Adaptive Volume reports in Audio Path, including more detail and the current volume change.<br />
10. Changed: DLNA added missing evented variable.<br />
11. Fixed: DLNA renderer wasn&#039;t sending events on track change when used with a controller that supported SetNextAVTransportURI (Media Steersman).<br />
12. NEW: Added FirstNotEmpty(...) expression function to output the first value that is not empty from a variable size argument list.<br />
13. SDK: Added MCWS/v1/Playlists/Add function to the web service to allow playlists and smartlists to be added.<br />
14. Changed: Switched the naming in the audio / video bitrate monitoring filters used during video playback to &#039;JRiver&#039; from the older &#039;J. River&#039;.<br />
15. Fixed: MCWS/v1/Zones/Unlink was not working properly.<br />
16. Changed: When searching in Options, the available choices are also searched for most options instead of only the selected option (not available for all options, since some lists are built on demand when they&#039;re opened).<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.9 (7/9/2013)'''
1. Fixed: DLNA bug where SetNextAVTransportURI gets called at least once even when disabled.<br />
2. Fixed: DLNA polling interval bug, reduce chatter.<br />
3. Changed: DLNA handle bug from some renderers which mis-spell NOT_IMPLEMENTED!<br />
4. Fixed: When the mouse left a list, the mouse-over selection state could stay visible in certain cases.<br />
5. Fixed: The installer could fail during a fresh install in some cases.<br />
6. Changed: Removed MPL v1 parsing support (JRiver has been writing MPL v2 for many years).<br />
7. Changed: Removed legacy MJMETADATA tag save / load code (not used since around MJ8).<br />
8. Changed: Removed support for loading MJ8 libraries directly (please use MC18 to upgrade then migrate, or else just import files again).<br />
9. <b>NEW: R128 loudness</b> (LU) and dynamic range (LRA) calculations are part of audio analysis.<br />
10. Changed: DSP Studio &gt; Volume Leveling is now built on top of R128 instead of ReplayGain.<br />
11. <b>NEW: Analyze Audio for video</b>]<br />
12. Fixed: Right-click menu and some other popup windows was prematurely destroyed when CableCARD television tuner devices were involved.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.8 (7/8/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Message box message &quot;This feature is only available to Last.fm subscribers.&quot; was not translated.<br />
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (<b>thanks kelijun</b>).<br />
3. Fixed: Typing in the Options search box could temporarily shift focus, causing the first letter to get replaced by the second letter.<br />
4. Fixed: Downloading files larger than 2GB could fail.<br />
5. Changed: Tuned how the time remaining is reported in the Action Window during downloads (to work better with large downloads and to be more concise).<br />
6. <b>NEW: Media Center uses LibRaw</b> for RAW image decoding and analyzing (thanks LibRaw, Alex Tutubalin, and Dave Coffin).<br />
7. Changed: Media Center will prevent the system from going to sleep while doing a handheld transfer.<br />
8. Fixed: When converting some FLAC files to ogg, it will no longer tag as &quot;ogv&quot;<br />
9. Changed: Dutch language translation updated (thanks bennyd).<br />
10. <b>NEW: Television channel stacking</b>. &nbsp;Channels that carry the same programs can be stacked into a channel pool. &nbsp;Only the stack top is visible in UI.<br />
11. Fixed: In Performer Store, following purchase of an album, the list of available assets for that album could be incorrect and the price for a track could be listed the same as the album price.<br />
12. Changed: RAW image decoding uses the white balance as shot by the camera instead of always using &#039;Daylight&#039; white balance.<br />
13. Fixed: Server computer would not go to sleep after serving live television to clients.<br />
14. Fixed: Movie ripping was not working at all in recent builds.<br />
15. Changed: Movie rip action window is now closed immediately after a cancel confirm pop-up or a ripping error pop-up was shown.<br />
16. Fixed: If a movie rip was aborted due to lack of disk space, the action window could appear to be stuck.<br />
17. Fixed: MC could crash when stopping playing a CableCARD tuner, especially in Red October HQ.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.7 (7/1/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: When configuring playback options (audio, video, image), the dialog will clearly show what zone is being configured</b> and allow switching the zone.<br />
2. NEW: Remote zones (DLNA renderers and Library Server zones) better message and disable things that are not possible like Options &gt; Audio, DSP Studio, volume modes, etc.<br />
3. Changed: Changed several video options to zone-specific (Red October mode, edge cropping, default aspect ratio, hardware acceleration).<br />
4. Changed: ASIO stores the active device based on the CLSID of the driver instead of the index so that changing installed ASIO drivers won&#039;t break configured zones.<br />
5.<b> NEW: Revised how output modes and devices are selected</b> in Options &gt; Audio.<br />
6. Fixed: Some Action Window pages would not show their controls properly after minimizing and restoring.<br />
7. Changed: When displaying the name of a device in Options &gt; Audio, a cleaner will be run so Windows names like &#039;Speakers (2- AudioQuest DragonFly)&#039; will show more cleanly as &#039;AudioQuest DragonFly&#039;.<br />
8. Fixed: Album and artist fields in &quot;Podcast tag and file renaming rules&quot; now work as expected.<br />
9. Fixed: Ogg Vorbis now fills its compression field with &quot;Ogg Vorbis&quot;<br />

11. <b>NEW: Startup and inter track silence will be honored when bitstreaming DSD</b>.<br />
12. Changed: Added another method for catching media keys so that &#039;Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center&#039; won&#039;t stop media keys from working when the program doesn&#039;t have the focus.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.6 (6/27/2013)'''
1. Fixed: HDHomeRun PRIME CableCARD tuners did not work.<br />
2. Faster: Optimizations to core string engine, helping performance in many areas of the program.<br />
3. <b>Faster</b>: The sorting system used when dealing with category items (albums, artists, etc.) is faster at dealing with numeric sorts.<br />
4. Changed: Added a tooltip to the &#039;Cover View&#039; button at the top right of library views.<br />
5. Changed: Internal consolidation in the user interface library to remove some legacy (and no longer needed) systems.<br />
6. Fixed: Image editing could lead to a crash on shutdown.<br />
7. Changed: Converted audio files will no longer have the audio analysis values (Replay Gain, etc.) copied from the source file (the encoding could have changed the correct values).<br />
8. Fixed: Moving the mouse while the sort all / inside groups menu was showing would incorrectly simulate a column header drag.<br />
9. Fixed: 3d objects in Theater View were not drawing properly on some XP machines.<br />
10. Changed: Dutch language translation updated (thanks bennyd).<br />
11. Fixed: The quick find toolbar in a list (F3) didn&#039;t look nice with the Black on Black skin.<br />
12. Faster: Work to reduce the number of timers running to check things, update things, etc. (the idle timer load is now about 6x smaller than it was before).<br />
13. Fixed: The &#039;Help&#039; button in Options could go to the wrong page in some cases.<br />
14. Fixed: On Edit Channel list dialog some channel details were not shown for QAM and CableCARD channels.<br />
15. <b>NEW: When adding a zone, it&#039;s possible to copy the settings</b> from an existing zone to the new zone.<br />
16. NEW: When a column header is not wide enough to show all of its text, a truncation tooltip will be shown.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.5 (6/25/2013)'''
1. Changed: Reduced the latency of the JRiver ASIO driver.<br />
2. Changed: Lists now allow two expression columns to be added that use the same expression (or that both have empty expressions).<br />
3. Changed: When returning to Theater View, if the previously selected list index has a different name (due to database changes, etc.) the selection will reset to the top of the list.<br />
4. Fixed: Some commands on the right-click menu of a zone to control Zone Linking could operate on the current zone instead of the right-clicked zone.<br />
5. Changed: The input stage of the playback engine has one fourth the latency (now about 1.5ms at 44.1kHz, down from 5.8ms).<br />
6. Changed: Tuned the list of WavPack hybrid mode bitrates a little more.<br />
7. <b>Faster</b>: Revised the layout engine used for user interface and views so that it won&#039;t hide and reshow a control unnecessarily during a layout.<br />
8. Fixed: Clicking off a pending Tag Action Window change onto a list could discard the click on the list.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.4 (6/24/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Accepting an edit control suggestion could lead to a crash.<br />
2. Fixed: The 64-bit ASIO driver would not register properly on a clean install.<br />
3. Changed: When playing mono (1 channel) audio, Parametric Equalizer will treat the mono channel as &#039;Left&#039; so that it&#039;s possible to manipulate these streams.<br />
4. Fixed: The Tag Action Window could flicker during resizing.<br />
5. Fixed: A menu or combobox list would not always go away properly when activating a different window.<br />
6. Fixed: Tuned the list of WavPack hybrid mode bitrates.<br />
7. Changed: Improved how latency is managed for ASIO driver playback.<br />
8. Changed: Added 5ms as possible buffer size choices for WASAPI and ASIO.<br />
9. Fixed: Some ALAC files (e.g. those produced by &#039;Sound Studio 3&#039;) were not playable because of a strange looking &#039;alac&#039; mp4 atom. &nbsp;We now ignore the strange data.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.3 (6/21/2013)'''
1. Changed: ASIO always rolls silence on pause similar to WASAPI (instead of this being a user option).<br />
2. Changed: The ASIO buffer size configuration uses a combobox instead of a slider for buffer sizes.<br />
3. <b>NEW: Added SaveAdd(...) expression</b> function to make it easier to add numeric or string values to an existing variable.<br />
4. Fixed: <b>Hulu</b> playback was not working after some Hulu site changes.<br />
5. Fixed: A relative path that starts with a backslash could incorrectly end up with a filename that had two backslashes after the drive.<br />
6. Changed: Integer numeric fields will better support large values (greater than 2 billion).<br />
7. Fixed: JRSS downmixing was not always energy neutral when downmixing to mono.<br />
8. Fixed: The 12th Car Radio button was not working.<br />
9. Changed: Updated the internal core JRiver redirect for v19.<br />
10. Fixed: Playback of certain streaming video could lead to crash.<br />
11. Fixed: MC will no longer hang when trying to connect to a media server with a password. &nbsp;12. NEW: Memory playback caches decoded data instead of encoded data (meaning all forms of lossless are identical in memory and resource usage during playback).<br />
13. Changed: The Playing Now / Playing From tree items will only auto-expand one time each run, so after collapsing the &#039;Playing Now&#039; tree item it will not reopen automatically.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.2 (6/20/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: Added ASIO driver to allow using the JRiver engine for playback from other programs</b>.<br />
2. Changed: Updated splash screen, about box, etc. for v19.<br />
3. Fixed: A few migration issues from the change to v18.<br />
<br /><br>'''19.0.1 (6/19/2013)'''
First build of MC19<br />

==Media Center 18==
'''18.0.212 (8/5/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Exiting Theater View while the &#039;News&#039; view was loading could crash in some cases.<br />
2. Fixed: JTV video conversion lip-sync problem.<br />
3. Fixed: The option to start playback of the current playlist would not work when MC was configured to start when Windows loaded.<br />
4. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.58.2 (thanks nevcairiel).<br />

10. Changed: When acting as a DLNA renderer, Media Center will use &quot;error free&quot; mode so that playback errors won&#039;t cause message boxes to display (since the controller is normally in a different place).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.194 (6/3/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Podcasting could cause the user interface to be sluggish in some cases when first starting the program.<br />
2. Changed: Switched Direct Sound output to always use 24-bit integer instead of 32-bit floating point (because it appears some devices don&#039;t work nicely with 32-bit floating point).<br />
3. Fixed: MC could hang or crash when changing television channels on the fly.<br />
4. Changed: Revised the presentation system used by Theater View on Windows 7 and Windows 8 to be more efficient (also fixes a Windows 8 dead-lock with regards to child windows intersecting with windowed 3d windows).<br />

4. Fixed: Stopping or switching tracks during Library Server client playback could lead to a crash.<br />
5. Fixed: <b>WASAPI with event style disabled</b> could buffer shortfall unnecessarily in the last few builds (normally sounds like ticks).<br />
6. Fixed: If the selected output plugin could not be found, the program could switch to ASIO instead of the default Direct Sound.<br />
7. Fixed: When connecting to a library that required a password, the program could dead-lock in some cases.<br />
8. Fixed: Entering a &#039;Q&#039; value of over 1.0 for a shelf filter with Parametric Equalizer would cause crackling during output.<br />

6. Fixed: Pushing enter in an image editor toolbox control could cause unexpected results.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.191 (5/28/2013)'''
1. Changed: Default graph-building for analog television tuners is more robust.<br />
2. Changed: Added the ability to select the output bitdepth when using Kernel Streaming (Options &gt; Audio &gt; Output mode settings...).<br />
3. Changed: MC automatically detects whether <b>Ceton InfiniTV</b> (and possibly other CableCARD television tuners) are in used (by another application or on another computer on the network), so there is no need to manually allocate the tuners for each computer.<br />
4. Changed: Updated Korean language file (<b>thanks Junghwan</b>).<br />
5. Changed: Updated Polish translation (<b>thanks Janusz Grzybek</b>).<br />
6. Fixed: When emailing images, it wasn&#039;t possible to pick the option &#039;Original size&#039;.<br />
7. Fixed: Audio Path could incorrectly account for the output bitdepth in the last few builds causing it to incorrectly say &#039;not using enough bits to output the input directly&#039;.<br />
8. Fixed: DoPE bitstreaming was not working properly in the last few builds.<br />
9. Changed: The volume and mute state for a DLNA device is queried in a background thread so that unresponsive devices will not slow or freeze the user interface.<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.187 (5/16/2013)'''
1. <b>NEW: The &#039;Output Format&#039; settings are honored in DSP Studio when doing a handheld conversion</b> (allows resampling (by each input sample rate), and channel up/down mixing).<br />
2. Changed: When converting a file with a bitdepth greater than 24, the engine will convert to 24-bit (with dither) to feed the encoder (since few encoders support more than 24-bit files).<br />
3. <b>NEW: DSD files support conversion to a handheld</b> (requires enabling DSP Studio for the conversion and picking a sample rate that will work like 44,100 or 48,000 Hz).<br />
4. <b>NEW: DSP Studio can be enabled during audio conversion</b> (Library Tools &gt; Convert Format), allowing resampling, channel mixing, convolution, etc.<br />
5. <b>NEW: When converting videos, a checkbox &#039;Convert video to audio&#039; is provided</b> so that you can extract the audio out of any videos and optionally apply any DSP (thanks to jmone for the inspiration).<br />

1. Fixed: <b>WASAPI</b> was not working in non-exclusive mode in certain cases.<br />
2. Changed: Revised the error messaging system for output plugins so that they never show their own errors but errors they raise can be shown by the framework (previously the error messages could cause a hang during video playback).<br />
3. Changed: Removed the ASIO option to &#039;Display diagnostics when starting ASIO&#039; because all diagnostics are written to the log file (Help &gt; Logging).<br />
4. <b>NEW: Theater View television guide hides channels marked as hidden and adds a &#039;Favorite&#039; view for favorite channels</b> (requires resetting Theater View views in Options &gt; Theater View &gt; Reset!...).<br />
5. Fixed: CableCARD tuners were inadvertently included in the list of analog devices during analog or STB channel scanning.<br />
6. Changed: Updated Chinese language text file to reflect recent changes (<b>thanks kelijun</b>).<br />

9. Changed: Hidden channels won&#039;t have EPG data loaded for them so you will need to manually reload the EPG if you reshow a hidden channel (done for efficiency).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.185 (5/15/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Video conversion could crash in some cases.<br />
2. NEW: When scanning for <b>CableCARD and set top box channels</b>, the easier automatic EPG option will be offered.<br />
3. Changed: The guide settings used in channel scanning and EPG loading will be shared.<br />
4. Changed: TV channel scanning uses radio buttons to pick a scan type (digital, analog, CableCARD, etc.) and only does one type of scan each run. &nbsp;Run the scanner multiple times if you need to do more than one type.<br />
5. Changed: When loading a television program guide, the question to &#039;keep&#039; vs &#039;overwrite&#039; guide identifiers will only be shown if auto-matching would actually overwrite something (normally it wouldn&#039;t, so the question was meaningless).<br />
6. Changed: Simplified the wording on the scan for channels dialog.<br />
7. <b>NEW</b>: When picking a television guide program in Theater View, the option &#039;<b>Tag Channel</b>&#039; is offered. &nbsp;It allows making the channel a favorite, hiding the channel, or custom keyword tagging.<br />
8. Changed: Switch Options &gt; Television to use an options tree (allows scrolling with large fonts, supports search, allows nesting advanced, etc.).<br />
9. Changed: Moved all TV tools that were under the &#039;TV Options...&#039; button in Standard View &gt; Television into Options &gt; Television. &nbsp;&#039;TV Options...&#039; now just shows Options &gt; Television.<br />

3. Fixed: Bitstreaming of audio during video playback was not working in some cases.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.183 (5/13/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Audio Path was not correctly reporting the output bitdepth in some cases due to the new audio bitdepth system.<br />
2. Changed: <b>Removed WaveOut</b> output plugin (it was a legacy mode only needed on (very) old versions of Windows that are no longer supported).<br />
3. Changed: <b>Merged &#039;WASAPI - Event Style&#039; and &#039;WASAPI&#039;</b> into a single output plugin. &nbsp;If you required &#039;WASAPI&#039;, you may need to reconfigure your audio output settings.<br />
4. Changed: ASIO supports encoding the output as AC3 using DSP Studio &gt; Output Format (requires downstream AC3 decoder or you will hear white noise).<br />
5. Fixed: When scanning for Set Top Box channels, cable channels 3 and 4 were not presented as possible channels on which the set top box fed signal to capture device.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.182 (5/10/2013)'''

2. Fixed: The playerbar in Display View would not reliably reappear after hiding unless the display was clicked.<br />
3. Fixed: Some m4a and alac files would not import or play because of a mismatched sample count in the mp4 STTS header. &nbsp;We now ignore this error since it shouldn&#039;t impact playback performance.<br />
4. <b>NEW: DLNA image slideshow</b> when pushing an image playlist to a renderer. Follows slideshow logic that MC uses including the image duration in Options-&gt;Images-&gt;Slide Show Duration.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.180 (5/8/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Theater View remote focus could shift incorrectly when using the on screen keyboard.<br />
2. Changed: Switched <b>YouTube</b>&#039;s view order in Theater View so that &#039;Search&#039; is on the left so it&#039;s a single arrow away instead of at the end of the roller.<br />
3. Changed: Updated German language file (<b>thanks Bytestar</b>).<br />
4. Changed: Updated Polish translation (<b>thanks Janusz Grzybek</b>).<br />
5. Changed: Czech language translation updated (<b>thanks Johnny B</b>).<br />

6. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (tranditional and simplified) (<b>thanks kelijun</b>).<br />
7. Fixed: If a large Photoshop image failed to load, it could cause a crash.<br />
8. <b>Faster</b>: Decoding a PSD image saved as RGB (8-bit or 16-bit color) is much faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.178 (5/6/2013)'''
1. Fixed: MC would crash recording television in TS format in the last couple of builds.<br />
2. Changed: Updated Korean language file (<b>thanks to Junghwan</b>).<br />

2. Fixed: Focus could shift unexpectedly to the list when navigating some rollers in Theater View with build 176.<br />
3. Changed: Added a new stock field &#039;Popularity&#039; (string that supports flexible values; web radio uses it to put something like &#039;3123 listeners&#039; in).<br />
4. Fixed: The Theater View file info template option to &#039;Hide when empty&#039; was not working for some fields like number of plays that showed &#039;never played&#039; when empty.<br />
5. Changed: Theater View&#039;s Playing Now shows artist backdrops when playing web radio stations that contain ICY metadata.<br />
6. Fixed: PNG images that used 1-bit or 4-bit palettes were not loading properly.<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.176 (4/29/2013)'''
1. Changed: When there&#039;s a 3d drawing error, the error text will not appear for a little while so that coming out of madVR exclusive, which could require a reload of a 3d device, will look cleaner.<br />
2. Changed: If Theater View fails to load and reloads, it will stop trying to reload after 3 reloads in 30 seconds (to avoid looping forever if something isn&#039;t working).<br />
3. Changed: <b>Red October</b> will use DXVA Copy Back with nVidia hardware when possible instead of CUVID when using madVR ( [http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80258.0 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80258.0] ).<br />

1. <b>NEW: ASIO output supports DSD bitstreaming using DoP</b>.<br />
2. Fixed: Some videos during conversion would not detect the end of stream properly, so could stop a few seconds early.<br />
3. Changed: Removed the safety valve in the video converter that would stop a conversion if it stalled for too long (Red October should make it unnecessary, and it&#039;s possible the valve triggered in cases where it shouldn&#039;t).<br />
3. Changed: When multiple optical media disks are present, Theater View now shows the first one available rather than none.<br />
4. Fixed: Queued files for a data disc burn could not be seen because &quot;Show files in subfolders&quot; button was not available.<br />

6. Changed: Media network, fix xbox 360 conversion crashes.<br />
7. Fixed: Crash could occur when clicking the &quot;Rip Tracks&quot; button in the CD header view.<br />
8. Changed: When ripping audio from multiple drives, the &#039;Details&#039; button in the Action Window jumps to the first drive instead of showing an overview view for all drives (which didn&#039;t have the same functionality so could be a little confusing).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.174 (4/25/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The progress shown for an individual video file during conversion was not displaying correctly.<br />
2. Fixed: Image playback from Library Server was not working in the last few builds.<br />
3. Fixed: If the computer slowed down too much during concurrent video conversions, it could stop a conversion early.<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.173 (4/24/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Pressing Pause button while television was playing in non-time-shifting mode put television in partially paused state (audio continued to play while video was paused).<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.172 (4/22/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The launcher didn&#039;t have the full program name embedded in it, so file associations could show they were associated with &quot;Media&quot; instead of &quot;JRiver Media Center 18&quot;.<br />
2. Fixed: If a DLNA device requested metadata for a file that&#039;s no longer in the library (or never was in the library), it could crash.<br />
3. Changed: When converting a video file, aggregates with names like &#039;Index.bdmv&#039; and &#039;Video_TS.vob&#039; will use the name field for building the new filename instead of preserving the existing filename.<br />
4. Changed: Video conversion could stop early if the encoder paused for a while; now it waits much longer before deciding something went wrong.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.171 (4/19/2013)'''
1. Fixed: A call to JRWorker.exe to import a file (used for video) could fail when the video was referenced in a playlist.<br />

7. Fixed: In some cases, the row of times at the top of the Theater View television guide could stop updating as you scrolled right.<br />

11. Changed: Red October uses <b>LAV filters</b> version 0.56.2 (<b>thanks to nevcairiel</b>).<br />
12. Fixed: MC could crash if user tried to stop a television playback immediately after starting to play a channel.<br />
13. Changed: Television engine ignores Stop request if it has not finished starting to play a channel.<br />
14. Changed: If the program is configured to use a cover art folder that is not available or writable, the default cover art folder will be used for that run of the program (the same validation runs when setting a folder and won&#039;t allow you to set a non-writable folder).<br />
15. Changed: If the program is configured to save art next to files, it will nicely handle cases when sidecar artwork is not writable on the file system (by falling back to the cover art folder).<br />
16. Changed: <b>DLNA</b>: Allow playlist manipulation in conjunction with setNextAVTransportURI.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.170 (4/16/2013)'''

<br /><br>'''18.0.169 (4/15/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Ceton InfiniTV (and other OpenCable devices) did not work in client-server situation (i.e. client could not play a cable channel with tuner only available on server).<br />

3. Fixed: When increasing the size of image-based subtitles using the &#039;Size&#039; setting, a subtitle could get too large to fit on the video and get truncated (now the subtitle will not be sized beyond the point of filling the video).<br />
4. Changed: The AAC encoder for video conversion to get better quality audio.<br />
5. Changed: Text subtitles use a slightly smaller default size (size is customizable in Options &gt; Video).<br />
6. Changed: SSA subtitles honor the font size specified in the SSA style block more exactly.<br />
7. Changed: When text is both outlined and drop shadowed, it will look better.<br />
8. Fixed: SSDP servers were not working properly in 18.0.167.<br />
9. Changed: Added &#039;10 channels&#039; as a possible output mode in DSP Studio &gt; Output Format.<br />
10. Fixed: Stopping video playback that was using a third-party COM-based playback engine could cause problems.<br />
11. NEW: Holding down the Shift key while double-clicking an audio track will start Play Doctor playback with that track (equivalent to right-click &gt; More Play Options &gt; Play (with Play Doctor)).<br />
12. Changed: Tuned some Theater View margins and sizing so that the information below the television guide is exactly large enough for a title and two lines of description.<br />
13. Changed: When picking a program in the future or past from the television guide in Theater View, the option to &#039;Watch Channel Live&#039; will be available (the option is simply called &#039;Watch&#039; if the program will be on within 15 minutes).<br />

4. Changed: Added a &#039;Record&#039; item that shows more detailed status about recording to the Theater View TV Guide file info template (requires a reset of File Info templates in Options &gt; Theater View &gt; Customize file info panel... &gt; Manage &gt; Reset All Templates To Default).<br />
5. Fixed: Ceton InfiniTV (and other OpenCable devices) did not work in non-time-shifting mode.<br />
6. Changed: The clock in Theater View&#039;s Obsidian skins shows in any library view filled with TV guide entries, instead of only showing at a view with a literal name Video\Guide.<br />

7. Changed: When a Theater View file info template specifies &quot;no image&quot;, space will no longer be left above the text block.<br />
8. Changed: Theater View television guide files no longer show thumbnails (since there never are thumbnails for individual programs at the guide level, they just showed as blanks).<br />
9. Changed: Added expression functions TVInfo(Record) and TVInfo(RecordMark) to make displaying if a guide program will be recorded easier (used by Theater View guide).<br />
10. NEW: Theater View TV Guide uses a normal, user-customizable file info template and caption instead of using hard-coded values (requires a reset of File Info templates in Options &gt; Theater View &gt; Customize file info panel... &gt; Manage &gt; Reset All Templates To Default).<br />
11. NEW: Theater View shows a red record mark next to any TV guide programs that will record.<br />

1. Changed: Updated Theater View Weather to use the latest World Weather Online API (used when NOAA is not available).<br />
2. Fixed: Netflix sign-in window was not working.<br />

2. Fixed: Pasting text with leading newlines into an edit control that isn&#039;t multiline will work better.<br />
3. Changed: A low-pass or high-pass filter set above the Nyquist frequency will act as a pass-through (previously it could run and output out-of-range values, triggering Protect Mode).<br />

2. Fixed: Skins that used glass were not working nicely with webpage and other views that needed to disable glass.<br />
3. Fixed: Some WMV video files would not play (Red October now handles Windows Media screen and voice codecs automatically).<br />
4. Fixed: Showing a right-click menu could leave the focus in an undefined state.<br />
5. Fixed: Drag-n-drop could leave the mouse &quot;captured&quot; by the source window so some mouse actions wouldn&#039;t work properly.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.143 (3/1/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The Move,copy,rename dialog was broken in the previous two builds.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.142 (2/28/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Playing Now Overview was not working nicely.<br />
2. Fixed: Fixed a possible crash due to internal user interface changes.<br />
3. Changed: When displaying Recordings in standard television view, the date column shows the date value from &quot;Date Recorded&quot; field, instead of showing only the day of week name.<br />
4. Changed: Image captions in Theater View show something nice in search, details lists, etc. and are user-customizable (they are still intentionally suppressed in image thumbnail lists).<br />
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (thanks to Junghwnan).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.141 (2/27/2013)'''
1. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).<br />
2. Fixed: Input plugins were not getting properly installed on a fresh install, causing possible import or playback problems.<br />
3. NEW: Added WASAPI Event Style option &quot;Play a little silence on DoP stop (removes click with some DACs)&quot;.<br />
4. Fixed: Television could crash with the last few builds in certain cases.<br />
5. Changed: More work on keyboard focus system (shortcuts were not working in some cases, etc.).<br />
6. Changed: MC18.exe /MCC allows a space after the comma (ie. &quot;MC18.exe /MCC 10011, -1&quot;).<br />
7. Fixed: Auto-complete path suggestions shown in a filename editor could output an extra backslash.<br />
8. Fixed: Pressing tab to select an edit control suggestion could incorrectly shift the focus to the next control on the dialog.<br />

1. Fixed: Broken mp4 autofps transcoding.<br />
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
3. Fixed: Keyboard shorcuts were not always working in some cases depending on the input focus.<br />
4. Fixed: When closing a modal dialog, the input focus would not be restored to the control it was on before the dialog.<br />
5. Fixed: Playing Now would not auto-size columns properly when loading when the auto-size option was enabled.<br />
6. Fixed: Detached display visibility was following the parent window, so switching tabs would unexpectedly hide the detached display.<br />
7. Faster: Returning from full screen image playback is faster.<br />
8. Changed: DLNA: Only provide upnp:albumArtist (Twonky specific field) for devices that specifically request it. This will mostly affect display on renderers when MC is the controller. Some devices accept this field but it interferes with the standard items like {upnp:artist role=AlbumArtist}<br />
9. Fixed: Starting bookmarked audio playback from a stopped state would put the position slider at zero instead of the bookmark position.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.139'''<br />
Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.138 (2/22/2013)'''

Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.136 (2/19/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Get Cover Art From Internet was incorrectly showing a small preview with no dimensions (only applies to last few builds since the JPEG engine was changed).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.135 (2/19/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Gizmo would not connect to build 134 due to an unintentional change in the &#039;ProgramName&#039; MCWS response.<br />
2. Fixed: Switching the focus to a different application while a list editor was open could lead to a crash.<br />
3. Changed: Removed Computer Audiophile scrobbling (it&#039;s no longer supported by Computer Audiophile).<br />
4. Fixed: Editing a scheduler task could switch the time for a one-time event to the current time.<br />
5. Changed: Disable high precision seek for DLNA control, helps with broken renderers (i.e. Denon).<br />
6. Changed: DLNA type for non-converted ts files to work on more devices (i.e. new WDTV and Bravia TV&#039;s).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.134 (2/18/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The position slider was not working properly at the end of a track in some cases.<br />
2. Fixed: Cross-fades were not being applied properly with ranged (CUE, etc.) playback.<br />
3. Fixed: Some WAV files could be incorrectly detected as DTS WAV files, possibly causing them to fail to import or play.<br />
4. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
5. SDK: Setting an audio stream / language with MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_AUDIO_STREAM works with DVD.<br />
6. Changed: Tightened up user-facing naming so the program will only be referred to as &quot;JRiver Media Center 18&quot; or &quot;Media Center&quot; (but not other derivates like &quot;Media Center 18&quot;, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.133 (2/15/2013)'''
1. Fixed: CUE (or other ranged) playback was not handling position correctly on track transitions, so the position slider could show an unexpected result.<br />
2. Fixed: Image acquisition could crash.<br />
3. Fixed: Acquiring images from some WPD devices like an Android phone could show a name of &#039;Not found&#039; instead of something intuitive like &#039;Galaxy Nexus&#039;.<br />
4. Fixed: Some internet radio streams with ICY data were not being supported, causing no metadata and audible clicks (Sky.fm, etc.).<br />
5. NEW: Switched JPEG engines (marginally faster, makes JRImage smaller, and works cross-platform).<br />
6. Fixed: Thumbnails could be incorrect with the new JPEG engine with certain image dimensions.<br />
7. Fixed: A few UI related issues specific to build 132.<br />
8. Fixed: Right-click while holding down the left mouse button could be a little touchy when doing multiple files at once.<br />

1. Fixed: Exporting a playlist with a dot in the name could cause the default export name to be truncated.<br />
2. Changed: DLNA, reworked mimetype and DLNA type for mpeg2-ts containers to better describe them and their content. Could help playback on some devices.<br />
3. Fixed: ATI Theater 550 Pro analog television tuner did not work.<br />
4. NEW: Added &#039;CPU Features&#039; to the System Info report so a user can check if MMX, SSE4.1, etc. is found.<br />
5. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.55.3.<br />
6. Fixed: SACD playback could have a slight tick between tracks when the ISO file used DST compression.<br />
7. Faster: The program does less work between tracks when switching between two files of the same format.<br />
8. Changed: DSD playback as PCM uses continuous filters between tracks instead of new filters each track, removing a possible subtle noise at track boundaries.<br />
9. Fixed: Partial watch marks were showing on unexpected television recordings in Theater View.<br />
10. Fixed: Input focus was not working properly in Display View for the last few builds (so escape, enter, space, etc. didn&#039;t work properly in Display View).<br />
11. Fixed: YouTube integration was not working due to changes to YouTube&#039;s site.<br />
12. Fixed: Unseeded Play Doctor lists with lots of variety were not working.<br />
13. Fixed: A &#039;FILE&#039; line in a FLAC + embedded CUE could cause problems.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.131 (2/6/2013)'''
1. Changed: When bitstreaming DSD using ASIO, five channel content will be output using a standard 5.1 channel ordering (with the subwoofer silenced).<br />
2. Changed: Revised keyboard focus system used by Standard View (hopefully an internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
3. Changed: Switching to a different active program no longer cancels an in-place edit.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.130'''<br />
Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.129 (2/5/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Television recordings were not imported in the last few builds.<br />
2. Fixed: Television channel scanning did not work in the last few builds.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
4. Fixed: A Windows &quot;drive not found&quot; box could appear in some cases.<br />
5. Fixed: A library view that only showed a single file would lead to unexpected navigation results in Theater View.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.128 (2/1/2013)'''
1. Fixed: The random number generator used for ASIO dither could behave as coherent instead of incoherent ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=76912.msg528601#msg528601 ).<br />
2. Faster: The ListCombine(...) and ListCount(...) expressions are much faster.<br />
3. Fixed: Watch marks could show unexpectedly simply because a television recording was configured to start a few minutes before the show started.<br />
4. Fixed: Deleting a file from Media Center and disk while the file was actively being converted by the Format Converter could lead to a crash (the results of doing this will still be undefined; do not delete the original files until after conversion).<br />
5. Changed: Restored support for legacy APE file playback.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.127 (1/31/2013)'''
1. Changed: Red October uses <b>LAV filters version 0.55.2</b>.<br />
2. Changed: When using the IE web browser engine on Windows 8, compatibility mode was not disabled (causing many websites to render incorrectly, including JRiver).<br />
3. Changed: When running a manual import, files previously determined to be bad will be reanalyzed. &nbsp;This makes it easy to get something off the naughty list if it is there incorrectly.<br />
4. Changed: Drag-n-drop of a file into Media Center that was marked as bad will try to reanalyze the file instead of showing a data record with no metadata.<br />
5. Fixed: The vertical sliders in the Equalizer were responding to user input in a reversed direction.<br />
6. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun!).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.126 (1/30/2013)'''
1. Changed: Improved The Onion support in Theater View &gt; News.<br />
2. NEW: Added ListSort(...) and ListClean(...) expressions.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned how the Watched(...) expression and watch marks in Theater View work ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=77602 ).<br />
4. Changed: The IsRange(...) expression function will not consider a string value equivalent to zero when evaluating a numeric range (so IsRange(A, 0-9) will now return 0 instead of 1).<br />
5. Fixed: The Car Radio bar did not work regenerate random smartlists with each click when they were assigned to a button.<br />
6. Fixed: Holding down a Car Radio button could leave the button in a strange state.<br />
7. Fixed: The Media Server tray icon menu would not appear in some cases.<br />
8. Changed: Global expression variables stored with Save(...) can be accessed by using brackets (ie. &quot;Save(It works!, v)[v]&quot; will output &quot;It works!&quot;).<br />
9. Fixed: When returning to Theater View when it was zoomed into a single file, the cursor would not be in a reliable place.<br />
10. NEW: Added ASIO option &#039;Device uses only most significant 24-bits (Lynx, etc.)&#039;. &nbsp;This combined with dithering provides a theoretical S/N improvement for devices where this is true.<br />
11. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).<br />
12. NEW: Added an optional mode to ListCombine(...) expression function to allow outputting only values in common to both lists.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.125 (1/28/2013)'''
1. Changed: Corrected translation errors in Chinese language file (<b>thanks kelijun</b>).<br />
2. Fixed: Empty directory detection was not working with the last couple builds.<br />
3. Changed:<b> LAV Video decoder is used by Red October for DVD decoding in more cases[</b> (should be an internal change, but please report any DVD issues, and include the OS you&#039;re using).<br />
4. Changed: <b>VideoClock</b> works better with videos that start with an unknown frame rate or change frame rates during playback.<br />
5. NEW: Added Options &gt; Video &gt; <b>Display Settings &gt; Wait after change (use if display changes slowly)</b>.<br />
6. Fixed: Image playback and other video hardware accelerated views were not working on some older video hardware.<br />
7. Changed: Renamed &#039;JRSS v2.0™ surround sound&#039; to &#039;JRSS™ mixing&#039; so that it&#039;s more clear it&#039;s used for both upmixing and downmixing.<br />
8. NEW: The computer will <b>not be allowed to sleep while serving media or ripping discs</b>.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.124 (1/25/2013)'''
1. Changed: When running in server mode (MC not visible), only respond to Green Button remote command.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.123'''<br />

2. Fixed: In rare cases TV recordings could be imported as audio.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
4. Changed: Updated to Monkey&#039;s Audio SDK 4.11 (improves encoding and decoding speed by using SSE).<br />
5. Changed: Use backup VIDEO_TS.BUP file if it exists and we&#039;re missing the VIDEO_TS.IFO file.<br />
6. Fixed: TV Guide in Theater View was not showing programs in the future.<br />
7. Changed: Search engine number and date range evaluation was not working as expected in some cases.<br />
8. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.8.<br />
9. Changed: Red October HQ, using madVR, now works nicely with Detached Display (thanks to madshi for adding the interface IMadVRSubclassReplacement to madVR).<br />

11. NEW: Updated Facebook image uploader to use the latest Facebook Graph APIs.<br />
12. Fixed: The thumbnail size slider (and possibly others) were not working nicely with the keyboard and mouse wheel.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.120 (1/22/2013)'''
1. Changed: Improved buffer management in the audio part of video playback so that it better adapts to lumpy decoding, lumpy DSP, and computer performance.<br />
2. Fixed: DVD playback could stutter with the last couple builds.<br />
3. Fixed: Some internet streams using wma format would not play reliably, or would play but crash on stop.  (e.g. streams from SiriusXMStreamer application).<br />

2. Fixed: The 'Reset Settings' dialog was not working nicely with large fonts.<br />
3. Fixed: Tooltips would not hide properly if a popup was shown while they were showing.<br />
4. Changed: LAV's aggressive deinterlacing for MPEG-2 content is disabled for DVD ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=77533.0 ).<br />
5. Fixed: DLNA audio conversion was downmixing to stereo sometimes when it shouldn't have.<br />
6. Changed: DLNA audio conversion: when in the "convert unsupported formats" mode the DSP settings under advanced are now used. This will help when multichannel material needs to be converted to stereo (under advanced) for most devices.<br />
7. Fixed: Thumbnails for some types of videos were not working on Library Server clients (you might need to manually do Cover Art > Rebuild Thumbnail on the client one time).<br />
8. Fixed: Clicking 'Add Note' in the Notes view and immediately switching away could lead to a crash.<br />
9. Fixed: The search control could show a stale tooltip after coming out of Wizard mode.<br />
10. Changed: Convolution auto-configuration switching supports the marker _1764 for a sample rate.<br />
11. Changed: Carnac leaves image names IMG_####, MVI_####, and SAM_#### intact (instead of changing them to Img ####, etc.)<br />
12. Changed: If a video has a pure black frame at the thumbnail location, the thumbnailer will seek one minute farther into the file and try again.<br />
13. Fixed: Date ranges like [Last Played]=10m-300m were not being evaluated properly by the search engine.<br />
14: Changed: DLNA: For aggregate DVD's and MPEG2 DVD Autofps conversion, change the DLNA flags to reflect the target framerate.<br />
15: Fixed: DLNA: When convert when necessary was set for video, mkv's with mpeg2 should have been converted (since the DLNA protocol doesn't require mkv support) but were not. They will be now.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.118 (1/18/2013)'''
1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun!).<br />
2. Fixed: Backed out a change from 18.0.107 that was preventing some renderers from seeing audio and image files.<br />
3. Fixed: In some cases the search engine was not ignoring accented letters as expected.<br />
4. Fixed: The mouse cursor was not changing properly with build 117.<br />
5. Fixed: With certain DSP enabled, it could cause audio during video playback to skip more than necessary.<br />
6. Changed: The mouse wheel on the position slider seeks instead of fast forward / rewinds.<br />
7. Fixed: Mouse wheel handling was not working properly for the last few builds.<br />
8. Changed: JPEG tagging preserves the file creation date.<br />
9. Fixed: Interface plugin views were not working nicely with tabs.<br />
10. Fixed: ZoneSwitch was not working as expected if the play zone was already active.<br />
11. Changed: When attempting to play something other than audio to a linked zone, an error is shown offering to unlink and continue or cancel playback.<br />
12. Fixed: Starting Play Doctor with an empty seed was not working nicely in some cases.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.117 (1/16/2013)'''
1. Fixed: When using the Chromium browser engine and starting directly into Theater View, it could cause problems with madVR entering exclusive mode.<br />
2. Fixed: In some cases MC would report zero files on a valid Blu-ray disc in rip action window.<br />
3. Changed: The launcher accepts a simplified syntax for commands, so "MC18.exe /Command Pause" can be written "MC18.exe /Pause". (/Command is unnecessary for all commands, but supported for backwards compatibility)<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.116 (1/16/2013)'''
1. NEW: DoP bitstreaming supports any number of channels (instead of only stereo).<br />
2. Changed: Audio Path displays more useful information when bitstreaming and it allows the blue light to come on (ie. direct mode).<br />
3. Fixed: A few UI issues with build 115.<br />
4. Fixed: Picking a sample rate in DSP Studio > Output Format could crash in rare cases.<br />
5. Fixed: CD ripping crashes due to internal messaging system changes.<br />
6. Fixed: Browsing for folders using the system dialog didn't properly disable the dialog that started the browse, making it possible to incorrectly perform other actions behind the browse dialog.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.115 (1/15/2013)'''
1. Changed: Audio bitrates for video conversion.<br />
2. NEW: Added MPEG/DVD autofps video conversion.<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.114 (1/14/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Possible crash with build 113 due to internal changes.<br />
2. Fixed: Gapped fade between tracks mode could have an audible hiccup when resampling using the last few builds.<br />
3. NEW: Added 352,800 Hz as a possible resampling option in DSP Studio > Output Format.<br />
4. Fixed: Caching of drive availability could lead to a case where auto-import would incorrectly remove a file on a hard drive that comes and goes (like a USB drive with a power switch, etc.).<br />
5. Fixed: The mouse was not always working nicely with vertical child rollers in Theater View.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.113 (1/11/2013)'''
1. Changed: Renamed the MP4TS conversion selections to H264-TS and made the MPEG2 more consistently descriptive.<br />
2. NEW: Add smart frame rate conversions (_AUTOFPS). H264 targets maintain the original framerate. MPEG2TS targets convert to the nearest valid frame rate.<br />
3. Changed: Updated the DLNA content flags.<br />
4. Changed: the Samsung bd/tv template to remove the PS3 compat flag and to change the default conversion to H264-TS.<br />
5. Changed: Internal revisions to how threads and messaging are handled (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.112 (1/11/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Calibration files that intentionally played sound out only one channel could trigger the pseudo-surround detection algorithm and cause unexpected channel mixing.<br />
2. Fixed: An audio file that could not be parsed could cause a crash during import with build 18.0.111.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />

3. NEW: Audio Calibration tool that can play user configurable test signals useful for calibration and testing (Tools > Advanced Tools > Audio Calibration).<br />
4. Changed: Moved the advanced tool 'Create Test Clips...' into 'Audio Calibration...' (use the 'Create Files' on the bottom left).<br />
5. Fixed: 'Update Library (from tags)' was not working with data files.<br />
6. Fixed: Certain changes made with the 'Organize Favorites...' tool could be lost when restarting the program.<br />
7. NEW: Added basic support for FLAC files with embedded CUE files.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.110 (1/9/2013)'''
1. Changed: When deciding the order of "importance" of various Blu-ray playlists of similar (but different) durations for a movie title, MC now picks based on number of audio streams (if they differ) rather than duration.<br />
2. Changed: If a NaN (not a number) or infinity value enters the audio engine, it will trigger protect mode (protect mode is a digital fuse system added to v16 that switches to silence if an invalid or dangerous signal is played).<br />
3. Fixed: The pink noise creation in build 109 could output incorrect values for the first few samples.<br />
4. Fixed: When deleting a file that had been zoomed automatically in Theater View, the program could go back two levels instead of one afterwards.<br />
5. Changed: The Theater View file info panel no longer hides automatically if the focus shifts to the top roller (because that causes unexpected backs when using a mouse).<br />
6. NEW: The low-pass fiter used for DSD-to-PCM conversion can be configured in Options > Audio > Advanced > Configure input plug-in... > DSD Plugin...<br />
7. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .55<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.109 (1/8/2013)'''
1. Fixed: When playing a long track, volume protection could incorrectly engage and set the volume to 20% when switching to the next track.<br />
2. Fixed: With resampling enabled, the setting to play sequential album tracks gapless would not work properly if the between track mode was gapped.<br />
3. Changed: Switched pink noise generation to use the high quality Larry Trammell method (thanks to Larry).<br />
4. Changed: Create Test Clips (in Tools > Advanced Tools) creates narrow band pink noise that's useful for volume calibration.<br />
5. Changed: Updated the French language translation (thanks rlebrette).<br />
6. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
7. NEW: DSP Studio > Analyzer reports the overall and per channel RMS volume.<br />
8. Changed: Added new formats to the video conversion dialog.<br />
9. Changed: Removed non-streamable conversion formats from DLNA video conversion.<br />
10. Changed: Tweaked WMV conversion.<br />
11. Fixed: Recording a TV channel with channel name containing some special characters might cause unexpected result.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.108 (1/7/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Mouse wheel handling was not working properly in build 107.<br />
2. Changed: Rollers in Theater View support basic HTML text formatting tokens, like several other areas of the program.<br />
3. Fixed: When changing a disc number, the program would not refresh the album analyzer fields like 'Complete Album'.<br />
4. Fixed: When an ASIO driver issued a hardware reset, the program could repeat the last track instead of advancing when using a gap for the between tracks mode.<br />
5. NEW: Added playback commands to skip the the previous and next album or artist (Main Menu > Player > Skip To).<br />
6. Changed: Added support to the launcher (MC18.exe) for commands: /Command PreviousAlbum; /Command NextAlbum; /Command PreviousArtist; /Command NextArtist.<br />
7. Fixed: Some command line commands that used the form MC18.exe /Command Param1 Param2 would not honor Param2 properly.<br />
8. Changed: The pink noise generated by Tools > Advanced Tools > Create Test Clips is at -20dB, a level commonly used for reference volume calibration.<br />
9. NEW: Added 30/60 fps option in Video > Display Settings, to separate 30/60 fps video from NTSC videos.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.107 (1/4/2013)'''
1. Fixed: Loudness was not accounting for reference volume levels lower than 100% properly.<br />
2. Change: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
3. Fixed: The DLNA controller option Disable Transport Events wasn't working.<br />
4. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
5. Fixed: FLAC audio had blank or wrong "Compression" field.<br />
6. Fixed: Returning to Theater View when zoomed to a file could cause there to be no secondary roller.<br />
7. NEW: Allow the title for a DLNA item to be modified by an expression.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.106 (1/3/2013)'''
1. Changed: Red October does not use the decoding built into madVR (was causing problems with DVD playback).<br />
2. Changed: To use video decoding built into madVR, you can use Custom video mode and add a rule to use a 'Video renderer (with integrated decoding)'.<br />
3. Fixed: Playback of CUE files over Library Server client when conversion was enabled did not work nicely.<br />
4. Changed: The 'Bitdepth simulator' in parametric equalizer exposes optional dithering.<br />
5. NEW: Added the output bitdepth '24-bit (with dithering)' to DSP Studio > Output Format.<br />
6. NEW: Dithering of bitdepth conversion is optional with ASIO in Options > Audio Output mode settings. (dithering has no effect / is bit-perfect until you make signal changes like volume or other DSP).<br />
7. Changed: Ratings field is now imported from (and written to) XMP tags in JPEG files.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.105 (1/2/2013)'''
1. Changed: Tuned the DSD-to-PCM low-pass to more aggressively remove high frequency DSD noise since remaining noise can cause plainly audible distortion with some DACs.<br />
2. Fixed: Conversion from 24-bit ALAC audio created 16-bit files.<br />
3. Fixed: Doing a hold-down of the previous / next buttons could cause problems if the mouse moved away from the button before mouse up.<br />
4. Changed: While a button is held down with the left button, the mouse is captured to only that button (previously the button would release if the mouse left).<br />
5. Fixed: The 'Open File' dialog was not working properly with filenames that contained semi-colons.<br />
6. Fixed: Car Radio would act like a button had been held down, even if it had only been clicked.<br />
7. Changed: Made the 'Car Radio' feature optional in Options > General > Features.<br />
8. Changed: When going into a Theater View library item that only contains a single file, the file will be 'zoomed' automatically.<br />

1. Fixed: WAV files created by other programs (like WMP and others) containing tags in the RIFF header could be imported with garbled tag values.<br />
2. Fixed: Holding down the previous and next player buttons was not doing a fast forward / rewind.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Chinese Language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
4. Fixed: YouTube downloads were not working for some videos.<br />
5. Changed: When changing the volume quickly with Loudness enabled, the sound is smoother (previously there could be a subtle ticking sound).<br />
6. Fixed: When rip/encode simultaneous was enabled in advanced rip options, MC would not always allow multiple audio CD's to be ripped concurrently.<br />
7. Fixed: Secure rip log files were not being written with the correct Windows style end of line characters (\r\n).<br />
8. Fixed: wmv encoding. Broken by changes in 18.0.95<br />
9. Fixed: The 'Add New Field' button would unnecessarily disable on the field management dialog when no field was selected.<br />
10. Fixed: When using large fonts, the text in the player area could be the wrong size when using a skin that doesn't support playerbar resizing.<br />
11. Fixed: The IE web browser engine could crash when starting.<br />
12. Changed: When using MCC_PLAY_TV (30002), an error message is shown when the channel specified is not found (previously it would fail silently).<br />
13. Changed: Renamed the new WASAPI - Event Style option from "Maximize hardware volume during playback" to "Maximize device volume during playback" to better match Windows naming.<br />
14. Changed: Removed the 'Mute on start' WASAPI - Event Style option (it was added to see if it helped with DSD/PCM transitions, and it did not).<br />
15. Changed: The WASAPI - Event Style option "Maximize device volume during playback" also clears / restores the mute state if the device is muted.<br />
16. Fixed: Deleting a zone could leave stale 'Send To' menu items in the MRU list.<br />
17. Fixed: When switching to Theater View with a toolbar button, the tooltip could remain visible.<br />
18. Fixed: The math parser did not nicely handle when a function was used with less parameters than it required (applies to Math(...) in expression engine, etc.)<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.103 (12/21/2012)'''
1. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.102'''<br />
Internal build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.101 (12/21/2012)'''
1. Changed: M3U and ASX playlist export could use JRiver-specific XML filenames in some cases.<br />
2. NEW: Added the WASAPI - Event Style option 'Maximize hardware volume during playback'.<br />
3. Fixed: Thumbnail creation for videos was not working in builds 98-100.<br />
4. Fixed: Taskbar button images were not appearing with builds 98-100.<br />
5. Fixed: Additional bug associated with translated television tuner type text string.<br />
6. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks, Vladimir).<br />
7. Change: Updated Chinese Language file.  (Thanks, kelijun).<br />
8. Changed: Updated all translation files to include the latest strings from the source code.<br />
9. Fixed: Ripping multiple audio discs could create a duplicate rip progress action window.<br />
10. Fixed: In certain cases the user would have to click on "Insert a disc and click here" in the rip action window even though an audio disc was already present in the drive.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.100 (12/20/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Subtitles and the OSD were not working with madVR (only applies to builds 98 and 99).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.99 (12/20/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Television channels would not work after changing language used, if television tuner type string had been translated.<br />
2. NEW: Added type "Disabled" on tuner type selection when configuring a television tuner.<br />
3. Fixed: Transparent overlay windows were not drawing properly in build 98.<br />
4. Changed: Revised the new allocation system used for images so that it's as fast on Win8 as it is on Win7.<br />
5. Changed: When exporting a playlist on a Library Server client to M3U or ASX, the server filename will be used if it's reachable by the client (instead of using a URL to the server).<br />
6. Fixed: The program could start at its default window position (maximized on the primary monitor) instead of the last shutdown position.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.98 (12/19/2012)'''
1. Faster: Lower resource usage and faster performance due to core image framework improvements.  More here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=76576.0<br />
2. Changed: Updated the Indonesian translation (thanks elda).<br />
3. Fixed: The program did not nicely handle a streaming HTTP URL that redirected to an MMS stream (used by SiriusXMStreamer, etc.).<br />
4. Fixed: In certain cases, 'Volume Leveling' with Replay Gain might not be enabled even if it looked enabled in DSP Studio (please double-check your DSP Studio setting with the new build).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.97 (12/18/2012)'''
1. Changed: Renamed the DoP marker format 'dCS, Meitner, etc. (0xAA)' to 'Legacy format (0xAA)' since it's only required with older devices.<br />
2. Fixed: Build 95 and 96 were not working on machines without SSE 4.1.<br />
3. Fixed: Following a movie rip, the recently ripped playlist would be continually re-displayed until the action window was closed.<br />
4. Fixed: Disk Writer output could hang in some cases.<br />
5. Changed: Disk Writer names files using the time the output started instead of using artist / name fields (which don't really make sense for video).<br />
6. Fixed: Live source like loopback and line-in did not work nicely with disk writer.<br />
7. Changed: When doing live playback, WASAPI and ASIO were using 10ms as the maximum hardware buffer size.  This could lead to audio hiccups, so now the user setting is always honored.  If you do loopback playback, you might try a small buffer size to reduce latency.<br />
8. Changed: Improved buffer allocation scheme used by WASAPI - Event Style, so that lower latency settings will work better.<br />
9. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.4.MC (custom update for Media Center) when using Red October HQ.<br />
10. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).<br />
11. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.96 (12/17/2012)'''
1. Fixed: The disc insert dialog could display with no default selection.<br />
2. Changed: Improved support for Blu-ray subtitles where multiple subtitles are supposed to appear on the screen at once.<br />
3. Changed: When doing quick zoom (keys 1-9) while viewing an image, the OSD will show the zoom level.<br />
4. Changed: When zooming an image, the OSD shows the zoom level for the default show time of 3 seconds instead of 7 seconds.<br />

6. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.4 when using Red October HQ.<br />
7. Fixed: Blu-ray and DVD discs could not be ripped when selected from the "New Media Action" dialog.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.95 (12/14/2012)'''
1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file.  Thanks kelijun.<br />
2. NEW: You can in-place edit under the mouse cursor by doing a right-click while holding the left mouse button down (or by pressing the keyboard menu key while holding the left mouse button down).<br />
3. Faster: The core string hash function (used to build library views, run searches, etc.) uses SSE 4.1 when possible and is around 3x faster.<br />
4. Faster: Core library data engine is faster when dealing with fields where only some files have a value for the field (makes searches, view switches, etc. faster).<br />
5. Fixed: Launcher commands like MC18.exe /Mode Theater were not working properly if Media Center as not running.<br />
6. Changed: Updated libav for video encoding.<br />
7. Fixed: bug that could cause trouble with some video transcodings.<br />

1. Faster: When clicking the search box, the search suggestion box appears faster.<br />
2. Fixed: Dates way in the future (like 50,000 AD) could cause performance problems.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned the aspect ratio handling for movies and TV shows.<br />
4. Changed: Made thumbnail aspect ratio standardization optional (Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Standardize aspect ratios).<br />
5. Changed: MC will show an information message box when it can not play a television channel due to lack of available tuner.<br />
6. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.3 when using Red October HQ.<br />
7. Fixed: Remove Tags did not work for AIFF files.<br />
8. Changed: Merged the blank thumbnail images for video and television.  Added [MC]\Data\Default Art\NoThumbVideo2x3.png that's used for movies and TV series.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.93 (12/11/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Maximizing and restoring the main window could cause it to get confused about its own visibility, leading to problems with in-place editing (and possibly other things).<br />
2. Fixed: If something were to hide the main window while the Tag Action Windows is editing, it could lead to a crash.<br />
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
4. Fixed: Searching in Options and then clicking 'OK' after making a change could lead to a crash.<br />
5. Changed: ZoneSwitch was only engaging for files in the main library (so not when dragging and dropping from Explorer, etc.)<br />
6. Changed: ZoneSwitch rules that don't specify zones to stop will always be evaluated, regardless of the current zone (rules that specify play and stop zones only engage when the current zone is in the play + stop zone set).<br />
7. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .54.1<br />
8. Changed: Updated madVR to v0.85.2 when using Red October HQ.<br />
9. NEW: Added 'Reverse polarity' filter to Parametric Filter.<br />
10. Fixed: Line breaking rules for text layout could put a trailing parenthesis on its own line (which didn't look right).<br />
11. Fixed: Aspect ratio enforcement for movies and TV series thumbnails was not working nicely with the small icons (Alexicons) in a list.<br />
12. Changed: When using madVR (i.e. Red October HQ), madVR's custom interface is used for video color control.<br />
13. Fixed: Right-clicking on Action Window > Tag > Playlists would show two menus.<br />
14. Fixed: Cleaned up the right-click menu for Action Window > Tag > Playlists so that it only shows items that make sense there (instead of showing all the items the regular tree shows).<br />
15. Changed: When hardware acceleration option is on, television playback prefers DXVA over QuickSync.<br />
16. Fixed: A few problems when ripping multiple movie discs - canceling didn't work, movie name didn't update in the action window, disc wouldn't eject after ripping.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.92 (12/10/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Loudness was not working properly for video playback with some output formats.<br />
2. Fixed: The automation SDK was not supporting name-based function lookups properly in IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames.<br />
3. Fixed: OGG channel mapping for 5, 6, and 8 channel files was not correct.<br />
4. Changed: More improvements to Arabic text rendering.<br />
5. Changed: Updated all translation files to include the latest strings from the source code.<br />
6. Fixed: Track Info visualizations would not always switch their image when switching tracks (may have only applied when using the Chromium engine).<br />
7. Changed: When deleting files not included in a sync, the program will only delete files that are at the location it would have placed the file (the previous safety check tried to look at the base path, but didn't work well with complex base path rules that included expression functions).<br />
8. Changed: TV Recordings list in Television Standard view no longer includes TV shows that are not recordings done inside MC.<br />
9. Fixed: There could be a drawing artifact above the quick find toolbar.<br />
10. Changed: TV series images use the same 2:3 aspect ratio enforcement scheme that movies use.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.91 (12/7/2012)'''
1. NEW: Improved support for Arabic joining and bidi text layout in the font engine.<br />
2. Fixed: Several issues with the COM automation system (only applies to builds after 78).<br />
3. Faster: Drawing in the image editor uses bilinear stretching instead of supersampling to improve performance.<br />
4. Faster: Improved the image editor rendering pipeline when building previews of tool effects.<br />
5. Faster: The image editor 'Crop' tool preview drawing uses a custom SSE routine to darken portions of the image (must faster than a more general purpose method it was using previously).<br />
6. Changed: TV guide entries more than 5 days in advance show the month abbreviated instead of the full name.<br />
7. Changed: Made the Theater View keyboard narrower so that on a 1080p display using default sizing, there's about the same number of rows and columns on the keyboard (makes typing with arrows faster).<br />
8. Changed: Moved the 'Clear' function for Theater View keyboard typing to a key after 'Backspace' instead of putting 'Clear Search' (or similar) on the top roller.<br />
9. NEW: Theater View search supports texting-style typing using the number pad on a remote (1 is backspace, 0 is space, other numbers are letters).<br />
10. NEW: 'Loudness' that applies (roughly) the ISO 226:2003 loudness correction curve as you turn down the volume to provide a more natural volume (requires using Internal Volume, reference level of Internal Volume defines the baseline, no correction is applied at volumes above baseline).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.90 (12/5/2012)'''
1. NEW: Multiple movie discs (Blu-ray, DVD) can be ripped at once.<br />
2. Fixed: Customizing some burn settings like the between tracks mode would not work properly.<br />
3. Changed: Parametric Equalizer only exposes channels above the standard 8 if DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels is configured to use more (also allows accessing up to 32 channels with Parametric Equalizer when using that many channels).<br />
4. Fixed: When making a change in a Parametric Equalizer filter and then immediately switching to a different filter or DSP, the changes could be lost.<br />
5. Changed: With the low and high shelf filters in Parametric Equalizer, the bandwidth setting alters the slope (previously it was ignored).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.89 (12/5/2012)'''
1. Fixed: A few command line issues.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.88 (12/4/2012)'''
1. NEW: ZoneSwitch feature that can route playback to zones based on rules (Menu > Player > Zones > ZoneSwitch...).<br />
2. Fixed: Shell extensions were not working due to command line changes in build 85.<br />
3. Fixed: The Auto-Import dialog could crash in some cases.<br />
4. Changed: When using the automatic EPG download option, genre will be filled.<br />
5. Fixed: Facebook upload was not working properly.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.87 (12/3/2012)'''
1. NEW: The main / default title to play for a Blu-ray will be read from the AnyDVD disc.inf file if it exists.<br />
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file.  Thanks kelijun.<br />
3. Changed: When a 3d Theater View list changes to a full resolution image, the transition is smoother and more efficient.<br />
4. Fixed: Aspect ratio management for thumbnails in Series and Season views for Theater View was not working properly.<br />
5. Changed: Improved how Theater View 3d lists interact with touch.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.86 (12/3/2012)'''
1. Fixed: If Theater View failed to create a device (possibly because of madVR exclusive), it could crash instead of retrying or showing an informative message.<br />
2. Fixed: A few command line things were not working properly with build 85.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.85 (11/30/2012)'''
1. SDK: Added command line option /ShowTreePath.  For example: MC18.exe /ShowTreePath Audio\Recent<br />
2. Changed: Revised command line system used by the main program and the launcher (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
3. Fixed: ID3v2 tags that used UTF-16 for the description field of the image frame (APIC) would not load properly.<br />
4. Changed: Removed mini-skins from the view menu (may return later; more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75971.0).<br />
5. NEW: Revised how movie thumbnails are handled with regards to blanks and aspect ratio (changes are experimental, feedback welcome).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.84 (11/30/2012)'''
1. Changed: The popup message box is replaced with OSD message when starting a television channel in low disk space condition.  The popup could not be seen because it hid behind the main window.<br />
2. Changed: When disk space is lower than 20 GB, television in time-shifting mode will show a warning message periodically.  When disk space is lower than 2 GB time-shifting will be canceled and can not be restarted.<br />
3. Fixed: When switching audio tracks, the program could hang (only applies to build 78-82).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.83'''<br />
Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.82 (11/29/2012)'''
1. NEW: Live playback (ASIO line-in and WASAPI loopback) are available with File > Open Live...<br />
2. [NEW: Created a new latency management algorithm for live playback that better copes with DSPs that work in large blocks like convolution.<br />
3. Changed: The Tag Action Window shows a truncation tooltip on mouse-over for any field name that isn't displayed completely.<br />
4. Fixed: Deleting a zone while it was playing would cause a crash.<br />
5. Fixed: In some cases the Last.fm cache of similar artists would not work properly, causing Play Doctor to be slower than necessary.<br />
6. Fixed: Zone linking and unlinking in conjunction with Play Doctor could lead to problems in some cases.<br />
7. Changed: When a Blu-ray or DVD disc is temporarily unavailable, we no longer pop-up a message box.  Instead, the list view for the disc shows appropriate text about the situation.<br />
8. Fixed: Pane tagging could crash when picking the new value entry for a non-field type category.<br />
9. Faster: The Theater View caption / template system is around 200x faster picking templates for files (should make file and guide views noticeably faster).<br />
10. Fixed: After doing a Ctrl+A, a list could reset the selection to only the first item if the focus shifted.<br />
11. Changed: Keyboard navigation in the main tree skips items that redirect to other items like the root of 'Audio', etc.<br />
12. Changed: Revised the default video views in Standard View (only applies to a new user or if you reset views with View > Add View > Reset All Library Views To Default).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.81 (11/28/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Some video files did not play on Library Server clients.<br />
2. Fixed: MC could not do seeking, FF, REW, jump, etc. on video files that did play on LS clients.<br />
3. Fixed: Shift+Up/Down wasn't working properly in the panes or tree.<br />
4. Changed: Keyboard navigation in a tree no longer triggers auto-expand (use left/right to toggle expansion).<br />
5. Changed: Left/right navigation in the panes works more logically with nested pane values (left/right does expansion on a parent item and switches panes on any other item).<br />
6. Fixed: If starting Play Doctor playback encountered an error, it could crash.<br />
7. Fixed: The Auto-Import dialog could crash with a pure virtual function call (hopefully fixed but unable to reproduce, so please report any problems).<br />
8. Fixed: The 'Close' button on the top right of the bottom list in a library view had incorrect vertical text alignment.<br />
9. Fixed: Vertical text alignment of the main player text could be off a little.<br />
10. Fixed: Closing the program in Media Server mode could leave a view on the screen in some cases when using a glass-based skin.<br />
11. Fixed: In edit controls with spell-checking, the red underline could draw in the wrong spot.<br />
12. NEW: Added WASAPI - Event Style option 'Mute on start (eliminates hardware clicks when starting some hardware)'.  May help DoP / PCM transitions on certain hardware (feedback appreciated).<br />
13. Changed: Background television tasks (such as recording and EPG updating) are ignored if the TV feature is not enabled.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.80 (11/27/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Drag-n-drop into Media Center from an external program was not working.<br />
2. Fixed: The COM automation SDK was not working properly.<br />
3. Fixed: Image playback was not working.<br />
4. Fixed: Mousing over a thumbnail stack in a list did not animate through the images in the stack.<br />
5. Changed: Return of several dialogs, including the incomplete shutdown, favorites organizer, etc.<br />
6. Fixed: The Performer Store was not working with the Chromium browser engine.<br />
7. Fixed: Fixed a couple formatting issues in the Performer Store.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.79 (11/26/2012)'''
1. Fixed: When LS client plays a jtv file that is still actively been updated on the server, the duration was not updated if the "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found" option is on.<br />
2. Changed: "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found" does not apply to jtv files.<br />
3. Fixed: When a button transitioned states, it would animate a larger area of the UI than necessary (causing worse performance, and sometimes dueling animation).<br />
4. Changed: Switched COM automation underpinnings away from MFC (should be internal change, but please report any new issues with plugins).<br />
5. Changed: Updated Chinese language file.  Thanks kelijun.<br />
6. Changed: Removed remaining MFC from main program (some features will be unavailable for a while).<br />

4. Fixed: On Windows 8, a fixed drive could (still) appear as a WMDM handheld device in some cases.<br />
5. Fixed: When using the Chromium web browser engine, clicking a link that received special handling like a download from YouTube could result in an error page being shown.<br />
6. Fixed: The mouse wheel was not working in Theater View with the last few builds.<br />
7. Changed: The Podcast episode tag customization system uses the regular expression engine and expression editing control instead of using a special Podcast-only language.<br />
8. Fixed: Maximizing options could cause clicking in the list to stop working.<br />
9. Changed: Merged the audio CD burning effects options into the main CD burning options page (previously it was a separate popup).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.77 (11/16/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Podcast webpage views were not working nicely with glass-based skins.<br />
2. Fixed: The tooltip on the volume slider would not update while mouse-wheeling to show the new volume.<br />
3. Fixed: If a panes view used the default sorting, right-click and double-click on a pane value could use files in a random order (instead of respecting the default sorting).<br />
4. Fixed: ALAC mp4 files created in MC did not work in iPods because iPods do not support the newer MPEG-4 standard.<br />
5. Fixed: Typed navigation in the panes could behave incorrectly if a pane item got selected that was particularly slow to evaluate.<br />
6. Fixed: Using Party Mode with no password was not working properly.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.76 (11/16/2012)'''
Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />

2. Changed: Updated Pix01 options and login user interface (and fixed a couple bugs).<br />
3. Changed: Updated the 'Manage External Tools' dialog in the Send To (external) menu (now allows ordering).<br />
4. Changed: Removed MFC from Theater View window (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
5. Changed: Tuned the animation used in Theater View to look and work better with a touch screen (in particular, drag and flick scrolling looks more natural and the selection bubble won't separate from the list).<br />
6. Fixed: Main menu shortcuts like alt+f, etc. were not working properly.<br />
7. Changed: In live TV for clients, if a client requests a channel change (of the same channel type), and the tuner on the server is serving that client alone, the channel change will be directly honored without having to load a new tuner.<br />
8. Fixed: Switching between the Podcast root and Podcast home views could lead to problems.<br />
9. Changed: Updated Facebook upload user interface (and fixed a few issues).<br />
10. Changed: Facebook upload uses 1080p as the maximum size.<br />
11. Changed: When uploading images to Facebook, login will only be required for the first uplooad.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.74 (11/14/2012)'''
1. Changed: When manually selecting files from several albums (or other list groupings) and then doing an 'Export Playlist', only files from the first album would get exported instead of all files.<br />
2. Changed: Revised the 'Export Playlist' dialog to use the latest JRiver user interface libraries.<br />
3. Faster: String escapement used for building XML is much faster (used in many places in the program).<br />
4. Changed: Improved the 'Resize Images' tool (can optionally output a copy instead of overwrite, supports output as PNG, etc.).<br />
5. SDK: Skins can customize dialog / wizard header colors[ by adding a <DialogHeader> block to the skin XML and setting the TextColor and BackgroundColor (and defaults to edit colors instead of white / black).<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.72 (11/9/2012)'''
1. Faster: Toolbars are a little more efficient with regards to how they track which buttons should be enabled and disabled.<br />
2. Faster:  Switched core audio engine bitdepth conversion code to use SSE when possible.<br />
3. Faster:  DST decompression (used by SACD and DFF files) uses 4 threads for decoding instead of running single-threaded.<br />
4. Fixed: Streaming Live TV to LS clients did not work for analog tuner/capture devices.<br />
5. Changed: Updated simplified Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
6. Faster:  Theater View 3d lists are more efficient.<br />
7. Faster:  Creation of fonts that target an ideal size is much faster and more efficient (makes loading Theater View faster, etc.)<br />
8. Changed: Updated Smartlist import / export dialog, import summary dialog, the clear library confirmation dialog, and add virtual handheld dialog to use latest JRiver user interface libraries.<br />
9. Changed: When exporting a smartlist to a file, UTF-8 encoding is used (import should support any format).<br />
11. Changed: Updated the player area text customization dialog (now uses standard expression editors, and exposes all the available special variables in the menu).<br />
12. Changed: A drive exposed via WMDM will not appear as a handheld if it's larger than 300GB.<br />
13. Changed: Removed 'Download more encoders...' button from Options > Encoding (all JRiver encoders are included with the program).<br />
14. Changed: Moved interface plug-in management to Options > Services.<br />
15. Changed: Move the 'Add Plug-in' button of Plug-in Manager to Options > General > Advanced > Add plug-in from file... (only really useful when developing a plugin).<br />
16. Changed: Removed Plug-in Manager.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.71'''<br />
Experimental testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.70 (11/6/2012)'''
1. Fixed: On Windows 8, a fixed drive could (still) appear as a WMDM handheld device in some cases.<br />
2. Fixed: Volume hotkeys (remote or keyboard) were running the system volume instead of the Media Center volume (which might be set to 'Internal Volume', etc.) on Windows 8.<br />
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
4. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .53. Many fixes and changes, especially in DVD playback.<br />
5. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.84.7 when using Red October HQ.<br />
6. Changed: DVD playback in Red October HQ mode now uses LAV video decoding and madVR rendering. Previously it used the Microsoft decoder and EVR.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.69 (11/5/2012)'''
1. Changed: The expression TVInfo(SeasonDisplay) only prepends the word "Season " to numeric season values, so using a word like "Specials" won't end up as "Season Specials".<br />
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
3. Fixed: Configuring Convolution before audio playback had begun could lead to a crash.<br />
4. Changed: When switching to Display View or Theater View from server mode, Standard View will first be shown and its position validated (this should be invisible to the user, but may fix rare video playback issues).<br />
5. Fixed: 32-bit integer output was not working properly with Kernel Streaming or WASAPI output.<br />
6. Changed: Added variable [AllSameArtist] that can be used in a Theater View caption expression.<br />
7. Changed: On Windows 8, a fixed drive could appear as a WMDM handheld device in some cases.<br />
8. Changed: Language names for the on screen display are built using the ITrackInfo interface of LAV so that they work better across different videos.<br />
9. Changed: In DVB television playback, if video PID is zero MC will not play the channel in time-shifting mode.<br />
10. Changed: Blu-ray title selection from the OSD shows the duration of each title and doesn't switch titles until 'Enter' is pressed.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.68 (11/1/2012)'''
1. Changed: The keyboard / remote volume keys would not work even when Media Center had the focus on Windows 7 + Intellitype or Windows 8 (seems like a Microsoft bug with a surprising workaround, so feedback appreciated).<br />
2. Fixed: The memory playback option could cause troubles when playing a SACD.<br />
3. Faster: Improved the performance of DST decompression (used with DSD files).<br />
4. Fixed: MP4 files (including ALAC) created in MC were not properly tagged, resulting in some applications not being able to read the tags.<br />
5. Changed: When starting playback of a saved Playchart, the program plays in Play Doctor mode.<br />
6. Changed: When playing a playlist that contained random results (Playchart or smartlist) from Theater View, the same list could play each time unless you navigated to a different view to force a refresh.<br />
7. Changed: Added the expression TVInfo(SeasonDisplay) to output 'Season 1', 'Season 2', etc.<br />
8. Changed: Season artwork will be used when a category is based on TVInfo(SeasonDisplay) (if you reset your Theater View views in the last couple builds, please do so again).<br />
9. NEW: When manually doing a bulk lookup of TV or movie metadata, the process runs in a background thread and shows progress in the Action Window (instead of blocking the main program).<br />
10. NEW: When manually doing a bulk lookup of TV or movie metadata, control is offered for whether it should get images, metadata, and/or replace existing values.<br />
11. Fixed: Bluray and DVD logos were not appearing in the bottom right corner of Theater View flow views when connected to a library server.<br />
12. Fixed: In certain cases, Convolution would not engage properly when configuring it for the first time ever.<br />
13. NEW: Convolution optionally searches for the best match configuration file based on the input format and uses it if a better match is found.<br />
14. NEW: The OSD shows format information below languages.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.67 (10/31/2012)'''
1. Changed: Revised the default 'Series' view in Theater View so that shows without a series name use the program name (instead of all being lumped into an 'Unassigned' bucket).<br />
2. Fixed: An empty expression could display as an error (only applies to the last few builds).<br />
3. NEW: Added support for 'Sony Pictures Digital Wave 64' (.w64) audio format.<br />
4. Fixed: Removed "Recently Watched" category from Netflix since it's not available from their API anymore.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.66 (10/30/2012)'''
1. Changed: Formatting of the short date format (used in Theater View and elsewhere) respects the year, month, day order system setting.<br />
2. Changed: Updated simplified Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.<br />
3. Changed: Improved the file info template that's shown for a Netflix TV series in Theater View.<br />
4. Fixed: The custom star character introduced in build 65 could draw with a circle around it.<br />
5. Changed: Video playback from a URL works better with filters like LAV that read, seek back, seek forward, and read again (so really aren't seeking at all).<br />
6. Fixed: Serving from a UNC / mapped drive could fail if the drive needed a mount (like right after a reboot).<br />
7. Fixed: Remote zones could cause shutdown of Media Center to be slower than necessary.<br />
8. Changed: Playback of Blu-ray with Library Server would take around 20 seconds before showing the error 'Blu-ray playback over Library Server is not supported' (it still isn't supported, but now the error shows right away).<br />
9. Fixed: In cases where LAV could not return the position or duration (like during some URL playback), position or duration values in the player bar could show unexpected values.<br />
10. Changed: When skipping navigation levels that only contain one choice in Theater View, the title at the top shows the text of the item you picked instead of the text of the skipped item.<br />
11. Changed: Revised default Theater View views for television (merged 'Series' and 'Season' views, use 'Season 3' instead of '3' at the season level, sorting is by season, episode, etc.).<br />
12. Fixed: Theater View could show '0 minutes' for short videos instead of something like '15 seconds'.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.65 (10/29/2012)'''
1. Fixed: If a time-shift (DST, BST, etc.) occurred in the middle of EPG data, it could cause programs to appear at the wrong time.<br />
2. Changed: Netflix API url changed to api-public.netflix.com because the old one (api.netflix.com) is going away on November 7.<br />
3. Fixed: When a TV Show does not have a time as part of it's date, it would show 12:00am in Theater View.<br />
4. NEW: Theater View captions can use the variables [AllSameSeries] and [AllSameSeason] to change the caption based on the context of the list.<br />
5. Changed: Lots of tuning to Theater View captions and file info templates, especially for television (shows season / episode, has watch marks, etc.).<br />
6. Changed: Tweaked formatting of some expressions like TVInfo(SizeDisplay), TVInfo(SeasonEpisode), and others to use more concise syntax.<br />
7. Changed: Added date formatting tokens 'shortdate' and 'shortdatetime' used in Theater View.<br />
8. Changed: The Watched() expression function takes an optional mode, and mode 1 returns a numeric code useful for caption expressions.<br />
9. Fixed: Drawing of partially transparent text onto other partially transparent backgrounds was drawing the new text with too much prominence.<br />
10. Changed: Added expression function Delimit(...) to output a value and a delimiter but do nothing if the value is empty (so If(IsEmpty([Track #]), , [Track #].) becomes Delimit([Track #], .)).<br />
11. Fixed: Television engine could load a channel of wrong type which would prevent a correct channel from being played.<br />
12. Changed: The font engine uses a custom image for the star character so that it will work with any font.<br />
13. Fixed: OSD "Adding required components..." was not displayed when television engine downloaded components.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.64 (10/26/2012)'''
1. NEW: Theater View file captions are part of the File Info Template system so are more easily customizable (sorry, but this requires a reset of File Info Template customization).<br />
2. Fixed: The DSD encoder was not accepting 192KHz input.<br />
3. Faster: DSD encoding is faster.<br />
4. Changed: Theater View offers a Russian keyboard (thanks to Nickolay V).<br />

6. Fixed: The display of actors and other list fields for Netflix movies in Theater View was not formatted properly.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.63 (10/25/2012)'''
1. NEW: Added DSD encoder with support for 1x and 2x DSD stored in a DSF file (encoding uses 64-bit data path, JRiver's audiophile-grade upsampler, and 7th order noise shaping + dither).<br />
2. NEW: Added the ASIO option 'Play silence on pause (instead of performing a hardware level pause)' to workaround devices that don't nicely pause or resume.<br />
3. Fixed: Lyrics was truncated to 255 bytes when tagging mp4/m4a files.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.62 (10/25/2012)'''

<br /><br>'''18.0.61 (10/24/2012)'''
1. Changed: Updated simplified Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
2. Changed: Sometimes a channel identifier could change in the automatic EPG loading system and cause the channel to no longer load guide data.<br />
3. Changed: Changed jump behavior when starting a television channel that is currently being recorded. If user starts from the channels list, playback jumps to live time. If user starts a program in Guide, or the jtv file that is currently recording, playback starts at the program start time or bookmark (if exists).<br />
4. Fixed: Pressing escape to close a dialog could crash in some cases.<br />
5. Changed: When an edit control on a dialog has the focus and is being edited, the escape key will stop editing and a second click of escape will close the dialog.<br />
6. Fixed: The print preview dialog was not showing the preview.<br />
7. Changed: Television jtv source filter notifies downstream decoder filters about format change on channel switching, even if it did not detect any audio or video format changes.<br />

11. Changed: Simplified conversion cache settings in Options / File Locations.<br />
12. Changed: Turned on one extra log entry in television time-shifting writer filter.<br />
13. NEW: SACD ISO playback uses gapless mode instead of exactly honoring the track offsets in the disc table of contents (which might not be perfectly gapless).<br />
14. Changed: When editing an auto-import folder, it's possible to change the path (so you no longer have to remove all rules and add them again to switch drives).<br />
15. Changed: Added new media sub-types: Music, Ringtone, Educational, Stock, System, Photo, Book.<br />
16. Fixed: Left / right arrow navigation to flip between panes was not working.<br />
17. Fixed: Drag-n-drop was not showing a nice drag image when dragging from a list.<br />

1. Changed: Updated code signing certificate (please report if UAC warnings show an unverified publisher, etc.).<br />
2. NEW: When registering for an access key or testing an access key, the program will offer to configure the Windows firewall to allow Media Center through (requires UAC prompt).<br />
3. Fixed: User could not manually create a QAM channel.<br />
4. Changed: Switched 'J. River' to 'JRiver' in the EULA.<br />
5. Changed: Video shifting is limited so that at least a small percentage of the video will remain visible.<br />
6. Fixed: In rare cases, the program could start video playback with a black screen and the video shifted far off the screen.<br />
7. Faster: The television recording / subscription algorithm that runs in the background to evaluate what programs to record is several times faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.56'''<br />
Internal testing build.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.55 (10/4/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Some DVB-C channel parameters were not parsed during channel scanning.<br />
2. NEW: DLNA: If supported by the renderer, use renderer muting functions.<br />
3. NEW: Added BD quality mp4ts encoding profile. Works great to the PS3. Needs a lot of CPU for realtime rendering.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.54 (10/3/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Converting audio to ALAC could cause a crash in the last build.<br />
2. Changed: DLNA: SSDP conformance, will allow other devices to better detect MC's server state change upon startup and close.<br />
3. Fixed: Cleanups in http server code.<br />
4. Fixed: Converting multiple audio files at one time could fail.<br />
5. Fixed: Closing the program or loading a new library while converting was not messaging nicely.<br />
6. Fixed: Modulation type drop-down list did not include all choices for DVB-C and possibly for QAM television channel editing/adding tool.<br />
7. Changed: Updated MP3 encoder to LAME 3.99.5.<br />
8. Fixed: If Internal volume was used, then the volume mode switched, in some cases the internal volume could be incorrectly applied during that run of the program.<br />
9. Fixed: Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab was not always switching between tabs.<br />
10. Changed: When the mouse-over view header menu shows, it will activate the view if it's not the active split view.<br />
11. Fixed: When customizing the top and bottom toolbars, the window would not immediately update to show the changes.<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.53 (10/1/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Fonts that were not TrueType, like those used by Sleep Timer, could cause a crash.<br />
2. Fixed: In-place editing in a list like DSP Studio > Output Formats would not work properly when clicking away from a drop list.<br />
3. Fixed: Some low sample rate AAC files that didn't explicitly specify SBR would not play properly.<br />
4. Faster: Improved the performance when bitstreaming DSD.<br />
5. Fixed: When bitstreaming DSD using ASIO, the end of a track could stutter.<br />
6. Fixed: DLNA: updateID wasn't eventing properly. This could have prevented dynamic content updates on devices that relied upon eventing for this (instead of polling).<br />
7. Fixed: MC could crash when sending a file to a DLNA zone that vanished during the send.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.52 (9/28/2012)'''
1. Changed: The border around search suggestions / Play Doctor suggestions is one pixel wide instead of two pixels wide.<br />
2. Fixed: Minimizing the program while playing, then restoring, would cause stale values to be displayed for a little bit in the player bar.<br />

6. Changed: Updated Simplified Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.51 (9/26/2012)'''
1. Fixed: SSA subtitles that were authored for a different resolution than the video itself would position elements incorrectly.<br />
2. Fixed: Line / curve drawing elements in SSA subtitles could show as a string of numbers.<br />
3. Fixed: SSA styles would not load for some videos if the SSA included comments in the style block.<br />
4. Fixed: SSA style alignment could be handled incorrectly for SSA V4.0+ (since alignment changed between SSA V4.0 and SSA V4.0+).<br />
5. Fixed: Text underline did not look right when text was drawing with an outline or drop shadow (like on subtitles).<br />
6. Faster: Revised how text underline is handled so that it's rendered as an after-effect (instead of loading a second copy of the font to draw with underline).<br />
7. Fixed: Web browser views in Theater View could crash when leaving them.<br />
8. NEW: Library Server clients save the contents of Playing Now between runs.<br />
9. Fixed: Drop-panes would unexpectedly hide when the mouse was still over them.<br />

5. Fixed: Changing a file path option would cause the option's label to not appear until leaving and reentering options.<br />
6. Changed: Folder import will not import files from a broken DVD or Bluray aggregate (you can drag-n-drop individual video files from a broken aggregate into the program if necessary).<br />
7. Fixed: Picking 'Show Media Center' from the Media Server tray icon would not always bring the program to the front.<br />
8. Fixed: Some characters like a password dot, trademark symbol, etc. were not drawing.<br />
9. Changed: Updated Simplified Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.48 (9/21/2012)'''
1. Changed: Version 18 no longer works with a version 17 license (because this makes it impossible for people to upgrade from v17 to v18 using the program).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.47 (9/20/2012)'''
1. Changed: Starting Play Doctor with an album as a seed will focus more heavily on that album instead of focusing on all albums by the artist equally.<br />
2. Fixed: Starting video playback could cause a black screen to show until entering and leaving Theater View again.<br />
3. Fixed: The OSD could fail to hide when switching modes, causing it to show in unexpected places like the root of Theater View.<br />
4. Changed: Keyboard navigation in the panes didn't expand / collapse tree items with the left and right keys.<br />
5. Fixed: Saving / loading views was not working properly.<br />
6. Changed: Revised ASIO buffer creation slightly so that it's more likely to use a buffer size that's a power-of-two (which makes some drivers happy).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.46 (9/19/2012)'''
1. Changed: OSD for live television is rearranged to match OSD for other video playback.<br />
2. Changed: OSD title "Save Current time-shifting on stop" is simplified to "Save Current Time-shifting", and the selection "Use global setting in Options > Television", is followed by the actual global setting (such as (Do Not Save)).<br />

6. Fixed: The 'Rip' Action Window could display an incorrect total number of ripped tracks when multiple CD's were being ripped.<br />
7. Changed: The bitstreaming setting from Options > Video is migrated to Options > Audio so no user settings will be lost.<br />
8. Changed: Options > Handheld allows running up to 8 conversions at a time (the previous limit was 4 at a time).<br />
9. Changed: Playchart editing is enabled again (now that Play Doctor is done changing).<br />
10. Fixed: Tooltips were not showing for non-editable Action Window > Tag items.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.44 (9/14/2012)'''
1. NEW: Native ALAC encoder.<br />
2. Changed: The option for bitstreaming audio moved from a video setting to an audio setting (you will have to manually reconfigure bitstreaming one time in Options > Audio).<br />
3. Fixed: Adding a library view could crash.<br />
4. Fixed: Adding a library that pointed to a Library Server was not working properly.<br />
5. Fixed: Clicking the image in the Action Window > Tag page was not zooming into a full page view of the image.<br />
6. Changed: Saved Play Doctor lists (Playcharts) will not be evaluated when looking at the parent playlist group (makes browsing too slow).<br />
7. Changed: Play Doctor lists (Playcharts) show a folder icon in Theater View so they don't have to be evaluated until entered.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.43 (9/13/2012)'''
1. Changed: When searching in the EPG or looking at 'To Be Recorded', it looks out 60 days in the future instead of 7 days.<br />
2. NEW: Improved subwoofer limiter that does frequency-based limiting (more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=62012.0).<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.42 (9/12/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Switching in and out of Theater View could (still) hang if a web page view was showing.<br />
2. Changed: Reworked the rules for OSD showing: the up/down menu position is independent of the temporary status views of position and volume, always starts at the same spot (resets after a minute), etc.<br />
3. Fixed: With madVR, subtitles could draw on top of the OSD if they changed while the OSD was showing.<br />
4. Fixed: Possible rare crash on program shutdown.<br />
5. NEW: Added the ability to browse for sidecar subtitles while playing a video (useful for optical media, or for when the naming convention doesn't match the standards supported by JRiver).<br />
6. Fixed: Switching between a subtitle format and no subtitles could leave the last subtitle showing.<br />
7. Changed: When a previously removed file is reimported, it will always expand and read tags. This fixes issues where deleting, then reimporting would not fix information if it was originally wrong for some reason.<br />
8. Fixed: SND and SACD were incorrectly listed as discrete items in the import file types list (instead of grouped with their appropriate parent).<br />
9. Fixed: Possible crash when deleting items from a list.<br />
10. NEW: When importing CUE files from a folder, the underlying audio files will not be imported.<br />
11. NEW: Import of SACD ISO files works nicely with the regular import tools.<br />
12. Changed: 'Update Library From Tags' works better with SACD files.<br />
13. Changed: When using the new desktop background slideshow builder, the program will use the highest possible resize quality (previously it would use a faster, but slightly lower quality resize).<br />
14. Fixed: When streaming APE files, the last frame could play as silence.<br />
15. Changed: Playback of an APE file could do an unnecessary parse of the APE tag when it reached the last frame of the file during playback.<br />
16. NEW: Revised how linking of remote zones works to work better with Tremote zones ( more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=73907.msg504457#msg504457 )<br />
17. Fixed: Options > File Location was blank.<br />
18. Changed: The 'Details' view for file conversion is labeled 'Converter' instead of 'Video Converter' (since it can do audio or video).<br />
19. NEW: Added 'Subtract' mode to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer > Mix channels.<br />
<br /><br>'''18.0.41 (9/10/2012)'''
1. Fixed: Options > Remote Control could crash or cause troubles when closing options.<br />

2. Fixed: Splitter handles were not drawing in the center of the splitter in some cases.<br />
3. Fixed: The import dialog could crash.<br />
4. Changed: Read-only system edit controls use the same coloring as a regular edit control (which matches how the more common non-system read-only edit controls look).<br />
5. Fixed: The text in the playerbar was not drawing with transparency support, causing trouble for glass-based skins.<br />
6. Changed: The skin item size of the basic button (Frame > Button) is no longer considered when sizing buttons (other skins like Black on Black that use a large button image cause troubles).<br />
7. Changed: MCC_KEYSTROKE will give Media Center the focus before generating a keystroke (please let us know if this causes any issues).<br />
8. Fixed: DLNA: when seeking (time based) into a video, the previous transcode and file were not being cleaned up in some cases (anything MPEG2 and PAL, WMV).<br />

2. Fixed: The enter key was not working properly on some dialogs to execute the selected button.<br />
3. Fixed: Closing a dialog could lead to a crash.<br />
4. Fixed: The field list in the Manage Library Fields dialog was not working properly.<br />
5. Changed: Starting v18 stops any running copies of v17, and clears the setting to run a v17 server on boot.<br />
6. Fixed: Splitter arrows were not working.<br />
7. Internal: More restructuring of the internals of the user interface (borders, eventing, dialog layout, list column headers, etc.).<br />

<br /><br>'''18.0.2 (7/3/2012)'''
1. NEW: Playback of video with a DLNA device that supports time-based seeking (Sony televisions, PS3, maybe others) works great. Removes need for conversion cache, lets playback start instantly, allows bookmarking, etc.<br />
2. Fixed: DVD dimensions were not importing.<br />
3. Internal: Major restructuring of the internals of the user interface. Please report issues with drawing, sizing, mouse handling, keyboard navigation, etc.<br />

<br />
1. Fixed: When syncing library server files to a device on a client with conversion enabled, tags would not get updated.<br />
2. Fixed: DLNA: updateID wasn't eventing properly. This could have prevented dynamic content updates on devices that relied upon eventing for this (instead of polling).<br />

1. NEW: Added support for DSD DoP bitstreaming of 2x DSD (128FS).<br />
2. Updated: Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
3. Fixed: Opening a FLAC file to read tags could unexpectedly cause a padding block to be added to the tag with some files.<br />
4. Fixed: Drawing text with CJK characters would not wrap as expected in tooltips and other areas of the program.<br />
5. Fixed: Playback of converted audio files could start slowly on Android 4.0 and newer.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.182 (7/18/2012)'''
<br />

2. Fixed: An M4A with corrupt frames would be unnecessarily slow to work through the bad frames.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.179'''
<br />
Testing build not released to the public.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.178 (6/29/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Increased the limit of text allowed to be placed on the clipboard in a copy from 2MB to 16MB.<br />
2. Fixed: Video transcodes (DLNA, Gizmo, etc.) would fail to delete temporary output files.<br />
3. Fixed: PAL DVD's played with wrong aspect ratio on Gizmo.<br />
4. Changed: MCC 30002 (MCC_PLAY_TV) now requires a parameter to indicate the user-assigned channel-number.<br />
5. Changed: Added bitdepth (bitsPerSample) to parameters parsed when connecting to a DLNA server.<br />
6. New: DLNA: Aggregate DVD's (ifo) will follow conversion rules (previously they were never converted). This allows them to be played to Xbox360 (wmv) as well as incorporate subtitles to renderers that don't handle separate sub files (ie, WDTV, PS3).<br />
7. Fixed: DLNA, some fixes to mimetypes presented to renderers. May allow more items to play with some renderers when conversion is off.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.177 (6/27/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Parametric Equalizer was not working properly in build 176.<br />
2. Fixed: Loading a UTF-8 file that used a BOM did not work nicely.<br />
3. Changed: CD ripping would show an unnecessary hour in the Action Window (ie. 0:42:30 instead of 42:30).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.176 (6/26/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: In Options > Encoding, using 'Encoder settings...' could cause the encoder selection to be reset.<br />
2. NEW: Secure ripping is faster when using certain drives that may read slowly to reduce noise.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned secure ripping cache defeating mechanism to defeat up to 2MB of drive cache even if the drive cache could not be detected properly.<br />
4. Fixed: Video conversion for DLNA could fail on certain aspect ratio videos when going to WMV.<br />
5. Fixed: Transitioning from an 8-bit file to an 8-bit Âµ-law encoded file could cause audio to play incorrectly.<br />
6. Fixed: If playback of a file errored, then the last file in the playlist was played, that file could show an incorrect warning when it finished.<br />
7. NEW: Added native support for AU and SND files.<br />
8. Fixed: If playback of a playlist encountered an input file with an audio format that was not supported, it could lead to a crash in certain cases.<br />
9. Fixed: Hauppauge HVR-1600 was mistakenly included in the list of tuners that can not run analog and digital tuners simultaneously.<br />
10. Fixed: Video conversion to MPEG-2 was not working in the last few builds.<br />
11. Changed: Improved the picture quality of converted MPEG-4 video (used by DLNA, handheld upload, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.175 (6/25/2012)'''
<br />

4. NEW: Add support for reading more info for database fields when connecting to a DLNA server.<br />
5. Fixed: A seek or flush could cause the first subtitle to appear multiple times until the subtitle expired.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.174 (6/21/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: DLNA: One more instance of playlistContainer needed removing. Was still preventing some Onkyo renderers (and perhaps others) from working.<br />
2. Fixed: TV recordings took too long to start in the last two builds.<br />
3. Fixed: Scrolling player display text had a question mark embedded, rather than a graphic dot character.<br />
4. Fixed: Move/Rename operation would fail on video files which shared cover art in the same folder as the video files.<br />
5. Fixed: Some DVD movies when played over DLNA or on Gizmo would skip over sections.<br />
6. Fixed: wmv conversion. New libavformat and libavcodec (version 54). Works with Xbox 360 and subtitles.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.173 (6/14/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Mono handling using 'No upmixing or downmixing' uses pseudo-stereo for music and the center speaker for videos (other than music videos).<br />
2. Changed: Changed how JRiver URL Reader filter handle buffering by taking advantage of buffering info available in LAV splitter filter. Should help YouTube<br />
3. Fixed: Handheld sync with MTP devices was not working correctly because of a bug in creating the MC database on the device.<br />
4. Changed: Camera acquisition from some device types (e.g. MTP) was dealing with images & videos anywhere on the device. Now it takes a user settable image source path defaulting to \DCIM\.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.172 (6/12/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: More internal threading changes in television playback engine.<br />
2. Changed: Build 171 would unintentionally show frames on images in Theater View.<br />
3. Fixed: List truncation tool tips would look incorrect with build 171.<br />
4. Changed: Carnac wouldn't understand Sage TV recordings when the counter number in the filename used 8 digits.<br />
5. Changed: Playing Now Overview uses columns instead of stacked rows to show each zone.<br />
6. Fixed: Playing Now Overview would not update nicely when zones were added or removed while it was showing.<br />
7. Changed: Handheld conversion setting 'Simultaneous conversions' now applies to simultaneous downloads as well.<br />
8. Fixed: Handheld sync from a library server was not obeying the "Enable DSP" flag so that volume leveling was always being performed.<br />
9. Changed: While connected to a library server, "Enable DSP" is replaced with "Apply volume leveling" option in handheld conversion options.<br />
10. Changed: When JRSS does center focused mixing (used for videos other than music videos), mono videos will output on the center speaker instead of as pseudo stereo.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.171 (6/11/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Hulu playback was not working properly.<br />
2. Fixed: Library-type search views were not working properly in Theater View (like the default Video > Guide > Search).<br />
3. Changed: Clicking 'Save' in the image editor will apply and close any pending tool.<br />
4. NEW: All thumbnail borders are drawn with skin items (that can be customized per skin).<br />
5. Changed: Added 'Skip' cell drawing mode to skinning engine so a cell with no data (like the inside of a thumbnail frame) has no overhead (see Default Skin Items > main.xml > Border section for exmaples).<br />
6. Changed: If thumbnail frames for images are disabled in Options, a drop shadow effect will be used in its place instead of the default thumbnail treatment.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.170 (6/8/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When using the mixing mode 'Clone side channels to rear speakers', if there's a rear center it will be used for the clone (at half-power to each rear) instead of the surrounds.<br />
2. Fixed: Parts of the program that used a wait message could take longer to finish than expected.<br />
3. Changed: Thumbnail borders are rendered at draw time instead of loaded into the thumbnail at load time (allows for more consistent sizing and more flexible styles).<br />
4. Changed: Tuned the thumbnail bordering to use a smaller, more subtle shadowing.<br />
5. Fixed: 6.1 to 7.1 upmixing was not working properly for the rear speakers in some cases.<br />
6. Changed: Added more logging of handheld calls to debug a rare crash that can occur when loading a handheld.<br />
7. Fixed: Using a fadeout on stop would not work properly when Volume Protection was enabled.<br />
8. Changed: Fadeout on stop applies the volume using the internal audio engine instead of the volume slider, so it works nicely with any output device.<br />
9. NEW: Added fadeout on pause feature (configurable in Options > Audio).<br />
10. Fixed: Improved remote button handling during Netflix movie playback.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.169 (6/7/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Carnac better supports videos with naming like "Movie.Title.To.Parse.2012.Extra.Stuff.1080p.mkv".<br />
2. Fixed: When scrolling down in Theater View, the last row of thumbnails would not always be shown when selecting the second to last row.<br />
3. Fixed: When buffering, the player area in Standard View would not always redraw nicely to show progress.<br />
4. Fixed: Several tweaks and improvements to the support of large sector SACD ISO files.<br />
5. Fixed: You can't name a top-level view "Advanced" or it vanishes.<br />
6. Changed: DLNA: removed playlist containers completely. Was causing problems with some Onkyo models. Introduced in 17.0.134.<br />
7. Fixed: JRSS 5.1 to 7.1 upmixing could cause the stereo separation in the SL / SR channels to be distorted.<br />
8. Fixed: JRSS upmixing of 6.1 to 7.1 clones the rear center to the rears instead of building a rear by looking also at the surrounds.<br />
9. Fixed: CD audio playback would stop at the end of a track, rather than moving forward to the next track (since build 163).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.168 (6/6/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: The "Waiting..." OSD message at the start of television playback is replaced with channel/program info.<br />
2. Fixed: Playing a DVD movie over DLNA could result in the non-default audio language being used. For example "Green Lantern" played in Spanish.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.167 (6/5/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: We now always use "api.netflix.com" rather than switching to "api.netflix.ca" for computers with Canada as the locale country. The .ca api isn't supported by Netflix and using .com may make it work for VPN users.<br />
2. Fixed: MC did not handle television signal problem or device problem gracefully during start of scheduled recordings.<br />
3. Changed: Internal threading change in TV recording.<br />
4. Fixed: DVD Videos burned with Media Center would not play on some models of DVD players (like Samsung Blu-ray).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.166 (6/4/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Pause buttons on remote not working reliably in Netflix.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.165 (6/1/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Adding a new column to a list by right-clicking the header could sometimes cause the column to appear as the last column instead of at the right-click location.<br />
2. Changed: Lossy M4A and AAC files will show a bitdepth of "16" (what the source probably was) in the library instead of "64" (what the decoder outputs).<br />
3. Changed: During rapid key repeats, the Theater View selection bubble will move instantly to the destination instead of animating (when three or more moves occur in less than 300ms).<br />
4. Changed: Tuned the thumbnail drop shadow border.<br />
5. Fixed: Incorrect information about the audio parameters of a video file were being sent via DLNA when a file was being sent unconverted. Might have caused audio stuttering and/or unplayable audio for videos on some renderers.<br />
6. Fixed: Matroska containers were being sent in the content directory (and while being pushed) with the wrong mimetype and DLNA flags when not being converted. This will fix problems playing mkvs on devices that can play them natively (WDTV, etc).<br />
7. Fixed: Pause button on remote not working during Netflix playback. Also sizing of image was wrong since Netflix changed the UI.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.164 (5/30/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for SACD .iso files that use large sectors.<br />
2. Changed: Revised the thumbnail drop shadow effect so that it looks better on dark backgrounds.<br />
3. Fixed: When playing a video that required more bandwidth than was available (YouTube, Library Server client, etc.), playback was not nicely pausing to buffer.<br />
4. Changed: Theater View thumbnail lists uses no empty space between thumbnail rectangles (previously a margin of about 5% the item size was used).<br />
5. Changed: Theater View thumbnail lists use one size down for the text size.<br />
6. Changed: Theater View thumbnail views always leave room for two lines of text so that images remain a consistent size.<br />
7. Changed: Shrunk the selection's internal margins a bit in the default Obsidian Theater View skin.<br />
8. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.163 (5/29/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for DST compressed DFF files.<br />
2. Fixed: Background podcast downloading could cause pop-up windows to appear asking whether files should be overwritten or renamed.<br />
3. Fixed: From Performer Store, if an external web page was navigated to (e.g. Amazon), the back button did not return to the Performer store page.<br />
4. Fixed: Clicking the "link" symbol to the left of an artist or album name for Performer store tracks, did not search the store but simply showed zero results.<br />
5. Changed: Tuned the animation used for item movement in Theater View. Movement takes about the same amount of time but has a smoother initial acceleration.<br />
6. Changed: Internal work on burning engine (should be internal change, but testing appreciated).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.162 (5/29/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: DSD bitstreaming over ASIO was not working properly for the last few builds.<br />
2. Changed: Removed 'DSD Mode' setting from ASIO configuration (now 'Playback Designs' mode is used automatically if a device named 'AKDesign USB ASIO' is used).<br />
3. Changed: Slight revision to DSD bitstreaming with ASIO open call ordering (removed first sample rate setting call, as Playback Designs no longer requires it).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.161 (5/25/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Was detecting playlist containers for DLNA improperly. Completely messed up some renderers (Onkyo). Introduced in 17.0.134.<br />

3. Changed: The order of 'Watch' vs 'Watch All' for Theater View TV Show playback is determined based on the last used item.<br />
4. Changed: Tuned how Kernel Streaming opens devices to work better with Rigisystems based devices on Windows XP.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.159 (5/23/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Theater View backdrops could cause exiting Theater View to be slow in some cases.<br />
2. Fixed: Theater View play roller selections were not saving nicely (now saved per media type / media sub type of the file).<br />
3. Changed: Cleaned up the Theater View file roller menu for TV shows recorded outside Media Center to work more like the menu used for JTV.<br />
4. Changed: Removed ... endings from Theater View roller text.<br />
5. Fixed: Cinergy 2400i and Nova-DT DVB-T tuners failed to scan channels.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.158 (5/21/2012)'''

4. Changed: Television time-shifting reader filter does audio seeking and video seeking separately instead of doing them in one shot.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.157 (5/18/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Disabled skinning of ASIO driver control panels.<br />
2. Changed: Tuned ASIO call ordering for DSD bitstreaming to (hopefully) support more hardware. Feedback appreciated.<br />
3. Changed: Audio playback loads and unloads output plugins from the same thread to prevent issues with drivers that didn't like different creation and destruction threads.<br />
4. Changed: A SACD with multiple areas will list tracks from both areas on import / play.<br />
5. NEW: Added 'DSD Mode' to ASIO settings. To bitstream DSD with a Playback Designs unit, select 'Playback Designs' as the mode (may be necessary with other devices as well).<br />
6. Changed: Turning the volume up or down using the mouse wheel, remote control, etc. rounds the volume to the nearest percent so that Internal Volume decibel displays stay at 0.5dB increments.<br />
7. Changed: FLAC tagging writes the album artist to both 'ALBUM ARTIST' and 'ALBUMARTIST' instead on only writing to one ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=72211 ).<br />
8. Changed: Removed the discontinued Comedy Central Jokes from Theater View News.<br />
9. NEW: Added SACD support for DST compressed tracks.<br />
10. NEW: Added SACD support for multi-channel tracks.<br />
11. Fixed: Occasionally video could be displayed in a small window in upper left corner when starting up a television program.<br />

<br />
Internal testing build<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.155 (5/16/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved estimation of audio video bit rates to prevent huge number of small chunk files in television time-shifting folder.<br />
2. Fixed: Things that saved files to the desktop (new logging dialog, ringtone creation, etc.) could fail under UAC because they used the shared desktop folder instead of the user's desktop folder.<br />
3. Changed: When holding the shift key while switching images (to preserve zoom and scroll), the scroll position will adjust better when the new image is a different size or aspect ratio.<br />
4. Changed: Carnac understands 4 digit year values as season values.<br />
5. Fixed: When searching for cover art for optical discs in [Cover Art]\Videos\[Name].jpg, invalid characters weren't being replaced with underscores, causing cover art to not be found.<br />
6. Changed: Manually running 'Cover Art > Quick Find In File / Cover Art Directory' will replace existing images if a different image is found instead of skipping files that already have an image.<br />
7. Changed: Tuning to updated Logging dialog.<br />
8. Fixed: The program was not catching the resume from standby notification in some cases, causing Library Server clients to not get new files right away, etc.<br />
9. NEW: Added the ability to open the ASIO driver's control panel from Options > Audio > ASIO > Output mode settings...<br />
10. Changed: Revised the layout of the ASIO configuration dialog.<br />
11. Fixed: Files with Replay Gain but no Peak Level could cause automatic adjustment to Replay Gain levels to be much too loud.<br />
12. Changed: Tuned how clips of pure silence are handled so that their Peak Level will show as 0% instead of empty.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.154 (5/15/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
2. Changed: DSD bitstreaming using ASIO presents sample rates in two ways, making the feature work with more hardware (feedback appreciated).<br />
3. NEW: If the program crashes, a debug dump is created.<br />
4. Changed: Reworked the Logging dialog to hopefully make getting a log easier and to make it so the logs provided to JRiver are more useful (contain new debug dumps, system info, etc.).<br />
5. Fixed: Canceling and restarting an ISO burn could fail because internal burn queue was not cleared.<br />
6. Changed: Internal plumbing changes in the CD/DVD burning engine.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.153 (5/15/2012)'''
<br />
Internal testing build<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.152 (5/14/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Usage of the GetProcessHandleCount(...) function was causing installs to fail on Windows 2000.<br />
2. Fixed: Installation on a Windows 2000 machine would show an error trying to install DirectX components (DirectX / 3d accelerated views are not supported on Windows 2000).<br />
3. Fixed: Camera import did not show a progress bar in some cases.<br />
4. Changed: When moving a data file with a sidecar image, the sidecar image will move along with the data file.<br />
5. Fixed: Guide entries for deleted channels could incorrectly appear and overlap valid entries in the Theater View EPG.<br />
6. Changed: Subtitle timing changed so that positive numbers make subtitles show later instead of earlier.<br />
7. Fixed: Possible expression evaluation bug that could use incorrect integer stack value usage with nested expressions.<br />
8. Fixed: DLNA. Remove fields from the Metadata that shouldn't have been there. Was preventing Popcorn Hour 300 from seeing content directory entries. Could have affected other renderers.<br />
9. Fixed: UPnP. Non-DLNA servers weren't reporting the L16 mime info properly.<br />
10. Fixed: UPnP. Non-DLNA servers weren't providing consistent mimetype mappings for video.<br />
11. Changed: DLNA and UPnP. Mimetype mapping for flac files changed from audio/flac to audio/x-flac. While proper, this might cause trouble with some renderers. Need feedback.<br />
12. Fixed: WMC (Xbox 360) wasn't working properly with the new default view schemes. Now will work with new and old view schemes. Note: to see Album, Artist and Genre views on the Xbox 360 you need to have DLNA views with those names. If you change them for language purposes, you will lose those views on the Xbox 360.<br />
13. NEW: Added basic support for playback of SACD ISO files (two channel only for now).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.151 (5/11/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Television subscription recording made in Theater view did not have duration info when shown in "Recording Rules" view.<br />
2. Fixed: Television program-based recording scheduled in Theater View did not have channel info when shown in "Recording Rules" view.<br />
3. Fixed: Television recordings scheduled in Theater view did not observe user-configured default recording extension minutes (instead, 1 minute before and 1 minute after were used).<br />
4. Changed: Broadcom Video Decoder added to whitelist in custom video mode.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.150 (5/10/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: The default television recording extension minutes configuration is moved to television settings property page from schedule recording wizard. The wizard will continue to allow you to modify the values for individual recordings.<br />
2. NEW: Option to bookmark television recording at program start time, instead of the beginning of recording (useful when you schedule recording a few minutes early but do not want to have to skip through the extra minutes during playback).<br />
3. Changed: DLNA. Modified the UpdateID so that a request of the SystemUpdateID doesn't reset the timer that's looking for database changes that require the ID to be updated. This should help some renderers that were using the SystemUpdateID call often to be more likely to notice changes in the database.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.149 (5/9/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Moving the cover art folder to a child folder of itself could cause cover art to be lost instead of moved properly.<br />
2. Changed: Hardware based video deinterlacing is now disabled in LAV video when EVR or madVR renderer is being used.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.148 (5/8/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Custom video mode allows using MainConcept video decoders.<br />
2. Changed: Volume settings are available in Options > Audio > Volume (and also still available in Menu > Player > Volume or by clicking the icon next to the volume slider).<br />
3. NEW: Added 'Options > Audio > Volume > Maximum volume' for enforcing a maximum level that Media Center will be capable of setting.<br />
4. NEW: Default television recording extension minutes can be configured.<br />
5. NEW: Added 'Options > Audio > Volume > Internal volume reference level' for specifying what volume level is shown as +0.0dB (all other volumes will be reported relative to that reference level).<br />
6. Changed: The OSD and volume slider in Theater View use the same volume display text as other parts of the program (improves support for 'bitstreaming' display, decibels for internal volume, etc.)<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.147 (5/7/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Visualization Studio columns were not sizing nicely.<br />
2. Changed: When playback of a video fails because DSP Studio > Output Format needs configuration, a message will be shown offering to make the change and continue playback instead of automatically making the change (audio already works this way).<br />
3. Fixed: Putting a backslash in a user field name could cause trouble.<br />
4. Fixed: It was possible to create two fields with the same file-system name by using characters the file system didn't support in the filename, leading to contamination between the two fields.<br />
5. Fixed: When creating a ZIP file, the UTF-8 flag was not being properly set (despite filenames being UTF-8 encoded), causing problems in some cases.<br />
6. Changed: Added mdx to the list of Disk Image / ISO types.<br />
7. Fixed: Panes that had nesting could cause a crash when using dropdown panes mode.<br />
8. Fixed: Video playback could use a small rectangle at the top left of the screen in certain cases with build 146.<br />
9. NEW: Added support for ID3v2 URL frames. Must manually add a field in Options > Library & Folders > Manager Library Fields... and select 'Store in tags' to use fields using the naming: WCOM: Commercial URL; WCOP: Copyright URL; WOAF: File URL; WOAR: Artist URL; WOAS: Source URL; WORS: Radio Station URL; WPAY: Payment URL; WPUB: Publisher URL<br />
10. Fixed: Bookmarking did not work on television shows that were watched while they were still being recorded.<br />
11. Changed: Carnac better understands television filenames of the form "series ssee name" where "ssee" is four digits.<br />
12. Fixed: Performer store could crash if visited while internet connection was unavailable.<br />
13. Fixed: Mini skins that used scripting could crash in build 146.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.146 (5/4/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Playback display painting could show a black screen with build 145.<br />
2. Fixed: Expressions that had multiple levels of inlining could show % in the output with build 145.<br />
3. Changed: Symlinks are no longer resolved when using the Browse Folder interface, so importing from a symlink will use the symlink path in the library instead of the resolved path.<br />
4. Fixed: EVR clean up problem in television playback.<br />
5. Changed: A little cleanup in input plugins (makes build a little smaller).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.145 (5/3/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Interface leak in television.<br />
2. Fixed: Expression inlining could cause problems if the inlined expression used parenthesis or commas outside of a function context.<br />
3. Changed: Expression engine allows putting a subexpression in /% %/ to force it to be tokenized independently (used internally for inlined expressions).<br />
4. Changed: Several internal class names, pin names, etc. changed from "J. River xyz" to "JRiver xyz" (only relevant if you're scripting or searching for specific window classes).<br />
5. Fixed: The import summary would show files skipped because they were previously removed from the library twice.<br />
6. NEW: Doing a lookup at TMDb will populate the new field "IMDB ID" when available.<br />
7. Changed: Play stats can be copied using Paste Tags.<br />
8. Fixed: Importing dates from flac files in weird "yyyy mm" format now works.<br />
9. Changed: Removed remaining references to MFC in the playback engine, making JRPlayer about 6% smaller (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
10. Fixed: Invalid expressions that reported an error could cause a small memory leak.<br />
11. Changed: The Auto-Import fix broken links option 'Yes (protect network files)' is now 'Yes (protect files on missing drives)' and works better with temporary fixed drives.<br />
12. Changed: When Auto-Import is dealing with broken links, the 'protect files on missing drives' mode checks for the existence of the drive instead of existence of the owning folder.<br />
13. Changed: The 'Clean File Properties' and 'Find & Replace' library tools use the same field picker as 'Paste Tags', which removes fields that are empty or irrelevant for the selected files.<br />
14. Changed: Find & Replace remembers the find, replace, and case sensitive options between uses (selected fields have always been remembered).<br />
15. Changed: The field 'TheTVDB Series ID' was not available for use in video views.<br />
16. Changed: DLNA servers. When enabling the "MPEG video mimetype override", clearing out the "video DLNA override" entry will prevent it from being reported causing the renderer to rely upon the mimetype reported by "video mimetype override"<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.144 (5/2/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: With Library Server sync, sending a delete from a client with no other changes, then closing the client and restarting it, could cause the deleted file to reappear.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.143 (5/1/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Made the FileDBLocation(...) expression function able to output a number or list of readable strings (defaults to strings).<br />
2. Fixed: If an expression field referenced itself, the circular reference could cause a crash.<br />
3. Changed: When import skips files because the filenames are too long or because files have the system attribute set, the import summary will show this (and 'Show in-depth summary' will list the files).<br />
4. Changed: The in-depth summary for an import lists files skipped because they're marked as bad or that have been previously deleted (only a count was shown before).<br />
5. Fixed: MC did not make use hardware encoding capability of the analog tuner on Hauppauge HVR-1800.<br />
6. Fixed: Starting loopback playback (live://loopback) would crash on XP instead of fail gracefully (loopback requires Vista or newer and WASAPI).<br />
7. NEW: Added support for playback of "Shorten" format audio files (SHN).<br />
8. NEW: Commercial skipping sidecars (EDL files) work over Library Server.<br />
9. Fixed: Using the search box / search suggestions to execute a slow program command like 'Create Test Clips...' could lead to a crash.<br />
10. NEW: Added 'Parametric Equalizer' 36 dB/octave and 48 dB/octave slopes to the high-pass filter.<br />
11. Faster: Allow caching to work when building DLNA container child container descriptions. Massive speed increase (when browsing the DLNA tree).<br />
12. Fixed: It was possible to set a category as 'Grouped', then switch it to an expression (which doesn't support grouping), and then have a broken pane or view.<br />
13. NEW: DSP Studio is sizable / maximizable (only some pages respond to sizing, others remain top-left aligned).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.142 (5/1/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Manually deleting files with Library Server sync did not work properly with build 141.<br />
2. Fixed: When both a client and server imported the same file, Library Server sync could cause two copies to appear (only applies to last couple builds).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.141 (4/30/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Library Server sync could cause problems with stacks and particles (only applies to 17.0.131 and newer).<br />
2. Changed: Library Server sync uses file keys for all merging instead of filenames (makes stacks and particles work nicely).<br />
3. Changed: Added FileDBLocation() expression function to view the internal database locations of a file (mostly for internal / debugging use).<br />
4. Fixed: Consecutive and overlapping television recordings on the same channel (thus on the same device) did not work correctly. The second recording was stopped and restarted when the first recording ended.<br />
5. Changed: LAV video is set to "aggressively" de-interlace mpeg-2 video in Red October mode. This should fix broken TV streams that have some interlaced frames marked as progressive.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.140 (4/27/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added Tag Pasting feature (Ctrl+Shift+V).<br />
2. Fixed: Audio seeking with Ctrl+Left/Right was using too large of a jump size.<br />
3. Fixed: If a JPEG failed a lossless rotation, it could cause a crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.139 (4/27/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: MCWS was not properly handling hexified URL parameter names (only hexified URL parameter values).<br />
2. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks, Johnny B).<br />
3. Fixed: The 'Format' tag in the Action Window could show an error.<br />
4. Fixed: Library Server sync could cause problems in certain cases (only applies to the last few builds).<br />
5. Faster: Improved the performance of Library Server sync.<br />
6. Changed: The 'Supported Formats' list for a handheld didn't clean the list until after a restart, so entering extra spaces, etc. could still cause troubles.<br />
7. Changed: Tuned the safety valve on allowing ASIO hardware resets to stop playback if more than 5 resets occur in 5 seconds.<br />
8. Changed: When audio playback buffers, like after a seek, the user interface won't switch to "Buffering xx%" unless buffering lasts at least 250ms.<br />
9. Faster: Seeking audio playback with keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Left / Ctrl+Right updates the user interface immediately (previously there was a little delay before changes showed).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.138 (4/26/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: DSP 'Effects' surround enhancement had a typo in the description.<br />
2. Changed: Pane tagging using drag-n-drop is only possible when pane tagging is enabled (F4) (a drop shows the same pane tagging confirmation that clicking checkboxes in the panes shows when pane tagging is disabled).<br />
3. Faster: Action Window > Tag > Image could be slow when used with large views.<br />
4. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .50.2. Fixed deadlock on dynamic format changes with DXVA2 native. Added YV24 support. Numerous other bug fixes and performance tweaks.<br />
5. Fixed: Handheld upload could crash when first starting conversions.<br />
6. NEW: Added more database fields to the DLNA metadata.<br />
7. Fixed: MPC tagging was failing with the last few builds.<br />
8. Changed: Added a Hebrew keyboard to Theater View (thanks to guy.yakobovitch)<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.137 (4/26/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: MC tries to resolve conflict of some hybrid television tuners - e.g. if the device is being used for digital television channel, MC will not try to use it for analog channel, and vice versa.<br />
2. Changed: Tuned the safety valve on allowing ASIO hardware resets to stop playback if more than 5 resets occur in 20 seconds (previously only allowed one reset each 30 seconds).<br />
3. Fixed: Remote zones would not update their name when the server / device changed its name (user-customized names will still be possible, but will have to be manually reentered one time).<br />
4. Fixed: If panes were set to filter in both directions, something was selected, then 'Reset Selection' clicked, then the same thing selected, the list wouldn't update properly.<br />
5. Fixed: DLNA zones could cause a hang.<br />
6. Changed: Tagging by dropping on a pane value is only possible when Pane Tagging (F4) is enabled.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.136 (4/25/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: When printing multiple almost full page images, the image would be centered on the first page and top-left aligned on subsequent pages.<br />
2. Changed: When in-place editing in a list when the values vary, the first value will be placed in the edit control instead of [Varies].<br />
3. Fixed: Editing list-type fields that used a standard (non-list) edit mode would cause the values in the selection set to not appear at the top of the combobox (applies to Artist, Genre, etc. since they are now list fields).<br />
4. NEW: Subtitle timing can be adjusted from the OSD when subtitles are on (use up/down/left/right while playing).<br />
5. Fixed: Right-clicking in the empty area to the right of all the columns in a list would not work properly.<br />
6. Changed: Expression variables used with Load(...) and Save(...) are global, and valid for the run of the program.<br />
7. Fixed: Dealing with series images could be unnecessarily slow when a library used a lot of series-based relational fields.<br />
8. Faster: Tweaked list filling to be faster for large lists.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.135 (4/25/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: A rare hang on track switch when two or more zones were switching at exactly the same time (most common with linked zones).<br />
2. NEW: Added support for ASIO hardware reset requests (kAsioResetRequest), which is used by RME and possibly other hardware.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.134 (4/24/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Glass based skins could allow a modal dialog to jump behind the view in some views.<br />
2. Changed: Updated webgizmo html5 player.<br />
3. Fixed: When downloading a component that showed progress, if the server didn't report a file size the progress could incorrectly show "2GB".<br />
4. Fixed: Icons on messages boxes didn't look nice with skins that used an image for a dialog back.<br />
5. Faster: Parsing / compiling large expressions is much faster (for example, Marko's 27,000 character thumbnail text expression takes 34ms to compile compared to 20800ms).<br />
6. Faster: The expression compiler is smarter about inlining expressions so that it won't inline in cases where it could actually hurt performance.<br />
7. Changed: Added Load(...) and Save(...) expression functions to allow using variables.<br />
8. Changed: Improved error-handling in television recording.<br />
9. Fixed: DLNA server. Correct spelling error for updateID variable. Was preventing PS3 and probably others from working properly. Broken in build 17.0.132<br />
10. NEW: DLNA server. Make an educated guess of the container type for playlists, photo albums and audio albums. Solves sorting problem in PlugPlayer (and perhaps others).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.133 (4/23/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Expression inlining wouldn't inline an expression if the case in the expression didn't match the case of the expression field in the library.<br />
2. Changed: An expression that doesn't properly close a function with a right parenthesis will report an error instead of evaluating (since the invalid expression will yield unexpected results if it gets inlined).<br />
3. Changed: 'Get Movie & TV Info' allows lookup of files with a Media Sub Type of Trailer.<br />
4. Fixed: A skin that used Glass could incorrectly keep a view showing when closing the program to Media Server mode.<br />
5. Fixed: Skins that used Glass could have small artifacts on the left or right edge of text.<br />
6. NEW: Added support for TV season images (use naming like: [Cover Art Folder]\Seasons\Seinfeld - Season 3.jpg).<br />
7. Changed: Increased the probe size used to analyze if a WAV file contains DTS from 16kB to 256kB.<br />
8. Changed: Carnac better understands TV episodes that use the naming like "S01E01 - Giotto.avi" (with no series).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.132 (4/20/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When a commercial skip file (EDL) calls for a skip at the start of playback, the skip is performed before starting playback so that it's faster / smoother.<br />
2. Changed: Skins that used frame transparency (glass) could show an empty sheet of glass instead of a black screen when first starting video playback fullscreen.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned how video playback responds to video size change notifications to (hopefully) fix cases of a black screen showing when starting playback.<br />
4. Fixed: Particles could be corrupted when used with Library Server sync.<br />
5. Fixed: MC repeatedly ran an unnecessary timer when doing a scheduled recording of an analog television channel.<br />
6. Fixed: The detailed tag dump for FLAC files was not working for a couple builds.<br />
7. Fixed: DLNA updateID for DLNA server content directory.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.131 (4/19/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Skins can use transparency in the background of the edit, combobox, and search control.<br />
2. Fixed: 2D visualizations were not working in the last few builds.<br />
3. Faster: Visualizations are better managed by the framework so that they're loaded and unloaded less often, and their window is not created just to query for modes.<br />
4. Fixed: Stopping or deleting a playing video that had changed the display resolution / refresh rate while in Theater View could lead to Theater View no longer drawing.<br />
5. Fixed: Mouse selection of DVD Menu buttons didn't work right when "Window / Crop edges" was selected from the right-click menu.<br />
6. Fixed: When grouping on a decimal field like FPS, numbers that varied by less than 0.01 could cause the same value to appear in multiple groupings.<br />
7. Changed: The search engine considers numbers within 0.01 of a value to be a match (so [FPS]=29.97 returns 29.969, 29.973, etc.).<br />
8. Changed: The 'Rename, Move, & Copy Files' dialog will show and do nothing if some rule attempts to output a path that isn't rooted.<br />
9. Fixed: ICY metadata was not being read nicely (and could even cause audible clicks) from some online radio stations.<br />
10. Changed: Allow book-marking across library server/client for all video types rather than just JTV.<br />
11. Fixed: Cover art in the cover art folder was not being found for optical discs or ISOs.<br />
12. Fixed: If a combobox contained text that wasn't in the droplist, opening and closing the drop list would switch the text to the first item in the list.<br />
13. Changed: When in-place-editing multiple files with varying values, [Varies] will be shown like already done in the Tag Action Window.<br />
14. Changed: Library Server sync includes television guide records, stacks, and particles.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.130 (4/18/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Setting the day or month field on a file with en empty date could fail.<br />
2. Changed: TheTVDB lookup was not putting the original air date into the date field for television episodes.<br />
3. Fixed: MCWS would double unescape URL parameters, making it impossible to use a literal & or ?.<br />
4. Changed: Merged the APE tagging code for APE, MPC, and WV (should be an internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
5. Fixed: DVD playback to Android or from play particles did not work well - video image would often break-up and pixellate.<br />
6. Changed: Updated WebGizmo to better size to the full browser for video playback (thanks Scolex).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.129 (4/17/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for JPEG files that use a CMYK color space.<br />
2. Faster: Reworked how strings are handled with the translation engine to be several times faster (helps performance in many areas, even when running in English).<br />
3. Faster: Revised import and input plugins to use a faster string passing system.<br />
4. Fixed: The option to move the center speaker to the front L/R speakers was not working properly when downmixing.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.128 (4/16/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: A couple expression engine bugs in build 127.<br />
2. Faster: Revised how the current time is retrieved from the system to be about 25x faster (helps expressions that use Now(), possibly other areas of the program).<br />
3. NEW: Added 'Order channels' filter to Parametric Equalizer for easier ordering of output channels.<br />
4. Changed: Switched standard message box icons to a skinnable resource (Art\SystemIcons in skin).<br />
5. Changed: Users will no long need to scan for analog television channels before scanning for STB television channels.<br />
6. Fixed: Camera import could appear to hang if the process was canceled.<br />
7. Fixed: The same camera could appear twice in the camera import drop list, once as removable drive and once as WIA device.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.127 (4/13/2012)'''
<br />
1. Faster: Improved memory management in expression evaluator, resulting in about 5% faster expression evaluation.<br />
2. Faster: Improved handling of constants in the expression engine, leading to around 10% faster expression evaluation.<br />
3. Faster: Search engine is faster when dealing with expression-based searches.<br />
4. Faster: The PadNumber(...) expression function is several times faster.<br />
5. Faster: Expression engine pools evaluation of a field so using the same field repeatedly in an expression or subsequent files with the same value is faster.<br />
6. Fixed: The expression Right(...) was not working properly in build 126.<br />
7. Changed: Updated the html5 audio/image playback script.<br />
8. Changed: Hook up slideshow time option to the html5 image slideshow playback.<br />
9. Fixed: Some analog television tuners did not work when played in non-time-shifting mode if the user has no appropriate audio decoder installed on the computer.<br />
10. Changed: All analog television tuners using hardware MPEG encoding will load LAV Audio Decoder by default in non-time-shifting mode.<br />
11. Fixed: Hulu browsing was not working properly.<br />
12. Faster: When an expression uses a field that's an expression field, the expression field is inlined, helping performance in these cases.<br />
13. Fixed: If an invalid equation was provided to a Math(...) expression it could lead to a leak.<br />
14. Changed: Image acquisition in the Camera Action Window now done in background threads.<br />
15. Faster: Removed a processing layer when searches evaluate expressions, helping performance.<br />
16. Faster: The search engine better sorts multiple expressions so that the fastest expressions get evaluated first (sometimes helping performance of expression-based views immensely).<br />
17. Faster: The Math(...) expression uses a caching layer so that evaluating a fixed expression is roughly the same as using a constant (makes expressions with math 10x or more faster).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.126 (4/12/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Display of television guide programs could start at the wrong time on locales that didn't use a dot for the decimal character.<br />
2. Fixed: Using [Album Artist (auto)] in the path expression for a handheld device did not work nicely with mix albums.<br />
3. NEW: Television recording in ts format for certain analog devices (WinTV HDPVR/Colossus and some other devices that use hardware MPEG encoding).<br />
4. Fixed: Rating tags were not being properly supported for M4A files.<br />
5. Faster: Improvements to the expression engine and expression-based searches to help performance (for example, [=Left([Artist], 4)]=[Abba] evaluates almost twice as fast).<br />
6. Fixed: Multiple simultaneous loads on the WebGizmo server could cause a crash.<br />
7. Faster: The WebGizmo server builds browsing pages up to 100 times faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.125 (4/11/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Library server access key would stop hourly renewals if there was a temporary internet disconnection.<br />
2. Changed: Shows with empty or 0 for the season number will still be eligible for TheTVDB lookup (since season 0 is used for specials, etc.).<br />
3. Changed: Updated input plugin interface version (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
4. Fixed: When recording consecutive shows on the same television channel, MC could incorrectly stop recording, if the user started watching the channel and then stopped watching after the first recording had finished.<br />
5. Fixed: MC was not using the program name for folder name when recording television shows.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.124 (4/10/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: YouTube titles with international characters were not being supported nicely.<br />
2. Fixed: Searching YouTube for international characters did not work properly.<br />
3. SDK: Added NextFileKey to MCWS/v1/Playback/Info to allow easily getting the next file to play.<br />
4. SDK: Added MCWS function File/GetInfo to make getting information about a single file easier.<br />
5. Fixed: Audio Path did not work in television playback.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.123 (4/9/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Corrupt data in an over-the-air television guide scan could cause a crash.<br />
2. Fixed: When bitstreaming DSD over ASIO, silence could be output as 0x00 instead of 0x69, leading to an audible pop.<br />
3. Fixed: Video playback with Gizmo of low frame rate videos could show visual artifacts.<br />
4. NEW: Image import from cameras (and other devices) now uses WPD sub-system rather than WIA so videos can now be imported as well as photos.<br />
5. Fixed: Image import via WPD/WIA wasn't honoring file types list from options dialog. Also, files that were already in library could get re-transferred.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.122 (4/5/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: 'Move center to front L/R' was not working in build 120 and 121.<br />
2. Changed: Analog television tuners/video capture devices that use MPEG hardware compression will use Red October or custom filters settings in time-shifting mode.<br />
3. NEW: Option to start analog channels in time-shifting mode. The default is off.<br />
4. Changed: Pressing Stop button while time-shifting analog TV channel stops playing the channel, instead of just canceling time-shifting. The behavior is now the same for analog and digital channels.<br />
5. Changed: Updates to webgizmo video playing, thanks scolex...<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.121 (4/4/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: JRSS mixing was not working properly in some cases with build 120.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.120 (4/3/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added the ability to DSP Studio > Output Format to output some variants like "2 channels (inside 4 channel container)", "5.1 channels (inside 7.1 channel container)", etc.<br />
2. Changed: Revised the JRSS upmixing engine to support more flexible channel arrangements and to offer better performance in some cases (should be an internal change, but please report any issues).<br />
3. Changed: Tuned the way television shows the channel and program when changing channels to make it easier to read.<br />
4. Changed: The channel up / channel down buttons on the remote would not allow quick channel scanning.<br />
5. Changed: When scanning channels quickly, the OSD updates immediately while the tune happens in the background (previously the OSD could lag behind).<br />
6. Changed: The television control behaves better when a lot of tune requests are issued quickly.<br />
7. Faster: Improved the performance of displaying OSD information for television (which also makes changing channels faster).<br />
8. Fixed: Television recording skipped a final importing procedure (resulting in recordings being reported as missing in standard TV view) in the last couple of builds.<br />
9. Changed: Find & Replace no longer allows making filename changes (which move files). Use the find & replace feature in Rename, Move, & Copy Files instead.<br />
10. Changed: WebPlay and WebRemote have been deprecated in favor of WebGizmo (WebPlay and WebRemote will remain for v17, but they are not shown in Options or on the root Library Server page).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.119 (4/2/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: The TVInfo(...) expression function supports 'ChannelKeywords' to get the keywords of the channel for a guide program or recording.<br />
2. Fixed: Some older Real Video clips would not play (RV10/RV20 format).<br />
3. Changed: Volume Protection resets the level to 20% instead of 10% if there has been no playback for a long time (better matches Internal Volume changes from 17.0.83).<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA Sinkprotocolinfo string had improper syntax.<br />
5. Fixed: Using Play Doctor with linked zones could cause a crash.<br />
6. Changed: When using Volume Leveling in 'Automatic based on current playlist' mode, a consistent +6.0 dB will be used when playing with Play Doctor (otherwise as Play Doctor changes the playlist it can cause the volume to fluctuate between tracks).<br />
7. Fixed: Disconnecting some DLNA devices during playback could cause Media Center to freeze.<br />
8. Fixed: Temporary DLNA audio conversion files weren't getting deleted until Media Center closed.<br />
9. Fixed: Forced whitespace, indicated by slash space, in expressions was not working properly.<br />
10. NEW: Playback of unprotected RTMP streams works with File > Open URL...<br />
11. Changed: Clicking 'Resume Playback' on Gizmo when the server's Playing Now was empty would cause the server to show a 'There is nothing to play' error.<br />
12. NEW: "Do not record reruns" option for television subscription recording.<br />
13. Changed: Added the Media Sub Type 'Trailer' for movie trailers.<br />
14. Changed: On the end of a Blu-ray, the menu dialog is no longer shown automatically (use Particles, the Menu button on the remote, the OSD, or the right-click menu to play sub-titles).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.118 (3/30/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Tag on import rules allow drag-n-drop or right-click reordering.<br />
2. Fixed: When picking a search suggestion that didn't change the search text, it would not properly apply the rule to the view.<br />
3. Fixed: Column width / order changes were not being saved.<br />
4. Fixed: Ctrl+Arrow navigation did not work properly in multi-line edit controls that use plain text instead of HTML.<br />
5. Changed: Dates of the form "yyyy mm dd" would not parse (used in some M4A files, maybe others).<br />
6. NEW: Consecutive and overlapping TV recordings on the same channel are recorded with the same tuner.<br />
7. Changed: The folder browse dialog uses system controls only and no skinning to avoid problems like scrollbars not working, etc.<br />
8. NEW: For WebGizmo if a browser supports HTML 5, WebGizmo will try to play music, images and video with an HTML 5 javascript player. If it can't play that specific content using HTML5 it will revert to a flash player. This allows playlists on ios 5 to work in Safari for audio and images. Video is likely to need more changes...<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.117 (3/29/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Video playback on Gizmo / WebGizmo could (still) not work in some cases.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.116 (3/29/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: If cancelling of an internet read was slow, it could cause a thread to be ungracefully terminated leading to crashes in the system library wininet.dll.<br />
2. Changed: Revised how Theater View backdrop loading is handled so that the user interface thread is never waiting on a load to finish.<br />
3. Fixed: In certain cases the last frame in an ID3v2 tag would not get removed properly, so a frame could appear twice in the tag.<br />
4. Fixed: Viewing a single file search result in Theater View was not working properly.<br />
5. Faster: Core value searching engine (Theater View, Gizmo, search suggestions, etc.) is about 15% faster.<br />
6. Changed: In Netflix, right and left keyboard arrows or remote buttons now activate Silverlight fastforward/rewind controls correctly. Ok/Pause/Play button control improvement also.<br />
7. Changed: WMA tagging using WM/PartOfSet for disc numbers.<br />
8. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks to Gianni).<br />
9. Fixed: Video playback with Gizmo / WebGizmo was not working in build 115 due to an HTML escapement issue.<br />
10. Changed: Updated to LAV filters .50.1. Fixed crashes due to invalid subtitle data and certain dynamic format changes. Improved Blu-ray stream detection.<br />
11. Fixed: Possible leak when scrolling a list that was showing full resolution thumbnails.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.115 (3/27/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Date formatting tokens %W and %U were counting from the first week in the month instead of the first week in the year.<br />
2. Fixed: When tagging ID3v2 tags (MP3, WAV, DSF) with images other than just a front cover, the results could be unpredictable (Media Center will replace front and other images with the image in Media Center, and leave other types).<br />
3. Fixed: Japanese locale (and maybe others) could have problems loading Podcasts.<br />
4. NEW: Audio Path reports the source format (especially useful for seeing if DTS-MA, etc. is being decoded fully).<br />
5. Changed: When toggling zones, Playing Now views are only switched to the new zone if they're in the current tab, split view, and not locked (so having multiple splits each showing a different Playing Now works nicely).<br />
6. Fixed: With a Search List view category, the sorting could be disabled but stuck on 'Descending' causing the list to sort in reverse.<br />
7. Changed: Resuming from standby, a Library Server client will sync with the server (must have 'Options > Media Network > Client Options > Auto sync with server' enabled).<br />
8. Changed: A file will not be eligible to transfer to a handheld or burn to a CD/DVD until any queued tagging for that file has finished.<br />
9. Fixed: Audio Path text was not readable with some skins.<br />
10. Fixed: Right-clicking a non-selected pane item and picking an action could perform the action on the previous selection.<br />
11. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .50. Decoding speed increases, RealAudio Lossless support, lots of other improvements.<br />
12. Fixed: Unusual behavior when corrupt podcast files were downloaded.<br />
13. Changed: Improved visual smoothness when switching into Cover View (also removed black flicker when pressing stop from Cover View).<br />
14. Changed: The Smartlist Editor doesn't show a drop list for 'Large Value' type fields like Description, etc.<br />
15. Changed: If video playback is paused when entering Theater View, it is not automatically resumed if Theater View is exited to Standard View.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.114 (3/26/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When using list fields in Rename, Move, & Copy Files expressions, the full list can be retrieved by using 0 as the second field parameter (example: [Keywords, 0]).<br />
2. Fixed: The server core was not supporting HTTP/1.1 pipelining correctly, causing scrambled artwork in WebGizmo on iOS 5, and possibly other problems.<br />
3. Fixed: WebGizmo better handles escapement of invalid characters.<br />
4. Changed: Tweaks to ensure WebGizmo pages pass W3C validation.<br />
5. Fixed: Date formatting was not outputting a literal percentage properly when using %%.<br />
6. Changed: Date formatting supports %W and %U.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.113 (3/23/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for dual-layer DVD burning.<br />
2. Fixed: Scrolling in Theater View 3d lists could crash in some cases.<br />
3. Faster: Theater View will run up to 16 concurrent object updates instead of 4 concurrent updates for user interface elements.<br />
4. Fixed: Handheld syncing could send duplicate files when one side had a space after semi-colons in a list and the other side had no spaces.<br />
5. Fixed: The FormatDate(...) token datetime was not working properly.<br />
6. Fixed: XMP tagging would write empty keywords when removing keywords instead of actually removing them from the XMP tag.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.112 (3/22/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: List column header text was using the wrong color in build 111.<br />
2. Changed: Consolidated and improved date formatting supported by FormatDate(...) expression ( details here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=71000.msg479314#msg479314 ).<br />
3. Fixed: All XMP keywords were not being read in some cases.<br />
4. Fixed: Some functions in Media Editor were not working properly.<br />
5. Changed: MP4 parsing is more forgiving of some types of container corruption.<br />
6. NEW: Add DLNA controller option to disable SetNextAVTransportURI support for broken renderers.<br />
7. Changed: DLNA controller logic for SetNextAVTransportURI to work around bugs in some renderers.<br />
8. NEW: Added support for /Sleep [milliseconds] command to the launcher to allow scripting delays. To sleep one second: MC17.exe /Sleep 1000<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.111 (3/21/2012)'''
<br />
1. Faster: More SSE speed improvements in image framework.<br />
2. Changed: The expression engine trims white space before the first parameter and after the last parameter in a function (you can force white-space output by escaping with a slash).<br />
3. Changed: In the expression engine, if a slash (the escape character) is followed by newline, all white space will be discarded (including the newline).<br />
4. Changed: Improved support for SSA font face and position tokens.<br />
5. Changed: Improved support for SSA command blocks that string many commands or formatting tokens into a single block (ie. {\i1\fnVerdana}).<br />
6. NEW: Added an Indonesian translation (thanks to elda).<br />
7. Changed: Switched list headers from a skinned system control to a custom JRiver control (please report any issues).<br />
8. Fixed: Audio playback using DirectShow filters did not nicely handle mid-stream format changes (could cause problems with DTS WAV files, maybe others).<br />
9. Changed: Tuned DTS-in-WAV detector to better handle DTS files with junk between the DTS frames.<br />
10. Changed: Carnac better understands MakeMKV filenames (ie. t01_The_Matrix.mkv).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.110 (3/19/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Revised the bilinear image portion of JRMark to be more representative of how the program uses bilinear stretching (older JRMark values will be roughly comparable, but not exactly the same).<br />
2. Faster: More speed improvements to SSE in image engine.<br />
3. Changed: DLNA: the way the updateID is incremented. If a starting index is >0 the updateID is not incremented.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.109 (3/16/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Ripping DVD "Cars 2" would cause a crash.<br />
2. Changed: When burning a DVD video disc, if there is a DRM protected file in the burn queue, an appropriate error message is now shown.<br />
3. Fixed: EPG loading could load incorrect channel data in certain cases.<br />
4. Changed: Carnac better handles SageTV recording filenames that use a 6-digit identifier instead of a 7-digit identifier.<br />
5. Changed: Image framework uses SSE for core rendering when possible. Should also be faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.108 (3/15/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improvements to Carnac parsing of download filenames.<br />
2. Changed: EPG channel auto-match did not run for all DVB variants.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned the EPG channel auto-match for non-ATSC channels.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.107 (3/14/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: EPG loading was not working properly for some country / postal codes.<br />
2. Fixed: Locked views could cause the view state to be lost between program startups.<br />
3. Changed: Better error handling during DVD video burning.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.106 (3/13/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.82.5 when using Red October HQ.<br />
2. Changed: Updated LAV .49. VC1 files now handled by LAV video decoder.<br />
3. Fixed: Burn queue track sorting was broken.<br />
4. NEW: Added support for DSD bitstreaming using DoP (requires 'WASAPI - Event Style' output and supported DSD hardware).<br />
5. NEW: DSD bitstreaming using DoP allows selecting the marker bytes (supports DoP 1.0, and older 0xAA approach used by dCS, Meitner, and others).<br />
6. Fixed: In some cases, text based subtitles could appear with multiple subtitles on top of one another.<br />
7. Fixed: EPG guide loading was not working properly for countries other than the US.<br />
8. Faster: Burning an audio CD when not decoding directly to disc prepares files several times faster.<br />
9. NEW: Added expression FileFolder(...) to get the folder of a file: FileFolder(string Filename = [Filename, 0], int LevelsUp = 0).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.105 (3/9/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: ISO image burning added to CD/DVD burn types. Also, DVD video burning now allows burning an existing ripped DVD from the hard disk.<br />
2. Changed: Added DLNA video profiles for devices that only support MPEG-2 audio in MPEG-2 video containers (no AC-3 support).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.104 (3/8/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved code structure / linkage so that JRWorker is 611kB smaller, Media Center is 353kB smaller, and PackageInstaller is 421kB smaller.<br />
2. NEW: Added the ability to auto-create particles for Blu-ray titles.<br />
3. Changed: Making changes to a particle no longer does any file tagging.<br />
4. Changed: VST plugin loading will accept v1.x VST effects instead of only v2.x effects.<br />
5. Changed: When creating a particle, a user interface is shown.<br />
6. Changed: Using Rename, Move, & Copy Files will show "" for particles and do no actions on them.<br />
7. Changed: When renaming the parent of particles, the particles are automatically updated.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.103 (3/7/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for sidecar .SSA/.ASS subtitles (feedback welcome).<br />
2. Changed: Added WebM Video (.webm) to the list of supported video types.<br />
3. Changed: Added a DoP test clip to the test clip suite.<br />
4. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.82.4 when using Red October HQ.<br />
5. Changed: When changing resolutions, Media Center always toggles desktop composition to force Windows to update the desktop manager (previously it only did this when starting playback, not when stopping playback).<br />
6. Changed: Revised the Help > System Info display (thanks to madshi for his help).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.102 (3/6/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added the expression function ConvertDate(...) to convert a human readable date to the internal date format (example: ConvertDate(3/6/2012) or FormatDate(ConvertDate(3/6/2012), decade)).<br />
2. Changed: Stack members are allowed to have discrete Playback Info, Playback Range, and Bookmark values.<br />
3. Experimental: It's possible to create a particle of a file that plays a certain title, subtitles, aspect ratio, playback range etc. (Stacks > Advanced > Create Particle...).<br />
4. Experimental: Added Stacks > Advanced > Auto Create DVD Title Particles to create a particle for each title on a DVD (so individual titles are playable). More information<br />
5. Fixed: JRSS mixing was incorrectly handling 6.1 in certain cases (it was assuming L R C LFE BC SL SR instead of reading the channel mask).<br />
6. Changed: Remove obsolete "no server header" advanced DLNA server option.<br />
7. NEW: Add "enable bitrate field" advanced DLNA server option. Disabled by default because some devices break when they get it. Enable it for devices that can use it for seeking.<br />
8. Fixed: prevent MC from trying to update tags on a remote file playing in the DLNA renderer or viewed by the DLNA controller.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.101 (3/5/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved television EPG loading interface.<br />
2. Changed: Television view in Standard View shows series images for programs when available, and removes the 'Image...' button that predates automatic series art downloading (part of auto-import).<br />
3. Changed: When using the Internet Explorer engine to render webpages in Standard View, IE's compatibility mode is no longer used.<br />
4. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.82.1 when using Red October HQ.<br />
5. Fixed: Exiting the ASIO configuration dialog could hang in some cases.<br />
6. Changed: DLNA: altered the logic on SetNextAVTransportURI to better support the different possible renderer implementations.<br />
7. NEW: DLNA: When in a DLNA zone AND we are not the controller (we didn't start playback) AND something is playing on the renderer device, try to get and display the MetaData from the renderer.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.100 (3/5/2012)'''
<br />
Internal testing build<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.99 (3/2/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved the workaround for the blue-screen crashes in the Thesycon (and possibly other) audio drivers when resetting with Kernel Streaming.<br />
2. Changed: Reworked how full packet Kernel Streaming delivery is handled to work better with video (full packets are required or some drivers stall playback).<br />
3. Changed: If video hardware acceleration is enabled, and Media Center detects an Intel Atom processor, DXVA2 Native mode is preferred over CUVID mode for hardware acceleration.<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA search didn't work properly with servers/renderers that used the same port for both.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.98 (3/1/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: The remote control plugin was not included in build 97, leading to problems.<br />
2. Fixed: Filename truncation could still unnecessarily truncate long fields.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.97 (2/29/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: DVB-S channel scan could produce wrong polarization value ("Linear Horizontal" was set to "Not Defined").<br />
2. Changed: Revised how filenames that are too long for the file system are truncated (previously truncation could be too aggressive).<br />
3. Fixed: The program could crash when the remote control feature was disabled.<br />
4. Fixed: DVB-T/S/C channel scanning could crash in some cases.<br />
5. Fixed: Stopping image playback while audio playback was in progress could cause a crash in build 96.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.96 (2/28/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.81 with Red October HQ.<br />
2. Changed: Gathering playback state and position information for a zone occurs in a background thread so a slow DLNA device or server can not cause user interface issues.<br />
3. Faster: The threaded approach to display information updating allows running updates one tenth as much while providing smoother visual position incrementing.<br />
4. Fixed: URL-based video playback was not working since build 94.<br />
5. Changed: Kernel Streaming output no longer writes partial packets if there's a shortfall or at the end of a track but instead delivers a full packet with some silence (some drivers blue screen on partial packets).<br />
6. Fixed: DVB-S channel scanning did not save modulation type value correctly.<br />
7. Fixed: Theater View > Playing Now > Info could show the wrong track when first entering.<br />
8. Changed: Video conversion for Gizmo / WebGizmo uses MP3 instead of AAC (works better with Android 4.0, maybe others).<br />
9. NEW: Video conversion tool using Red October available on right-click menu (Library Tools/Convert Format). The UI is mostly finished, the transcode profiles are not fully defined and may not give expected results. More to come.<br />
10. Fixed: After deleting files from Playing Now, the selection could unexpectedly revert to the playing track.<br />
11. Changed: Renamed Options > Media Network > Client Options > to 'Automatically sync changes made on client back to server' to 'Auto sync with server'.<br />
12. Fixed: DVB-T/S/C channel scanning could crash in some cases.<br />
13. Changed: Theater View sheet list style adapts the image aspect ratio like other lists (instead of always using squares).<br />
14. Fixed: A few bugs in the DLNA renderer.<br />
15. Changed: Added Media_Duration to GetMediaInfo for the DLNA renderer.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.95 (2/24/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .48 which fixes a crash with native DXVA2 on hardware that doesn't support decoding all formats.<br />
2. Changed: IIR based DSP effects like low-pass, high-pass, Linkwitz, etc. better handle denormals (numbers very close to zero) so performance slowdowns don't arise from these numbers.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned timing used when switching madVR between Display View and Theater View to (hopefully) fix black-screen hangs.<br />
4. Changed: Updated the RSS feed for Theater View Yahoo! News to point to a new RSS feed that works (Yahoo! still offers the old feed, but it's full of broken links).<br />
5. Fixed: Sometimes when deleting files, especially from Theater View, the remove empty folders prompt would not appear right away.<br />
6. Fixed: Toggling the new DSP option 'Process independently of internal volume' could cause a burst of sound if the internal volume was low.<br />
7. Fixed: Tempo & Pitch DSP did not flush fully, so on seek, etc. a little tail could be heard in some cases.<br />
8. Changed: The text output in the Export Playlist tool creates standard CSV output (RFC 4180 compliant).<br />
9. Fixed: Channel editing tool did not work for DVB-C/S and QAM tuner types.<br />
10. Changed: Removed Output Format option for sources that have an incorrectly mastered subwoofer, use -10dB to the subwoofer in Parametric Equalizer instead if needed (discussed here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=70303.0).<br />
11. NEW: Add DLNA controller switch to ignore transport events (use polling mode) to the Player Zone.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.94 (2/23/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: WASAPI output mode could lose lip-sync when seeking in video.<br />
2. Faster: Pruning of the Theater View background cache could cause exiting Theater View to be slow (pruning is now around 50x faster and only done once a week).<br />
3. Fixed: LAV Source/Splitter filter would allow viewing configuration pages which is not valid for auto-configured Red October filters and in fact shows the config for a separately installed instance.<br />
4. Changed: Theater View News works better when an article fails to load (like the current Yahoo! failures due to a Yahoo! server problem).<br />
5. Fixed: Volume Protection could engage and turn the volume down on subsequent videos when playing videos back to back.<br />
6. Faster: The HTML parser used by Theater View news is about 10x faster.<br />
7. NEW: Each DSP effect can be set to be processed independently of internal volume (Options button at top right of DSP).<br />
8. NEW: DSP effects can be set to process only when viewed, which is useful for visualization style items like Analyzer (Options button at top right of DSP).<br />
9. Changed: Tuning to some wording in DSP Studio.<br />
10. Changed: DSP Studio keeps 'Output Format' first and 'Volume Leveling' second. A message explaining this is shown if a user attempts to put other effects before these effects.<br />
11. NEW: Added a second Parametric Equalizer to DSP Studio so it's possible to apply effects on either side of Room Correction, convolution, etc.<br />
12. Changed: One-time reset of DSP effect ordering due to other changes.<br />
13. Fixed: DLNA controller function was assuming it was in control whenever a zone was selected leading to badness if we were only viewing a zone someone else was controlling.<br />
14. Changed: DLNA controller polls for playing state if it thinks it's playing but the position isn't updating from 0. This fixes trouble if an event is missed.<br />
15. Turkey: Moved the search box to the lower-left of the Options dialog as discussed here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=69921.0.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.93 (2/21/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added support for reading the lens name from XMP.<br />
2. Changed: Improved the HTML parsing engine used in Theater View > News to works better with BBC, possibly others.<br />
3. Changed: Tweaked the list of reasons in the uninstall dialog.<br />
4. NEW: Added The Verge to Theater View News.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.92 (2/21/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
2. Changed: MCWS functions that return a decimal will always use . as the decimal character (unless the value is designed to be displayed to a user like VolumeDisplay, etc.).<br />
3. Changed: Revised how image playback creates hardware accelerated devices to fix stalls before drawing the image on some machines.<br />
4. Fixed: Switching between 3d and regular Theater View lists could cause the number of thumbnails in a row to change.<br />
5. Changed: Minor tuning to thumbnail sizing in Theater View to make a 1080p display more likely to show 3 rows for movies.<br />
6. Fixed: VideoClock was not engaging in some cases so there could be frame repeats / frame drops.<br />
7. Changed: VideoClock will allow up to a 1% clock drift to achieve a perfect 2.5 video to refresh rate multiplier (used for 24 Hz video on 60 Hz display).<br />
8. Changed: Real Media video files (.rm,.rmvb,.rv,.smil) are now played through Red October rather than using the Real Media engine (which wasn't working anyhow).<br />
9. Fixed: DVB-S channel scanning could get channels with wrong frequencies or multiple entries of the same channel with different frequencies.<br />
10. NEW: Added a subtitle mode (Options > Video) that shows a sidecar when it's found, regardless of other settings. (mode: Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is different from audio language, or if subtitles are in a sidecar file)<br />
11. NEW: Added default field 'Lens'. Filled automatically from the EXIF tag with Canon cameras.<br />
12. Fixed: Downloading from Library Server for transfer to a handheld might time out if conversion was custom MP3 and audio file was very large (~2 hours).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.91 (2/20/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Television channel scanning did not work for the last couple of builds.<br />
2. Fixed: Ctrl+F would not select existing text in the search box.<br />
3. Changed: Default sorting for television shows will use Series\Season\Episode\Name instead of just Name.<br />
4. Changed: Empty sort rules in a view or parent view could cause problems when setting the sort to (Default).<br />
5. Fixed: Installing a build manually clears any queued auto-updates.<br />
6. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .47 with DXVA Native mode support and other goodies.<br />
7. Fixed: Library server and DLNA audio conversions to mp3 were not working.<br />
8. NEW: Added DLNA controller function which can change tracks gaplessly. Requires that the renderer supports SetNextAVTransportURI. Works nicely with MC's renderer. Needs testing with other renderers whether they have the function or not (look for breakage on renderers that don't support it).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.90 (2/16/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: The OSD window would only draw one line of text in some cases (hopefully fixed, please let us know).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.89 (2/15/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added the HDTracks store including download and search (Services & Plug-ins in the tree).<br />
2. Changed: Added extra logging for TV recording.<br />
3. Changed: Revised escapement of non-printable characters in XML to work with more XML parsers.<br />
4. Fixed: Relative paths that moved up multiple paths with ../.. were not handled properly in some cases.<br />
5. Faster: Internal Volume uses SSE when it's available for around 20% - 30% faster volume processing.<br />
6. Changed: Reduced wait time for DVB and QAM channel scanning.<br />
7. Changed: Added a wait when switching user interface modes while madVR is in use to help with full screen exclusive causing Theater View creation problems.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.88 (2/14/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Increased the number of allowable Theater View background images that will be cached (now the lesser of 1 GB or 2500 images).<br />
2. Fixed: The tooltip for the Compare(...) expression function listed incorrect examples.<br />
3. NEW: Added full support for DSF tagging (uses ID3v2 tags at the end of the file).<br />
4. Fixed: MC could crash when scanning for DVB-C (and maybe DVB-S) channels.<br />
5. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).<br />
6. Fixed: Internal Volume was not working when no effects were enabled in DSP Studio.<br />
7. Fixed: Theater View artist backdrops were not working properly when there was a list of artists for a file.<br />
8. Fixed: Theater View would incorrectly show backdrops for the first file in a selection with varying series or artists (backdrops only appear if the backdrop would apply to all files in the selection).<br />
9. Fixed: DLNA: present proper bitrate in when converting to MP3.<br />
10. Changed: Search suggestions don't appear if search syntax is entered into the search box (defined as the characters: []=).<br />
11. Fixed: Non-printable characters below 0x20 were not being escaped properly when generating XML.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.87 (2/10/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Tuned the Internal Volume slider scaling (more details here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=69939.0).<br />
2. Fixed: DVB-C tuning space was specified incorrectly.<br />
3. Fixed: Albums that ended with period characters would unnecessarily have their external cover art saved without the periods.<br />
4. Fixed: Random smartlists would not refresh when re-entering a playlist view in Theater View.<br />
5. Changed: Tuned DSD to PCM conversion to remove high-frequency aliasing noise.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.86 (2/9/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: A bad filename for a DVB-C transponder list file.<br />
2. Fixed: Theater View backgrounds could cause hiccups in animation when switching between artists, series, etc.<br />
3. Fixed: Theater View theme images tied to root item selection would not load when entering Theater View until the selection was changed.<br />
4. Fixed: WinTV Nova-T Stick DVB-T Tuner did not work.<br />
5. Changed: Carnac understands four digit episode numbers.<br />
6. Changed: Minor change in DVB-C/S tuning.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.85 (2/8/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Theater View themes support showing different images depending on the root roller selection (put images in [Theme Folder]\Root\Audio, [Theme Folder]\Root\Movies, etc.).<br />
2. Changed: The 'Don't ask me again' box when prompting about removing empty folders will save both a yes or no answer (previously by design it would only save a yes answer).<br />
3. Changed: DLNA:Try to return a valid container ID for browsemetadata.<br />
4. NEW: (Clear) QAM digital cable television support.<br />
5. Fixed: Internal Volume was not being honored when doing level calibration with Room Correction.<br />
6. Fixed: When going back a level in Theater View sometimes the focus could shift unexpectedly to the top roller.<br />
7. Changed: Theater View themes use a faster fade when switching to a different set of images (but still the same fade time between images in a slideshow set).<br />
8. Fixed: Browsing into a Netflix series entry in Theater View was not working properly.<br />
9. Faster: Theater View online theme handling better caches searches to reduce web traffic / overhead.<br />
10. Fixed: Changes to Netflix account information were lost if program crashed.<br />
11. Changed: Volume mode, internal volume level, and Volume Protection are saved as they are changed instead of on shutdown so settings aren't lost if there's a crash.<br />
12. Fixed: It was possible to use Send To to add tracks to a locked playlist.<br />
13. Changed: Intel QuickSync is now supported for video acceleration for VC1, AVC, and MPEG-2 formats.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.84 (2/7/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Manual TheMovieDB would show the URL to the poster and backdrop in the results.<br />
2. Faster: Clicking between entries in Get Movie & TV Info no longer reloads the result from the server.<br />
3. Fixed: The level of data in visualizations would be incorrectly reduced by Internal Volume.<br />
4. NEW: Theater View animated lists support all the same typed-navigation functionality as standard lists (1: home, 0: end, 2-9: texting style, letters: as expected).<br />
5. Fixed: With a Theater View sheet list, zooming into an item could result in the full resolution image being cropped to a square instead of shown with its native aspect ratio.<br />
6. NEW: Added 'Timing' to subtitle right-click menu to allow adjusting when subtitles appear (changes saved per-file and applied on subsequent playback as well).<br />
7. Fixed: DRM protected wmv files were not playing.<br />
8. Fixed: DRM protected wma files could cause a crash during import or audio analysis.<br />
9. Fixed: Selecting AVI format for the video conversion type for DLNA playback did not work.<br />
10. Fixed: Some view header commands like locking of a playlist would not work as expected if the playlist was showing more than once on the screen (split views, Action Window, etc.).<br />
11. Fixed: "Nova-DT DVB-T Tuner" television device did not work.<br />
12. Changed: Theater View flow and wall lists use higher quality textures for the unselected items.<br />
13. Changed: Theater View animated lists use mip-mapping to improve the visual quality when zooming, moving, etc. (you can configure AA and AF in Options > General > Video Card).<br />
14. Fixed: The Editor field was not usable for images as reported in the build 83 change log.<br />
15. Fixed: Possible crash while switching between views in Theater View.<br />
16. NEW: When customizing Media Network views, the 'All' item can be enabled or disabled per view.<br />
17. NEW: Revised the default Media Network (DLNA, Gizmo, etc.) views to work more like Theater View (it's recommended but optional that you use Options > Media Network > Customize views > Reset to get the new defaults).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.83 (2/6/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: OGG import could crash.<br />
2. Changed: ID3v2 tag reading doesn't treat / as a delimiter in ID3v2.3, but instead uses NULL as the delimiter for reading and writing in ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4.<br />
3. Changed: Room Correction can be used on the first 8 channels when outputting more than 8 channels of audio.<br />
4. Changed: Internal volume is applied before DSP instead of last, so that limiting and clip protection are never applied unless actually required by the hardware.<br />
5. Changed: Tuned the logarithmic scale used by internal volume (so 50% is -13.8dB instead of -10.2dB).<br />
6. Changed: When building a filename from file information, only the primary / first artist or genre will be used from a list.<br />
7. Fixed: Albums with lists of artist values could use the list instead of the primary artist for the 'Album Artist (auto)' field.<br />
8. Changed: Updated the copyrights on the splash and about images to 2012.<br />
9. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
10. Fixed: Theater View News and Weather would not appear when running in a language other than English.<br />

14. Changed: Opened up the field Editor, Series, Series Description, and Track # for use with images.<br />
15. Changed: Opened up the field Track # for use with videos.<br />
16. Changed: Using the search arrow in the Artist column on a file with a list of artists will search on the first artist instead of the combination of all the artists.<br />
17. Changed: To search a view with the wizard, use Ctrl+Shift+F. Ctrl+W / Ctrl+Q no longer do anything in the search box (since Ctrl+Q is a standard shortcut for closing a tab / program).<br />
18. Fixed: When playing YouTube from Theater View, the playback bandwidth setting from Options > Services > YouTube was not being honored.<br />
19. Changed: When a web media resource can not be played, it will show a playback error instead of showing an empty browser window.<br />
20. Fixed: The finish in the installer would hang for 15 extra seconds when performing an automatic update from Update Channels.<br />
21. Fixed: In some cases when the 'No subtitles' item was active, the OSD would not work for changing subtitles.<br />
22. Fixed: If DLNA eventing was not working, the player could stick at a 'Waiting...' state.<br />
23. NEW: Convolution automatically adjusts for filter latency for cases where a delay is baked into the filter files (still preserves intentional timing differences between channels).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.82 (2/3/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Theater View could crash when deleting items.<br />
2. Faster: Improved Theater View's UI update system (when playback advances, etc.) so that fewer updates happen and updates look smoother when they do happen.<br />
3. Fixed: Searching in Theater View could crash with build 80 or 81.<br />
4. Fixed: Hulu AdZone clips would not play properly.<br />
5. Faster: Improved performance of DSD reading and decoding.<br />
6. Fixed: Incorrect message displayed in 'Edit Cd Information' dialog.<br />
7. Fixed: The uninstaller could error when finishing.<br />
8. NEW: The search language supports putting a hat in front of a keyword to do word matching (so ^car matches "Car Blues" or "My Car Broke" but not "Carolina on My Mind").<br />
9. Changed: Hat is an escaped character in the search language, so you must use /^ to search for a literal hat.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.81 (2/2/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Lots of tuning and fixes to the new Theater View list styles.<br />
2. NEW: Theater View shows movie backdrops from TheMovieDB.<br />
3. NEW: Animated lists show a caption (and bubbles for DVD / Bluray on the right).<br />
4. Changed: The way network servers are broken down upon exit trying to fix hanging exit problems.<br />
5. Changed: DLNA: BrowseMetaData was returning no parentID, now returns the root parentID. Could solve problems with some renderers when MC is the controller.<br />
6. Fixed: DLNA, if a player zone was associated with a particular DLNA server and that server was deleted we didn't pick up the default (first DLNA server) to use with that zone. Now it defaults back to the first server and one can associate it with a new zone if desired.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.80 (2/1/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added animated Theater View list styles 'Flow' and 'Sheet'. Animated 3d lists can now be used in any view of Theater View.<br />
2. NEW: Added support for Computer Audiophile playback scrobbling, called 'CA Scrobbles' (configure in Options > Services).<br />
3. NEW: DVB-C television support.<br />
4. Fixed: TV Configuration did not offer DVB-S as one of tuner types.<br />
5. Changed: Added more logging in order to diagnose DVB-S scanning failure.<br />
6. Fixed: TV channel scanning did not show a proper message when scanning failed.<br />
7. Fixed: Some PSD files with certain format embedded thumbnails could cause a crash.<br />
8. Fixed: During DVB-S channel scanning the satellite transponder file failed to open.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.79 (1/30/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: When 'Show playback zones from the server on the client' was unchecked in options, DLNA zones from the server were still shown.<br />
2. Changed: Red October uses the latest LAV filters (v0.45). Support for Intel Indeo 4, MS Video 1, 8BPS, LOCO, ZMBV, VCR1, AASC, plus other new goodies and bug fixes.<br />
3. Changed: Removed options for disabling tray icons for ffdshow and Haali filters since Red October removes the need for these.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.78 (1/27/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: FLAC date tagging bug present in v77.<br />
2. Fixed: Using the web service call to set current position during playback was not working properly if called in rapid succession.<br />
3. Fixed: In certain cases the Green Button on the remote control did not work correctly.<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA, the name of the bitrate field was wrong (it was bitRate).<br />
5. Fixed: DLNA, the value of the bitrate field was incorrect if the file WASN'T being converted. This could prevent proper seeking in renderers that used that field (i.e. WhiteBear).<br />
6. Changed: All http services, return error 416 when a request was out of range as opposed to an empty partial content response.<br />
7. Fixed: In some user's libraries, sequence columns were not sorting correctly.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.77 (1/26/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated YouTube support for latest site changes.<br />
2. Fixed: The purchase / trial extension dialog could crash.<br />
3. Changed: Automatic movie & tv info lookup will overwrite the name for a television episode using the value in the online database (no other existing data is overwritten in automatic mode).<br />
4. Fixed: Editing Artist, Genre, Composer, and Conductor in the Tag Action Window was not working properly.<br />
5. Changed: OGG tagging better supports list fields.<br />
6. Changed: Updated FLAC plugin -- removed MFC, updated settings dialog, improved support for list-fields, etc.<br />
7. Changed: APE tagging supports NULL delimited lists for fields (applies to APE and MPC files).<br />
8. Changed: 'Album Artist (auto)' only considers the primary (first in the list) artist for tracks.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.76 (1/25/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Artist, Genre, Composer, and Conductor are list-type fields.<br />
2. Changed: List fields can be configured to use a standard edit or list edit style. Existing user created list-type fields will need to be updated in Options > Library & Folders > Manage library fields > Edit Type > List if you want a list-type editor for them.<br />
3. Changed: ID3v2 tagging better supports list fields.<br />
4. Changed: All TheMovieDB genres get populated to the genre field.<br />
5. Changed: WMA/WMV tagging better supports list fields.<br />
6. NEW: Putting a hat in front of a search token does an ordered list compare (so "^[Keywords]=cat" will match "cat; dog" but not "dog; cat").<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.75 (1/25/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: TMDb lookup was not loading all information.<br />
2. Changed: Updated DVB-S satellite transponder files.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.74 (1/24/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: DVB-S television support. Please test.<br />
2. Changed: Library server access key registration is now updated hourly instead of daily. This should reduce problems with having a dynamic external IP address.<br />
3. Changed: DSP plugins are flushed when they're turned on so plugins with a history won't cause old audio to play when turning on.<br />
4. Fixed: Media Editor was not opening high bitdepth files properly.<br />
5. Faster: Improved how Convolution operates when a filter operates on multiple input channels (should give a 10-25% speedup in these cases).<br />
6. Fixed: Playing images and videos at a remote location was not working properly with WebGizmo.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.73 (1/23/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Carnac better handles videos that are signed with two usernames.<br />
2. Fixed: Unimported television shows would not be considered television shows by some tools.<br />
3. Fixed: Resolution changes while Theater View were showing were not handled nicely.<br />
4. Fixed: With JRSS disabled, bass redirection in Room Correction would not work in some cases.<br />
5. Changed: Revised the generic tagging error to say "errors while tagging or moving files" instead of "errors while tagging and moving files".<br />
6. Changed: VideoClock no longer considers 2.5x a target ratio between the monitor refresh rate and video frame rate worth deviating the clock to achieve.<br />
7. Changed: When looking up movie & TV information automatically as part of auto-import, fields with existing data will never be overwritten (manually running the tool will overwrite existing data).<br />
8. Changed: Adding an auto-import folder offers auto-complete of paths when typing.<br />
9. Changed: TMDb lookup gets genre for movies.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.72 (1/20/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Tuning to how a video looks when starting if it takes a little while to load (removed fade-in animation from build 71, changed timing).<br />
2. Changed: YouTube clips with a genre of 'Music' will have their media sub type set to 'Music Video' so that JRSS upmixing will use music mixing instead of center-focused movie mixing.<br />
3. Faster: Optimization to make playing from an Internet source a little faster.<br />
4. NEW: Added relational field 'TheTVDB Series ID' that will be used when running Get Movie & TV Info, when loading backdrops, etc. (if some series gets the wrong data, use 'Get Movie & TV Info' manually to get correct data one time and subsequent lookups of the same series will automatically use that series).<br />
5. NEW: 'Get Movie & TV Info' can be run on any number of files (when processing more than one file, automatic lookup is used instead of showing the lookup dialog).<br />
6. Fixed: The option 'Skip file if already in library' in Action Window > Camera was not working in some cases.<br />
7. Changed: Added media sub type 'Test Clip'.<br />
8. NEW: Added 'Create Audio Test Clips' under Tools > Advanced to create audio files that are useful for testing and calibration (pink noise, tones, silence, etc.).<br />
9. Changed: DLNA, allow some time for M-Search and Notify to be propagated before repeating. Seems to help with DLNA device detection.<br />
10. Fixed: LAV Video decoder was being used for Cinepak and MSRLE but the codecs were not being enabled in LAV, causing some files to fail to play.<br />
11. NEW: It's now possible to rename DLNA renderer zones.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.71 (1/19/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: YouTube playback was not working.<br />
2. Changed: Disabling of the screensaver / monitor power while playing a video is more reliable.<br />
3. Fixed: Grouping of Duration or other decimal number fields in views could give unpredictable results.<br />
4. Fixed: The search box was disabled on the Scheduler > Play task page.<br />
5. NEW: Deleting the last item in a Theater View list will automatically go back a level instead of showing an empty list.<br />
6. Fixed: After deleting all items in a Theater View category, and then going back, the category would remain until leaving and reentering the view.<br />
7. Changed: Starting video playback won't show cover art or 'Opening...' if the video starts in a few seconds.<br />
8. NEW: Allow a DLNA player zone to associate with a particular DLNA server (right-click on the zone->Associate with DLNA server). If not set, MC defaults to the old behavior (first in the server list).<br />
9. Fixed: Remove DSP and Playback options from DLNA zones (not applicable).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.70 (1/18/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Get Movie & TV Info wasn't properly sorting TheTVDB matches by relevance.<br />
2. Fixed: TheTVDB lookup didn't handle multiple directors properly.<br />
3. Changed: Sidecar subtitles with no language specifier are used automatically if the video has no other embedded / forced subtitles (unless subtitles are turned off in Options > Video).<br />
4. Changed: Updated the default Podcasts (use 'Add Default Podcast Feeds' to get the latest list).<br />
5. Faster: When browsing Explorer views, file are analyzed several at a time instead of one at a time (makes browsing unimported files must faster in Standard View and Theater View).<br />
6. Faster: DVD analyze / import times are much faster.<br />
7. Faster: Improved performance of Theater View 'Explorer' views.<br />
8. Fixed: Disabling of the screen saver was not working in Theater View (optional in Options > Theater View).<br />
9. Faster: Tuned SSE3 used for Convolution making the engine around 5% faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.69 (1/17/2012)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for output delays in Convolution configuration files.<br />
2. NEW: Media Center now supports the Bink video format (.bik).<br />
3. Fixed: A list-style Action Window Tag window (like Keywords, etc.) could steal the focus from the search box when it was open.<br />
4. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
5. Fixed: Hulu playback could stall.<br />
6. Fixed: In certain cases, button presses from a remote might not register in Media Center.<br />
7. NEW: Auto-Import looks up movie & TV info (optional, only runs on movies and TV episodes with no metadata, operates the same as manually running 'Get Movie & TV Info' and selecting the first result).<br />
8. NEW: Added MCC command (MCC_SET_VOLUME_MODE:20056) for setting volume mode (parameter 0=application, 1=internal, 2=system, 3=disabled).<br />
9. Fixed: 24-bit ALAC files were not playing properly. <br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.68 (1/16/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Showing Theater View could hang at a black screen in some cases.<br />
2. NEW: Improved Hulu integration (login, queue, more titles per category, nicer playback, etc.).<br />
3. Faster: Convolution uses SSE3 in the convolution kernel when supported (gives about an 8% speed-up to the convolution engine on supported processors).<br />
4. Fixed: When using VideoClock when a large correction was needed (like PAL slowdown), the audio rate could fail to stabilize in some cases, especially when using madVR.<br />
5. Changed: VideoClock will target a maximum deviation of 5% instead of 7.5% to achieve an even multiple between the video and display rates (so 28 Hz material on a 60 Hz display won't target 1:2, but 25 Hz material on a 24 Hz display will still target 1:1).<br />
6. Fixed: The DVB-T channel scanning problem in build 65 is fixed.<br />
7. NEW: The subtitle engine supports sidecar subtitles when playing from a Library Server.<br />
8. Changed: In image preview mode, doing something that shows an Action Window (like Share to Web) will close the image preview so that the Action Window will be visible.<br />
9. Fixed: The option "Video/Crop edges" wasn't working for non-DVD videos.<br />
10. Changed: When DVD playback fails because MS decoder won't connect to splitter, we now fall back to other Mpeg2 decoders rather than failing playback.<br />
11. Fixed: Playing multiple videos in a playlist could unnecessarily delay 5 seconds when starting subsequent videos.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.67 (1/13/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: The DVB-T channel scanning problem found in build 65 is truly fixed.<br />
2. Fixed: When moving or deleting video files with an associated image file, if the image file was also imported into the database, the database entry didn't get moved or deleted correctly.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.66 (1/12/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Library servers without a key (never clicked on access key under Media Network Options) will now show up as a library server instead of a DLNA server under Playing now.<br />
2. Fixed: Minor cleanup of a sent user agent string in Media Network.<br />
3. Fixed: The DVB-T channel scanning problem found in build 65 is likely fixed.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.65 (1/10/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Convolution was not working properly.<br />
2. Changed: Convolution filter volume normalization is optional.<br />
3. Changed: Better volume handling when convolution resamples a filter to a different sample rate.<br />
4. Changed: Convolution normalization targets a change of -6 dB so that there's enough room to prevent clipping in most cases (it's also recommend that you leave 'Clip Protection' enabled in DSP Studio).<br />
5. Changed: Red October uses the latest LAV filters (v0.44). Intel QuickSync hardware decoding supported, plus other new goodies and bug fixes.<br />
6. Changed: Right-click menu on audio CD tracks no longer shows library tools that don't make sense. Added a button in header for getting track info from YADB.<br />
7. NEW: XMLTV channel IDs can be automatically matched with MC DVB-T television channels.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.64 (1/6/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Renaming a file or folder in the MC Explorer tree now runs a verification to make sure it wouldn't create any invalid (too long) filenames underneath and fails the rename if it would.<br />
2. Fixed: Using the "Rename, Move, & Copy..." tool for a video file with an associated image file was failing.<br />
3. Changed: When resampling audio, the resampler delay at the beginning (a small fraction of a second) is removed instead of outputting the silence.<br />
4. Changed: When importing videos (or doing quick find cover art), sidecar Folder.jpg images will be used if no [Filename].jpg image is found.<br />
5. Changed: Folder.jpg files stored one level above the VIDEO_TS or BDMV folders will be used if no other sidecar artwork is found.<br />
6. Fixed: Setting file association for playlist files like m3u wasn't working.<br />
7. Fixed: Handle the case of file in database being temporarily non-existent for serving via DLNA. Some renderers (i.e. WDTV) really don't like zero byte files being served (it prevented the WD from reading other files without a reboot).<br />
8. NEW: Added 'Convolution' to DSP Studio (more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=68828.0 ).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.63 (1/4/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: The default zone is named 'Player' instead of 'Here' (it's recommend that you rename zones to have a name that is meaningful to you).<br />
2. Changed: DVD scanning speed (FF/REW) capped at 50x since the playback graph was flaky at higher speeds.<br />
3. Fixed: Live digital television playback did not observe Custom Video Mode settings (filter selections). This problem for analog television will be fixed later.<br />
4. Fixed: Deleting a DVD movie did not delete an associated image file in the same directory.<br />
5. NEW: Added new Netflix browsing category "Recently Watched". This may require re-configuration under Tools/Options/Services.<br />
6. Changed: WebGizmo tuning.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.62 (1/3/2012)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Reverted the publisher in the uninstall to "J. River" from "JRiver" because the change could cause problems when rolling back to an old build.<br />
2. Fixed: MCWS/v1/Control/Key was not working in Theater View which made Gizmo Theater View remote mode not work.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.61 (1/2/2012)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Image playback (or other hardware accelerated views) could get into a state when an unexpected redraw was issued by Windows where presentation stalled the main thread and prevented timers from being serviced (so image playback could stall).<br />
2. Fixed: Customization of Gizmo views in Options > Media Network was not working.<br />
3. Fixed: WebGizmo thumbnails would not have text with some browsers.<br />
4. Changed: When dealing with output signals with more than 8 channels, the program assumes the first 8 channels follow the conventional L,R,C,SW,RL,RR,SL,SR ordering for the first 8 channels so that Room Correction, Parametric Equalizer, etc. can be used on the first 8 channels.<br />
5. Fixed: Netflix search box did not work right after exiting and re-entering the Netflix theater view.<br />
6. Fixed: Sound was muted following a DVD seek operation (ff/rew).<br />
7. Changed: A cancel button was added to the "Export all Playlists" wait message.<br />
8. Fixed: Setting the bitstreaming option would fail in some cases (may require manually reenabling bitstreaming one time).<br />
9. Fixed: Image playback was not handling lost Direct3d devices nicely, so locking the screen, etc. could break playback.<br />
10. NEW: Added advanced option to Options > Video called "Aspect ratio mode" which allows setting a global default for video aspect ratio handling (choices: no change, stretch, crop, automatic).<br />
11. Changed: Some tuning to the look and feel of WebGizmo.<br />
12. Changed: Changed copyrights to 2012.<br />

2. Changed: Revised the layout of library server webpage themes in [Install Path]\Data so that all are beneath [Install Path]\Data\Library Server.<br />
3. SDK: Library Server's HTML engine supports else clauses in conditionals (see WebGizmo for an example).<br />
4. SDK: Merged MCWS Browse/Image and File/GetImage image handling and parameters so sizing control, png, aspect ratio, etc. is available to both.<br />
5. Fixed: Transcoding MP3's to burn a CD was failing in some cases because MC was under-estimating the final size of VBR mp3 files.<br />
6. Changed: LAV video is now used to play JTV and Mpeg-2 content that used to use the Microsoft video decoder.<br />
7. Fixed: Updated LAV video version to fix an issue with AAC in television.<br />

2. Changed: Using Rename, Move, & Copy for a video file will also move sidecar edl, srt, smi, idx, sub.<br />
3. Fixed: Renaming a video file would move a sidecar image but not update the image file field, causing the link to the image to be broken.<br />
4. Fixed: Blu-ray titles weren't always showing up in the title menu.<br />
5. Changed: Red October uses the latest LAV filters (v0.43). Improved stability on WinXP, improved MKV performance, fixed problems with MPEG2/H264 broadcasts, AMV decoding, various other improvements.<br />
6. Fixed: Per-file aspect ratio settings were not being preserved between plays.<br />
7. Fixed: Sorting results by match quality wasn't always working well in the Get Movie & TV Info tool.<br />
8. NEW: The file rename and move tool now works with JTV titles in the database.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.58 (12/20/2011)'''

7. Fixed: Changes to the bitstreaming mode in Options > Video were not sticking.<br />
8. Fixed: Rename/Copy dialog was showing wrong case for file extension on destination DVD names.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.56 (12/16/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Theater View music backdrops from HTBackdrops.com uses more exact artist name matching when searching to reduce or eliminate the possibility of incorrect artwork.<br />
2. Changed: To better handle the variety of non-square pixel displays, a zone-specific option is available in Options > Video > Advanced > Aspect ratio correction (this replaces the old 'Anamorphic' aspect ratio mode).<br />
3. NEW: Added MCC zone-specific commands MCC_SET_SUBTITLES (10052), MCC_SET_AUDIO_STREAM (10053), and MCC_SET_VIDEO_STREAM (10054) (the parameter is: int nIndex (-1 toggles forward, -2 toggles backwards)).<br />
4. Changed: Saving a Rename, Move, & Copy preset with the same name as an existing preset replaces the existing preset.<br />
5. Changed: Cleaning the cover art folder will only delete album images for artist / album values that aren't in the library (even if no files reference the artwork).<br />

2. Changed: When renaming files according to a template, MC now uses a maximum of 60 characters rather than 40 for each DB field value within the template.<br />
3. Changed: Loading an EPG no longer attempts to find episode artwork in the cover art folder (and series images are handled by auto-import).<br />
4. Changed: Cover art assigned to video or data files is always stored next to the file.<br />
5. Changed: When importing a new video (or when using Cover Art > Quick Find in Cover Art Folder), only cover art next to the file is detected.<br />
6. Changed: The command 'Use Screen Grab For Thumbnail' saves the image next to the file instead of in a central screen grab folder.<br />
7. Fixed: Looking up cover art from the Internet for artist names with a dash in them could fail.<br />
8. Changed: Library backups go to [Documents]\JRiver\Media Center 17 instead of into the application data folder (configurable in Options > File Location).<br />
9. NEW: Moving the cover art folder with Options > File Location will move existing cover art on disk and update the database.<br />
10. NEW: Added Options > File Location > Cover Art > Clean cover art folder.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.54 (12/14/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Possible crash when starting video playback if it took a while to open the audio output and the audio path information was requested in the meantime.<br />
2. Changed: When switching display resolutions, Aero desktop composition is toggled to fix stale composition rates from causing troubles with madVR, etc. (thanks to madshi for the tip).<br />
3. NEW: It's possible to specify a default aspect ratio mode in Options > Video > Advanced (useful if you have an anamorphic lens, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.53 (12/13/2011)'''
<br />

5. Fixed: Updated LAV filters to alleviate some video playback issues on Windows XP.<br />
6. Changed: The expression editing control 'Insert Field' menu doesn't put brackets around field names (allows typed-navigation in the menu to work better).<br />
7. Fixed: Resizing some views using a glass-enabled skin could flicker.<br />
8. Changed: Updated 'Share to Web' Action Window to newer user interface components so that it works better with glass skins.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.52 (12/12/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added the Microsoft decoder DMOs as options for custom filter selection.<br />
2. Changed: Custom audio output selection for video playback requires using Custom video mode.<br />
3. Changed: The 'Condition' for custom video mode uses substring matching instead of exact matching (so codec(mpeg-2) will match 'MPEG-2 Video').<br />
4. Changed: Revised the naming of the video mode and Red October settings.<br />
5. NEW: Custom video mode allows selection of source / splitter filters.<br />
6. Fixed: Hauppauge Colossus and HD PVR did not play correctly on some computers. Now LAV audio decoder is specifically loaded for these devices.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.51 (12/9/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: New and improved system for choosing custom filters to go along with Red October (single easy to read list of changes, can apply customization per codec or container, etc.)<br />
2. Changed: When using 'Disabled Volume' volume mode, the volume isn't offered on the OSD.<br />
3. Fixed: Switching from 'Internal Volume' to 'Disabled Volume' didn't immediately disable any internal volume attenuation.<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA server, audio. When "convert when necessary" was set and the target was mp3 and the source was multichannel, the conversion was failing (wasn't downmixing to 2 channel). Broken by the multichannel changes in 17.0.48.<br />
5. Fixed: Some CD rips, especially classical, were generating folder names that were too long for the system to handle.<br />
6. Changed: Pressing the Spacebar no longer does the same thing as pressing the Enter key in dialogs, since Spacebar is often used for de-activating screensavers.<br />
7. Fixed: DLNA, jtv files are now converted when video conversion is set to "convert unsupported"<br />
8. Changed: DLNA, obsolete options for "support image content" and "support video content" are removed.<br />

4. Fixed: Transitioning out of fast forward / rewind during video playback was not working nicely the last few builds.<br />
5. Changed: More tuning to device lost handling for Theater View.<br />
6. Changed: Reduced compile size of logging, making the program a little smaller.<br />
7. NEW: Surround sound audio files can be played on Gizmo.<br />
8. Fixed: Some VC1 video files were not playing on Windows XP.<br />
9. Fixed: All http services. When receiving a http 1.1 request with "connection: close" the connection must close immediately after that transaction.<br />
10. NEW: When controlling a remote Media Center zone, reordering, deleting, and shuffling Playing Now is fully supported.<br />
11. Fixed: Embedded cover art in mp4 files was not used for thumbnailing.<br />
12. Changed: When a library fails to load, if there is more than one available library, the failure dialog will offer the option to load a specific library (along with other choices like retry, load previous, restore from backup, etc.).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.49 (12/7/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Some remote commands that used app commands (like 'back', etc.) weren't working in Theater View in the last couple of builds.<br />
2. Fixed: Right-clicking the DSP button in the player would show a menu over the top of the Audio Path dialog.<br />
3. Fixed: On some machines, thumbnailing of JTV or other MPEG-2 files could fail.<br />
4. Fixed: Video backgrounds were not working in Theater View.<br />
5. Changed: Reworked the presentation system used by hardware accelerated windows like Theater View to be more efficient (uses one less thread, negotiates with Aero better, etc.).<br />
6. Fixed: Using the fullscreen exclusive option for Theater View would lead to problems entering Theater View if exclusive mode failed.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.48 (12/6/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: In some cases, stopping a movie and returning to Theater View would not restore the resolution when using display mode changing until leaving Theater View.<br />
2. Changed: Posting a WM_CLOSE directly to Theater View would not work nicely (only applies to build 47).<br />
3. Fixed: Using a custom library field [Library] in the Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool could cause the setting to be lost when reopening the dialog.<br />
4. Fixed: The experimental fullscreen exclusive rendering in Theater View would switch the monitor refresh rate back to 60 Hz when entering Theater View from a 24 Hz movie.<br />
5. Fixed: Theater View exclusive rendering works better when switching to other programs on a multi-monitor setup, better handles mouse cursor hiding, etc.<br />
6. NEW: DLNA, added multi-channel audio conversion to wave/lpcm[. When converting to wave, 24 bit wave, L16 or L24 the original channel layout is used for conversion UNLESS set to "always convert" and "stereo downmix" (under advanced) is checked in which case everything is converted to 2 channel. NOTE: probably not supported by most renderers yet. Most likely to work on some DLNA DACS. For backwards compatibility "stereo downmix" should be selected with "always convert" when there is multichannel source in your library.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.47 (12/5/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Audio Path information could be incomplete with regards to DSP plugin processing state in certain cases.<br />
2. Fixed: Videos that exposed their subtitles with a MEDIATYPE_Text pin were not working properly.<br />
3. NEW: Added 384,000 Hz as a possible resampling choice in DSP Studio > Output Format.<br />
4. NEW: From memory audio playback will use up to 1GB instead of 256MB (after 256MB it checks against available memory to avoid using swap).<br />
5. Fixed: For operations where the action window shows the progress (i.e. Conversion Cache builder), if the 'X' button was clicked the action window would never go away.<br />
6. Changed: Screen resolution lists are sorted with the highest resolutions at the top instead of the bottom.<br />
7. Changed: Some internal window class names changed from "J. River ..." to "JRiver ..." (would only matter if you're scripting Media Center and targetting certain class names).<br />
8. Changed: Added experimental Theater View > Options > Advanced > Use fullscreen exclusive mode for drawing.<br />
9. Changed: DLNA, in content directories, increment updateID to prevent container caching (their numeric ID's are dynamically assigned).<br />
10. Fixed: DLNA, aggregate DVD's weren't always being presented with the proper mimetype and DLNA flags.<br />
11. Changed: DLNA, Now reports the size of aggregate DVD's in the content directory.<br />
12. Fixed: TV recordings from Hauppauge Colossus would not play.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.46 (12/2/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added the aspect ratio of 2.40 to the list of choices for Crop Black Bars available on the on screen display.<br />
2. Changed: FLAC files that didn't start with a FLAC__METADATA_TYPE_STREAMINFO block were not supported.<br />
3. Fixed: When using madVR and starting video playback from Theater View, build 45 could delay 5 seconds starting the video.<br />
4. Fixed: Imported DVD's now show the correct frame-rate (FPS), bitrate, and dimensions.<br />
5. Fixed: Importing some DVD's could cause JRWorker to hang.<br />
6. NEW: Parametric Equalizer provides a low-shelf and high-shelf filter (fully configurable, stackable, applicable to any channels, etc. just like other filters).<br />
7. Fixed: Drag-n-drop of an image from a web browser to the Tag Action Window > Image page didn't work nicely.<br />
8. Changed: De-interlacing will be done by madVR renderer (if it's in the graph) rather than LAV Video software de-interlacing.<br />
9. Changed: Reworked call ordering when starting television playback so that a video renderer is positioned before the graph is run.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.45 (12/1/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: BD/DVD titles sometimes reported the wrong file size after import.<br />
2. Fixed: Some BD titles would not import the compression info field correctly.<br />
3. Changed: Improved handling of bitstream errors in RAW AAC streams.<br />
4. NEW: Added 'Null Output' output plugin, available in Options > Audio > Audio Output. Allows playing videos on a machine with no sound card.<br />
5. Fixed: Playback of recorded JTV files wasn't cropping edges by default.<br />
6. NEW: Rewritten video import -- gets compression and frame rate for almost all videos and runs around 40% faster.<br />
7. Changed: Reworked call ordering when starting video playback so that a video renderer is positioned before the graph is run.<br />
8. NEW: DLNA added 24 bit LPCM conversion. Devices supporting this may not be available yet.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.44 (11/30/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: DVB-T channel channel switching from SD (MPEG-2) channel to HD (H264/AAC) channel, or vice versa, did not work.<br />
2. Fixed: MCC_PLAY_TV command (and maybe other rarely used television features) did not work.<br />
3. Changed: When using 'Do not play silence' in conjunction with gapped track switching, silence suppression first eats the gap before eating any of the track (so a long low volume fadeout won't end abruptly).<br />
4. Fixed: Creating a virtual handheld device that pointed to a UNC path did not work nicely.<br />
5. Fixed: Overriding an aspect ratio didn't work correctly in conjunction with Anamorphic mode.<br />
6. Changed: Playing a data file will increment the playback statistics 'Last Played', and 'Number Plays'.<br />
7. Changed: Updated to version .42 of LAV audio, video and splitter directshow filters. Improvements to raw PCM de-muxing and TrueHD audio playback, support raw RGB24 video in AVI.<br />
8. NEW: Now using LAV video decoder as replacement for ffdshow for most video decoding tasks in Red October.<br />
9. NEW: Internal configuration of madVR using programmatic interface - currently only disabling the seek bar.<br />
10. Changed: Double-clicking a JRiver note in a view other than 'Notes' will open it with a web browser.<br />
11. Fixed: Applying multiple font tags (like color or size) to the same section of a note could corrupt the note.<br />
13. NEW: Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool adds a 'Preset...' button that supports loading settings from Options > File Location, loading / saving user presets, and copying / pasting settings (for sharing with other users).<br />
14. Changed: Added the aspect ratio of 2.40 to the list of choices for Crop Black Bars.<br />
15. Fixed: Hot keys and remote commands weren't working while watching a Netflix movie.<br />
16. Changed: When a Theater View list is in the process of loading items, it shows "Loading..." rather than "There are no items to display".<br />
17. Changed: When video playback is started, the graph building thread will wait for pending user interface changes (like closing of Theater View) before loading or configuring the video renderer.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.43 (11/29/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: WebPlay / Gizmo video playback with conversion was not working in build 42.<br />
2. NEW: Video playback aspect ratio system is rewritten -- more flexible support for cropping black bars baked into videos, more consistent support across all types of movies, etc.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.42 (11/28/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Tagging a video file where the tag only modifies the sidecar will no longer update the last modified time of the video file.<br />

3. Fixed: SSA alignment tokens could appear as {\a...} text in subtitles.<br />
4. Changed: Improved support for SSA \an (numpad alignment) tokens.<br />
5. Changed: A change in television graph-building that possibly fixes some rare hangs.<br />
6. Fixed (probably): Crash when stopping television playback.<br />
7. Fixed: Play Doctor Playcharts saved under Playlists were not working properly.<br />
8. Changed: Playcharts were not supported for handheld sync.<br />
9. NEW: It's possible to edit saved Playcharts.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.41 (11/22/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Theater View defaults to a normal instead of a bold version of the main program font.<br />
2. Fixed: The math evaluator wasn't supporting exponent notation like x^y properly.<br />

4. Changed: Reverted the television AAC audio media type change made in build 40.<br />
5. Changed: Improvements to Limiter filter in DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer.<br />
6. Fixed: In auto-rip CD mode, multiple matches from on-line CD lookup would be shown even though user chose "automatically pick the first match".<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.40 (11/21/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: An image slideshow could show the border of the last picture in certain cases.<br />
2. Changed: Image slideshow Pan & Zoom effect uses less motion.<br />

6. Fixed: When transferring audio files (with transcoding) to a portable device from a Library Server, the last part of the audio was getting truncated.<br />
7. Fixed: Digital TV built a DirectShow graph using old channel info instread of current channel info, causing playback problems in DVB-T/T2 areas.<br />
8. NEW: Expression language supports ! operator in a conditional (ie. If(!IsEqual([Artist], Abba), a, b))<br />
9. Fixed: When editing a list type field in the Tag Action Window, and using page up and down to switch file, typing focus was lost.<br />
10. Fixed: Typed list navigation was not working properly with diacritics.<br />

18. Changed: Clicking a list checkbox (pane tagging, etc.) doesn't switch the keyboard focus to the list.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.39 (11/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Player window displays an audio path icon. Hoovering over the icon displays the full path of the current audio. The icon lights up when playing in Direct mode (ie. bit-perfect output).<br />
2. Changed: Tuned the 'Clip protection' filter of DSP Studio so that during video playback, it doesn't try to restore lost volume from clipping.<br />
3. Changed: Tuned the response time of 'Clip protection' to be slightly slower, and made the filter more agnostic to differing input sample rates.<br />
4. NEW: Added a 'Limiter' filter to Parametric Equalizer (still a work in progress, parameters not currently tunable).<br />
5. Changed: Merged video volume normalization option with the updated 'Clip protection' of DSP Studio so there's only one filter in the chain responsible for the final output level.<br />
6. Changed: Video playback requires the use of 'Clip protection' (instead of 'Overflows flatline').<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.38 (11/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Video playback was impaired on some systems in build 37 due to DXCore debugging code.<br />
2. Fixed: 'Get Movie & TV Info' wasn't working for television episodes numbers greater than 9.<br />
3. Fixed: Make DLNA handle full URL paths for the control URLS. Was preventing the WhiteBear renderer from working.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.37 (11/17/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: 'Get Movie Info' is now 'Get Movie & TV Info'; television episodes are looked up at TheTVDB.com.<br />
2. Changed: 'Get Movie & TV Info' better sorts results by quality.<br />
3. Fixed: Television tuner was left in "Undefined" status when recording ended or was canceled, if the recording was started when user was already watching the channel. This would prevent subsequent recording on the same channel from taking place.<br />
4. Fixed: Blu-ray playback from optical disc was broken in build 17.0.36.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.36 (11/17/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Removed verbose additional audio renderer logging that was added for a few builds to help track a problem.<br />
2. NEW: Added support for SAMI (*.smi) external subtitles.<br />

4. Fixed: Uninstalling MC could also unregister an existing ffdshow installation.<br />
5. NEW: Added a Playing Now > Overview view that appears when there's more than one zone that allows seeing all zones at once.<br />
6. Changed: Television series artwork is downloaded as part of auto-import's 'Get cover art' option.<br />
7. Changed: Artwork is no longer downloaded when loading the EPG (since the guide uses Internet images, and auto-import handles recordings).<br />
8. Fixed: Existing television series images could get overwritten by auto-import in some cases.<br />
9. Fixed: The Output Format option 'Source is correctly mastered for +10 dB calibration' was not being loaded properly by the options dialog.<br />
10. Fixed: Text drawing could incorrectly break lines so that an opening parenthesis was on one line and the text after it was on the next line.<br />
11. Fixed: Some Blu-ray titles would not play because Media Center was interpreting the playlist data wrong.<br />
12. Changed: Updated to madVR 0.79.<br />
13. Changed: When updating madVR, Media Center no longer wipes out existing *.3dlut and *.bin files.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.34 (11/14/2011)'''

5. NEW: Added option to 'Remove leading zeros' from the Clean File Properties tool (useful for cleaning up season and episode numbers).<br />
6. Fixed: Check for updates was not working properly with build 33.<br />
7. NEW: Typed navigation in lists or Theater View honors the user setting for ignoring articles (Options > Tree & View > Sorting).<br />
8. NEW: Added support for Page Up / Page Down while editing in the Tag Action Window to move between files in a list.<br />
9. Changed: More tweaking to the DLNA nested control fix from builds 29, 30 and 33. Could have caused trouble with some renderers.<br />
10. Changed: Updated to madVR 0.78.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.33 (11/11/2011)'''
<br />
1. Faster: Expression language is faster when dealing with fields (as a result, it's no longer supported to nest functions inside the Field(...) function).<br />
2. Changed: Zones are sorted by name in the tree.<br />
3. Fixed: Conversion of audio for DLNA and Gizmo could sporadically fail with the last few builds.<br />
4. Fixed: Jitter in the high-precision system timer could cause video playback failures (applies to dual-core AMD machines on XP, possibly others).<br />

9. Changed: The search language considers #TVGuideStartDate a number equal to the current time rounded down to the nearest half-hour.<br />
10. Changed: Expression fields that specify a data type with "&DateType=[...]" at the end of the expression work more nicely.<br />

7. Fixed: VOB subtitle streams that were resized independently of the movie could appear in the wrong location.<br />
8. Fixed: JRSS downmixing could have too high of an output level.<br />
9. NEW: File system manager that better handles missing drives and network files, so that files that are temporarily unavailable won't slow the program (the Windows API gets very slow with missing network files).<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.5 (9/19/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added default calculated field 'Orientation' that's filled with Lanscape, Portrait, or Square for image files.<br />

<br /><br>'''17.0.4 (9/16/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: After tagging Media Center explicitly sets the last modified time of the tagged file instead of assuming the file system will do it automatically (because network file systems are sometimes slow to update automatically).<br />
2. Changed: Using mc2xml for television guide data is easier.<br />
3. Fixed: When a file previously marked as bad was later imported, it would not have its name filled automatically.<br />
4. Fixed: Having the auto-import option to 'Update for external changes' disabled could (still) lead to problems with files that were marked as bad.<br />
5. NEW: High definition DSD audio can be bitstreamed using ASIO to outboard DACs that support DSD.<br />
6. Changed: Updated the ASIO engine to use the latest ASIO SDK (the latest, v2.2).<br />
7. Changed: When bitstreaming, the audio engine circumvents any conversion to and from 64-bit (which is lossless but still takes processing resources).<br />
8. Fixed: Random-type smartlists were not refreshing properly when browsing with DLNA.<br />
9. Fixed: The option "Keep only x episodes" of television subscription recordings did not work (no recordings were ever deleted).<br />

14. Changed: Year-only dates will have an empty day and month instead of 'January' and '1' as the values.<br />
15. Faster: Optimized how searches that don't specify a field work so that they better ignore fields that are not used by the library, not applicable to the media type of files in the view, etc.<br />
16. Changed: More stock fields are default search fields (most all text fields are now searched by default).<br />
17. Changed: Stock fields don't use the 'Default search field' option, but instead rely on rules in the source code.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.3 (9/13/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Red October uses LAV 0.35 filters.<br />
2. Fixed: Zooming into the selected thumbnail would not work properly if the scroll position was at the top of the list.<br />
3. Fixed: The Theater View file info panel option to hide empty values did not work properly for the rating field.<br />
4. Changed: Improved DVB-T channel scanning for UK and other European countries.<br />
5. Changed: Auto-import works better with removed and bad files when the options to 'Update for external changes' and 'Fix broken links' are disabled.<br />
6. Changed: Doing 'Update Library (from tags)' on a file in the bad database will move the file out of the bad location into the main database if it succeeds.<br />
7. Fixed: Screen grabbing of videos wouldn't work properly for some types.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.2 (9/13/2011)'''
<br />
1. Faster: Improved performance of core database engine (string searches about 15% faster for example).<br />
2. Faster: Revised storage format used in mediafiles.jmd to be more efficient, resulting in faster database loading (it's not uncommon for mediafiles.jmd to be over 50x smaller).<br />
3. Fixed: Closing the Smartlist editor while a drop box was open showing its content could lead to a crash.<br />
4. Fixed: Rotten Tomatoes JSON parsing could hang when it encountered escaped quotation marks.<br />
5. Fixed: Movies weren't showing up under genre categories for Netflix in Theater View (Netflix had changed their genres).<br />
6. Fixed: DVD bookmark loading wasn't working in some cases.<br />
7. Fixed: List style customization could present the wrong choices when using tree navigation of library views.<br />
8. Changed: Red October will use EVR as the default renderer when it is available on XP (instead of VMR 9).<br />
9. Changed: Software deinterlacing is disabled when using EVR in favor of the hardware-based deinterlacing that EVR provides.<br />
10. Fixed: Some WMV videos (for example the Windows 7 sample video Wildlife.wmv) wouldn't play on Android.<br />
11. Changed: The choice to rip a dvd as well as play the dvd is now presented when a DVD disc is inserted in the drive.<br />
12. Changed: Separate entries for "Other Video", "Ripped BD Video", and "Ripped DVD Video" file locations.<br />
13. NEW: Blu-ray disc ripping. Same requirements as for disc playback: must have Blu-ray reader software installed.<br />

17. Changed: DVD/BD rips bring up "Get Movie Info" dialog after clicking the Rip button if no meta-data has been entered for the movie.<br />
18. Changed: When the media insertion dialog pops up for a DVD/BD and "Rip" is chosen, the rip action window appears and user can modify the movie name instead of the rip starting up immediately.<br />
19. Fixed: Files that got imported while they were in the process of downloading or copying could get stuck in the 'bad database' location.<br />
20. Changed: Media Center is better at automatically selecting forced subtitle streams in videos.<br />
21. Fixed: DLNA. A change made in 16.0.111 caused MC to return a slightly different URL in status calls than was originally provided by MC's DLNA server (when the same instance of MC was being used as the server and renderer). This caused undesirable behavior for some control points (i.e. PlugPlayer).<br />
22. Changed: Red October nicely handles the case where video acceleration with DXVA or LAV CUVID is supported by the decoder but not the renderer (previously playback would fail in this case).<br />
23. Changed: Internal change on how the television time-shifting player graph is created.<br />
24. Changed: Some experimental code and additional logging for DVB-T television channel scanning.<br />
<br /><br>'''17.0.1 (8/31/2011)'''

11. Fixed: Returning from Playing Now to a zoomed in file info panel in Theater View could show a remnant of a list.<br />
12. Changed: Updated to LAV 0.33 filters with Red October (fixes a possible crash with PCM audio).<br />
13. Changed: When pausing or unpausing playback, the system sleep and display timers are reset.<br />
14. Changed: The screensaver is allowed while fullscreen playback is paused.<br />

<br /><br>'''16.0.155 (8/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When a file type that's normally a video has its media type set to audio (normally because it doesn't contain a video stream), it will be played with the audio engine instead of playing as a video with no display.<br />
2. Changed: LAV Audio decoder is used for WTV files when possible (may cause WTV playback to fail until the next build when LAV will be updated).<br />
3. Fixed: Issuing an image playback command from the web service while audio was playing and images were already showing could cause the view mode to toggle.<br />
4. NEW: Reworked how pane filtering works when 'Filter in both directions' is enabled so that each pane is filtered by all other panes and the order filters are applied does not matter (feedback welcome).<br />
5. NEW: Added RegexSearch(...) expression function that allows using regular expressions to parse any value.<br />

9. NEW: Subtitle shift and size can be set per file, and settings will be saved between plays and runs.<br />
10. Changed: Mouse panning with click-n-drag and mouse zooming with the mouse wheel works with Ctrl or Shift pressed (previously each required one of the two keys, and the keys were different).<br />
11. Changed: Reworked how the 3D drawing redraw mechanism works to hopefully fix an issue where timers could get starved and not run due to the drawing (feedback welcome).<br />
12. NEW: The 'Virtual Subwoofer' effect sounds better (includes Subclarity, steeper roll-off, and better clip-prevention).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.153 (8/15/2011)'''

2. Changed: When the tree is hidden, the view header menu includes the same 'Library Views' submenu as is in the View menu of the program (a separate breadcrumb is no longer displayed when the tree is hidden).<br />
3. Fixed: RemoveCharacters(...) expression with mode 0 was not removing character occurrences from inside the string.<br />
4. Changed: Added mode 3 to RemoveCharacters(...) to remove characters from the front and end of the value.<br />
5. Changed: For accessing Netflix content, Media Center now uses 'netflix.ca' in the URL rather than 'netflix.com' when the computer's locale is set to Canada.<br />
6. Fixed: When grouping numeric values like date, both empty and unassigned could appear in a list.<br />
7. Changed: By default the Wikipedia language will track the currently selected language in the program (but can still be customized in Options > Services).<br />
8. Fixed: Television playback was broken (video displayed in a separate window) when EVR was not used (build 148 only).<br />
9. Fixed: The bitrate displayed in the player area during playback could be doubled the actual bitrate for HE-AAC files.<br />
10. NEW: Add alternative way of specifying and receiving AlbumArtist and Performer in DLNA.<br />
11. Fixed: Digital ATSC television channel scan could produce channels with wrong physical channel values with some tuner devices.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.148 (8/5/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added expression function RemoveCharacters([value], [characters to remove], [mode]).<br />
2. Changed: The core function that validates and fixes filenames removes double-slashes.<br />
3. Changed: When editing the filename field by hand, the user-entered filename will be cleaned before attempting to apply the filename (previously the change would fail and the value would be reverted).<br />
4. Changed: Transparency for glass-style skins is supported in the player bar display area (updated Noire Glass as an example).<br />
5. NEW: Playback range is supported for video playback.<br />
6. Fixed: When using the Vista / Windows 7 system volume method, the volume would not bind to the proper sound card line in some cases when starting playback until after audio was playing, making it so volume protection could update the volume for the wrong zone.<br />
7. Changed: When using internal volume, the volume display will both the volume percentage and also the decibel value.<br />
8. Fixed: When switch from HD to SD television channel (or vice versa) the video aspect ratio could stay incorrect for a few seconds.<br />
9. Changed: The language of SRT is decoded from the filename when possible so that the user's subtitle settings can be applied for SRT subtitles the same as for internal subtitles.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.147 (8/4/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: By default, FSAA is disabled for all Intel graphics cards due to bugs with the Sandy Bridge drivers ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65662.0 ). Settings can be manually configured in Options > General > Video Card.<br />
2. Changed: Image playback draws error information on the screen when it fails to create a 3D device (as opposed to showing a black screen).<br />
3. Changed: User decoder selection and hardware acceleration get used before using madVR's internal video decoding.<br />
4. Changed: Disabled write-behind caching when saving database files to make the database more resilient against hardware crashes.<br />
5. Changed: With 'Hardware accelerate video decoding when possible', DXVA will be used with EVR or VMR9 (previously only used with EVR).<br />
6. Changed: In DSP Studio, clicking a checkbox will not switch what plugin is selected if the control keyboard button is pressed while clicking.<br />
7. Changed: Revised television playback video positioning to use a threading model that more closely matches regular video playback (to hopefully fix madVR stalls).<br />
8. Changed: Added logging to the VMR 9 subtitle overlay drawer to help troubleshoot subtitle problems.<br />
9. Fixed: YouTube support was not working due to YouTube server changes.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.146 (8/3/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Digital television graph building uses direct connection (not allowing intermediate filters) whenever it is sensible to do so. This will prevent unwanted filters from jumping in and causing crashes.<br />
2. Changed: Updated all language files to have the latest strings from the source code, and to remove any orphan strings.<br />
3. Changed: An optical Blu-ray disk will not get reanalyzed (which could revert the name to Blu-ray Movie) when reinserted.<br />
4. Fixed: The program was not asking for optical discs by name when trying to play an imported disc that wasn't in any drive (only applies to last few builds).<br />
5. NEW: Added Options > Video > Hardware accelerate video decoding when possible. It will try LAV CUVID (requires nVidia card), and also DXVA (requires EVR renderer instead of madVR).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.145 (8/2/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Removed the Subtitles > On / Off menu choice that would appear for videos with no subtitles (ffdshow didn't specify if subtitles existed, but the internal subtitle engine solves this).<br />
2. Fixed: When image or video playback was started while in Display View (from a script, SDK, etc.) the display could unexpectedly jump out of Display View.<br />
3. Changed: Moved 'Display Settings...' popup dialog options into the main program options (Options > Tree & View > Full Screen).<br />
4. Fixed: Switching subtitles while playing could cause a crash in rare cases.<br />
5. NEW: Added Options > Video > Subtitle size (changes size of text-based and image-based subtitles).<br />
6. Changed: If connection between video decoder and renderer still fails after setting video decoder output format to RGB, Red October inserts Color Space Converter and tries connection again.<br />
7. Changed: When madVR is configured to do video decoding, Red October HQ will try to connect to madVR without a video decoder first (video decoding in madVR disabled by default).<br />
8. Changed: Updated to madVR 0.73.<br />
9. NEW: Added Options > General > Show on screen instructions.<br />
10. Faster: Theater View list scrolling using the arrow keys / remote is over 10 times faster.<br />
11. NEW: Added DVD video burning.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.144 (8/1/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: The DVD menu button on the remote would not work while playing a DVD (only applies to the last few builds).<br />
2. Fixed: Fast forwarding a DVD to the menu would leave the playback rate display stuck (only applies to the last few builds).<br />
3. Changed: Improved performance of hardware accelerated drawing engine used by Theater View, image playback, etc. with devices that could stall when testing for device lost states.<br />
4. Fixed: When starting an image slideshow, the caption (if enabled in Options > Images) would not appear for the first image.<br />
5. Fixed: Blu-ray (PGS) subtitles that spanned multiple item blocks were not being decoded properly.<br />
6. Changed: Added more logging to playlist saving to help troubleshoot a Rockbox upload problem.<br />
7. Fixed: Resolutions not explicitly supported by the monitor would not work properly for auto-refresh rate changing.<br />
8. Changed: Updated to newer ffdshow (7/31) which reverted a change which caused choppy performance on many video files.<br />
9. Fixed: With the option 'Move center to front L/R' enabled, videos that used center-focused mixing could sound bad.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.143 (7/29/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: YouTube support was not working due to YouTube server changes.<br />
2. Changed: Improved how the playback position display works so that it both appears smoother and uses fewer resources.<br />
3. Changed: The merge of video and DVD playback code is finished. Please report any problems.<br />
4. Changed: Revised the right-click menu layout for video / DVD playback.<br />
5. Changed: Updated to version .31 of LAV audio and splitter directshow filters. LAV audio now handles DTS-WAV files nicely.<br />
6. Changed: For ffdshow auto-config, we're now setting flag titled 'multiThread' to 1 as well as 'numThreads' to number of processors. May be needed since ffmpeg-mt was merged with libavcodec??<br />
7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
8. Changed: Video resolutions not explicitly supported by the display will still be listed in Options > Video > Display Settings.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.142 (7/28/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Revised threading used by video playback engine, with the goal of improving video startup time and solving madVR hangs / stalls.<br />
2. NEW: Television recording option to specify the max number of episodes to keep for a particular subscription.<br />
3. Internal: Merging of video and DVD playback engines (still a work in progress, DVD playback may be problematic for a few builds).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.141 (7/27/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: IR learning was not working properly.<br />
2. Changed: Updated madVR to version v0.71 (fixes green tint in Red October HQ).<br />
3. Fixed: Google Image click-detection was not working in some cases.<br />
4. Changed: Tuning to instructions added in build 140 (only shown once per run, larger font size, better bubble sizing, etc.)<br />
5. Changed: JRWorker will try to use EVR in thumbnail building if it is found on the computer. Previously JRWorker only tries to use EVR on Vista or higher OS's.<br />
6. NEW: The sidecar subtitle selection will persist between plays, just like it does for stream-based subtitle selection.<br />
7. NEW: When showing a message box in Display View when the last used user-interface mode was Theater View, the message box will be a Theater View style message instead of a Standard View style message.<br />
8. Faster: Artist thumbnail views load much faster (previously switching to an artist view would wait while the cover art folder was analyzed but now this happens in a low-priority background thread; especially helpful if cover art is on a drive that spins down).<br />
9. Changed: Display modes with an integer refresh rate of 23 or lower would not appear in Media Center.<br />
10. NEW: When multiple playlists are selected in the tree, they can be deleted with a right-click.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.140 (7/26/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added on screen instructions that appear when entering Theater View and Display View.<br />
2. Fixed: Re-entering Theater View could crash in some cases.<br />
3. Fixed: Red October playback could fail if a user installed an older Media Center build, then a new one, then an old one again. The filter pack could get out of sync.<br />
4. Fixed: When simply dumping video graph info to a log file, Media Center could set a lock and attempt downloading a filter pack update.<br />
5. Changed: When viewing a list of television recordings in Theater View from the same series, 'Watch' plays a single episode and 'Watch All' is offered to play all episodes (starting at the selected episode).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.139 (7/25/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated madVR to version v0.70.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.138 (7/25/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Updated handler for Google Images so that setting cover art, downloading images, etc. works with the latest Google Images page format.<br />
2. Changed: Updated the French language translation (thanks to Jean-Guy Paquette).<br />
3. NEW: Updated madVR to version v0.69 (which brings back the improved VideoClock performance when using madVR).<br />
4. NEW: Updated the ffdshow used by Red October to the latest version.<br />
5. Changed: Video width and height are filled in during import time, with expectation that more accurate values may be found later at thumbnailing time. Previously we only fill in the values at thumbnailing time.<br />
6. Changed: Added LAV Video Decoder to the Red October + Additional Filters white list.<br />
7. Fixed: Playing files that could not be found would show an error and then could leave the player in an in-between state.<br />
8. Changed: Merged and improved the playback error messaging for Access Control filtering, NTFS permissions issues, optical discs that aren't found, etc.<br />
9. Changed: If FFDShow video decoder fails to connect to video renderer, a second attempt is made with FFDShow's output formats narrowed to RGB.<br />
10. Changed: When building DirectShow graph for ms-dvr/wtv files, video renderer will be changed to default renderer only if the default is EVR, and the change will not be made when the graph is built for thumbnailing.<br />
11. Fixed: Blu-ray (PGS) subtitles could have their red and blue color components switched.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.137 (7/22/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Using VideoClock + EVR could cause playback to stall.<br />
2. Changed: Export Playlist > Text File (delimited) uses UTF-8 instead of UTF-16.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.136 (7/21/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Party Mode was allowing a user to switch libraries.<br />
2. Fixed: If Theater View failed to create a 3D device (due to madVR exclusive mode, etc.) it could lead to a crash.<br />
3. Changed: madVR is auto-configured when first installed or when upgraded by Red October (user configuration performed after that will be preserved).<br />
4. Changed: When LAV CUVID fails to connect to a video format with Red October HQ, a different decoder will automatically be used (previously it could result in a playback error).<br />
5. Fixed: When filters and other dependencies were updated, some old files from the previous install were not cleaned up.<br />
6. Changed: Added support for more Sub Station Alpha (ASS/SSA) formatting.<br />
7. Changed: When Blu-ray playback fails because a reader is not installed, a more helpful message is displayed.<br />
8. Changed: Revised the default color lookup table used for VOB subtitles with no explicit color table.<br />
9. Fixed: VOB and EVOB subtitles could be in the incorrect spot with some movies.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.135 (7/21/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Extended ANSI characters could be read incorrectly (only applies to build 134).<br />
2. Fixed: DVD playback from a UNC path was not working.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.134 (7/20/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Text based subtitles were not working.<br />
2. NEW: Added support for VMR9 to the J. River subtitle engine (quality may not look as good as with EVR or madVR when playing low resolution content due to limitations of VMR overlay drawing).<br />
3. Fixed: Dolby Digital Plus bitstreaming was not working properly.<br />
4. Changed: Improved error messaging for a few video playback error conditions.<br />
5. Changed: Revised how video stopping works to be more efficient and to work better with madVR exclusive, VideoClock, etc.<br />
6. Fixed: Gapless playback of HE-AAC files was not working properly.<br />
7. NEW: Improved support for touch screen flick scrolling with Theater View.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.133 (7/19/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: MC will show a warning popup when a user schedules too many television recordings to be handled by the available tuner devices.<br />
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
3. Fixed: The path combobox on the Import Single Folder page could be tricky to type in while the import was searching for the recommended folders that are shown in the drop box.<br />
4. Fixed: Import would not always read tags (only applies to last few builds).<br />
5. Fixed: Clicking on a library root on an empty library could cause a crash.<br />
6. NEW: Added native support for MicroDVD .SUB files (naming must use [Name]*.sub and be next to the video or in a 'Sub', 'Subs', 'Subtitle' or 'Subtitles' subfolder).<br />
7. Changed: Export Playlist > Text File (delimited) uses UTF-16 instead of ANSI for better international character support.<br />
8. Changed: Export Playlist > HTML uses UTF-8 instead of ANSI for better international character support.<br />
9. NEW: Added support for text-based UTF-8 subtitles that are embedded into a file.<br />
10. Fixed: In some cases, text-based subtitles would fail to render.<br />
11. Changed: Switched back to previous version of MadVR video renderer because of some instability in the .67 version.<br />
12. Fixed: MC could not import tags nor play mp4/m4a files which did not conform to ISO specifications.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.132 (7/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added native support for embedded VOB subs.<br />
2. NEW: Added support for any number of external SRT subtitle files (naming must be [Name]*.srt where * is an identifier (or empty); if .srt files are in a subfolder the folder name must be 'Sub', 'Subs', 'Subtitle' or 'Subtitles').<br />
3. NEW: Added native support for Enhanced VOB (EVOB) subtitles.<br />
4. NEW: Updated to version .30 of LAV audio and splitter directshow filters.<br />
5. NEW: Updated to version .67 of madVR video renderer filter.<br />
6. NEW: VideoClock slaves the audio exactly to the refresh rate of madVR using IMadVRRefreshRateInfo instead of running a separate monitoring thread (better accuracy, better performance, and no need for a device that can cause problems with exclusive mode).<br />
7. Fixed: Audio track selection on DVD sources wasn't always working when sending to dlna and handheld devices.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.131 (7/15/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added native support for SSA, ASS, and ASS2 text-based subtitle formats.<br />
2. NEW: Added native support for sidecar subtitle files using SRT or IDX+SUB.<br />
3. NEW: The new subtitle engine allows choosing between multiple sidecar formats, languages inside the sidecar formats, and multiple streams from the right-click menu and/or on screen display.<br />
4. Fixed: The J. River Subtitle Renderer could cause video to stall when first starting.<br />
5. Fixed: The J. River Subtitle Renderer works better when switching subtitles on and off.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.130 (7/13/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added J. River Subtitle engine, currently used with Red October for Blu-ray subtitles only ( more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=65269.0 ).<br />
2. Changed: Improved the generic playback problem message shown when playback fails (and added a link to the wiki when not in Theater View where a webpage would be unfriendly).<br />
3. Changed: If playback of a video from Theater View failed, a playback problem message could be shown with a regular message box instead of a Theater View friendly message box.<br />
4. Fixed: If a message box was shown right as Theater View was loading, it could render incorrectly.<br />
5. Changed: Live television uses JRSS center-focused mixing for 2.0 to 5.1/7.1 conversion.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.129 (7/11/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: BDMV import now analyzes the physical file so that compression information, frame rate, duration, etc. are gathered (use Update Library (from tags) on existing BDMV files).<br />
2. Fixed: Bookmarking would not be used for videos with no duration.<br />
3. Fixed: Pseudo-surround detector could false positive in some cases.<br />
4. Fixed: Possible hang from a circular reference when a relational field contained stacked files.<br />
5. Fixed: Improved performance of the database when it contains many relational fields.<br />
6. Fixed: DLNA conversion to MPEG2/DVD with PS3 compat switch set wasn't working on the PS3.<br />
7. Changed: Parametric Equalizer changes are saved as they are made instead of at shutdown (so a crash won't cause settings to be lost).<br />
8. Changed: When editing Parametric Equalizer parameters, the changes are applied after a user stops making changes for a bit (so typing "200" won't first load "2" then "20" then "200").<br />
9. Fixed: Options > Video > Bitstreaming could show the incorrect value.<br />
10. Fixed: Right-click menu did not work properly when time-shifting on certain analog television tuners.<br />
11. Changed: Only the most recent "New Media Action" dialog is shown.<br />
12. Fixed: With certain subtitle settings, the default subtitle selection for some files could be incorrect.<br />
13. Changed: Disabled auto-resume functionality for DLNA renderers (to return as an option later).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.128 (7/8/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Subtitles could incorrectly default to on with some videos.<br />
2. Changed: Refinement to the center-focus JRSS mixing used for 2.0 to 5.1 / 7.1 video playback that was introduced in 16.0.127.<br />
3. Changed: Added MPC-HC video decoder to the white-list for Red October with additional filters.<br />
4. Changed: Improved the pseudo 5.1 detector used by JRSS.<br />
5. Fixed: Auto-import could import temporary files created while doing file conversion.<br />
6. NEW: Red October HQ will use LAV CUVID when possible.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.127 (7/7/2011)'''

8. Changed: Updated libogg to 1.2.2 and libvorbis to 1.3.2<br />
9. Changed: Improved JRSS 2.0 to 5.1 / 7.1 mixing engine when used with videos. Dialog is partially shifted from the main speakers to the center. Audio and music video playback still leaves the front mains untouched.<br />
10. NEW: JRSS mixing detects pseudo 5.1 (2.0 content inside a 5.1 container) and upmixes it to 5.1 / 7.1.<br />
11. Changed: Using oggenc 2.87.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.126 (7/6/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for gapless AAC playback (requires iTunSMPB header).<br />
2. NEW: Added native DFF and DSF file support. Output is as 64-bit PCM data with an 8:1 resample (normally 352800 Hz).<br />
3. Fixed: Re-starting time-shifting after stopping time-shifting on digital television tuners could cause MC to crash.<br />
4. Fixed: MC could crash in some instances when starting television in time-shifting mode.<br />
5. Fixed: In certain cases customizing Theater View's layout could lead to a crash.<br />
6. Fixed: Unnesting a Theater View library view could break navigation in certain cases.<br />
7. Fixed: Import of some OGG files could hang.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.125 (7/5/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved internal volume mode handling for television playback.<br />
2. Fixed: Right-click menu did not work properly for some analog television/video capture devices.<br />
3. Fixed: 'Volume Protection' could incorrectly reduce the volume when starting playback if the previous track was not stopped before starting the new play.<br />
4. Fixed: DVD aspect ratio could be incorrect.<br />
5. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).<br />
6. NEW: Added a video playback option to allow compensating for audio / video synchronization issues due to input lag, custom DSP processing, etc. (Options > Video > Advanced > A/V sync correction milliseconds).<br />
7. Fixed: Analyzing audio with multiple files at a time could lead to a hang.<br />
8. Fixed: Pressing TAB in an edit-style option could lead to unexpected results.<br />
9. Faster: Improved performance of core audio engine.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.124 (6/30/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: When controlling a DLNA device, if the device is turned off and later turned on, playback will resume. Allows picking a mix playlist and then turning a device on and off to control music without requiring additional user interaction.<br />
2. Fixed: Some complex expressions could fail to save properly in the recent list of the 'Rename, Move, & Copy Files...' dialog.<br />
3. Fixed: Options > Services listed YouTube playback bitrate twice.<br />
4. Changed: If video playback is stopped near the end of the file (within 4%), no bookmark is saved.<br />
5. Fixed: Theater View would not stay minimized properly when running external programs.<br />
6. Changed: Reduced the maximum allowable primary buffering for DirectSound, Kernel Streaming, WaveOut, and WASAPI from 5 seconds to 1 second (500ms or less is recommended).<br />
7. Fixed: Manufacturer name for JRService.exe was showing as "Unknown" in msconfig and other utilities for viewing services.<br />
8. Changed: The DLNA server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This allows URL's (like streaming radio) to be played on devices that support it (like WDTV).<br />
9. Changed: The TiVo server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This should allow mp3 URL's (like shoutcast) to be played. Needs testing.<br />
10. Changed: Improved internal volume mode handling for video and DVD playback.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.123 (6/29/2011)'''
<br />
The same as 16.0.122 (numbering error)<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.122 (6/29/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added handling of DTS-in-WAV files with a .wav extension so that they always get decoded instead of playing as noise (automatic decoding via LAV Audio hopefully coming soon).<br />
2. Changed: Better error messages when encountering problems with certain analog television devices.<br />
3. Faster: Faster video thumbnailing by about 35%.<br />
4. Changed: Improved Red October system used when playing audio-only files with Directshow filters.<br />
5. Faster: Faster video import by about 45%.<br />
6. Fixed: Thumbnailing could cause the desktop to flicker.<br />
7. Fixed: Rare crash when playing music while DLNA zones appeared and disappeared.<br />
8. Fixed: The level of redirected bass from Room Correction could be too low.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.121 (6/28/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Data file associations (like .exe) were being offered as possible capabilities in Windows File Type management, and would cause problems when associated with Media Center.<br />
2. Fixed: Switched Red October MPEG-2 decoding when not using the Microsoft decoder to libavcodec due to libmpeg2 crashes on TS files.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.120 (6/27/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Purity is a new stock skin (thanks to Cristian Arellano for his excellent work).<br />
2. NEW: The on screen display is drawn into madVR, making madVR exclusive mode work better.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Red October HQ to use madVR 0.66.<br />
4. Fixed: When starting video playback, the program could be unresponsive for about one second longer than necessary.<br />
5. Changed: Minor correction in Chinese language file.<br />
6. Fixed: Adding a file to a linked zone would unnecessarily resynchronize the zones to the beginning of the current song.<br />
7. Fixed: With analyze audio enabled in Auto-Import, shutdown could take longer than expected in some cases.<br />
8. Changed: Removed "Start digital television in time-shifting mode" option. Digital television will always start in time-shifting mode.<br />
9. Fixed: The file system tree in Import > Auto-Import > Add... did not use the correct skinning colors.<br />
10. NEW: Added Options > Theater View > Advanced > Turn off NumLock on load (useful for some remote keyboards where numlock causes troubles).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.119 (6/24/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When using Red October with additional filters, if a selected decoder will not connect, the standard Red October decoder will be used instead (previously playback would just fail).<br />
2. Fixed: DLNA Push to WDTV renderers wasn't working. Broken since build 16.0.15<br />
3. Changed: Right-click on a playing video always shows a 'Screen Grab' menu and when the commands aren't available (like with madVR, or when not paused with VMR), the menu contains an explanation.<br />
4. Changed: Removed DVD option for ffdshow post processing (you can instead use FFDShow Raw as an additional filter if this is desired).<br />
5. Fixed: If files were deleted from the database on a Library Server Client while a background library server sync was occurring, it could cause a crash.<br />
6. Changed: More efficient loading / unloading of Red October filters.<br />
7. Fixed: With Library Server authentication enabled, other copies of Media Center running on the network would not reliably discover the server.<br />
8. Faster Television seeking (applies to recorded and time-shifted playback).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.118 (6/23/2011)'''
<br />
1. SDK: The skinning engine supports selecting the view header background color when inactive by using ViewHeader::InactiveHeaderBackgroundColor in the skin.<br />
2. Changed: Bitrate monitor filters no longer show in the custom filter list (they are managed by Red October instead).<br />
3. Fixed: Time-shifted television playback did not honor advanced video filter selection.<br />
4. Changed: Moved the submenu arrow on a menu to the left a little so that it doesn't look crowded on skins with a rounded menu selection graphic.<br />
5. Fixed: The subwoofer controls could be disabled on DSP Studio > Output Format when using the new 2.1 output mode.<br />
6. Changed: MC16.exe /MCC accepts the parameter formatting [value]:[zone index] for easier multi-zone usage. (i.e. MC16.exe /MCC 10020, 25:2)<br />
7. Fixed: When switching input formats, the option to move the center channel to the front speakers could work incorrectly.<br />

7. Fixed: With the Media Network feature disabled in Options > General > Features, the Playing Now portion of the tree would not build correctly.<br />
8. Changed: Video positioning happens in the video playback graph thread instead of the main thread (guess as to madVR hanging issue; please report results).<br />
9. Changed: When using madVR, only YV12 color space output will be allowed (due to problems reported with NV12 color space converter in madVR).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.114 (6/17/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved high-precision display refresh rate monitoring in VideoClock so that it works better on multi-monitor systems, through hardware refresh rate changes, etc.<br />
2. Fixed: Red October preset had the ffdshow subtitle options hidden.<br />
3. Fixed: Red October preset was using the wrong ffdshow decoding thread count setting, resulting in reduced performance on some computers.<br />

2. Faster: Some optimizations to the J. River audio engine when used for video.<br />
3. Changed: The 2.1 mixing mode added to build 111 supports 'No mixing' mode better for 5.1 / 7.1 content (silences channels with no speakers attached).<br />
4. Fixed: Added file association "trp" so these video files will now play with Red October.<br />
5. Fixed: Downloading videos from YouTube would not get the title.<br />
6. NEW: Parametric equalizer supports Linkwitz Transform filters (used to extend the frequency response of a sealed subwoofer).<br />
7. Fixed: Bitstreaming of DTS-HD and TrueHD formats over HDMI was not working properly.<br />
8. Fixed: Some videos were displaying with the wrong aspect ratio in Red October mode on Windows XP.<br />

3. Faster: Loading or switching views in Theater View is faster.<br />
4. Fixed: Views imported into Theater View from Standard View where 'Populate tree' was off were not working nicely in Theater View.<br />
5. Fixed: The FPS field was marked as a user field.<br />
6. Fixed: Stopping playback after five or more minutes when using madVR could lead to a crash.<br />
7. Changed: Red October HQ uses madVR v0.65.<br />
8. Fixed: Stretching Media Center across three monitors could cause the titlebar to stop drawing properly.<br />
9. SDK: MCWS/v1/Alive includes the program name (i.e. 'J. River Media Center') in the response.<br />
10. Changed: When a single instance of MC is the DLNA server AND renderer, use the local database entry instead of the server provided URL. Greatly simplifies DLNA remote control of MC.<br />

12. Changed: Quicktime file types mov and qt default to DirectShow.<br />
13. Changed: Added documentation for the optional mode parameter of the Clean(...) expression function.<br />
14. Changed: LAV Audio is used as the default audio decoder for Red October Standard and Red October HQ (previously only used in HQ mode).<br />
15. Fixed: Resuming from sleep or doing Ctrl+Alt+Delete could leave Theater View showing a 'Failed to create' error (only applies to last few builds).<br />
16. NEW: Added 2.1 output mode to DSP Studio > Output Format (opens soundcard with 6 channels, and unused channels are silent).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.110 (6/10/2011)'''

2. Fixed: MIDI files could be categorized as video with build 108.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.108 (6/10/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Using volume up / down on a remote while the volume was disabled (bitstreaming, Netflix, etc.) and the volume was set to 'Internal' would result in the volume being set to 0%.<br />
2. NEW: Added 'Volume Protection' volume option ( more information here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=64574 ).<br />
3. Changed: Tuned JRSS 7.1 upmixing algorithm (better energy neutrality, and front mains are not used to generate the rears).<br />
4. Changed: Using 'Clone side channels to rear speakers' in Output Format will copy surrounds to the rear speakers in 5.1 to 7.1 mixing.<br />
5. Fixed: When connecting to a Library Server that required a password, the program could require clicking 'Retry' to finish the connection even if the entered password was correct.<br />
6. NEW: Parametric Equalizer's channel mixer allows applying a volume modification when moving, copying, or adding channels.<br />
7. Fixed: Video parameters were not retrieved from files during import or Update the Library (from tags).<br />
8. Changed: Updated to latest LAV Splitter and Audio decoders. Splitter is now internally configured (no more registry hacks).<br />
9. NEW: Reworked how bitstreaming is configured in Options > Video, and added support for picking individual formats to bitstream.<br />
10. Changed: Enhanced Video Renderer will be used for playback of Microsoft wtv or dvr-ms files.<br />
11. Fixed: Video thumbnailing did not work.<br />
12. Changed: Improved error messages for video playback. Should see fewer cases of the generic error: 0x80004005.<br />

2. Changed: Moved television subscription suspension options to the last page of the wizard.<br />
3. Fixed: In some cases, picking a different stream or subtitle option from the right-click menu while watching a video would fail.<br />
4. Changed: Red October HQ mode now uses the LAV audio decoder rather than ffdshow.<br />
5. Faster: Seeking video with the left / right buttons (remote or keyboard) is much smoother.<br />
6. Changed: Improved lip-sync when using ASIO, especially with large hardware buffer sizes.<br />
7. Changed: Red October HQ uses EVR instead of madVR (probably a temporary change).<br />
8. Changed: Theater View and Display View better handle resolution switches while they're running.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.106 (6/7/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Smartlists with both OR conditions and implied AND conditions would not work nicely with the smartlist editor. Example: ((a b) or (c d))<br />
2. Changed: Switched 'Red October' to 'Red October Standard' so that naming is more clear between Standard and HQ.<br />
3. Changed: When playback is started remotely (with Gizmo, etc.), popups requesting the installation of an external playback engine like QuickTime will be suppressed.<br />
4. Changed: When viewing a playlist using a library view, the order of the playlist will be preserved when possible in Theater View views.<br />
5. Changed: DLNA control. If GetVolume fails the volume control will be disabled instead of removing the renderer from the list of zones. This is to accomodate DLNA renderers that can't control volume when plugged into external AV equipment.<br />
6. Fixed: Files named with an .ogg extension are now handled just like .ogv files if they contain video. Previously they would not play.<br />
7. Changed: Updated to latest LAV splitter which better handles poorly muxed TS files.<br />
8. Changed: Red October will always use Microsoft DTV-DVD audio decoder for Microsoft file types WTV and DVR-MS.<br />
9. Changed: Added support for TTA audio files (plays using Directshow filters).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.105 (6/6/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Subtitles named "(auto)" that match the audio language will be enabled by default (instead of selecting no subtitles).<br />
2. Changed: Added the Microsoft MPEG audio and video decoders to the Red October white list.<br />
3. Fixed: If a video failed to import (because it was corrupt, etc.), it could cause other files of that type to not import until the program was restarted.<br />
4. Changed: When a video fails to fully parse, it's less likely to end up being imported as 'Data' instead of 'Video'.<br />
5. Fixed: Doing fast seeks on time-shifted television could cause the seeks to queue up instead of pooling, so that video would continue seeking too long after stopping pressing buttons on the remote.<br />
6. Changed: Mouse wheel over video seeks instead of zooms (use Ctrl+Wheel to zoom).<br />
7. Changed: LAV source/splitter is now configured in Red October mode.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.104 (6/6/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Red October HQ uses madVR v0.62.<br />
2. Fixed: MC crashed when right-clicking on a playing video and selecting ffdshow configuration. It's back to disabled in Red October mode.<br />
3. Fixed: madVR would fail to create a 3d device when starting time-shifted television from Theater View.<br />
4. Fixed: In Theater View, Netflix genre views were incorrectly using details list style instead of thumbnails.<br />
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (thanks to Junghwnan).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.103 (6/3/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved how VideoClock works with signal breakups on over-the-air broadcasts.<br />
2. Fixed: DSP Studio > Room Correction was using the incorrect channel order for the rear and surrounds with 8-channel output.<br />
3. NEW: Parametric Equalizer can be used to add a configurable delay to any channels.<br />
4. Changed (again): Red October will not use the Microsoft MPEG decoder with madVR because then no deinterlacing is performed for 1080i, etc. signals.<br />
5. Fixed: The 'My TV'. 'My Music', etc. buttons on an MCE remote were not working (note that renaming or moving the stock Theater View layout can break these buttons).<br />
6. NEW: When using the J. River audio engine for video playback, a fade-in is used after a seek (audibly more pleasant, and makes skipping commercials in television mostly silent).<br />
7. NEW: madVR video renderer is now part of the standard filter pack and is automatically installed when needed. It is used in Red October HQ mode.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.102 (6/2/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Subtitles would not work correctly with Red October when manually selecting 'ffdshow raw video filter'.<br />
2. Changed: Added support for the DirectVobSub post-processor filter with Red October.<br />
3. Fixed: Theater View backdrops from TheTVDB.com would not work properly for series with multiple database records where only one record was complete (like the Danish show Anstalten).<br />
4. Fixed: When using the LAV source / splitter, subtitles could incorrectly be on by default instead of honoring the settings in Options > Video.<br />
5. Changed: Added Red October support for .tivo file playback using the Tivo source filter.<br />
6. Changed: Renamed the J. River bitrate monitor filters to "J. River Audio Monitor" and "J. River Video Monitor".<br />
7. Changed: Theater View watch marks only appear for Netflix videos.<br />
8. Fixed: When using VideoClock, lip sync could take longer than necessary to achieve after a seek when doing PAL slowdown (especially if a large buffer size was used in the audio output plugin).<br />
9. NEW: Added the ability to move, copy, add, and swap channels to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer (use 'Mix channels' filter).<br />
10. Changed: Red October settings are applied to time-shifting on digital television.<br />
11. Changed: Parametric equalizer hides unneeded controls for a particular filter type instead of showing all controls and disabling some.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.101 (6/1/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Line 21 subtitles would be on by default instead of off by default with Red October (and the state reported by the menu or on screen display would be incorrect at first).<br />
2. Changed: Red October uses a less demanding deinterlacing method by default, which works better with laptops and older computers.<br />
3. NEW: Added 'Red October HQ' option that will use the highest quality settings available, but will only work nicely on a fast computer.<br />
4. Fixed: DVD playback was not working on many Windows XP computers.<br />
5. NEW: Red October HQ methods will default to madVR if it is installed on the system (except for DVD, since madVR doesn't currently support DVD nicely).<br />
6. Changed: Red October will use the Microsoft MPEG decoder with madVR now that current versions of madVR support the Microsoft decoder's output format.<br />
7. Fixed: JRSS downmixing was not working properly when resampling.<br />
8. Fixed: Using merit based filter selection was not working properly.<br />
9. Changed: Video renderer selection is automatic when using Red October, and the option is hidden when appropriate.<br />
10. Changed: Video options does not show per-file type filter selection with Red October on.<br />
11. Changed: Theater View watched marks were not working reliably for non-Netflix files.<br />
12. Changed: Theater View watch marks are only shown for videos longer than 20 minutes.<br />
13. Changed: Red October will use 'ffdshow raw video filter' as a post-processor if it's manually selected.<br />
14. Changed: Revised the wording on DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels to make it more clear that channel downmixing requires JRSS.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.100 (5/31/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Quickly switching videos could lead to a crash.<br />
2. Changed: When restoring an old library that does not contain settings, the program will succeed on the library restore (but of course not restore settings) instead of report a failure that required a user to uncheck the option to restore settings.<br />
3. Faster: Editing a field of the type 'Large Value' (like lyrics) for a large number of files is much faster.<br />
4. Fixed: Editing a huge number of files where all tagging would fail (due to a disconnected drive, etc.) could cause a memory leak.<br />
5. Changed: Editing a large number of files uses less memory.<br />
6. Fixed: Red October video playback would crash on some mpeg files, especially on Windows XP when ffdshow was configured to decode mpeg with libmpeg2 (now using libavcodec).<br />
7. Changed: Updated to latest LAV splitter (.28) which better handles MTS files.<br />
8. NEW: EXIF GPS information for latitude and longitude is read more completely (right-click > Update Library from Tags to fill existing files).<br />
9. NEW: Added right-click image option "Locate on Google Maps" (only appears for images that contain GPS information in the Latitude and Longitude fields).<br />
10. Changed: When possible, video stream selection is made before DirectShow graph is built.<br />
11. Changed: When viewing a playlist of images and videos, the word 'Stop' will no longer appear on the on screen display when transitioning from one to the other.<br />
12. Fixed: VC-1 files (e.g. Blu-Ray MKV's) wouldn't play on many WinXP systems.<br />
13. Changed: Use ffdshow for mpeg-1 decoding rather than using Microsoft. Seems to be higher quality.<br />
14. Changed: When a video starts, the background only shows 'Opening...', etc. if the video takes longer than a second to start playing, making for a smoother visual transition between videos.<br />
15. Changed: DirectShow graph building mode option added to Options/Video page replacing the two Red October checkboxes with a single three state drop box.<br />
16. Fixed: Smartlists could fail to show choices that were logical when the smartlist contained OR conditions or list-type fields.<br />
17. Changed: Red October will attempt to use Power DVD video decoders 9, 10, or 11 if installed on Windows XP where there is no system DVD video decoder.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.99 (5/27/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: With Red October turned off, DirectShow graph building is back to the Merit based "smart" rendering style using user selected custom filters.<br />
2. Changed: New option "Use additional custom filters for Red October" under the Red October checkbox in Options/Video. (Whitelist)<br />
3. Changed: Added ffdshow raw video, CoreAVC, and PowerDVD 10 video decoders to whitelist.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.98 (5/26/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added LAV-CUVID and Power DVD 11 video decoders to the white list.<br />

<br /><br>'''16.0.97 (5/25/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: During video playback, the channel headroom was not being provided to Room Correction, so the total output level could be lower than necessary.<br />
2. Fixed: AC3 was appearing twice in File Types.<br />
3. Faster: JRSS down-mix processing is 245% faster (i.e. 5.1 to 2.0, etc.).<br />
4. Fixed: Navigating in Theater View could crash when skipping multiple browse levels that only contained a single choice.<br />
5. Fixed: When scanning for television channels, the new channels would show in 'Recently Imported'.<br />
6. Fixed: Shutting down the program could be unnecessarily stalled for a second by the remote control engine.<br />
7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
8. Changed: Added the ability to add a 'Mute' filter to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer.<br />
9. Changed: With Red October off, user selected audio or video decoders will be used (if a decoder you would like to use does not get used, please report the filter details -- support is currently done on a white-list basis).<br />
10. Changed: With Red October off, when ffdshow is manually selected as a decoder for a file type, auto-configuration of ffdshow will be disabled.<br />
11. Changed: Microsoft's "Stream Buffer Source" filter is used to render dvr-ms and wtv files.<br />
12. Changed: Updated to latest LAV splitter (.27) which better handles TS files.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.96 (5/24/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: When JRSS mixed from 5.1 or 7.1 to 4.0 or lower, the subwoofer level could be too low (now respects the option 'Source is correctly mastered for +10 dB calibration').<br />
2. Fixed: Videos with low sample rates could fail to play if the sound card did not support a low sample rate (DSP Studio > Output Format is now automatically configured if necessary).<br />
3. Changed: Removed skinning from system Font dialog because skinning doesn't nicely support all of the controls used by the dialog on some versions of Windows.<br />
4. Fixed: DLNA Servers would expose a new ID each run until they were configured once.<br />
5. Changed: Red October now sets the "threadsnum" parameter for ffdshow to 4.<br />
6. NEW: "FPS" (frame rate) field for video, filled in during import time.<br />
7. Changed: Tuned how MC16.exe /MonitorToggle works so that it should work with more configurations.<br />
8. Changed: Allow DLNA server to serve unconverted streaming content.<br />
9. Fixed: WMV files that contained video that the system Windows Media video decoder filter did not support would not work properly with Red October.<br />
10. Changed: Red October subtitle handling is improved.<br />
11. Fixed: Toggling in and out of Theater View could be problematic.<br />
12. Changed: Android video conversion now uses the Red October system.<br />
13. NEW: Media Center adds itself to the 'Default programs' list on Vista and Windows 7.<br />
14. Fixed: At system shutdown time, Media Center could hold up the shutdown because it was trying to communicate with the Service which was already shut down.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.95 (5/20/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: WOL for WAN hosts and fixed to handle multiple interfaces properly.<br />
2. Changed: Red October will use PowerDVD 9 when available for video decoding on systems where the Microsoft decoders are not available (normally XP systems).<br />
3. Changed: Updated to new version of ffdshow (ffdshow_rev3850_20110511_xhmikosr_MSVC2010.exe).<br />
4. Fixed: VMR 9 was not working nicely with DVD.<br />
5. Changed: Removed the option DSP Studio > Output Format option 'Something outside Media Center will make the subwoofer +10 dB (standard calibration)'. All level calibration should be done using Room Correction.<br />
6. Changed: Room Correction allows setting levels from -20dB to +20dB (previously it had a range of -12dB to +12dB).<br />
7. NEW: The Output Format and Room Correction systems work together better to track the available headroom in each audio channel so that unnecessary attenuation is never performed.<br />
8. Fixed: DSP Studio > Room Correction would unnecessarily attenuate all channels when they all had negative volume levels (only the relative differences should matter).<br />
9. Changed: Library and playlist views do not show a playing overlay on a thumbnail when it's the active playback file but playback is stopped (or else the green play overlay causes confusion with the 'Play' text link).<br />
10. Changed: Tuned the slow double click mechanism for in-place list editing so that a fast double-click that just misses being a double-click won't start editing.<br />
11. Fixed: Thumbnailing and analyzing of video files now works with Red October.<br />
12. Changed: Enabled more subtitle options in Red October mode, hopefully they improve subtitle activation.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.94 (5/19/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Video volume normalization did not work nicely with VideoClock enabled.<br />
2. Changed: Updated ffdshow download to "rev3832 Apr 29 2011 ICL 12"<br />
3. Fixed: Video playback of files with AC3 audio (HDTV, DVD, etc.) could make goose honking noises on seek.<br />
4. Fixed: With VideoClock enabled, if the video took more than a couple seconds to start, the lip sync would take longer than expected to lock on.<br />
5. Changed: Red October will not use madVR for DVD.<br />
6. Changed: Turned off ffdshow tray icon in auto config mode.<br />
7. Fixed: The direct show connection info now reports the correct filename path for filters when using auto config.<br />
8. Changed: Improved the support of WMV files with Red October.<br />
9. Fixed: Starting TS playback with a bookmark saved could be problematic when using Red October.<br />
10. Changed: Theater View theme video backgrounds use Red October.<br />
11. NEW: Video audio volume normalization considers the video type being played so that it can make better decisions about the levels.<br />
12. Fixed: MC crashed in some cases when playing videos with Red October turned off.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.93 (5/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Television time-shifting filters will now properly handle channel switching that involves audio format changes (from AC3 to MPEG and vice versa).<br />
2. NEW: Added support for .ac3 audio files.<br />
3. Fixed: Mpeg-1 video from a URL was not playing in auto config mode.<br />
4. Fixed: The volume control was not updating properly to connect to the proper sound card for video playback.<br />
5. Fixed: When the audio stream format changes in the middle of a video, the volume control would not be updated to reflect the bitstreaming status.<br />
6. NEW: DVD playback uses the new video graph building system.<br />
7. NEW: Added Options > Video > Audio for Video, DVD, & Television > Normalize volume.<br />
8. Changed: Properties for ffdshow audio/video decoders can no longer be shown when in auto config mode. Previously this caused a crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.92 (5/18/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: In some cases, an existing installation of ffdshow could cause video playback to fail.<br />
2. Fixed: On XP systems, if VMR 9 was not available, video playback would fail.<br />
3. Changed: Internal changes to how video playback is configured and played.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.91 (5/17/2011)'''
<br />
1. NEW: When in Red October automatic config mode for DirectShow video playback, all filters are now directly connected instead of using "smart" connection.<br />
2. NEW: When in Red October automatic config mode for DirectShow, known safe filters are loaded explicitly instead of using filters registered on the system.<br />
3. Fixed: DLNA playback was unnecessarily causing conversion stacks to be created for non-MP3 file types.<br />
4. Fixed: When controlling a DLNA device, Last.fm Scrobbling could trigger twice if the playback server was the same as the controlling machine.<br />
5. Fixed: The location text used by Theater View skins was not updating correctly in some cases when using the new Theater View navigation components.<br />
6. Changed: Updated the default Theater View theme to match the new Theater View layout.<br />
7. NEW: Theater View theme images that are downloaded are cached between runs (previously it used a runtime only cache).<br />
8. Fixed: Tivo music playback wasn't working with conversion enabled.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.90 (5/13/2011)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Possible crash in 16.0.89 related to querying output plugins for their bitstreaming status.<br />

2. Fixed: Possible thread and memory leak after stopping playback that was converting the output to AC3.<br />
3. Fixed: If the program crashed while recording a television program in the last five minutes and was restarted, recording would not resume if 'Do not record programs that have been recorded in the past' was set for the recording rule.<br />
4. Fixed: In rare cases, the program could start maximized with only part of the window visible.<br />
5. Fixed: The WAV encoder would use the .wav extension instead of .l16 when creating a headerless L16 for use on a DLNA device.<br />

<br /><br>'''16.0.34 (2/16/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When the program had many programs in the television programming guide (hundreds of thousands), the program could slow down.<br />
2. SDK: The MCWS Browse/Files function will return success with zero files on an empty item instead of returning a failure.<br />
3. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).<br />
4. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks to KANEY).<br />

11. Changed: madVR runs in the graph thread instead of the main program thread.<br />
12. Changed: When loading television programming, entries for programs older than 3 days will be discarded (previously 14 days of old programming were kept, but a smaller number helps performance).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.33'''

2. Fixed: madVR could hang with build 28 (hopefully fixed, please let us know).<br />
3. Fixed: Video playback could leave some filters loaded after playback was stopped.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.28 (2/10/2011)'''
<br />

<br /><br>'''16.0.26 (2/8/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: During image playback, the image edges have a subtle fade-out to make a smoother looking Pan & Zoom effect, and also to remove edge sparkle that can occur with some video drivers.<br />
2. Changed: When grabbing the volume or position slider on the player at the top of fullscreen Display View, the player will not be hidden when the mouse leaves the window until the grab is released.<br />
3. Changed: Renamed video smoothing feature in Options > Video to 'VideoClock (smooths video by adjusting audio)'.<br />

1. NEW: The browsing tree exposed to Gizmo or a DLNA device will update when the library changes (previously a restart of the server was required to see new or changed content).<br />
2. Changed: When Play Doctor includes Last.fm tracks, it will put placeholder items in the list that will get substituted at playback time (because Last.fm tracks expire).<br />
3. NEW: Netflix thumbnail and list views in Theater View now report whether titles have been "instant viewed" before and detail view shows the date and percentage of last viewing if file info panel is reset.<br />
4. Fixed: Video conversion setting under Library Server did not "stick".<br />
5. Changed: If a user customizes the temporary folder in Options > File Location, it will use that folder for all temporary files (previously the customized folder was only used in a few specific areas of the program).<br />
6. NEW: Playback from Gizmo will update playback statistics and Scrobbles (requires updated Gizmo).<br />
7. NEW: Playback on a DLNA device like the J. River Id, PS3, etc. will Scrobble the play when Last.fm Scrobbling is enabled on the server.<br />
8. SDK: Updated SDK MJPlaybackAutomation object to better support DLNA or Library Server zones.<br />
9. NEW: Add DLNA version 2 support. Check for problems with version 1.x devices (most devices).<br />
10. Fixed: Remove extra nulls from POST body in DLNA control.<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.22 (2/2/2011)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Refined how some Quicktime file types are routed to different playback engines. Fixes mixed m4a, mp3 playback issues.<br />
2. Changed: Reduced to one the number of UAC prompts that pop up when video conversion is performed for the first time.<br />
3. Fixed: There was no progress message when downloading and installing DirectShow filters for m4a files.<br />
4. NEW: DSP plugins can report their internal latency, providing better audio quality when doing audio rate adjustment during video playback.<br />
5. NEW: Last.fm submitter maintains a queue of submissions instead of a single submission so when there's no internet or Last.fm is having problems, there is no performance impact on the program and Scrobbles don't get dropped.<br />
6. Changed: When auto-import folder watching encounters problems, it tries to reopen watches a few times and then gives up if there are continued errors (hopefully fixes issue when resuming from standby while watching certain network shares).<br />
<br /><br>'''16.0.21 (2/1/2011)'''

8. Changed: Added 'Add Library...' item to libraries in tree so a library can be added without a right-click.<br />
9. Changed: When adding a library, the dialog asks for a library name.<br />
10. Changed: After a server receives changes from a client, it starts any necessary background file tagging (previously only happened on UI interaction).<br />

9. Fixed: DLNA server, was crashing on WDTV when "present subtitle resources is set". Note the WDTV still won't display subtitles on non-transcoded video files.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.113 (9/16/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Filename searches could be unreliable (only applies to build 112).<br />
2. Fixed: When using gapped playback modes, a little burst of the previous song could sometimes be heard after the silence.<br />
3. Changed: Improved lip-sync of video when using 'Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) [event style]' output.<br />
4. Fixed: In some cases, at the end of a video started from Theater View, the program could return to Standard View instead.<br />

<br /><br>'''15.0.112 (9/15/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Wikipedia information is now used for albums and artists in Performer store.<br />
2. SDK: When MCWS (web service) functions return MPL, they include the file key for each file using the XML name "Key".<br />

4. Faster: The television engine could cause slowdowns when dealing with subscriptions configured to skip previously deleted programs.<br />
5. Faster: The TVInfo(...) expression functions are faster.<br />
6. Fixed: The Counter(...) expression function would start at zero instead of one when no start index was specified.<br />
7. Changed: 'Expression' type categories in Panes views treat backslashes as nesting (so expressions can create dynamic browse trees).<br />
8. Fixed: Editing the name of an expression column did not show in the column header until leaving and returning to a view.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.111 (9/15/2010)'''

7. Changed: When scanning for television channels, MC uses and updates existing channels with matching channel names, instead of creating new channels, in case the channel parameters change. The change applies to DVB-T channels as ATSC channels already behave this way.<br />
8. Changed: DLNA server mimetypes. The last several builds may have prevented playback of previously playable video files. Need feedback!<br />
9. Changed: Added MPEG video override for weird DLNA TV's that always want video/mpeg mimetype regardless of the file type. This has been separated from the DLNAExtra flag so if you need this you'll have to check the new option.<br />

10. Changed: Ogg and flac tags map database PUBLISHER to ORGANIZATION, database ORGANIZATION (if existing) to JR_ORGANIZATION, and if there's an ALBUM ARTIST write it out as both ALBUM ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST. Read either, ALBUM ARTIST preferentially.<br />
11. Changed: (internal) streamlined a bunch of code in the flac input plugin.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.98 (8/17/2010)'''
<br />

6. Changed: Updated all translation files to include latest language from the source code.<br />
7. Fixed: Revised WMA shutdown sequence to possibly fix stalling on stop of certain web media streams.<br />
8. Fixed: Television recordings in non-jtv format could not be deleted from disk.<br />
9. NEW: Added 'Gapped Fade' switch tracks mode (fades out previous track, plays a little silence, then starts new track).<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.94 (8/11/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: When playback fails, the player will see if configuring the Output Format DSP could fix the failure, and if so, it will offer to automatically make the adjustments.<br />
2. Fixed: The 'Help' button on the 'File Types' options dialog went to the wrong topic.<br />
3. Optimized: Reworked ASIO pipeline to improve buffer fill performance and remove any thread locking -- fill callback over 15% faster on a multi-core system, more on a single-core system.<br />
4. Changed: Process memory cleanup performed when switching views or minimizing the program could cause a playback hiccup with some audio hardware (cleanup no longer done while playing).<br />
5. NEW: Netflix in Theater View "Connected Media" now shows individual TV shows from a season disc rather than one entry for the entire season.<br />
6. Fixed: If MC is scheduled to record a television program with extended end time that is more than 5 minutes beyond the program end time, the next program could not be scheduled to be recorded.<br />
7. Fixed: Ogg tagging fixes. Wasn't reading REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN properly and wasn't writing the mapped tags properly.<br />
8. Changed: Ogg and FLAC tag writing does DISCNUMBER instead of DISC #, on writing, if DISC # exists, it's deleted. On reading if DISCNUMBER doesn't exist we look for DISC# (as well as the MEDIAJUKEBOX: variants).<br />
9. NEW: Added ability to dither output when outputting 8-bit or 16-bit data (selectable in DSP Studio > Output Format > Bitdepth).<br />
10. Changed: MC no longer requires the presence of "Recording Rule ID" tag in a video file to treat it as a television recording. MC now requires Genre field to be filled with "TV Recordings" for a video to be considered recorded television show.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.93 (8/9/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: MC would crash as a Library Server client when user tried to cancel a television subscription recording (build 92 only).<br />
2. Changed: Saving and loading of VST plugin settings and presets works nicely with more plugins like Span, Console, or other chunk-based setting plugins.<br />
3. Changed: Camera enumeration used by Action Window > Camera does enumeration in a low priority background thread so devices that are slow to enumerate do not cause the user interface to be unresponsive.<br />
4. Changed: If the WIA subsystem has a critical failure when enumerating cameras, it will not be used again for the remainder of the program run.<br />
5. Changed: Ogg tags. Incorporate JR_DATE precision date if the date is not just a year.<br />
6. Fixed: Ogg replay gain was set from the tags even if it didn't exist.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.92 (8/6/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: When zooming into a file in Theater View, the title is shown on the top roller to remove unneeded visual noise from file views.<br />
2. Fixed: When playing a mono file with DSP Studio > Output Format set to 'No mixing', mono could still get mixed to stereo.<br />
3. Changed: Added support for m4a and ogg files when connecting to a DLNA serverp.<br />
4. Changed: When connecting to a DLNA server, more fields are retrieved (track #, etc.).<br />
5. Changed: When acting as a DLNA server, if the automatic album artist is '(Multiple Artists)', this will be provided to clients connecting to the server.<br />
6. NEW: Television recordings can now be scheduled on a Library Server client, and the actual recording will happen on the Library Server.<br />
7. Changed: If a user does not explicitly pick a channel output mode with DSP Studio > Output Format, mono will automatically be output as two channel mono (can still force one channel output by enabling and configuring Output Format DSP).<br />
8. Changed: Improved energy preservation math in Room Correction bass redirection system.<br />
9. NEW: DLNA Controller will work without the DLNA server enabled. This means you can load a library (read DLNA server) and direct the output to a DLNA renderer with MC doing the controlling.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.91 (8/5/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Room Correction no longer considers channels with no data (because of 2.1 mixing) when calculating the maximum possible gain.<br />
2. Fixed: After snapping the program to the edge of the screen, a single-click of the titlebar would unsnap it.<br />
3. Changed: Snapping to the edges of the screen only happens if the mouse is stopped near the edge for a little delay, so dragging quickly between screens won't cause the program to jump around.<br />
4. Changed: When connected to a Library Server, zones from the server will not appear as DLNA zones if they're also "There: " zones.<br />
5. Changed: Library Server zones will get the same zone ID each connection so that settings like zone link timing persist between runs.<br />
6. Fixed: After loading a different library, the Media Network engine (servers, DLNA control, etc.) would not be restarted automatically.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.90 (8/4/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Reworked zone presentation so that they are more hidden until there is more than one zone.<br />
2. Changed: High resolution tooltips use Media Server client conversion settings, making display of RAW or other large images much faster (enable conversion in Options > Media Network).<br />
3. Fixed: Right-clicking a non-active zone and picking 'DSP Studio...' or 'Playback Options...' would show dialogs for the current zone instead of the clicked zone.<br />
4. Changed: DSP Studio shows a zone name instead of a zone ID in the titlebar.<br />
5. Changed: When linking zones, if only one is playing, whatever is playing will begin playback in both zones.<br />
6. NEW: When linking zones, if both are playing, a dialog will ask what zone to keep playing from.<br />
7. Fixed: Zone linking could lose sync at track boundaries (only applies to build 88 and 89).<br />
8. Fixed: When first linking two zones, the master zone would not update its playback settings to not suppress silence until switching to the next track.<br />
9. Fixed: When linked zones drifted apart, they would not always be restarted after stopping them when the current track finished.<br />
10. Fixed: Theater View did not work nicely on a touch screen where a mouse move was not simulated before a click.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.89 (8/3/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).<br />
2. Fixed: Removing a pane when another pane already had a selection could cause a crash.<br />
3. Changed: When adjusting the timing of linked zones, a sync will happen after no changes are made to the slider for 2 seconds (was previously 1 second).<br />
4. Changed: Visualization Studio is available again for 2D visualizations.<br />
5. NEW: Chapters support for audio played in DirectShow.<br />
6. Changed: OGG tags: Write new style replay gain and peak level tags with +-6db adjustment from MC's internal values. When writing the new tags, removes any old style tags. When reading tags and new style doesn't exist, uses the old style tags.<br />
7. Changed: Scrolling a list with the mouse wheel without moving the cursor would not properly show tooltips when scrolling stopped.<br />
8. Changed: Loading of high-resolution image tooltips is better threaded to avoid lags while an image loads.<br />
9. Faster: Loading of PSD files is many times faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.88 (8/2/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Spectrum analyzer visualizations did not move.<br />
2. Fixed: The time was not appearing at the root of Theater View.<br />
3. Fixed: The program would allow a user to delete all zones, causing a crash.<br />
4. Fixed: It is no longer possible to delete a DLNA or Library Server zone. (use Options > Media Network to configure if remote zones should appear)<br />
5. Changed: Added Options > General > Advanced > Reset saved Internet passwords... to allow clearing any stored internet passwords.<br />
6. NEW: A new password dialog is shown when connecting to protected sites or Library Servers. Choosing 'Save password' will save the password between runs (previously it asked once each run for the password).<br />
7. Fixed: Connecting to a Library Server from behind a passworded proxy did not always work nicely.<br />
8. Changed: When downloading a resource in the background (Podcasting, Online Slideshow, etc.) URLs that require passwords will silently fail instead of showing password prompts.<br />
9. Changed: The dialog for adjusting link timing is wider and has a smaller range (-2 seconds to +2 seconds) to allow easier control.<br />
10. Fixed: When stopping linked zones, they could restart again.<br />
11. Changed: Previous / Next commands work properly with linked zones.<br />
12. Changed: When syncing linked zones, if any of the zones in the link are remote the delay before resuming is longer so that the remote zone has a chance to do any prebuffering.<br />
13. Changed: When first creating a zone link, a DLNA zone from another Media Center could stay paused instead of starting playback.<br />
14. Changed: When using linked zones, if any of the zones are remote, playback stops after each file and then starts up again in a few seconds (since controlling cross-fading, etc. isn't possible with remote zones).<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.87 (7/30/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Television recordings in transport stream format did not show up in Television > Recordings views.<br />
2. Changed: When playing to linked zones, playback statistics are no longer counted multiple times.<br />
3. Changed: When zones are linked, the between tracks and seek modes will inherit from the first zone in the link.<br />
4. Changed: Leading and trailing silence suppression is disabled when zones are linked, as the amount of trailing silence removed can vary slightly based on buffer states, making it cause sync problems.<br />
5. Changed: Seeking in linked zones works more reliably.<br />
6. NEW: Linked zones monitor drift and if too much drift occurs, playback is stopped at the end of the current file and then the next track is started in sync. (a user can force a manual sync any time by pausing playback)<br />
7. Changed: MCWS Control/Key function supports key combinations like Ctrl;C, Ctrl;Shift;Left, etc.<br />
8. Fixed: After the initial setting of the values of audio jump behavior (number of seconds to jump forward or backward), subsequent changes were ignored.<br />
9. Changed: Added 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, and 55 seconds choices to audio and video jump behavior selection.<br />
10. Faster: Core speed improvements that can make loading views or working with the database a few percent faster.<br />

<br />
1. NEW: Added webservice functions for remote controlling the program: Control/MCC, Control/CommandLine, Control/Key.<br />
2. Changed: Options > Audio > Alternate Mode Settings has option 'Use these alternate settings (use Alt+M to toggle)'; no longer appears in menus.<br />
3. Changed: Removed 'Zone Manager'; all zone configuration can be done from Menu > Player > Zones or directly in the tree with right-clicks.<br />
4. Changed: When linking a zone to another zone, the zone being linked in will automatically start playing the same output as the other zones in the link.<br />
5. Fixed: In place editing would get disrupted if an update message caused the display to be redrawn (from ripping, importing, etc.).<br />
6. Changed: Disabling of DirectShow filter tray icons (FFDShow and Haali) is now optional. The option is under Startup.<br />
7. Changed: Removed 'Find CD' and 'Artist Info' and merged them into the links bar. (sorry, links storage format has been reset and user customization must be redone)<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.85 (7/28/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Linked zones work better with DLNA devices.<br />
2. Changed: DLNA zones have the same ID each run of the program so settings like link timing persist nicely.<br />
3. Fixed: When playing to linked zones, one or more of the zones in the link could remain paused.<br />
4. Changed: Playing files directly from Playing Now now syncs when using linked zones.<br />
5. Changed: Recording digital television programs in transport stream format will not include unwanted subchannels.<br />
6. Changed: Worked on improving right-click menu for Playing Now zones in the tree (still in progress).<br />
7. Changed: Zone links have a unique icon in the tree.<br />
8. Changed: Zones can be renamed in the tree (F2 / right-click rename).<br />

6. Fixed: Netflix metadata was not getting retrieved.<br />
7. Changed: Theater View online media slideshow images are cropped to fill the entire screen instead of top-left aligned with all image borders visible.<br />
8. Fixed: Main toolbars weren't supporting glass-based skins (only applies to last couple builds).<br />
9. Fixed: Image pan & zoom could move in notches at small sizes.<br />
10. Changed: Theater View location text used in skinning no longer includes roller selection.<br />
11. Changed: Submitting track information to YADB runs in a background thread with progress in the Action Window (previously it would block the program).<br />
12. Changed: Collapsing a library tree item with a child item selected no longer changes the selection to the parent.<br />
13. Changed: Revised layout of zones in under Playing Now in tree.<br />
14. Changed: Drag-n-drop of zones in the tree can be used to link and unlink zones.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.82 (7/23/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Build 81 would report the trial had expired right after a fresh install.<br />
2. Fixed: In some cases, the Playing Now 'List' selection would not track the playing file.<br />
3. Changed: Updated Theater View online media slideshow to support newer Google images layout.<br />
4. Changed: Tuned how Theater View reader-style lists work with single line items so that they're not expandable.<br />
5. Fixed: Expanding a Comedy Central joke in Theater View would show no text.<br />
6. NEW: Hardware accelerated image playback uses mipmapping to eliminate aliasing during pan & zoom, etc. (uses hardware accelerated mipmap generation when possible)<br />
7. Fixed: J. River URL Reader filter's buffering was too aggressive.<br />
8. Fixed: FreeDB CD lookups could truncate some disc & track titles - especially long classical titles.<br />
<br /><br>'''15.0.81 (7/22/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Playback jump behavior (Jump forward 30 seconds, backward 10 seconds) is now configurable. The amount of jump is can be configured separately for forward jump and backward jump. Audio and video are configured separately.<br />

12. Fixed: Television recordings ("jtv") sometimes were imported as Data and sidecar files were not created.<br />
13. NEW: Bass Management redirection does energy preserving accumulation of redirected bass so the total dB level, assuming a calibrated system, will be unchanged from redirection.<br />
14. NEW: Reworked Output Format DSP for nicer bass configuration.<br />
15. NEW: Room Correction DSP has a clip prevention stage, so no user settings will create clipping. (i.e. turning up a single channel will turn other channels down)<br />
16. Changed: Some DirectShow audio and video files will have less chance of being imported as Data.<br />
17. Fixed: DLNA video conversion caching was not working properly.<br />
18. Fixed: An image slideshow could crash.<br />

<br /><br>'''15.0.74 (7/12/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: By default JRSS and Bass Management will use 48 dB/octave cross-overs for the LFE / subwoofer.<br />
2. NEW: Bass Management in Output Format DSP allows selection of cross-over slopes per channel (independently configurable slopes for speaker and redirected bass).<br />
3. Faster: Improved performance of Tempo & Pitch DSP plugin.<br />
4. Fixed: A DSP plugin that worked in chunks (instead of continuously) could cause playback stutters. (applies to included Tempo & Pitch plugin)<br />
5. Changed: The confirmation about deleting disk files when removing cover art offers a cancel button.<br />
6. Fixed: Cover View would incorrectly show a maximize / restore button in the popup player at the top of the screen.<br />
7. Changed: WebPlay does no video conversion, so only videos supported natively by the device being used can be played (may change if a compatible streaming encoding format can be found).<br />

7. Changed: When Playing Now is empty, the double-click to play action will shuffle all files instead of playing them in sorted order.<br />
8. Changed: 'Start' is no longer listed in the tree although the program will, by default, still start at the view (can be customized in Options > Startup).<br />
9. Changed: Pressing F11 will no longer include Cover View in the cycle of views.<br />
10. Changed: Cover View is considered a 'user input mode' like Standard View and Mini View so that returning from Theater View, closing Display View with escape, etc. will return to Cover View instead of Standard View.<br />
11. Changed: The into links on a category thumbnail did not show the hand / link cursor when the mouse was over them.<br />
12. Changed: Increased time-shifting reader filter's video buffer size. This should fix the television time-shifting error when Microsoft video decoder is used.<br />
13. Fixed: When Playing Now displayed "no search results" because a search returned nothing, double-clicking the list would play everything.<br />
14. Fixed: WebPlay audio conversion was not working with an iPhone, iTouch, etc.<br />

4. Changed: A confirmation is shown when doing an 'Unstack' command on more than one stacked file (has 'Don't show this message again' box).<br />
5. Changed: Auto-import will attempt to silently reconnect to any disconnected network drives before flagging a file as 'missing'.<br />
6. Fixed: Ripping could show an 'Unknown encoder error' in rare cases. (hopefully fixed, feedback appreciated)<br />
7. Changed: When viewing a file grouping, the 'Date Imported' will show the most recent import date of any file in the group instead of the average import date.<br />
8. Changed: Added the 'Add View' command back to the tree right-click menu for a library view.<br />
9. Changed: Putting the system to sleep will not stop playback automatically. (system will still allow a manual deep sleep (S3) while playing, but Media Center will prevent an automatic sleep)<br />
10. Fixed: Some types of searches would not preserve the sequence number properly.<br />
11. Changed: The 'Rename, Move & Copy Files' dialog auto-sizes columns on load and resize.<br />
12. Changed: DLNA, Advanced options. If "present subtitle resources" is not checked subtitle resources will not be presented in the Content Directory under ANY condition, even if explicitly asked for. Prevents hard resets on some renderers.<br />

7. Fixed: last.fm plugin was not installing properly.<br />
8. Optimized: Improved performance of some core libraries.<br />
9. Fixed: MPC input plugin was linking in unused code, making it larger than it needed to be.<br />
10. Changed: When restoring settings in a library backup, the program attempts to switch paths targeting old versions to the current version. (if you have already restored a v14 library to v15, you should manually clean up paths pointing to Media Center 14 by using regedit and searching / replacing here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\J. River\Media Center 15)<br />
11. Fixed: If DirectShow DSP property pages were already showing in DSP studio when playback started, the pages appeared to be inactive, until DSP studio was closed and reopened.<br />

<br />
1. NEW: J. River URL Reader filter that helps playing video from the Internet.<br />
2. NEW: Numerous improvements and refinements to the appearance of the default WebRemote template.<br />
3. Fixed: Kernel Streaming didn't show friendly names for devices when running under UAC.<br />
4. Fixed: International characters were not being properly supported when browsing the library with WebRemote.<br />

3. Changed: Added support for [App Version] keyword when customizing the display at the top of the program.<br />
4. Changed: Purchases done through this version (and newer) will receive a Media Center 15 license.<br />
5. Changed: DVD audio/video decoder enumeration is done in JRWorker so that bad filters can not cause crashes.<br />
6. Changed: DSP Studio > Room Correction only applies distance based attenuation across matched speaker sets (phasing correction is still applied across all speakers in play).<br />
7. Changed: Improved J. River Audio Renderer clocking method to improve lip-sync.<br />
8. Fixed: Netflix feature could fail to authorize user if the computer's clock was off quite a bit.<br />
9. Fixed: If WAV tagging was disabled (the default), setting cover art to the WAV files could still result in the database incorrectly switching the image field to "Inside File".<br />
10. Fixed: Playing an MP3 from a server could make an unnecessary head request back to the server once a second. <br />
<br>
<br>
<br>
==Media Center 14==

<br /><br>'''14.0.163 (4/28/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: System playlists like 'Top Hits', 'Recently Imported', etc. are translated at display time so changing languages updates the language on the fly. (as a result, names are no longer user editable)<br />
2. Fixed: Pasting multiple files from Explorer to the cover art of files could cause a crash.<br />

<br /><br>'''14.0.162 (04/09/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Doing multiple simultaneous external conversions at once could cause a hang. This is a big change that could affect other parts of MC. Need feedback.<br />

6. Changed: DLNA reports more accurate (based on codec if possible) video for WMC compatible (xbox 360) profiles. (requires updating library from tags for video files).<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.155 (03/03/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Improved J. River Audio Renderer clocking method to improve lip-sync.<br />

<br /><br>'''14.0.154 (03/02/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Added support for [App Version] keyword when customizing the display at the top of the program.<br />
2. Changed: [internal change]<br />
3. Changed: DVD audio/video decoder enumeration is done in JRWorker so that bad filters can not cause crashes.<br />
4. Changed: DSP Studio > Room Correction only applies distance based attenuation across matched speaker sets (phasing correction is still applied across all speakers in play).<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.153 (03/01/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added jump on play option "Theater View Playing Now" so playing from Standard View will show Theater View. Under General/Behavior.<br />
2. Fixed: Right-clicking television playback and selecting "Select Filters..." could crash.<br />
3. Changed: Playback will no longer attempt to support files that report a sample rate less than 0 or greater than one million (corrupt files could cause crashes).<br />
4. Fixed: The rollup state of playlist and podcast view headers was not being saved between view switches and program runs.<br />
5. Fixed: On a fresh install, a 'Default' library entry would not get created in Library Manager, making it difficult to switch back to the default library after loading a different library.<br />
6. Fixed: Zone settings for obsolete zones (like DLNA devices that have been disconnected, etc.) could accumulate in options.<br />
7. Fixed: When looping through a list during in-place editing, the column headers could become mis-aligned with the columns.<br />
8. NEW: Added DSP Studio > Output Format option "For stereo sources, only mix to 2.1".<br />

<br /><br>'''14.0.152 (02/26/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Ripped DVD's can be streamed to DLNA renderers .<br />
2. Fixed: Seeking using the J. River audio renderer could cause a crash.<br />
3. Fixed: MC could fail to play a DVD using FFDShow Video Decoder due to the decoder's lack of Closed Captioning support.<br />

5. Optimized: Reduced chances of WASAPI hiccups when using very low buffer latency settings.<br />
6. Changed: Improved smoothness of the clock provided by the J. River audio renderer during video playback.<br />
7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar).<br />
8. Fixed: The DSP Studio Output Format setting "Surround mixing" was disabled when selecting "Stereo", making it impossible to select JRSS v2.0 for 5.1 or 7.1 downmixing.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.151 (02/24/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: During television playback, the J. River audio renderer would not be used.<br />
2. Fixed: A timeout when reading from an internet resource could cause a crash.<br />
3. Optimized: When using the J. River Audio Renderer for video playback, the DSP Studio is managed by the renderer instead of inserting a discrete DSP Studio transform filter in the playback graph.<br />
4. Changed: Revised how clocking in J. River Audio Renderer works so that it nicely supports tempo and rate changes in DSP Studio (or other similar VST, etc. plugins).<br />
5. Fixed: J. River audio renderer caused some videos to repeat the last sound byte forever.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.150 (02/23/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: Some WAV tags could cause the program to hang.<br />
2. Fixed: Switching between a Directshow audio filter and a Media Center plugin for audio decoding would unnecessarily do a full-stop transition, making cross-fading, gapless, etc. impossible.<br />
3. Changed: Improved lip-sync when using J. River audio renderer (may require one seek before lip-sync is correct).<br />
4. Changed: Theater View's Playing Now looks and works better when playback is stopped.<br />
5. Changed: Improved support of mu-law encoded AU files.<br />
6. Fixed: Slim view would incorrectly do Windows 7-like edge snapping. (still snaps to edges, just doesn't fill half the screen)<br />

3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).<br />
4. Chef's Recommendation NEW: Added ASIO 'Volume' option to allow customization of the system volume device controlled during ASIO playback (since ASIO device names do not always match Windows device names).<br />
5. Changed: Improved volume matching mode during ASIO playback when the volume option is set to 'Automatically try to choose at playback time'.<br />
6. Changed: When replacing Microsoft DTV-DVD audio decoder with another decoder during video, DVD, and television playback that involves AC3 audio decoding, a prominent message is displayed to show user of progress.<br />
7. Fixed: MC could repeatedly download and install FLV splitter filter on Windows 7 due to failure to access registry.<br />
8. Chef's Recommendation NEW: Output Format in DSP Studio allows more sophisticated resampling settings, making it easier to leave sample rates supported by your hardware untouched while resampling unsupported formats.<br />
9. Changed: Updated copyright years on about and splash images.<br />
10. Fixed: When playing a video, incorrect values could show in DSP Studio > Volume Leveling (replay gain not available for videos).<br />

<br />
1. NEW: Theater View's Playing Now has functional position, volume, and star ratings (all items have left, right, enter functionality -- currently requires a remote or keyboard for functionality)<br />
2. Fixed: The new Theater View Playing Now 'Info' panel was not tied to the correct file.<br />
3. Changed: When Theater View jumps to Playing Now, it does it relative to the current view so "Back" will return to the previous view.<br />
4. Changed: Theater View will jump to Playing Now when starting audio playback, a single<br />
click will return. (can still be customized in Options > Theater View)<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.146 (02/16/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Theater View has a new and improved Playing Now. (still a work in progress)<br />

6. Changed: When being externally controlled by a DLNA controller, Media Center will disable continuous without permanently changing the continuous setting.<br />
7. Changed: When rendering a disabled version of a button with no disabled art, a faded version of the normal image will be used instead of a faded version of the pressed image.<br />
8. Optimized: Improved startup performance.<br />
9. Fixed: Fixed a case where loading a corrupt JPEG could cause a program crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.144 (02/12/2010)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added support for Windows 7 taskbar buttons. Hover over MC on the taskbar to see playback control buttons on the application thumbnail.<br />
2. Fixed: WASAPI exclusive pause could be unreliable after synchronizing multiple zones.<br />
3. Changed: WASAPI option "Present 24-bit data in a 32-bit package" works more intelligently so less cards should need to change the option.<br />
(option off by default but will use 32-bit packages if 24-bit packages fail to open; only force 32-bit packages if your hardware is failing to play 24-bit content)<br />
4. Fixed: last.fm did not persist its running state properly when running under UAC.<br />
5. Changed: Revised how DLNA renderer exposes metadata so that it works even with no DLNA server running.<br />
6. Changed: When controlling DLNA devices, a shorter timeout is used for control functions to better handle spotty / disconnected devices.<br />
7. Optimized: When using TRemote or DLNA control zones, the volume gets queried from the server less often.<br />
8. Changed: Image tooltips will show the same information whether the large preview is in the tooltip or not. (things like camera, focal length, etc.)<br />
9. Changed: Image tooltips wouldn't nicely format volume names in the filename, so a CD drive would show the hex volume ID.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.143 (02/11/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: MC will attempt to use a known good decoder if automatic graph-building fails for DVD playback.<br />
2. Fixed: Possible resource leak when stopping video playback.<br />
3. Fixed: Drop panes would not properly filter the items in the list based on a view's search criteria.<br />
4. Fixed: When using an Aero Glass enabled skin, views that did not support transparency (like Start) did not work properly with tabs.<br />
5. Fixed: DSP Studio 'Output Format' subwoofer controls would be incorrectly enabled when 'No mixing' was selected for 5.1 and 7.1 output.<br />
6. NEW: Added 12, 16, 24, and 32 channel output modes to DSP Studio > Output Format. (requires hardware capable of these modes; only 'no mixing' available for surround mixing)<br />
7. NEW: DSP Studio 'Output Format' accepts any number of input and output channels when using 'No mixing' surround mixing. This makes it possible to play 12, 16, 24, 32, etc. channel WAV files with lesser hardware.<br />
8. NEW: More Netflix metadata (synopsis, actors, director, etc.). [requires Options > Theater View > Customize file info panel... > Manage... > Reset All Templates To Default)<br />
9. NEW: Added WASAPI option: Flush device buffers on startup (use if you hear a tick or miss part of the start).<br />
10. Fixed: Possible race condition on fast multiple core machines that could cause WASAPI pause to be unreliable.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.142 (02/10/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: MC will quietly deal with Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder's AC3 decoding issue by trying to substitute a known working decoder.<br />
2. Fixed: Mouse capture was not working correctly in the player window, so grabbing the volume slider and moving the mouse out of the window wouldn't allow movement of the slider.<br />
3. Changed: Clicking 'Configure...' in Zone Manager will show the audio, image, and video configuration pages (instead of just audio).<br />
4. Fixed: During DLNA Server / Library Server conversion, temporary files could be left on disk until the program was restarted.<br />

6. Fixed: Scheduled television recording would not work if recording folder was specified in UNC.<br />
7. Fixed: DLNA could advertise a bye-bye on shutdown for found devices (instead of just renderers / servers we were running).<br />
8. Optimized: DLNA discovery broadcasts are handled more efficiently.<br />
9. NEW: More DLNA metadata is supported like album artist, composer, track number, etc. (also includes Twonky extensions like rating, number plays, etc.)<br />
10. Fixed: When syncing a portable device with library server files which needed conversion, the filenames on the device got truncated (e.g. ".mp3", "(2).mp3", etc.)<br />
11. Changed: When calling SetAVTransportURI(...) on the DLNA renderer, it will start playing the new file right away if it was playing the old file.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.141 (02/09/2010)'''
<br />
1. Changed: VST visualizers will receive data in smaller, smoother increments improving visualization quality. (requires low-latency playback like ASIO or WASAPI with the "Output mode settings..." buffering slider set to a small value)<br />
2. Changed: Made Television options its own page in Options.<br />
3. Changed: Reworked television options dialog to better fit in the Options dialog.<br />

7. Changed: Slight increase in vertical spacing of options dialog items.<br />
8. Changed: During video playback, an option 'Color Controls...' is now available in the right-click menu which shows a popup with color controls.<br />
9. Changed: The right-click video playback option 'Select Filters...' shows the same options dialog as 'Video playback settings...' since the newer options dialog supports all settings.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.140 (02/05/2010)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: WASAPI playback could fail to resume from a paused state in some cases with build 139 only.<br />
2. Fixed: DSP Studio for video could result in the wrong renderer being used if the decoder output a format the renderer didn't support (even though the DSP could have converted it).<br />
3. Changed: When doing a manual 'Recheck Sync' on a device, errors with transfer rights will be displayed instead of silently handled.<br />
4. Fixed: Netflix and Hulu playback were broken.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.139 (02/04/2010)'''

11. Changed: When playing a television program or channel that is being recorded, playback automatically switches to play the recorded file<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.62 (09/02/2009)'''

3. Changed: In digital television and DVD audio/video decoder selection "Let DirectShow choose a filter for me" and "Automatic selection" are renamed "Automatic" for consistency across the program.<br />
4. Fixed: Library sync using library server.<br />
5. NEW: Reworked how Remote Control options are presented.<br />

9. Changed: When playing, Media Center will prevent S3 system sleep.<br />
10. Fixed: Television subscriptions nicely handle the updated metadata layout of build 57 (so subscriptions look at series and name for deciding what to record).<br />
11. Fixed: Canceling an on-going television recording could take a long time to take effect (build 57 only).<br />
12. Fixed: Loading read-only libraries was not working properly. (only applies to last few builds)<br />

7. Changed: Adjusted the Green Button rolling logic so that slower button presses will still roll through the three views (current, root, display).<br />
8. Changed: Playing a video file from Theater View that was already playing but was just paused will show it fullscreen and start playback.<br />
9. Fixed: After in-place editing in the panes, the selection would change to nothing selected instead of keeping the edited item selected.<br />
10. Fixed: Arrow navigation while doing in-place pane editing could cause problems. (arrow navigation not possible since each change could reorder or renumber the list)<br />
11. Changed: MC will recognize MyMovies data as an alternate format in a video sidecar file, and will read tags from it. Tag writing will always be in MPL format.<br />
12. NEW: Upgraded XMLTV television parser to support actors, original release date, rating, series, etc.<br />
13. NEW: Television program and recording metadata structure revised for better handling of series and original release dates.<br />
14. Changed: NOTE -- Revised default Theater View file info panel defaults so customization must be reapplied. (you can use Manage... > Copy Template To Clipboard to backup existing templates before upgrade)<br />
15. Changed: Tweaked wording on the new import Action Window to be more clear.<br />

5. NEW: Playback Range field accepts high resolution times like '1:22.343344 - 3:21.3902013'. (still accepts low resolution times like '1:22 - 3:21' or simple millisecond numbers like '82000 - 201000')<br />
6. Fixed: In some cases, connected Tremote zones could get saved as a permanent zone. (if extra zones exist from this bug, they must be removed in Zone Manager)<br />

<br />
1. NEW: Classified<br />
2. Fixed: In rare cases MC would behave badly when the user switched to a television channel with no/weak signal.<br />

<br /><br>'''14.0.52 (08/17/2009)'''
<br />
1. Changed: On a fresh install (or after resetting Theater View items to show in Options > Theater View), 'Hulu' will be listed before 'YouTube' in Theater View.<br />

9. Fixed: Tag changes made in Theater View could apply to the entire list instead of just the selected file.<br />
10. Fixed: Lineup list style in Theater View could scroll unexpectedly when moving the mouse near the edges of the list.<br />

<br />
1. NEW: The MP3 plugin will respond to 'Gapless Header' and 'Gapless Footer' in Tag(...) expression requests to allow querying for gapless information. (remember that Tag(...) expressions query physical file tags and are 1000s of times slower than database access)<br />
2. Fixed: Theater View selection wrapping was not working properly.<br />
3. Fixed: Cancelling the remote control learning wizard could crash.<br />
4. Fixed: When learning remote control commands on Options > Remote Control, a button press could learn two commands.<br />

4. Changed: Several IR blast wizard changes and fixes.<br />
5. NEW: Added new ASIO option 'Use large hardware buffers (recommended to prevent stutter)' that uses the maximum hardware buffer size instead of the default buffer size, which should help alleviate any stuttering issues.

7. Changed: Cleaned up roller layout in Theater View Playing Now views.<br />
8. Changed: Internal changes to how Theater View manages arrow navigation and roller layout (should be internal change, but please report any issues).<br />

4. Fixed: Theater View did not nicely support Alt+# style input of international characters.<br />
5. Fixed: Switching the resolution of a monitor while Theater View was showing did not update Theater View correctly.<br />
6. Changed: The TV recording stub file (*.jtv) now references other data files by relative paths, instead of full path. This way the recordings can be moved to different locations and be still playable. They can also be shared and played from other computers.<br />
7. NEW: Audio engine supports WAV files with a bit depth of 64 bits. (internal data path remains 32-bits)<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.15 (06/18/2009)'''

3. NEW: Added WASAPI option "Present 24-bit data in a 32-bit package". (some audiophile hardware needs 24-bit data while most consumer level hardware needs 24-bit data in a 32-bit package)<br />
4. NEW: Improved web service interface (MCWS) so that all playback functions support zones.<br />
5. NEW: When connecting to a Library Server, the server zones are added to the client zones under Playing Now to allow playback to any zone of the server or any zone of the client. (this replaces the 'Here' / 'There' popup)<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.14 (06/17/2009)'''
<br />
1. Changed: Removed the "Finish" page from the television scanning dialog -- the results are shown in the channel list after a scan.<br />

2. NEW: Improved new Import interface when importing a single folder.<br />
3. NEW: Reworked Theater View rollers so they can be grabbed and dragged or flicked to scroll with a mouse / touch-screen (works like other Theater View lists now).<br />
4. Changed: ATSC television channel scanning will use an existing channel in database with identical channel name, instead of creating a new entry (in case the physical channel is different). This change is necessary to avoid creating duplicates, and to preserve existing subscriptions. Many television stations changed their broadcast carrier frequency (physical channel) at the analog broadcast switch-off last week.<br />
5. Fixed: DVB-T channel "Is AC3 Audio" attribute was displayed incorrectly in "Details" section on "Edit Channel List" window.<br />
6. Changed: Miscellaneous changes in "Edit Channel List" window.<br />

3. Fixed: Possible crash when scrolling in lists.<br />
4. Changed: The text on the installer button "Next" is changed to "Next >", to be consistent with "< Back" button, and to avoid translation confusion with "Next" as in "Next Track".<br />
5. Fixed: Monochrome PSD files that used RLE encoding could cause a crash (monochrome PSD files not currently supported).<br />
6. Changed: "Next / Previous use favorite channels only" check box is moved from Television Options window to Edit Channel List window.<br />
7. Changed: When saving an ID3v2 tag to an MP3, if the new tag is more than 8 KB smaller than the old tag, the file will be rewritten to save space on disk.<br />
8. Fixed: Lists that were grouped into Album Thumbnails were not always working.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.11 (06/10/2009)'''
<br />
1. NEW: Added write support to Library Server to allow bidirectional communication of any number of clients with a single server. When connected to a Library Server, use the command File > Library > Sync Library... to write any changes made on the client back to the server, and also update the client from the server if necessary. Expect automation in a future build.<br />
2. Changed: When connecting the a Library Server, the Filename is no longer updated to show a URL -- instead this happens internally at playback time.<br />

2. Changed: Updated the Chinese language file (thanks to Katapa).<br />
3. Changed: When an encoder needs to download a supporting file on first use, it could show two UAC prompts instead of one.<br />
4. Changed: When emailing log files, a string is placed at the top of the message asking users to provide a description or link (it's hard to know what to do with logs with no context).<br />
5. Changed: Quicktime file types (except mov, qt, m4p, and m4b) that are set to use "Automatic" Playback Method will be played using DirectShow instead of Quicktime engine if needed DirectShow filters are found on the computer.<br />
6. Changed: Increased timeout used when searching for Library Servers.<br />
7. Fixed: In some cases, searching for a Library Server could find a server running on the local machine, causing a possible circular reference.<br />
8. Fixed: Creation of ZIP file with subfolders could fail to be unzipped on Linux (caused problems with Pix01 galleries).<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.9 (06/05/2009)'''

7. NEW: When connecting to Library Server, a user can choose to play on the server instead of locally.<br />
<br /><br>'''14.0.7 (06/02/2009)'''
<br />
1. Fixed: OSD Position display flickered when rapidly seeking forward or backward in video playback.<br />
2. Fixed: Image editor changes stored in the library could cause a crash at display / thumbnail time if the underlying image was a different size than when the effects were performed.<br />
3. Changed: When a My Computer view is loading, it will display the number of files found as it works.<br />

6. Changed: When a file manually selected to play fails to play, an error will be shown instead of silently skipping the file and possibly playing another file. (in the middle of a playlist, errors will only be shown if there are three sequential errors)<br />
7. Fixed: Zooming into a full-page thumbnail would not scroll to the correct location.<br />
8. Changed: Auto-import could report the same DVD file over-and-over as changed if it was in a watched folder.<br />
9. Optimized: Optimization that allows import to do less work when importing files for the first time.<br />
10. Optimized: Reading MP3 ID3v2 tags is over 4 times faster.<br />
11. Optimized: Clearing a large library is faster.<br />

7. Fixed: When an EXIF tag had multiple rotation tags, only one would be updated during lossless image rotation.<br />
8. Optimized: Thumbnail database maintenance no longer scans thumbnail database on program shutdown. (scanning for orphan thumbnails is done when adding a new thumbnail, where it causes no performance hit since the database is loaded at that time regardless)<br />
9. Changed: If Media Center fails to load an image for a file (database says tag has image but it doesn't or database points to missing external file), the image field will get cleared so there isn't a mismatch between the thumbnail and what can actually be loaded.<br />
10. Changed: Updated APE decoding / encoder to the latest Monkey's Audio code. (fixes problem where corrupt frames could play as static instead of silence)<br />
11. Fixed: When finishing playback of the last audio file in a playlist, the player could blink "Buffering..." a few times in the player bar.<br />

5. Fixed: The page up / page down buttons could lead to strange results with Theater View rollers.<br />
6. Changed: The DVD Menu shortcut (MCE Remote, MCC_DVD_MENU, etc.), when DVD is not already playing, will start disc playback if nothing is playing or prompt to start disc playback if something is playing.<br />
7. Changed: 3D Album / Showroom views better update when thumbnails are built.<br />
8. Changed: 3D Album / Showroom views use full-resolution textures when zooming into an image.<br />

<br /><br>'''13.0.130 (02/26/2009)'''

2. Changed: Running Media Server will disable the option to 'Allow multiple instances to run at one time'.<br />
3. Changed: ID3v2 tags no longer store a TXXX(JR/Date) in ID3v2.3 tags when they have no more precision (i.e. time) than the year (TYER) field.<br />
4. Fixed: Theater View News could show a superfluous dot at the end of each line when reading the full story.<br />
5. Fixed: "Crop Edges" property that had been saved in database for a video file was not applied when the video was played.<br />
6. Changed: When TV finishes recording and imports the recording into the library, the "Crop Edges" property of the file is set according to the setting under TV Settings.<br />
7. Changed: TV recording files (jtv, jts) that do not have "Crop Edges" property saved in the dataabase will have it default to TRUE at playback time, regardless of the setting's value in "DirectShow video playback settings".<br />

5. Changed: The "Band" field is saved as TXXX(JR/Band) in an MP3 ID3v2 tag instead of TXXX(Band) to avoid conflicts with some software that considers TXXX(Band) the album artist.<br />
6. Changed: The "Date" field is saved as TXXX(JR/Date) in an MP3 ID3v2 tag instead of TXXX(Date) to avoid conflicts with some software that considers TXXX(Date) the year.<br />
8. Changed: ID3v2 tagging used TDRC for date storage and removes other date fields when writing ID3v2.4 tags.<br />
9. Fixed: In rare cases, bicubic image rendering from a large size to a very small size could cause a crash.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.128 (02/24/2009)'''

7. Optimized: Revised some core library functionality to provide slightly smaller binaries.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.109 (01/19/2009)'''
1. NEW: A new file type *.jtv is created for TV recording. This is not a stand alone file type. It is a stub file that references to time-shifting files so we can manage TV recording and time-shifting better.<br />

7. Fixed: Television recording could crash when "Use FFDShow for post processing" option was on.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.106 (01/14/2009)'''
1. Optimized: Updated database format to use 35% - 70% less space on disk, and load and save faster. (upgrades database format, so all players sharing the library must be upgraded)<br />

<br /><br>'''13.0.105 (01/09/2009)'''
1. Fixed: Scheduling a television recording to extend far past the end of a program, then configuring that recording by picking a later program that is also included could cause problems.<br />
2. Fixed: Theater View could show partial items when scrolling near the bottom of the list.<br />
3. Changed: News and Weather Theater View plugins look smoother when scrolling through lists.<br />
4. NEW: Added Jokes4All source for reading jokes from Theater View (now that Comedy Central only provides one joke a day).<br />
5. NEW: Added ability to read Engadget posts to Theater View's News plugin. (use Set Source on the News screen to change sources)<br />
6. Changed: When watching a TV channel that is currently being recorded, MC will not jump to the "live" position. Instead, it will go to the earliest available position when the channel is initially being watched. The current position being watched is bookmarked so that the next time the channel is watched (while the recording is still going on), MC will pick up from where it was left the last time.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.104 (01/08/2009)'''
1. Fixed: MC Command MCC_PLAY_TV did not always start last played TV channel.<br />

9. Optimized: Database loading is faster.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.103 (01/07/2009)'''
1. Fixed: TV tuners that were scanning (for either channels or programming guide) were incorrectly classified as either "idle" or "watching". As a result the TV recording manager would take them over for recording.<br />
2. Fixed: The "Exit" button in Theater View didn't work unless it was removed and added again in options (only applies to build 102).<br />
3. Changed: Theater View uses multi-pass rendering to more nicely fade the edges of rollers and provide a smoother look while animating.<br />
4. Changed: In Television, picking "Record" for a program that was configured for partial recording (due to extending the previous program) would start a fresh record wizard instead of allowing configuration of the existing recording.<br />
5. Fixed: Changing the recording options for a program or subscription would not update the EPG view immediately.<br />
6. Fixed: Browsing into "Unassigned" items in thumbnail views was not working properly.<br />
7. Changed: When maximized, any rounded edges of a skin are removed and filled with solid black so that clicking in the screen corner won't send the click to a window behind Media Center.<br />

<br /><br>'''13.0.102 (01/05/2009)'''
1. Fixed: TV Recording folder would be wrong if user entered a path without a trailing "\" character.<br />

3. Fixed: WASAPI playback of 24-bit material could produce static / ticking with certain hardware.<br />
4. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar).<br />
5. Changed: Revised anti-repeat mechanism in Theater View menus to better prevent holding the right arrow down from showing and accepting a menu command.<br />
6. Fixed: Removing a file from Playing Now in Theater View would leave an orphan item in the list.<br />
7. Changed: Removing a file from Playing Now in Theater View looks smoother visually.<br />

18. Changed: TV will not show a confirmation dialog window when recording manager stops recording while user is watching the show.<br />
19. Optimized: Improved performance of album thumbnail views.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.101 (12/31/2008)'''

4. Fixed: Mouse-wheeling over an in-place edit list control could crash.<br />
5. Changed: Pressing right in a menu won't accept the menu item for 1/2 second. This prevents key repeats from firing commands in Theater View.<br />

4. Changed: Reworked the user interface of some of the DSP plugins. (better translation support, uses user selected fonts, etc.)<br />
5. Fixed: The ID3v1 genre byte could be set to undefined (255) in cases where it could have been one of the preset genres.<br />
6. Changed: When TV recording manager can not find an idle tuner for recording, it will try using a tuner that is being used for watching, after confirming with the user.<br />
<br /><br>'''13.0.99 (12/29/2008)'''
1. Changed: Navigation favorites are saved as they are created instead of at program shutdown, so an incomplete shutdown can not cause changes to be lost.<br />
2. Fixed: Playing a partial television recording that was left after a crash during recording would hang at the end of the recording.<br />
3. Changed: Television recording system automatically purges old recording rules.<br />

5. Changed: Limit style smartlists are now left in random order in the view instead of applying the view's sorting.<br />

8. New: Added a "Rule" to the HH Cache.  Default is [HHDevice]\[Artist]\[Album].<br />
9. Changed: Post extension data is returned for the "Filename (name)" field / expression when dealing with CUE files.<br />
10. Fixed: Library specific library import options were not being honored. (so Otto wouldn't see external changes)<br />

2. Changed: Removed "run now" from auto-import options. (since it's in the main menu / toolbar)<br />

<br /><br>'''12.0.89 (10/10/06)'''
1. NEW: TV user can configure how much video to retain during time-shifting. The default has been increased from 1.5 hour to 5 hours.<br />
