http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter140034.exe

14.0.34 (07/17/2009)

1. Changed: Improved handling of &DateType= [ List ] in Theater View File Info templates. (spaces added for forum formatting)
2. Fixed: The 'Play from memory' option could cause tagging problems with FLAC files.

14.0.33 (07/16/2009)

1. NEW: Integrated the image editor into the Image Preview view. (use 'Edit' command on toolbar when in Image Preview)
2. NEW: Added name to the Image Preview.
3. NEW: PgUp/PgDn will move to the prior/next item in the list in Image Preview.
4. Fixed: When a thumbnail list was updated, it could sometimes not draw thumbnails until scrolled (only applies to build 32).
5. NEW: The library backup folder used for automatic backups, backups on upgrade, etc. can be customized in Options > File Location.
6. Changed: FLAC files did not fill in the 'Bit Depth' field (requires Update Library (from tags) to correct).
7. Changed: When the image preview window hides the tree or files list, there's no longer a splitter shown.
8. Changed: Reworked how view layout and sizing is handled (hopefully internal change, but please report any issues).

14.0.32 (07/15/2009)

1. Fixed: Lists could fail to update nicely on sizing (only applies to build 31).
2. NEW: Added better support for mice that do smooth scrolling with the mouse wheel.
3. Fixed: Double-clicking to hide the image preview could reshow the window if the mouse was in the right spot.
4. Fixed: Several small fixes to remote control dialogs.
5. Fixed: The 'Recordings' television list in Theater View could, in cases of back-to-back recordings from the same rule, not allow playback of the program as it was recording the second half.

14.0.31 (07/14/2009)

1. Fixed: When viewing the recordings television list near the end of a recording, it would not always show the programs that were currently recording.
2. Fixed: In rare cases, the television recordings list could group programs from different weeks but from the same day of the week.
3. Changed: The recorded television program list in Standard View does a better job of showing dates for old programs.
4. Fixed: When exiting the full screen Theater View file info panel with the left key, the focus could go back to the top roller instead of the list.
5. Changed: 3D album views adjust the size of the text used on the back to hold far more tracks when necessary.
6. NEW: 3D album views allow playing, adding, shuffling, and adding as the next to play.
7. NEW: Added the ability to add a "Library" toolbar button to the top or bottom toolbar to facilitate faster library switching.
8. NEW: Added option to play files from memory instead of disk which is useful in high-end audiophile environments. (file is loaded in a background thread to system memory (capped at 256 MB) and played from there)
9. Optimized: Improved performance of rendering lists.
10. Optimized: Changes to reduce registry chatter when idle.
11. Changed: Some IR blast command formats changed again, so you'll need to re-learn any existing ones.
12. Changed: Can now tweak IR frequency for blasting if your remote control is non-standard.
13. Fixed: Tagging of Windows Media files was written to sidecar files instead of media files.
14. Changed: Option to "Store tags in external sidecar files if the file type does not support tagging" (video only for now.)
15. Fixed: Image Preview didn't force a redraw.  (Jiggly draw.)
16. Fixed: The file list returns to its original position after closing image preview.

2. Fixed: List style fields were not working correctly with the Theater View file info panel.

6. Changed: Gapless information is loaded from MP3s encoded wit the ACMENC encoder.
7. NEW: Image preview zoom information updated on the status bar.
8. Changed: Image preview tooltip content, lag and duration.
9. NEW: Tools menu added to Image Preview header.  (Same menu as right click.)
10. Fixed: When scrolling in a thumbnail list, the item the mouse was over could wiggle a little.

14.0.29 (07/10/2009)

1. Fixed: When a menu drew scroll arrows, they could draw on top of menu text.
2. Fixed: On Windows 7 an iPod could show as two devices (may require a redetect of devices to fix).
3. Fixed: Improved handling of special / hidden zones like the zone used for image playback when audio is playing.

1. Fixed: When loading a library, if a message box was shown (to inform about read-only access, etc.) it could crash.
2. Fixed: Cover art wasn't being retrieved for DVD discs.
3. NEW: Added ListBuild(...) expression function for building a delimited list of values, possibly suppressing empty values.
4. NEW: Added TVInfo(...) expression function for getting television-specific information about TV programs.
5. Changed: Standardized on "Categories" naming for groupings in a library view. (previously also used panes and view scheme item)
6. Changed: Theater View file info fields are loaded from "theater view file info templates.xml" in the library folder. (user interface to allow editing to come in a later build)
7. Changed: Changed the sizing of the Theater View file info panel and News to be based on a number of lines instead of percentage of screen height.
8. Changed: EPG list in television view is automatically refreshed to current time every half an hour.  Automatic refreshing is turned off whenever the user manually chooses a date or time from the drop-down lists.  It is re-enabled whenever the user clicks the "Set To Now" button.
9. NEW: Viewheader for the image preview window updated to contain fit, 100% and close buttons.
10. Changed: Image preview window closes the selection panes when opened.  (Panes selections remain in effect.)
11. NEW: Close file list button on image preview window.
12. Changed: Most fields in My Movies xml files are supported if the user creates corresponding custom fields (for example, IMDB, ProductionYear).
13. Fixed: Abnormal termination on entering Image Preview.
14. Fixed: Corrupt MP3 ID3v2 tags that had a negative frame length could cause a crash.

2. Fixed: Sweden DVB-T frequency table was not complete.  Thank you Hans (paronsoda).
3. Fixed: The Media Center service would not show a company name in msconfig.exe.
4. Fixed: With Media Center running at Windows shutdown / logoff time, an error about starting JRService.exe could flash.
5. Changed: MJP files that installed skins to the old Theater View skin path "FullSkins" will be redirected to the new path. (please use the INSTALLSKIN command for future skin submissions)
6. Fixed: Using the keyboard to navigate up in a list wouldn't always scroll to show the first item once selected.
7. Fixed: Theater View keyboard could be disabled in the "Save As Playlist" popup.
8. Fixed: In advanced remote control commands that issued multiple commands in a row, some commands could get ignored.
9. Fixed (probably): During television time-shifting, buffering kicked in when user changed channel or when signal was weak.
10. Fixed: When showing the image preview window, the view header would get corrupted.
11. Optimized: The image preview window draws faster.

First reported here with release of build 25...

Quote
I normally use a Panes and Details view, with Album being the first pane. If I switch to any Thumbnails view, that view will be displayed properly. But when I switch back to Panes and Details, some of the album categories will remain "stuck" in the thumbnails view (specifically, "All Albums" and "Viewed" will revert to details, the others will not—see screenshot). No amount of fiddling with the drop-down menu or Customize View will change this. Reloading the view is the only way to restore the view to the Panes and Details state.

You don't need to install MC13.  You can skip it and install MC14.

Not sure what the access denied message is.  Do you have admin rights?

Hi,

thanks for the fix regarding the popup of the task bar (when placed as vertical right),
the fix is good for the standard view but not for the display view (when maximized) - this is for both MC14 (0.34) and MC13 (172).

...

after further trials I see that when in maximized display mode the task bar won't pop for all taskbar positions so I guess this was meant to be

To be clear, the splash window says 2009...but the "About Media Center" says 2008.

I have a view, in which all my movies are displayed in thumbnail form. top level sort id by  HD or SD, 2nd level is by name, grouped by letter. so upon selecting the view you get a hd thumbnail and an sd thumbnail. under each you have a a,b,c,d...z thumbnail. if you select the letter, what i want,is to see the movies sorted by name. seems simple enough yes? nothing i do changes the sort order of that detail pane. in my view i have the sort by set to name, under each heading (sd/hd, and name) i have it sorted by name. When looking at the view i can right click on the pane and tell it to sort by name. nothing changes, it always sorts by date imported. nothing i do will change it.

I can duplicate this with standard fields easily.
create a new view. set it to display only media sub type = movie
set it to sort by name.
add a category of Name, and enable grouping with a size of 1.
close the configure view window.
select any letter with many items, and the sort is by import order (i believe) but definitly not name order. ideas.
this has been present for a number of release versions.
is this a sort issue with mc, or am i doing something wrong?

Since 14.0.34 i have problems when synchronizing my ipods (an iPod video 80Gb and a Nano 2nd gen).

They are not recognized when connected : i have a pop-up with the following message :
Your iPod could not be properly identified. Please check for an updated version of Media Center. iPod type : ",",0,0.
I have them for quite a while and it's the first time i have that error.

This message keep on appearing while synchronizing, and Media Center crashed before the end of the sync.

A bad DirectShow filter could cause the problem, but check the link called "Stability" in my signature.  Please start a new thread if you can't find a solution.\

Try turning off visualizations and try updating DirectX from Microsoft.

MC crashes when I expand a viewscheme in standard view. It does not crash when I select the view scheme.

The actors field is a nested field (Name\Role) and I have 48641 actors. The view scheme only has one level (Actor)

here's a crash log. Just prior to this log, I select the viewscheme and reset the log:
