22.0.71 (2/2/2017)

1. Changed: MC will try correcting a certain type of malformed WAVE files when writing tags to ID3 chunk, so that tag writing will be successful.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Tagging support for non-PCM audio in WAVE files.  This includes DTS and MPEG audio in WAVE.
4. Fixed: Clicking on a link icon for an album or artist with accents didn't always work.

22.0.70 (1/31/2017)

1. Fixed: More accents trouble.

22.0.69 (1/30/2017)

1. NEW: During import of an ISO file from a SACD, the Foobar sidecar file is read for the track names (we can pull other data if you request it).
2. Changed: When customizing the new Tag Action Window, it won't let you add items outside a group (since a group is necessary).
3. Fixed: Pane views that used accents with expression fields weren't working properly.
4. Fixed: The size of emailing images is remembered between sends.

22.0.68 (1/30/2017)

1. Changed: Over-the-air EPG scanning (ATSC and DVB) no longer saves "Event ID" into Program ID field.  Instead, Episode ID, if available, is saved in the field.
2. Changed: The tag action window could be slow to open when it was showing playlists.  Now it's much faster.
3. Changed: The new tag window has "Image" as one of the add choices during customization to nicely add the image field and type the right expression for you.

22.0.67 (1/27/2017)

1. Fixed: Putting an accent in a search list item for the panes didn't work properly.

22.0.66 (1/26/2017)

1. Changed: A little more tuning of ellipsis and capitalization in the string cleaning tool.
2. Changed: Made the IsLowerCase(...) function take an optional second parameter for the number of characters to test.  That way you can test only the first letter for example.

4. Fixed: After playing live TV on a client, an invalid JTV file might be left in the server database.

2. NEW: Added the option 'Convert dots to the ellipsis character' for the tool Clean File Properties.
3. NEW: Added the expression IsLowerCase(...) to test a string to see if it's all lowercase.

2. Fixed: The date/time "Midnight December 30, 1899" could not be set.

4. Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.1.
5. Changed: Made the text boxes in a library overview a little wider.
6. Fixed: DVB EPG text on certain channels was not decoded properly.
7. Fixed: When playing television, the Theater View Playing Now box wouldn't properly show the display.

2. Fixed: DLNA device renderer returned 0 for current file duration in both the getPosition and getMediaInfo calls.
3. Fixed: MCWS returned 0 for position much longer than desirable causing the playback bar on JRemote and Gizmo to bounce back and forth until a valid position was received.
4. Changed: DLNA: Small change to determination of stale values in playback position.

Theatre View. The track progress indicator seems to be misbehaving. When playback is initiated the indicator (dot) quickly travels to the end of track position. Numerical information (when highlighted) appears correct.

Is anyone having hassles with "Get Movie & TV Info"?

When I run this on a TV show or a movie, I get a seemingly endless wait as MC is "Searching for results ..."

Clicking "Cancel" then sends me to the spinning blue circle of frustration as MC appears to do nothing.

Then if I click the red X-it box at the top right of the "Get Movie & TV Info" dialogue, MC proceeds to fall in a heap with an OS message of:

The application is not responding. The program may respond if you wait.
Do you want to end this process?

Is it just me?

Is there a way to have the text in the new Tag Window font be BLACK? I can't find a theme where the text is not a light color, almost unreadable.

Is there a reason a basic dialog like Tag font color should be affected by a theme? It seems that certain UX elements are purely functional, no reason to mess them up.

Not almost.  Unusable.

it does seem a lot slower, I haven't noticed any outright failures like this though.

Thanks for the feedback. Very useful to know that I'm not alone.

One for the devs to look at. A user stopping a process shouldn't cause MC to drop its bundle.

I'm on another machine right now and it's another long wait for:

Searching for results ...

Looks like this one is not an isolated, one off. Let me know if you need a log.

EDIT: Gee, it's been over 10 minutes now for a scrape from TMDB and the rest for a movie title (that I know is there). Seems nuts to me that MC is not even timing out the process. So, it's Cancel - Blue Circle of Frustration - Red X - Application Not Responding - End Process. Same MO as the other PC (refer previous comments).
