http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=52539.0)
4. Fixed: Theater View did not nicely support Alt+# style input of international characters.
5. Fixed: Switching the resolution of a monitor while Theater View was showing did not update Theater View correctly.
6. Changed: The TV recording stub file (*.jtv) now references other data files by relative paths, instead of full path. This way the recordings can be moved to different locations and be still playable. They can also be shared and played from other computers.

3. NEW: Added WASAPI option "Present 24-bit data in a 32-bit package". (some audiophile hardware wants 24-bit data while most consumer level hardware wants 24-bit data in a 32-bit package)
4. NEW: Improved web service interface (MCWS) so that all playback functions support zones.
5. NEW: When connecting to a Library Server, the server's zones get added to the client zones to allow playback to any zone of the server or any zone of the client. (this replaces the 'Here' / 'There' popup)
14.0.14 (06/17/2009)
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)

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.

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 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.
