Media Center 21.0.81 for Windows -- Available here

Download: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v21/latest/MediaCenter210081.exe

21.0.81 (5/11/2016)

1. Fixed: The Media Editor could get stuck in a loop running itself over and over if the previous shutdown resulted in a hang.
2. Fixed: Opening a second file in Media Editor while it was still loading a first file would cause strange results.
3. Fixed: Theater View background loading wasn't looking at the sidecar paths properly.
4. NEW: An option to load default library at start up.

21.0.80 (5/9/2016)

1. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).

2. NEW: Preliminary support for Sat>IP television devices.  Work in progress, totally untested.
3. Changed: MCWS responses use a more standard Content-Type header to improve compatibility with some web service clients.
4. Fixed: Sorting wouldn't work right in an expression based pane if the expression to display was empty.
5. NEW: Added Options > General > Advanced > Support extra long filenames (experimental) as a way to remove the bounds checking from the path at import time.

21.0.77 (5/4/2016)

1. Fixed: The sorting on an expression based pane would be wacky.
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
3. Fixed: Inverting the tooltip wouldn't work properly when the popup transparency was disabled.
4. Fixed: The player window could draw a little funny when mouse wheeling to change the volume and then the display switching back.
5. Fixed: When there was no free tuner, switching television channel while watching might end up with "no tuner available" error if the channel being switched to did not prefer the current tuner.
6. Changed: Podcasts only add the comment to the tooltip if it's different than the description (which gets added earlier).
7. Changed: When clicking the Recently Imported toolbar button when there is no Recently Imported playlist will show a message box instead of just doing nothing.
8. Changed: Then made the Recently Imported toolbar button gray out when there's no Recently Imported playlist.
9. Fixed: When setting up "Record by Time" in Theater view, edited Program Name was not reflected on the "Program Name: *****" button.
10. Changed: For television recording setup dialogs in Theater view, eliminated some "Cancel" buttons and renamed some "Cancel" buttons to "Skip (abandon current change)" or "Skip (abandon current changes)" or "Skip (abandon changes to settings)".  
11. Fixed: Mouse wheeling a list edit field would instead mouse wheel the list behind and stop the editing.
12. Fixed: 32-bit extensible WAV files wouldn't play properly (could cause convolution trouble).

21.0.76 (4/27/2015)

1. Changed: Skin DSP effects are no longer applied to the small images in a list (but still should be applied to checkboxes, etc.).
2. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč!).
3. NEW: Double-click on the media server tray icon will show Media Center.
4. Fixed: The 'Export to iTunes & iPhone' dialog didn't scale nicely on high DPI.

21.0.75 (4/19/2016)

1. Changed: The sidecar cover art for music in Theater View should be [Album].jpg or [Artist].jpg instead of [Name].jpg.
2. Fixed: 32-bit integer WAV files wouldn't play properly.

21.0.74 (4/19/2016)

1. Changed: The applied DSP effect like inversion, etc. will get applied to the checkmark and other small icons drawn in the lists.
2. Changed: Theater View television recording setup dialogs are changed from wizard (step by step) style to single dialog style.
3. Changed: The TVInfo(WatchedDisplay) expression will show a watched percentage based on the bookmark in more cases.

5. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).

2. Fixed: The search section of the JRMark got unintentionally slower starting in 21.0.39.

21.0.72 (4/13/2016)

1. Changed: The search suggestion box won't hide when the focus is in the search box (even if the mouse moves a lot or is a long ways away).
2. Changed: Made one more deletion in the cover art cleanup stage use the recycle bin instead of hard delete.

21.0.71 (4/12/2016)

1. Changed: Made the cover art cleanup function use the recycle bin instead of hard deleting the files.
2. Changed: Made the shortcut for clearing the rating Ctrl+Shift+Delete because Ctrl+Shift+0 gets eaten on newer copies of Windows.
3. NEW: A "Recording by time" option in Theater View to schedule television recording based on channel and time.
4. Fixed: If default recording option "Cleanup mode" was set at "keep at most N episodes", and a recording was scheduled as a non-subscription recording, the "keep at most N episodes" options was still applied by default, even though it made no sense for non-subscription recordings.  Now the option will switch to "Keep forever".
5. NEW: Added a "Playable" field that's a checkbox and when unchecked a file will no longer add to Playing Now.

21.0.70 (4/8/2016)

1. Fixed: When shuffle is set to automatic, it won't reshuffle at the end of the playlist unless it passes the automatic testing gate.
2. NEW: Ctrl+I now shows the playing file in Theater View as well.
3. NEW: Added support for .flac16 and .flac24 files.
4. Changed: Switched the limit for calculating all the volume leveling information from 10,000 tracks to 50,000 tracks.
5. Fixed: Copying from the Media Network activity log could be a little touch and go.

21.0.69 (4/5/2016)

1. NEW: Copying from the Media Network Activity log works (fills the clipboard with the item text).
2. NEW: Pressing Ctrl+I will jump the list to the playing song (if it's in the list).
3. Fixed: Fixed a little misspelling on the EPG window.
4. Changed: Switched a couple lowpass type entries to low-pass instead.
5. NEW: Remade the Thunderstorm skin so it's better on Mac and better on high DPI.
6. Changed: Dividers draw a little bigger on high DPI.
7. Changed: Tuned the layout of the "Customize Display" dialog to hopefully work better on some displays.
8. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).

21.0.68 (4/4/2016)

1. Fixed: On Television property page, if "Recording default - Cleanup mode" was set to "Keep forever", the setting would revert to "Keep at most set number of episodes".  This only applies in build 21.0.67.
2. Changed: On Television property page, the "Recording default - Days to keep" or "Recording default - Episodes to keep" is enabled only if relevant option is selected in "Recording default - Cleanup mode", to avoid confusion.
3. Fixed: The FixCase() expression function was slow in 21.0.67.

5. Fixed: The player setup dialog sizes a little better (especially on high DPI).

4. Fixed: In recent builds Hauppauge HD PVR/Colossus series of devices could crash in some circumstances.
5. Changed: Most television recording defaults can be set on television properties page (instead of having to use the "Save settings as default" button on recording wizard).
6. Fixed: Playback could stall with a black screen after the movie ends on DVDs without a menu.
7. Fixed: Removing a rule from a Smartlist would sometimes leave the dialog in a funny state.

21.0.66 (3/25/2016)

1. Changed: Added more logging for CableCARD television tuners.
2. Fixed: Hidden tree items don't get reshown as a search result in Options.
3. Fixed: The minimum size of the Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool wasn't big enough on high DPI.
4. Changed: Updated the Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
5. Fixed: Shifting Text Subtitles up did not work properly in all cases.
6. Fixed: GroupCount(...) (and other file group based expressions) didn't work properly when outputting the playlist.

21.0.65 (3/23/2016)

1. Changed: Subtitles can be shifted down a bit further to the edge of the screen.
2. Fixed: Manually updating television guide data using EPG wizard failed in some cases.

3. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
4. Fixed: Pasting cover art from the clipboard didn't clear the image height and width fields like other setting of the cover art.
5. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
6. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
7. Fixed: Revert change from 21.0.54 that resulted in extra calls to get the volume of DLNA devices which could make the GUI sluggish with slow responding devices.

21.0.63 (3/20/2016)

1. Changed: Added some crash prevention measures in television engine involving CableCARD tuners.
2. Fixed: Cover art "Get From Internet" could crash since 21.0.61.

21.0.62 (3/18/2016)

1. Changed: Updated the default podcast feeds (thanks for the help!) (right-click Podcasts in the tree and pick Add Default Feeds).
2. Fixed: Doctor Who playlist post-processing was running too often and wasn't canceling properly so could cause a deadlock.
3. Fixed: No video on screen for Hauppauge HD PVR series of devices since build 56.

21.0.61 (3/18/2016)

1. Changed: Text Subtitles are rendered with proper Anti-Aliasing.

My MC policy setting for auto update is set to "Stable (recommended)" so yesterday got 21.00.80, but now reverted to version 21.00.76 again which belong to group of "Stable (recommended)", and reason is sound stream quality degrade to lifeless for 21.00.80. Normal my stereo system setup seems can hear into recording room and think sound is very good on "Stable (recommended)" versions 21.00.23/50/76. Version 21.00.80 breaks pattern and will wait to see how next "Staple (recommended)" version perform in this manner. To back up claims can say it happen on two physical Win7 computers running MC, but they very different on hardware one is AMD platform with ASUS STX II 7.1 soundcard, the other is Intel platform with M-Audio AP192 soundcard. Don't expect benchmark system under new 21.00.80 with measurements would reveal anything, but if future versions go same cold sound picture will have to look into MC buffer settings / Asio buffer settings / system memory settings to get sound stream quality back again. Hope alright to post here as for me its a bug : )

Hi Guys, after upgrading from 21.0.76 to the latest version of 21.0.81 its seems the font colour of the text and menu's has changed from deep grey almost charcoal to lighter grey, which does not contrast that well with the white background. I also get the feeling that the font has changed. Please advise if this is the case or am I losing it  ?

Dankie/Thank you

Streaming via UPNP to Simaudio Moon 380 MIND seem to be brocken with this Version . It plays the song but shows "waiting" in the desktop headline.

21.0.78 (5/6/2016)

1. Fixed: A little better fix for the 32-bit extensible WAV file issue.

When I mark several movie clips in Windows Explorer and right-click "play in Media Center"
MC21 only plays ONE clip, not all of them in a row

That worked some time ago perfectly

Thanks

I can't reproduce that.  I pick some movies in Explorer, pick "Play in Media Center" and all of them populate in Playing Now just like I'd expect.

Works for me too.

Do you by chance have "Repeat playing current item" turned on instead of "Repeat playing now" ?

I just bought the MC21/22 upgrade license, after using MC20 for a long time.  Is there no simple way to upgrade directly from MC20 to MC21, ie. do I need to manually install the new version & configure again every single detail (libraries, views etc.) again?

You really should have started a new thread to ask.

The simple answer is;
If you have already installed MC22, then run MC20 and make sure it is working correctly. Play some stuff. Then backup MC20 manually using the "File>Library>Back Up library" function, and save it to a location you will remember.
Install MC22, or if you have already done that, run MC22 and see that it is functional. Make sure you stop the automatic Auto-Import during the 45 second (I think) countdown timer. You do not want MC22 to import your media.
Restore the backup you made above, making sure that the two check boxes are ticked so that the Library, Playlists, and Settings get restored.
Close and restart MC22 just to be sure, then you should have everything back in MC22 that you had in MC20.

Notes:
There may be some new settings and functionality that you will need to address. For example, depending on your Cover Art settings, you may need to copy some Cover Art file from MC20 to MC22.
I recommend rebooting your PC after installing MC22, so that everything is loaded clean.
If you run MC20 again after doing this, you will get a Windows UAC prompt asking permission for MC to install stuff. This is normal, as it is setting its version of files to be run. You should let it do that.
While you can leave MC20 ad MC22 installed, if you switch between them you will have the UAC prompt every time. Better to uninstall MC20 once you are happy with MC22. To do that, run MC20 first, then uninstall it. Reboot. Then run MC22 again.

If you need to ask more questions, start a new thread to do so. This thread is for bug reports, as per the first post.
