28.0.102 (1/18/2022)

1. Fixed: Lists could jump selection when returning from Mini View (only Playing Now should jump to the playing file).
2. Changed: When starting to record a DMS TV channel, MC will check and update the channel IP address to match that of the current device IP address. This will fix recording issues caused by tuner devices changing IP address.
3. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).

4. Fixed: Rare crash when stopping TV playback of channel types not using DirectShow.
5. Fixed: When switching to and from Twilight the skin effects could stay engaged.
6. Fixed: Loading skins with skin effects could load the effect after it had already loaded some pieces so the effect wouldn't engage properly.

1. Fixed: The TV feature added in build 83 did not quite work correctly.
2. Changed: When playing a ATSC TV recording, MC will try to honor "Subtitles & Language" settings "Show subtitles in selected language if available", "Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is
    different from audio language", "Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is different from audio languagem, or if the subtitles are in a sidecar file", if Closed Captioning metadata had been saved
    in database during recording (i.e. the recordings are done using the latest version of MC).

1. NEW: Enabled context menu items "Go To Earliest Time" and "Go To Latest Time" in time-shifted TV playback with DMS and IPTV channels.

8. Changed: Moved the Gammut and Gamma JRVR options into an "Advanced" section, as well as re-factored the Gamma option to properly indicate the intent and suggested use.

3. Changed: The spacing between rows in a list would add room for the image column even if it wasn't there.

5. Changed: Improved handling of timestamps when dealing with Transport Stream streaming TV channels (DMS channels, some IPTV channels, and CableCARD channels on Linux/Mac).
6. Fixed (probably): Playback of Transport Stream streaming TV channels could be messed up if the stream changed its Program Clock Reference (outside of regular resetting due to counter overflow).
7. Changed: The spacing between item rows in a list would leave space for an image column even if it wasn't there.


28.0.75 (10/12/2021)
1. Fixed: Some expression code was slowing things down.


28.0.74 (10/12/2021)

28.0.71 (10/5/2021)
1. Changed: The expression engine was short-circuiting field functions, but it no longer does that if there are enough parameters to indicate another file so Field(Name, 0, [Reference]) works.

3. Fixed: For IPTV playback a "Window" context menu (for aspect ratio, zooming etc.) was displayed in error as it's not supported.

28.0.69 (9/28/2021)
1. NEW: Made FieldQuery take a Scope of 2 to match files of the same media type (the list is gathered one time, so you will need to restart to see newly imported files).

5. Changed: IPTV channels start up is significantly faster.

28.0.55 (8/24/2021)
1. Changed: Moved the escapement for ListMix to after evaluating as a child expression.
2. Changed: ListMix takes parameter value of 8 which tells it to do no unescape after everything.

1. Changed: TV Options > Advanced > Show status... dialog window is now scrollable so that the text will not be truncated.
2. Changed: Increased HLS playlist refreshing retry count, to reduce chances of IPTV stalling due to server being slow to update playlists.
3. Fixed: Starting playback with Playback/PlayByKey of a whole album would not start with the selected file.
4. Changed: ListMix checks for all functions and things in brackets to decide if it should re-evaluated the inner as an expression.

5. Fixed: MC did not handle HLS files with finite size (i.e. not live TV, such as VOD) so that those IPTV channels could not run in time-shifting mode. 6. Fixed: IPTV URLs with redirect was not handled properly.
7. Fixed: Some IPTV channels with relative URLs were not handled properly.


28.0.52 (8/12/2021)
