Media Center 21.0.48 for Windows -- Available here
« on: February 15, 2016, 10:09:43 am »

This is the latest version of MC21.  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/MediaCenter210048.exe

21.0.48 (2/12/2016)

1. Changed: It takes half as much flick to switch images as before.
2. NEW: In standard television EPG view, the date column display format is configurable.  Right click the Date column header to choose.  "All Programs" and "To Be Recorded" views share the same setting, and "Recordings" view is configured separately.
3. Fixed: "Get Movie & TV Info" lookup by Episode Name was broken in recent builds.
4. Changed: Updated the Chinese translation (thanks SunYanJun!).
5. Fixed: Using the Tag Action Window could crash.

21.0.47 (2/11/2016)

1. Changed: If a web link doesn't have a search URL specified, it will fall back to the base URL for navigation.
2. Changed: Reverted the web links version back to 1.2 so custom links won't be erased. Note: If you have custom links, in order to apply fixes made to broken links, you will need to select "Reset All Links To Default" from the Manage Links dialog.

21.0.46 (2/10/2016)

1. Fixed: Lists that didn't support grouping could still get grouped if the parent list was grouped.
2. Changed: Clicking a Blu-ray or DVD in Theater View will give a menu of choices instead of just playing.
3. Fixed: TV Subscription could record a show that had already been recorded, if the repeat airing had a different duration (typical of sports games).
4. Changed: The filename is no longer added to custom tooltips (customized with the Tooltip field).  Just add [Filename] if you want it.
5. NEW: "Season", "Episode", "Rule ID", and "Rule Name" can be optionally displayed in Standard view EPG views ("All Programs", "To Be Recorded", and "Recordings").  Default is to show them all.  Right-click any column header to choose which ones to display.  Also "Recording Rules" view show recording rule ID along side recording rule name.
6. Changed: Updated the FFmpeg version used for file analysis and transcoding.
7. Changed: Greatly improved the quality of AAC audio in transcoded video files.
8. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
9. NEW: Theater View flow lists (stacks of rotated images) support the mouse wheel for scrolling.
10. Fixed: The Rotten Tomatoes link was broken. (Warning: if you have custom links, this change will erase them)
11. NEW: Added a Wikipedia link to the video section which will search for entries relating to a selected video title.
12. NEW: Videos with the subtype 'Music' can be looked up on the Get Movie & TV Info tool.
13. NEW: The 'Load / Save View' menu has a delete option to delete a given view.
14. NEW: Added a 3840x2160 UHD/4K preset for DLNA and Library Server client image conversion.
15. Fixed: Analyzer DSP would go away after loading a DSP preset at a track transition.
16. Fixed: Sometimes when ripping a compilation CD, tracks would go to separate folders rather than a single '(Multiple Artists)/<album name>' folder.
17. Changed: Television programs that are entirely covered in the padding of adjacent to be recorded programs will not be marked as "to be recorded".

21.0.45 (2/4/2016)

1. Changed: Added a time-out user configuration for EPG loading when running an external XMLTV application inside MC (previously we used a hard-coded 20 minutes value).
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
3. Changed: When playback is set for an external program on video files, thumbnailing still uses the internal engine (previously it wouldn't thumbnail).
4. Changed: Television entries in the database can be run through the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.
5. Changed: When picking "Fill Track Numbers From List Order" with only one track selected it will set the track number to one instead of complaining that two tracks need to be selected.
6. Fixed: When certain TV errors occurred, the tuner was not released properly.
7. (Possibly) Fixed: When multiple TV recordings start at the same time on CableCARD tuners MC could hang.
8. Changed: Files marked as "Short" can be looked up with the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.
9. NEW: Added an "Eject disc" command to the Theater View disc tool selection menu.

21.0.44 (2/2/2016)

1. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
2. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč!).
3. Fixed: The new tag Action Window didn't blink.
4. Changed: A little more sophisticated fix for the subtitle cropping problem.

21.0.43 (1/29/2016)

1. Fixed: 3D visualizations could still show images upside down sometimes.
2. Fixed: Text based subtitles could draw cropped by one letter with certain fonts.

21.0.42 (1/28/2016)

1. Fixed: There was an unwanted text dimensions change in build 41.

21.0.41 (1/28/2016)

1. Fixed: The WDM driver was not properly signed since 21.0.37.
2. Fixed: Parsing DTS WAV files could fail.
3. Changed: Made the TV engine a little more crash-resistant.
4. Fixed: TV recording failure was not handled properly.
5. Changed: Updated Korean translation (thanks Junghwan!).
6. Fixed: The 3d visualization could have images upside down if the rotation flag was set.
7. Fixed: It wasn't possible to create a playlist group called "Downloaded" because of conflict with Doctor Who playlists.
8. Fixed: Thread was hard killed on MC exit if a Doctor Who background process was running at time of shutdown.

21.0.40 (1/26/2016)

1. NEW: Added the expression function Literal(...) that just outputs the text that's in parenthesis (useful for making a readable block of code).
2. Changed: The Playing Now roller item is shown on the top roller when in playlists (previously it only showed in the library).
3. Changed: Restoring a library with the restore library and restore settings checkboxes both un-checked will show an error message and not continue.
4. Changed: When running "Get Movie & TV Info..." in automatic mode (multiple file selection), MC re-tries on failure by resetting episode number and or season number.
5. Fixed: Clearing Playing Now from the right-click menu with something playing would take a long time if there was a big prebuffer setting and a fadeout on stop mode.
6. Changed: Improved TV guide data by importing these fields (if present in xmltv file): writers, presenters, aspect ratio.  Improved TV/Movie rating tag by distinguishing MPAA rating and MPAA rating advisaries.
7. Changed: If guide data file indicates that a show is an HDTV show, "HDTV" is added to keywords field.
8. Changed: When MC tries to determine whether a program has been previously recorded, or already scheduled to record, Program ID trumps everything else (such as program title, series title) that a user specified to compare.
9. Fixed: Using a Custom Advanced video mode could cause stream and subtitle selection to be unavailable.
10. Fixed: Restoring the tree with Help > Check for Updates wouldn't redraw properly.
11. Changed: MC will always compare dates when encountering "previously-shown" element in an xmltv file to determine whether a show is a re-run, if the "start" attribute is present.  Previously re-run is assumed if "previously-shown" is present, without regard to the "start" attribute.
12. Changed: If "date" element is not found for a program in an xmltv file, but "previously-shown" "start" attribute is found, the latter is saved in "Date" field.
13. Changed: "OriginalAirDate" in PercData EPG files is saved in MC's "Date" field when loading PercData data.
14. Fixed: Installing licenses wasn't working on XP since the switch to Visual Studio 2015.
15. Changed: Updated the Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).

21.0.39 (1/21/2016)

1. Changed: For television recording rule setup, integer comparison is allowed for [Season] field.  Now one can set up rules that allow recording of a series with [Season] higher than 15, or [Season] is higher than 8 and lower than 12, etc.
2. Fixed: Mixed artist albums would display as multiple albums on library server clients that didn't use the same directory separator as the server.
3. Changed: DVB-S tuner type is enabled for all countries on Television Setup wizard.
4. Fixed: Text spacing could be off a little in build 38.
5. Changed: Mouse wheel in television playback is handled in the same way as in video file playback.  Mouse wheel without CTRL or SHIFT key skips forward/backward.  Mouse wheel with SHIFT or CTRL key down zooms video.
6. Changed: In Theater view television guide, shows that are to be recorded as part of a subscription will have an orange circle in front of the show name, in stead of a read circle for one-time recordings.
7. Changed: The behavior of pressing record button on remote control in Theater view televsion guide is changed.  If the show has not been scheduled to be recorded yet, pressing the record button sets the show to be recorded.  Pressing the button on a show already scheduled for one-time recording changes the one-time recording to a subscription.  Pressing the button on a show scheduled for subscription cancels the subscription.
8. Changed: The Unswap expression function understands Jr., Sr., etc. and does the unswapping special when those are present.

21.0.38 (1/18/2016)

1. NEW: Added "Season" to television recording rule setup.
2. Fixed: Some music channels from some cable providers played intermittently when played near live position.
3. NEW: Added a MCWS function File/SetImage to set the image for a file (base 64 encoded image as the image parameter).
4. Fixed: Processing the previous and next file would cause the desktop to blink.
5. Fixed: Cover art embedded in FLAC files wouldn't always be found.
6. Fixed: The OSD would switch between "Shifted 1 seconds" and "Live" when playing TV close to live.
7. Changed: Added the PlaylistType parameter to the Playback/PlayPlaylist command so that it's possible to start playback by a playlist name instead of playlist ID.
8. Fixed: The Theater View News plugin could draw with a really big gap on the left with high resolution displays (only maybe fixed so testing appreciated).
9. NEW: Added MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_VIDEO_ZOOM (28038) to set the zoom for a playing video.
10. Changed: When starting Play Doctor playback from a right-click "More Play Options" on the current file, it will play out and then the results will play.

21.0.37 (1/14/2016)

1. Fixed: The Digital Signature of Media Center was invalid since January 1st (only affects builds 21.0.31 and newer).

21.0.36 (1/13/2016)

1. Changed: When a search for television programs in Standard view does not find any programs, the text message in the Programs window is changed to "Search did not find any matching programs" instead of "Double-click here to set up a program guide."  Double-clicking will do nothing.
2. Changed: Made the OS detection function log what the two OS versions are if they're different before showing the message.
3. NEW: ">>" and "<<" keys on remote control shift Theater View television guide to the right (left) 24 hours.
4. Fixed: Panes display wasn't obeying the selected expression to display selected in Edit Category.

8. Changed: Files marked as "Short" can be looked up with the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.

This automatically ran in the background after updating from 21.0.43 on all videos already tagged with media sub-type=short.  I had a lot of these already in the library, with no descriptions or cover art.  It got a few right, but most wrong, and some couldn't match so no change was made.  It took a while to remove all the incorrect cover art, descriptions, actors, directors, and other tags.  (Remove Tags didn't remove anything).

This didn't happen to music videos though.  I have those tagged with media sub-type=Music Video, and all of them already had manually applied descriptions and cover art.

Just upgraded from 21.0.45 and it no longer automatically analyzes audio for video after recording a TV program.   

Running MC as client only on WIN7 and as server on remote WIN7 machine.

If popup transparency is disabled and skin inversion is enabled, the colors are not inverted for the popup.
