This is the latest version of MC21 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download: http://files.JRiver.com/mediacenter/channels/v21/latest/MediaCenter210008.dmg

21.0.8 (9/8/2015)

1. Fixed: DSD multi-channel music bit-streamed in DoPe format was not working, would output noise or choppy audio or silence.  Tested on exaSound e28 DAC.
2. Fixed: Increased the size of the video frame buffer to improve smoothness of certain videos.

21.0.7 (9/3/2015)

1. Fixed: Copy/Paste of file list data was only pasting file pathnames, not the data from the list grid.
2. Fixed: Drag & drop operations could occasionally cause a crash.
3. Changed: Switched back to old Core Audio hardware buffer size presets (Hardware Default, Maximum, Maximum Power of 2).  The default is now Hardware Default as it was prior to 6/29/2015.
4. Changed: Added larger software buffering sizes (750, 1000 ms).
5. Changed: Power management improvements to hopefully minimize audio dropouts.  Besides preventing App Nap during playback, MC also prevents hard disk idle (and network idle when serving files).
6. Fixed: Memory leak in SACD DST decoding.
7. Changed: Added the stock smartlist 'Audio -- Task -- Missing files'.

21.0.6 (8/26/2015)

1. Fixed: Bad build, corrupt DMG package caused app to fail Gatekeeper test.

21.0.5 (8/25/2015)

1. Fixed: Crash was occurring following a library restore.
2. Fixed: Trial period was not working.
3. Fixed: MC20 and MC21 licenses were clashing.

21.0.4 (8/21/2015)

1. Fixed: DSP Studio presets could not be saved/loaded/deleted.
2. Fixed: Display view sometimes would become detached from Media Center and could remain showing over the top of other views.

21.0.3 (8/19/2015)

1. NEW: Subtitle Support during Video Playback.
2. Fixed: A gray box would appear instead of the player controls during video playback.
3. Fixed: A Mac Client would display chart view instead of file list view.
4. Fixed: MC would not open saved library views.
5. Fixed: The "View Current Log" button on the logging dialog wasn't working.
6. Fixed: Exporting a playlist to HTML didn't open a browser to view the playlist properly.
7. Fixed: Viewing the html of a gallery in preview mode didn't open a browser properly to view the preview.
8. Fixed: Viewing of the Debug Log.
9. NEW: Image support.
10. Fixed: Saving a library view would incorrectly put a backslash in the path.

21.0.2 (8/5/2015)

1. Changed: Updated the licensing for version 21 (internal change).

21.0.1 (8/4/2015)

1. NEW: Added the sample rates 705600 and 768000 to the Output Format dialog.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added an image playback mode 'Display images using a 2D renderer' to the options of Images.  Will use a 2D space for rendering instead of a 3D space.  Mostly for Linux / Mac, but please test.
4. NEW: Added the MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist function to play a playlist in a specified zone.
5. NEW: Sending files to a particular zone disables Zone Switch from engaging.
6. NEW: Volume Leveling uses the additional Headroom provided by Internal Volume for a more consistent experience on highly dynamic tracks or when downmixing.
7. NEW: Added a 'Clean results' checkbox to the Fill Properties From Filename tool that will fix spacing, capitalization, etc.
8. NEW: Added an expression function Row() that outputs the current row number of a record.
9. NEW: Added the command 'ZoneSwitch...' to the Audio options page.
10. Changed: Made the search suggestions a little wider and fixed the sizing to account for high DPI.
11. Changed: Marked "<unknown album>" and "<unknown name>" for translation.
12. Changed: Marked a bunch of strings in the TiVo server for translation.
13. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
14. Changed: When a zone is cleared, it will clear all the linked zones as well (applies to MCWS/v1/Playback/ClearPlaylist but also other areas as well).
15. Changed: Added a few more 'o' character variations to the diacritical ignoring code.
16. NEW: MCWS Browse/Children contains more information about the type of the entry, and the PlaylistID if appropriate (only when requesting Version 2).
17. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo).
18. Changed: Added a few more diacriticals to the list of things for ignoring during sorting.

1. in multi monitor setting with 13in macbook pro retina, (built in monitor, 2 external monitors with 1920*1080, 1920*1200), JRiver cannot be moved to the 3rd monitor - Desktop 3) JRiver GUI can be placed on 2nd monitor, though.
2. when JRiver Gui is on the 2nd monitor, pull down menu shows up in random position instead of below the menu strip.

Still getting occasional drop-outs even after setting my sw buffer to 1000ms and the hardware setting back to the .6 setting.  Didn't get any dropouts with .6.

The quad DOP DSD conversion option is awesome! It's just not documented in the changlog for Mac.

I can get the quad DOP DSD conversion to work, but I can't get it to play DSD256 files. Any other experiences?
I'm using exaSound e22.

reverted to 0.6 -- crashes have stopped

0.7 also OK

I'm not sure if this is a JRemote or JRiver for Mac issue, but here goes:

Environment: Mac Mini, OSX Yosemite, 10.10.5; MC: 21.0.8.  JRemote: 3.19, 3.20 on iPhone 5S running iOS 8.3

SESSION: I use the Mac Mini as a house media center.  I awake the Mac Mini from sleep.  JRiver Media Center is default still open when computer wakes up.  I open the JRemote.  Communication is confirmed to my phone as I can see all my music, and navigate through.  I go to choose a song to play (any song).  Song attempts to play (per visual feedback on my phone), but does not actually play.  Screen on my phone shows the song I've attempted to play, seconds of songs loops thru 0:00 to approximately 0:05 seconds, and repeats back to 0:00 (FAIL).

The fix, I directly go to the app on the Mac Mini and press stop in the app using a mouse.  After that the JRemote app and JRiver are sync'd back up and I can control music using JRemote until next time I put the computer to sleep.

If this needs to be logged under JRemote instead, just let me know or repost this in that forum.

thanks

I've got a possible fix coming in the next build.  Please let us know if it works.

Thanks.

Integer mode result in distorted sound. My Dac a M2Tech Young DSD is USB Audio2.0 and works fine with Integer Mode using other players. My trial period is expired so I cannot help you more.

Integer mode result in distorted sound.

Same here with my Meridian Explorer dac, was ok before I installed El Capitan.

A single click on the application top frame thing pops MC21 from maximized (full-screen except not covering up dock or menubar) to a smaller windowed size.
[A double-click re-maximizes.]

This is really annoying, since I reflexively click once there when beginning to use any application to make sure the application has focus.

This feels like a bug to me, but if someone added it as a feature it'd be nice to know what the rationale was and if it can be disabled.

Thanks!

I believe this is actually a new OSX or ElCap feature that you can disable somewhere... I forget where exactly though.

It's an annoying issue that's existed for at least several years now - way before El Capitan was released. An option to disable double click to change the window state (or straight out disable it on OS X) would be quite helpful.

The Linux build also has this annoying issue.

Just tried this and it requires a double click to maximize for me, not a single click.  Once maximized a single click restores it.

The OSX setting for this is under System Preferences -> Dock -> 'Double click window title bar to [zoom|minimize]'.

Mine is checked and set to zoom.

Last played and number of plays is updated while MC21 is open and playing but resets as never played and 0 on relaunch or reboot.  Values are not saved to the music files or library wherever they are supposed to be saved.  Music is M4A AAC format and stored on external USB 3.0 hard disk.

When I try to rip CD's the disk isn't being detected in media center so i cannot rip. I checked in iTunes that it wasn't the CD drive.

I upgraded to El Capitan today on a Mac Mini. Afterwards output from Arcam irDAC was distorted and low volume. Switching off Integer Mode in Audio Device Settings in MC21 resolved the issue. Thanks for the other posts that pointed out the solution.

[dfortney]

going on 2 months without an update for the Mac?

[Awesome Donkey]

Patience, an update is coming.
