1. Changed: Removed the "Finish" page from the television scanning dialog -- the results are shown in the channel list after a scan.
2. Fixed: The Import single-folder wizard would import from the last path used instead of the current path (only applies to build 13).
3. NEW: Added new Handheld playlist format "M3U (relative paths without leading dot)" for devices that don't like relative paths that start with ".\".
3. Changed:
Simplified how web media sites are added and removed from Theater View. (use Options > Theater View to configure)
4. NEW: Added
YouTube Theater View integration that allows browsing popular, recent, etc. and allows doing searches.
5. Changed: Added a tip to the Monitor Switcher (MC14.exe /MonitorSwitch) for how to switch between two different displays on Windows 7. (requires two calls instead of one like Vista and earlier)
6. Fixed: MC14 would crash on television playback if MC12 had been run.
7. Fixed: Certain color format PSD files could cause a crash.
8. NEW:
Theater View allows nesting of root items that will show on a secondary roller.
9. Changed: Renamed "Web Media" to "Connected Media".
10. Fixed: MC could hang when playing FLV video from YouTube in secondary monitor.
11. Changed: Shutting down a TRemote client no longer stops playback on the server.
14.0.13 (06/15/2009)
1. Changed: When user selects a channel in "Edit Channel List" window, MC tries to fill "Channel Number" field with a default value if the field is not already set by user (ATSC digital TV and analog Cable only).
2. NEW: Improved new Import interface when importing a single folder.
3. NEW: Reworked Theater View rollers so they can be grabbed and dragged or flicked to scroll with a mouse /
touch-screen (works like other Theater View lists now).
4. Changed:
ATSC television channel scanning will use an existing channel in database with identical channel name, instead of creating a new entry (in case the physical channel is different). This change is necessary to avoid creating duplicates, and to preserve existing subscriptions. Many
television stations changed their broadcast carrier frequency (physical channel) at the analog broadcast switch-off last week.
5. Fixed: DVB-T channel "Is AC3 Audio" attribute was displayed incorrectly in "Details" section on "Edit Channel List" window.
6. Changed: Miscellaneous changes in "Edit Channel List" window.
7. Fixed: Media Center 13 and Media Center 14 shell extensions could fight with each other (may require manually enabling / disabling shell extensions in each program to get it working).
8. Fixed: Searching for Media Servers did not work (only applies to build 12).
9. NEW: Added more browsable categories to
Hulu inside Theater View.
14.0.12 (06/12/2009)
1. NEW:
Added Hulu.com support to Theater View. (still a work in progress; for now you must add a Theater View root item in Options > Theater View for the website:
http://www.hulu.com)
2. Optimized: Core
image MMX assembly rendering engine about 8% faster.
3. Fixed: Possible crash when scrolling in lists.
4. Changed: The text on the installer button "Next" is changed to "Next >", to be consistent with "< Back" button, and to avoid translation confusion with "Next" as in "Next Track".
5. Fixed: Monochrome PSD files that used RLE encoding could cause a crash (monochrome PSD files not currently supported).
6. Changed: "Next / Previous use favorite channels only" check box is moved from Television Options window to Edit Channel List window.
7. Changed: When saving an ID3v2 tag to an MP3, if the new tag is more than 8 KB smaller than the old tag, the file will be rewritten to save space on disk.
8. Fixed: Lists that were grouped into Album Thumbnails were not always working.
14.0.11 (06/10/2009)
1. NEW: Added
write support to Library Server to allow bidirectional communication of any number of clients with a single server. When connected to a Library Server, use the command File > Library > Sync Library... to write any changes made on the client back to the server, and also update the client from the server if necessary. Expect automation in a future build.
2. Changed: When connecting the a Library Server, the Filename is no longer updated to show a URL -- instead this happens internally at playback time.
3. Fixed: Playing recorded television show or starting to watch a television channel while MC was doing scheduled recording could have long silence (up to 100 seconds) and (to lesser extent) paused video, if MC was on second monitor when playback started.
4. Fixed: Moving MC from one monitor to another while playing a recorded television show would cause audio and video to pause for a long time.
5. Fixed: MCE remote controls work again (support was temporarily disabled while building new remote system in early builds).
14.0.10 (06/09/2009)
1. NEW: Many improvements to using Media Center as a remote for another Media Center. (shows what's playing, next, previous, stop, seeking, and volume work)
2. Changed: Updated the Chinese language file (thanks to Katapa).
3. Changed: When an encoder needs to download a supporting file on first use, it could show two UAC prompts instead of one.
4. Changed: When emailing log files, a string is placed at the top of the message asking users to provide a description or link (it's hard to know what to do with logs with no context).
5. Changed: Quicktime file types (except mov, qt, m4p, and m4b) that are set to use "Automatic" Playback Method will be played using DirectShow instead of Quicktime engine if needed DirectShow filters are found on the computer.
6. Changed: Increased timeout used when searching for Library Servers.
7. Fixed: In some cases, searching for a Library Server could find a server running on the local machine, causing a possible circular reference.
8. Fixed: Creation of ZIP file with subfolders could fail to be unzipped on Linux (caused problems with Pix01 galleries).
14.0.9 (06/05/2009)
1. NEW: Many improvements to search suggestion engine (adds instructions, common searches, etc.)
2. Changed: Version 14 no longer functions with a version 13 license.
3. Optimized: Improved performance of thumbnail lists.
4. Fixed: Miscellaneous fixes in the remote control options dialog. Please select "Restore Default List" after installing this build.
14.0.8 (06/04/2009)
1. Fixed: Flickr uploader was failing on wide characters.
2. Fixed: Facebook uploader should be utf-8 safe.
3. Fixed: Inconsistent database filename was used when importing DVDs by "Import Playlist..." tool with My Movies data.
4. Fixed: Theater View News and Weather plugins were not appearing.
5. Fixed: When sorting a list, the selection would not remain visible.
6. NEW:
Added web service interface (REST based) to library server. Use the URL [library server address]/MCWS/v1/doc or [library server address]/MCWS/v1/wsdl to see documentation. (still a work in progress)
7. NEW:
When connecting to Library Server, a user can choose to play on the server instead of locally.view
