22.0.15 (8/4/2016)

1. Changed: The duplicates of smartlist editors now translate the list of field names.
2. Fixed: The option to hide empty values in the File Info template of Theater View would show the template if it was in a font block even if there was no text in the font.
3. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
4. Fixed: The string "Empty (click here to configure)" couldn't be translated.
5. Fixed: Theater View slideshows would stall on the cover art in the folder.

22.0.14 (8/1/2016)

1. Changed: Made the MP4 plugin use the memory reading option added recently.
2. Changed: Made the OGG plugin also use the memory reading option.
3. Changed: Made the right-click menu on video files include the "Tag" entry like it does for audio files.
4. Changed: The memory reading stuff has a hard cap at 1.5 GB (since that's all we'd be able to allocate anyway).
5. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
6. Fixed: License installation could fail on some systems with international characters in user names.

22.0.13 (7/27/2016)

3. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks bytestar!).
4. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
5. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
6. Changed: In bda TV (i.e. ATSC and DVB) if the stream matching TV channel's video PID is categorized as "other", MC will try forcing it to "video" (experimental, for H.265/HEVC support).
7. Fixed: The Settings HTML page for Panel was not loading in Windows
8. Fixed: Importing a single folder could analyze the audio even if that wasn't selected.
9. Fixed: CableCARD tuners were not fully released upon stopping in build 12.

22.0.12 (7/21/2016)

1. Changed: Made the WAV and AIFF plugin support the memory playback added last build.
2. Fixed: Audio format was set incorrectly for TV channels using RAW AAC format.
3. Fixed: Right-clicking on live DVB TV would cause a crash.  This is related to the "Audio Programs" menu added in build 22.0.9.
4. Fixed: CD ripping was broken in build 22.0.11.

22.0.11 (7/20/2016)

1. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks bytestar!).
2. NEW: Added "Options > Audio > Load files to memory at the start of playback" to totally load a file into memory when playback starts (works with APE, FLAC, MP3 -- others to follow).
3. Fixed: Computer could sleep during CD/DVD ripping.

22.0.10 (7/15/2016)

1. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Changed: Hidden zones no longer show up in the link to menu.
3. Fixed: Google Image lookup wasn't working.

22.0.9 (7/14/2016)

1. NEW: Context menu "Audio Programs" to select a different audio program on the same DVB (this already exists for ATSC) TV channel.
2. Changed: The way that LinkedZones were reported by MCWS changed (unintentionally) recently so we switched it back.
3. Changed: Added the option "Lookup cover art for files that have no cover art at playback time" so that you can disable cover art lookup (and made it off by default).
4. NEW: Settings pages in Panel for Windows.
5. Fixed: MC could show channel-changing confirmation popup (under certain user configurations) erroneously when changing between ATSC channels.

22.0.8 (7/13/2016)

1. Changed: The "Link To Playlist" menu on Car Radio buttons is now nested and sorted.
2. Fixed: The launcher wasn't working and launching MC while the server was running wouldn't work.

22.0.7 (7/11/2016)

1. Fixed: Tooltips could show the previous tooltip for a split second when they first showed.
2. NEW: Right-click Car Radio buttons to link to an existing playlist.
3. NEW: Holding shift while setting the volume of a linked zone will set the volume for all the zones.
4. NEW: "Panel" which is a new web interface.  Take a look at http://localhost:52199 (or whatever port you have configured in 'Media Networking').

22.0.6 (7/7/2016)

1. Changed: Added some TV Log entries related to background EPG loading.
2. Fixed: Opening locally available Data files from a Library Server would still attempt to download them in some situations.
3. NEW: When exporting all the playlists, it now asks for a format (m3u or m3u8).
4. NEW: The function MCWS/v1/Library/Import has a new parameter "Block" to tell the function to wait until the import finishes to return.
5. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks bytestar!).
6. Fixed: When syncing to a handheld device, tracks with same name but a different disc number are now treated as distinct files.  Previously they were weeded out as duplicates.
7. NEW: Added a confirmation message to entering audio only mode to confirm that you really wanted to do that.
8. NEW: When playing a file that has no cover art, the cover art will be automatically downloaded from the internet.

22.0.5 (6/30/2016)

1. Changed: When the IPC stream is played for WDM driver playback, it won't create a Recent Playing Now entry.
2. Fixed: The WDM driver was still version 21.
3. Changed: Switched the "Show all values" cap for the Tag window from 50 values to 1000 values.
4. Changed: DVB channels marked as scrambled are no longer excluded because some channels that are free and non-DRM'ed do have this flag set.
5. Fixed: Equalizer DSP was showing values slightly different than what the user chose for decibel adjustment.

22.0.4 (6/28/2016)

1. Changed: Tooltips can be 80% of the screen height instead of 50%.
2. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks bytestar!).
3. Fixed: If cover art for a CD was modified by user prior to ripping, the ripped track could replace the cover art with something from YADB.
4. Fixed: The new tag window could crash when editing in certain scenarios.
5. Fixed: TV Channels' custom ordering was not retained during library and settings upgrade from version 21.
6. Changed: TV channels' custom ordering will be included as part of settings backup/restore.

22.0.3 (6/24/2016)

1. Fixed: Check for Updates wasn't working.

22.0.2 (6/24/2016)

1. NEW: Single albums are detected and the album type field will show "Single album".
2. Fixed: ATSC over-the-air EPG scan was hard to cancel (took too long, or hang).
3. Fixed: A timer was running repeatedly for nothing when TV engine scans for channels or for OTA EPG programs.
4. NEW: Preliminary support of HD television channels that use H.265/HEVC video encoding.
5. Changed: Further work on SoX resampling to improve reliablity and delay handling.
6. Fixed: Link fields wouldn't work outside audio views.
7. Fixed: Libraries wouldn't migrate from MC21 (might require a fresh install for it to happen).

22.0.1 (6/23/2016)

1. NEW: Fields can be configured as "Linkable" so that they'll show the little link icon next to them.
2. NEW: You can analyze the audio when doing the import of a single folder.
3. Fixed: TV Logs message for a critical error was not properly formatted.
4. Fixed: MCWS/v1/Files/Current would crash at the root of Theater View.
5. Changed: MC will reset EPG loading timestamps on startup if it detects previous incomplete EPG loading due to crash or other failures.  This way previously failed loading will restart as soon as possible.
6. NEW: The SoX resampler can be enabled in Options > Audio to handle all your resampling needs.

Not sure if this is a bug..

I have two zones linked, spdif out and Chromecast Audio. When in Playing Now and I click on a car radio button for internet radio, I get an error screen. I can switch to other car radio buttons fine, but internet radio reproduces the error screen.

"Linked Zones only support audio playback.

Would you like to unlink the zone and continue playback?"

Would you be willing to send me a library backup so I'd have a copy of your Car Radio buttons?

I did just try setting a Car Radio button to be a radio station and then I linked a couple zones and pressed the button and it worked fine.

Thanks.

There weren't any changes to the encoding, so it's kind of pointless.

I did just find a problem in the 4.17 SDK, so I'll need to update that and then we'll get MC updated as well.

In version 22.0.15, I cannot seek during playback of ogg files with the "Load files to memory at the start of playback" option checked.  When the option is unchecked, seeking works.  This is not an issue with playback of mp3 files.

A minor issue to report.  Help > New / Improved This Version... takes you to New Features in MC21 instead of MC22.

Email sent. It ends up this error is caused by the top radio station in the list cannot be cast to the Chromecast Audio. For some reason these stations will not play to the CCA:

Psychedeliced Radio (http:/199.58.160.146:8006) and Latesurf Psychedelic Radio (http:/37.187.79.153:5392).

Both are mp3 128k, so why they won't play by CCA is a mystery to me, but that is what causes the error screen. They play fine from my other zone.

I noticed something in the audio section last week when I was fiddling with Realtek onboard sound for a budget system. This was with the prior 22 build (this issue has probably been here for some time though):

When in options/audio/dsp & output format/Equalizer I was adjusting the preamp input, set up for 7.1, boosting the Preamp….. the subwoofer level remained constant regardless of PreAmp boost. Consequently the subwoofer level appeared “lower” when overall level was boosted.

This is by design, but I'm not really sure why.  I floated the question to our equalizer expert.

CRASH REPORT, REPEATABLE PROBLEM:

I ran the capitalization tool to "fix" a large bunch of Album titles. Worked OK. But of course it altered some titles inappropriately, so I was working with a View by Album to find and fix them. I found several albums properly named "AM...." that were changed to "Am", so I was editing these titles, working directly in the view tree.

I clicked and edited one album, no problem typing "M" to to replace "m". Hoping to just move to the very next album beginning with "Am", instead of pressing Enter I pressed Down Arrow. MC instead jumped down about a screen's worth, as if I had pressed PageDown...hmmm. I went back up to the next "Am" album, edited it, and again pressed Down Arrow. MC crashed.

Repeating the same actions causes the same crash. Always, the first use of DownArrow jumps focus way down, to an item many records down in the current view, or even to a different view several items lower in the tree. Seems to be a random jump, but it always happens on the first use of DownArrow. THEN, on the second edit then DownArrow, MC crashes.

I'm not sure if this is a Windows 10 problem or a Media Center 21/22 problem. I noticed after I installed MC22 and then deinstalled MC21, the MC21 tray icon option was still in the taskbar notification list (Settings -> Personalization -> Taskbar -> Select which icons appear on the taskbar). When both the MC21 and MC22 notifications icons were switched to on, it caused a UAC notification. I had to clear the taskbar icon cache via the registry to make it disappear. Besides that, smooth sailing.
