http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v18/latest/MediaCenter180218.dmg

18.0.218 (9/11/2013)

1. Fixed: Files view in tree would not show any files when a folder name in the path contained a bracket character '[]'.
2. Fixed: Mute for system volume was not working.

4. Fixed: Horizontal scroll direction was the opposite of the Mac 'Natural' scroll direction.
5. Changed: Web links bar is now available (Amazon, AMG, Wiki, etc.).
6. Fixed: Media Center was trying (and failing) to update at program startup. The startup check has been removed.

18.0.217 (9/9/2013)

1. Changed: When media files stored on network drives cannot be found (drive not mounted), files are no longer removed from library - just marked as unavailable.
2. Fixed: Thumbnail drawing could cause crashes on some Macs running 10.6.8 OSX (and maybe others?).
3. Changed: Re-enabled skin effects dialog since MMX functions have been rewritten to utilize SSE instructions.
4. Fixed: In Panes view, file path locations were not working as a panes category for browsing.

18.0.216 (9/5/2013)

1. Fixed: Automatic library backups were not taking place.
2. Fixed: Audio input configuration under: "Tools / Options / Audio / Advanced / Configure input plugin..."  was not working at all.
3. Fixed: System volume control was still not working with some USB DAC's (didn't make it into the last build).
4. Fixed: In Media Network options, Web Gizmo appearance option wasn't working.
5. Changed: Several options were being shown even though they didn't apply to the Mac version.

18.0.215 (8/29/2013)

1. Fixed: 'Tools' main menu option was not honoring the current file selection (would show 'No files selected').
2. Fixed: Cmd-Q now quits the application.
3. Fixed: On OSX 10.6, the Help menu was not working.
4. Fixed: Close & minimize buttons were located incorrectly in mini-view mode.
5. Fixed: System volume was not properly controlling the volume on some USB connected DAC's (i.e. Dragonfly).

18.0.214 (8/27/2013)

1. NEW: Moved application menu to the normal 'Mac' location at the top of the screen.  Still some skinning and positioning work to be done.

18.0.213 (8/21/2013)

1. Fixed: Right clicking in playback display window and choosing "Tag" would cause a crash.
2. Fixed: Filepath() was not functioning properly with user-supplied paths (e.g. filepath(//Users/johnt//foo.mp3)).
3. Fixed: Cover art in Action Window could not be copied to/from the clipboard.
4. Fixed: The "Export playlist" option to use relative paths was not working.
5. Fixed: Apparent z-order problem with auto-import results dialog: it would be invisible and cause the app to look hung.

18.0.212 (8/19/2013)

1. Changed: Improved skin looks more "Mac like".
2. Changed: Sharper text font drawing.
3. Fixed: Custom column sorting window would show up empty.
4. Fixed: MC could fail to load ID3 tag data in AIFF and WAVE files.
5. Fixed: Importing of mp4 files that had a copyright atom could cause MC to crash.

18.0.211 (7/24/2013)

1. Fixed: Semi-colon in path names could cause import to not work.
2. NEW: Audio files can be played from Finder.
3. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).
4. Fixed: DLNA bug where SetNextAVTransportURI gets called at least once even when disabled.
5. Fixed: DLNA polling interval bug, reduce chatter.
6. Changed: DLNA handle bug from some renderers which mis-spell NOT_IMPLEMENTED!
7. Changed: Dutch language translation updated (thanks bennyd).

18.0.207 (7/3/2013)

1. Fixed: Mouse scroll wheel wasn't working on OSX 10.6 systems.
2. Fixed: On OSX 10.6 systems, it would appear to hang when trying to quit the program.
3. Fixed: Downloading files larger than 2GB could fail.
4. Changed: Tuned how the time remaining is reported in the Action Window during downloads (to work better with large downloads and to be more concise).
5. Fixed: Album and artist fields in "Podcast tag and file renaming rules" now work as expected.
6. Fixed: Ogg Vorbis now fills its compression field with "Ogg Vorbis".
7. Fixed: When converting some FLAC files to ogg, it will no longer tag as "ogv"

18.0.206 (6/28/2013)

1. Fixed: Bold and Italic modes chosen in font picking dialog did not get used.
2. Fixed: Font picking dialog did not initialize to the current font settings.
3. Fixed: Text was unreadable in disabled text edit fields.
4. Fixed: Once Cover View was selected, the top line of the display with the 'leave cover view' button was inaccessible so you couldn't exit cover view.

18.0.202 (6/24/2013)

1. Fixed: Some ALAC files (e.g. those produced by 'Sound Studio 3') were not playable because of a strange looking 'alac' mp4 atom.  We now ignore the strange data.
2. Fixed: Media Center was not honoring the typeface chosen in the font picking dialog.

18.0.201 (6/21/2013)

1. Fixed: Trackpad scrolling did not support the fine scrolling mode, so it was difficult to scroll to a particular item in a list.
2. Fixed: Web page titles on tabs were showing extraneous text.
3. NEW: Support for choosing text fonts using the Options dialog 'Select font...' item under Tree & View.
4. Fixed: Tag saving to APE files was not working (Mac only).
5. Changed: Switched the default audio buffering method to 'Hardware default' to work better with devices that don't properly support hardware buffer size changes (configurable in Options > Audio > Output mode settings...).
6. Fixed: Typing into the Search box could cause crashes when a MC Windows library had been transferred to Mac and it contained long field values (e.g. Lyrics field).
7. Changed: When a file has no Replay Gain, a Replay Gain of -10dB will be used if no other files in Playing Now are analyzed (otherwise the average of analyzed files is used).

18.0.197 (6/14/2013)

1. Fixed: Options dialog could a crash if volume mode was set to disabled.
2. Fixed: Periodic freeze-ups in the DLNA servers (build 196 only).

18.0.196 (6/13/2013)

1. Fixed: SSDP server would die after a varying period of time.

18.0.195 (6/11/2013)

1. Fixed: Library server syncing was not working from a Windows client to a Mac server.
2. NEW: Added support for OGG input format.
3. Changed: Car Radio automatically cleans up duplicate static playlists that used the same index.
4. Changed: SSDP advertisement could hard kill the advertiser in some cases, leaving sockets and/or the internet layer in an undefined state.
5. Fixed: Small icons could draw too large in a details list in some cases.
6. Changed: Basic HTML text formatting tokens like < b >, < font >, < u >, etc. will be supported in almost all text drawing (previously they only worked in some areas of the program).
7. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).
8. Changed: When switching tracks that require a hardware stop / start like on a sample rate change, the startup silence option will be honored (silence will be maximum of between track gap and startup silence gap).
9. Fixed: Temp files created for .wvc files are now renamed to their final name when done when encoding Wavpack.
10. Fixed: Empty temp files are no longer created when encoding lossless Wavpack.  
11. Changed: Wavpack files now display compression information.  
12. Changed: When acting as a DLNA renderer, Media Center will use "error free" mode so that playback errors won't cause message boxes to display (since the controller is normally in a different place).

I was helping a user remotely, and found some more issues which may be troublesome for new users:

1. Fill Filename From Properties does not work correctly, due to / and \ issues.

2. Filefolder(,0) etc. does not work correctly

These two problems makes it difficult for users to pull from their file names (e.g. their iTunes libraries) and this is especially problematic for WAV users where iTunes doesn't tags with values.

I was able to work around the problem online by using regex to pull from the file path, but not many users will be able to do this.

3. When a dialog is open in MC, MC cannot be easily brough to the foreground.  If you click anywhere but in the dialog's real estate, MC doesn't see the click and it goes to the app beneath (often hiding MC).   So even though you might be able to partially see some of MC, clicking on it just brings forward other apps.

Every time I scroll a file list or categories view a couple of items, MC hangs and is unresponsive.

MC is still crashing when attempting to convert multiple files. It converted two just fine at first, then it crashed when I tried to do an album. It now fails when I try to convert anything more than one track.

I'm crashing after a few seconds of opening no matter what I do (or if I don't do anything)... tried downgrading to .216 and now that won't run either.  Tried rebooting and re-downloading & re-installing.  

How do I get a crash log again?  I thought it was under file...  Or do you want the apple crash log?

[update] I stopped the crashing by creating a new (empty) library and loading that first, then switching back to my main library.  

Now, however, tagging anything - clicking tag on the left under actions or right-clicking - causes a crash.

[update 2] I tried importing everything into the new (empty) library and I get a crash before it's finished.  I'm left with iTunes for the time being :(

Still crashes when search under files/artist.
ate/Time:       2013-09-12 19:50:39 -0400
OS Version:      10.9 (Build 13A569) ...
I can't reproduce this here.  One thing I noticed is that you're running OSX 10.9 (Mavericks pre-release?).  We don't have that version running here.  Do you have another Mac to test on which is running 10.8.5 or less?  Also, please send a log file to johnt at jriver dot com (Help -> Logging...).

Are you guys part of Apple's Mac OS X Developer Program? It only costs $99 per year and that way your prepared for the new os release when it hits the market.

Like its predecessors it loses the connection to the DAC over the network and then won't close 'normally'

I'd list the whole error log below (all of it was sent to Apple) but it is many times larger than the 12K limit.

Strange (and tiny issue) since built 18.0.217 : all windows of default "Noire" skin are tinted in red (see attached pictures).
I rolled back to built 18.0.216 and the issue is gone. What's strange also is that only one of my two macbook pros is affected by the problem, both are running MAC OSX 10.8.4.

This one is affected :

Model Name:   MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:   MacBookPro5,5
  Processor Name:   Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:   2,26 GHz
  Number of Processors:   1
  Total Number of Cores:   2
  L2 Cache:   3 MB
  Memory:   8 GB
  Bus Speed:   1,07 GHz
  Boot ROM Version:   MBP55.00AC.B03
  SMC Version (system):   1.47f2


This other one, not :

Model Name:   MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier:   MacBookPro8,2
  Processor Name:   Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed:   2 GHz
  Number of Processors:   1
  Total Number of Cores:   4
  L2 Cache (per Core):   256 KB
  L3 Cache:   6 MB
  Memory:   4 GB
  Boot ROM Version:   MBP81.0047.B27
  SMC Version (system):   1.69f4

Please, let me know if you need to know anything else to solve the problem. Thanks

It looks like you have a skin effect turned on.

You can turn it off in the main menu under View > Skin > Skin Effects.

Solution was so obvious. Sorry about that.

Hi
I downloaded the 18.0.218 (9/11/2013) and have it installed in my mac mini (Mac Mini 2011 mid 2.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5  8G RAM 1333 MHz DDR3  500G HDD  Mac OSX Lion)
But i cannot use it as it keeps kicking me out of the programme after each 10 second.
I uninstalled and reinstalled again but same problem coming out.
Please advise.

Sounds like you've got what I've got.  I have sent John an error log... maybe do the same?

So I bring up 218 and select an album to play from the panes window.

The I 'play' the album and immediately the spinning beach ball starts a whirl'n.

It doesn't stop, so I have to force quit MC because its locked up.

I go back in and the album I selected never got to the network player window.

So I select it again and then 'play' the album.

And the PWD DAC is locked up and MC goes into the spinning beach ball when I stop it playing the album.

After a minute or 2 it recovers and the DAC is back up, and this time it plays.

Go figure.

EDIT and then after 4 tracks MC looses its connection to the DAC…
Restart, again.

I restart MC and it comes back up with another error.
So I restart the Mac and the router.

I start playing the track where I left off and it does the 5 sec un-happy dance.

I restart MC again and this time it plays.

Are you running other DLNA server programs on the same computer, such as eLyric?  We have another user that had similar problems until they disabled eLyric and a Logitech server program:

Yes, like Peter_T said, please send a log file to johnt at jriver dot com.  In Peter's case, it appears to be one of the custom library fields causing a problem, but from your description it sounds like a new install with an empty library, it that right?

Here's a weird bug I didn't think merited its own new topic. Situation:

- VMWare Fusion running, which makes for weird keyboard action, I know
- Caps Lock on in VM (which means that caps is not on in OS X)
- Going back to MC, hitting Cmd+2 (to bounce in and out of mini view) actually rates the track instead. Caps lock off, and you're ok, but it's like MC sees caps lock as a shift press. Any other hotkey that requires shift+modifier key appears to have the same behavior. (I tried testing it out but I couldn't remember many hotkeys.)

Just an FYI weird little thing.

Short answer, no.

This is the only audio function on this computer.  It uses either the MC DLNA or USB but not both at the same time.

I gave up on EMM last year, it didn't work very well at all.

MC 18.0.218 hangs on OS X 10.8.4 but runs fine under 10.8.5.  Unfortunately 10.8.5  is a no-go because of hard drive sleep issues.    So back to MC 18.0.215 under 10.8.4 until Apple fixes the last update or you guys make another MC rev that runs under 10.8.4.

I am running the latest s/w and f/w.
I have also performed a master reset (like clearing the BIOS, only more so).

Hi all.  I have been using JRiver MC 18 for PC for a while now and liked it so much I got the MAC version for my parents.  I originally got the trial version to make sure it would work for their system.  Once that ran out, I purchased the MAC MC 19 license for $50.  Meanwhile I can't get the license to connect with their version.  It keeps saying something along the lines of, "license successfully installed."  But I can't get their version of MC to actually run.  I downloaded the most updated MAC version (18.0.218) and the license key is MC 19 but supposedly it will work with their version of MC.

I am not really a MAC guy.  Sure there is an easy fix but it I tinkered with it for over 30 min and may even have used up quite a few license re-newals.

Anyone have any pointers so I can get them up and running?

Thanks for your purchase and welcome to the forum.  I don't see a Mac license for your e-mail address.

Crash when adding to an existing playlist.
When dragging a song from the album list screen to a playlist showing in the panel on the right side, MC will crash and ask to send a report to Apple.  Happens 1 out of 5 tries.

I regularly seem to lose connection to MC 218 from JRemote

Need to restart MC (multiple times) to restore/resolve; haven't had any issues with the previous releases ?
