28.0.8 (4/27/2021)

1. NEW: Skins are copied during upgrade from the old install to the new install. 2.

28.0.5 (4/16/2021)

1. NEW: Added the PlaylistTime(...) expression to get the time of a track in the current playlist (a sum of all previous durations) in mode 0, mode 1 adds the current track as well, the remaining time of the playlist in mode 2 and 3 (2 excludes the current track), and mode 4 for the total playlist duration. 2. Fixed: WASAPI loopback was not working. 3. Fixed: MakeMKV ripping would create processes over and over instead of using the same one. 4. Changed: When making relative paths, if nothing is in common, it doesn't convert to relative (previously would still output something -- but it wouldn't work). 5. NEW: The export all playlists tool shows a dialog to allow picking the format, whether to use relative paths, and the output path. 6. Fixed: With memory playback enabled, playing some streaming stations with ICY metadata could fail after a while. 7. Fixed: When playing URLs, two layers of ICY parsing could happen causing hiccups in the audio. 8. Fixed: MakeMKV processes were not always getting cleaned up when finished. 9. NEW: Files ripped using MakeMKV are imported after ripping. 10. Changed: Removed unintended double-buffering in mp3 plugin.

28.0.4 (4/9/2021)

1. NEW: Added the token "Bitdepth" to the player window to show the bitdepth of the file playing. 2. Changed: Made the Compare(...) expression look for the <,>,etc. operators and ignore everything else (so spaces or letters won't mess it up). 3. NEW: Setting the date of a picture also updates the EXIF date to match. 4. Fixed: Media Center could create test files for if a directory is writable and leave them in certain cases. 5. Fixed: MC could read ID3v2.2 PIC frame incorrectly causing the JPEG image to lose "start of image" marker. 6.

NEW: When scrolling in a list, if shift is held down it will scroll horizontally. 9. Fixed: Convolution did not work properly with channels 10 and higher. 10. Fixed: Filenames that were exactly the MAX_PATH length would not work. 11. NEW: Rip using MakeMKV.
