22.0.88 (3/24/2017)

1. Fixed: Some "caf" format files were not importing or playing.
2. Fixed: When "Run on Mac startup" was set to Media Server, the full UI was still showing up along with the toolbar icon.  Now it just shows the toolbar icon.
3. Changed: Some DLNA tweaks. Fixed a duplicated zone problem.
4. Changed: Added the right-click option to hide the zone you right-clicked on at the top of the show / hide zone menu.
5. Fixed: Customizing the File Info panel in Theater View was broken.
6. Changed: Updates to Z, ModernCards Grey, Green Eyes, and Aruba (thanks Awesome Donkey!).
7. NEW: The hierarchical subjects from Light Room are available in an image using Tag(XMP: HierarchicalSubject).
8. Changed: Updates to Pearl Bailey, PixOS, Noire, and Noire Glass (thanks Awesome Donkey!).
9. Fixed: Audio Analysis would hang on files with an invalid playback range.
10. NEW: Added Options > Images > Stop slideshow on manual changes to optionally keep a slideshow running during manual changes (defaults to on).
11. Changed: A bunch of fixes and changes for the "new" tag window.  See Windows build comments for details (builds 76-88).
12. NEW: Added rating to the OSD.
13. Changed: Made pressing the play button on a remote resume a paused image slideshow from switching tracks manually, zooming, etc.
14. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.25.
15. Fixed: In rare cases during large media imports, there could be a fatal error where a large number of dead-locked background threads get created that would prevent further thread creation.
16. NEW: Added a Mid-side decoder to Parametric Equalizer.
17. Fixed: With large databases, a background audio analysis could appear to freeze Media Center.
18. Changed: Made the resolution of the room correction speaker distances smaller (0.1 ft or 0.01 meters).
19. Changed: Made the up and down arrows reverse so that up increases volume or any other slider and down decreases.
20. Changed: Made calling /RestoreLibrary, /RestoreLibraryAndSettings, etc. not show a success message box.
21. Changed: When video playing is in frame-stepping mode, LEFT arrow causes video to jump back 1 second, regardless what value it is set in video settings.
22. NEW: CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW (left or right) in video playing jumps to the next/previous key frame.  Works only with certain types of video (such as AVi, mp4, mkv).
23. Changed: Made importing an animated GIF file automatically play in the video engine.
24. NEW: Added the expression function UnMoveArticles(...) to move the articles back to the beginning of a string from the end.
24. Changed: When cancelling the Customize View dialog, if no changes have been made, it will be instant (instead of reapplying the same settings).
25. Changed: Made the fill track numbers system show a dialog to ask for the start and increment.
26. NEW: Added the expression function MoveArticles(...) to take a string and move the leading article to the end.
27. Fixed: Caf audio files containing non-PCM audio would fail to play if playback type was set to Automatic.
28. Fixed: OpenSubtitles feature would not set the current subtitle for a video to the one selected if it was a "MicroDVD" format.
29. Changed: Expanded OpenSubtitles feature to support TV episodes with the season/episode format (e.g. "Series Name S01E04").
30. Changed: OpenSubtitles feature now downloads multiple subtitle file sets for multi-disc movies.  Downloaded files have the CD number at the end of the filename, e.g. "_CD1", "_CD2", etc.
31. NEW: Frame-by-frame forward stepping in video and television playback. SHIFT+Right Arrow.
32. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
33. Changed: Increased the maximum subtitle shift allowed in the right-click menu to 5 seconds from 1 second (remember that the OSD choice to adjust the shift allows infinite adjustments).
34. NEW: Added support for PSD files that are RGB with 4 channels for the color.
35. Changed: Made zooming in or out of an image stop the slideshow.
36. Fixed: Facebook upload photos wasn't working because older API wasn't supported anymore.  MC now supports API v2.8.

2. Fixed: The "Add Zone" feature using the "Copy" option wasn't copying zone settings on Mac & Linux.
3. Fixed: Pressing the OK button to accept something didn't always work when running translated (made DSP presets unsaveable, etc.).
4. Fixed: Status bar in image editor wasn't working.
5. Fixed: Copy/paste wasn't working in image editor.
6. Fixed: After an external dsp plugin was "uninstalled" from dsp studio, it would return at the next restart of Media Center.

1. NEW: Image editor implemented.
2. Fixed: Removed WDM driver feature enable.

22.0.71 (2/7/2017)

2. Fixed: A crash could occur at the end of playing some videos.

22.0.63 (1/13/2017)

1. Fixed: DLNA device renderer returned 0 for current file duration in both the getPosition and getMediaInfo calls.
2. 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.
3. Changed: DLNA: Small change to determination of stale values in playback position.

22.0.54 (12/27/2016)

5. Fixed: Macs with a Touch Bar would cause Media Center to crash.
6. Changed: The Mac build of Media Center is now 64-bit only. Media Center no longer supports OS X 10.6.
7. Changed: Improved Theater View performance substantially on some systems.
8. Changed: Smoothed out a lot of the animations used in Theater View 3D views.
9. Changed: Added more support for PonoPlayer devices.  Includes account setup in Tools / Options / Services.  Also the 'Pono authenticated' column can be added to any view by adding column 'Pono', which shows a blue icon for tracks purchased from the PonoMusic Store.
10. Changed: The PonoMusic Store is now listed in the tree under 'Services & Plug-ins'.  The Pono store website is still 'under construction' however as they are in the process of switching to a new music fulfillment back-end.

22.0.43 (11/29/2016)

1. Fixed: Improved the accuracy of resampling delay handling when using SoX for a more constant delay on certain resampling ratios.

1. Fixed: Cover Art in Theater View would show reversed and with grey borders.
2. Fixed: Installation on OS X Sierra would show a Gatekeeper error.
3. Fixed: On the Save View dialog, typing a name with a backslash in it or other illegal filename character wasn't handled nicely.
4. Fixed: DSP Studio wouldn't load the ideal page size of the first page it showed.
5. Changed: Manually changing images during playback stops the image slideshow.
6. Fixed: Doing a listening test with a really high sample rate file could lead to a crash.
7. Changed: Added the original as one of the formats for the listening tests.

22.0.39 (11/14/2016)

1. NEW: Theater View is now supported on Mac!  Select it from the View menu.  Being a new feature, there may be some issues so please report any problems you run into.
2. Fixed: Very old APE format files (v3.80) could crash on import.
3. NEW: Added Tools > Listening Test... to try your listening skills.
4. Fixed: Pressing escape after editing a field in-place accepted the changes instead of discard the changes.
5. Changed: Added 4x to the encoding options for DSD.
6. Fixed: Switching between audio files with different channel configuration could result in channels being dropped under certain circumstances.
7. Fixed: DSP Studio wouldn't load the ideal page size of the first page it showed.
8. Fixed: Picking WPL as the playlist formats on a handheld would use ASX instead.
9. NEW: Video Thumbnails are rotated to match the videos rotation information.
10. Changed: Added a search box to Panel for searching through a library.

22.0.30 (9/26/2016)

1. Fixed: Add plugins was not working from DSP studio.
2. Fixed: Added a check to prevent Media Center from executing a shutdown while in the process of shutting down.
3. NEW: Added HTM and HTML to the list of sidecars shown by the new View Extras menu.
4. Changed: Made the function File/SetInfo take a parameter "Formatted" that when set to one the value coming in is formatted (like a date).  Defaults to "1".
5. Fixed: Pressing enter in the new value dialog for pane tagging wouldn't close the dialog if a suggestion was being shown.
6. Fixed: The popup about saving pane changes will show a little more reliably on shutdown.
7. Fixed: With multiple tabs open, the selected file for pane tagging (and maybe other things) could get corrupted.
8. Changed: Small update to the Modern Cards: Grey skin.

In this release, it seems that automated Analyze Audio, during import, on video files, hangs forever.  Importing is working correctly.  It's just that the Analyze Audio section of the import hangs on the first file and never gets through it.

After stopping this process, I've analyzed audio with the menu item (Library Tools > Analyze Audio), and MC correctly analyzes all selected files and finishes in a reasonable amount of time.

I've tested this several times in the last 12 hours and the result is the same each time.

Otherwise, everything else seems pretty normal so far.

Thanks,

Brian.

I wasn't able to reproduce this problem.  I have a network share with a mixed bag of videos in various formats.  I added this folder to the auto-import list and ticked "analyze audio in video files", then ran an import and it ran through the analysis slowly but surely.  Is this the procedure you used?  Maybe send a log file and we'll see what it says.  Thanks for the report Brian.
