Media Center 15.0.101 -- Available here
« on: August 28, 2010, 10:07:52 am »

http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter150101.exe

15.0.101 (8/27/2010)

1. SDK: When the playback state changes in a non-active zone, it still events through the SDK notifications.
2. NEW: Added 'Add All (as next to play)' choice to Theater View play roller.
3. Fixed: The Onion was not working in Theater View > News.
4. NEW: Last.fm artist images can be used for Theater View theme background images.
5. NEW: Theater View allows turning on / off each individual website used for Theater View theme images (Options > Theater View > Theme > Online media slideshow).
6. NEW: Fading out the playing cover art in Theater View > Playing Now is optional (Options > Theater View > Theme).
7. Changed: When scanning for television channels, MC uses and updates existing channels with matching channel names, instead of creating new channels, in case the channel parameters change.  The change applies to DVB-T channels as ATSC channels already behave this way.
8. Changed: DLNA server mimetypes. The last several builds may have prevented playback of previously playable video files. Need feedback!
9. Changed: Added MPEG video override for weird DLNA TV's that always want video/mpeg mimetype regardless of the file type. This has been separated from the DLNAExtra flag so if you need this you'll have to check the new option.
10. Fixed: Saving presets was not working with some VST plugins.

15.0.100 (8/26/2010)

1. Changed: Last.fm should only require authorization one time.
2. Fixed: When failing to start Last.fm radio playback, the files already in Playing Now would play instead.
3. Fixed: Some DVB-T television recordings made in build 99 would not play because MC was too agressive in filtering out unwanted subchannels.
4. Changed: DLNA subtitle support. Add description text that triggers subtitle requests on some renderers (i.e. Dlink DSM-320, etc). Subtitle resource presentation only occurs if the subtitle option is set AND DLNAExtra is set. Otherwise the device must ask for the subtitle resources.
5. Fixed: DSP Studio > Effects > Environment effects were not working properly since the switch to a 64-bit data path.
6. Changed: When using the 'Tone' option in DSP Studio > Channels, the subwoofer tone will be attenuated by 10dB if "Something outside Media Center will make the subwoofer +10dB" is selected in DSP Studio > Output Format.
7. Fixed: When playing a 5.1 or 7.1 source with the build subwoofer option in DSP Studio > Output Format set to 'Silent', the LFE channel would be incorrectly silenced.
8. Fixed: Doing a YouTube search in Theater View with the alternate navigation option selected did not work properly.
9. Changed: Theater View skinning allows specifying the scrollbar size (as a percentage of the screen width.
10. Changed: Obsidian Touchscreen Theater View skin uses a wider scrollbar (you can also flick lists with a touchscreen).
11. Changed: Changed how DVB-T digital television updates channel group information for transport stream recording. Please test and report problems.  A complete rescan of channels is needed.
12. Changed: Removed root web media links, to return later as more integrated connected media sites.

15.0.99 (8/20/2010)

1. Fixed: DirectShow filter DSP plugin did not handle 64 bit floating point audio correctly.
2. Fixed: Strange behavior when a DirectShow filter failed to load into DSP chain.
3. Fixed: Cover art reading and writing for the WavPack format.
4. Changed: CD Information dialog is not shown for an unrecognized CD when automatic online lookup is deselected.
5. NEW: Added website links to root of tree.
6. NEW: Added Last.fm radio playback (Menu > Player > Play Last.fm Radio...).
7. NEW: Added Last.fm scrobbling (Menu > Player > Playing Now > Scrobble 'Listening To'...).
8. Fixed: When switching to a new track that was slow to start, 'Buffering...' could blink in the player window.
9. Fixed: When recording television in transport stream format, some recordings included all subchannels.
10. Changed: Ogg and flac tags map database PUBLISHER to ORGANIZATION, database ORGANIZATION (if existing) to JR_ORGANIZATION, and if there's an ALBUM ARTIST write it out as both ALBUM ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST. Read either, ALBUM ARTIST preferentially.
11. Changed: (internal) streamlined a bunch of code in the flac input plugin.

15.0.98 (8/17/2010)

1. Fixed: Bass removal with Room Correction was not working properly since the switch to a 64-bit audio data path.
2. Changed: Updated DLNA to show a friendly comment in Windows networking for JRiver DLNA servers and renderers.
3. Fixed: Ripping wouldn't work on certain cd drives that didn't handle sub-channel reading in the standard way. Ripping would report "parameter out of range" errors. (actually fixed in build 94)
4. Fixed: In rare cases, auto-import folder watching could cause problems when it was stopped.

15.0.97 (8/16/2010)

1. Fixed: ASIO output on cards that used 32-bit floating point format was not working with build 96.
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
3. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).
4. Fixed: "Copy mode" and "Read speed" were not translatable in Options > CD & DVD.
5. Changed: Tuned the timings used in the new 'Gapped Fade' switch tracks mode.
6. Fixed: MP3 gapless playback would not work perfectly with resampling enabled.
7. Changed: Switched DLNA root container artwork to use JPEG format to improve compatibility with DLNA devices that don't support PNG images.
8. Changed: The high-quality image overlay is only used during image playback if it provides more detail than the hardware accelerated view (prevents visible image shift from the overlay when not needed).
9. Optimized: Improved performance of starting playback from a Library Server.
10. Fixed: Media Editor could hang when saving a file.

15.0.96 (8/13/2010)

1. NEW: Media Center uses a purely 64-bit (double) audio data path, including format conversion and all included DSPs.
2. NEW: VST DSP plug-ins use 64-bit processing when the plug-in supports it.
3. NEW: Media Center is bit-perfect when playing 64-bit input files.
4. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).
5. Fixed: Television subscription recording did not allow multiple subscriptions of the same program at different times.
6. New: Ogg images in tags. Read and write new style METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE (front cover type 3 only). Read old style COVERART if METADATA_BLOCK_PICTURE doesn't exist. On write, remove old style COVERART tag. On write non-supported images will be converted to losslessly to a jpeg.

15.0.95 (8/12/2010)

1. Fixed: Showing split views of multiple Playing Now zones could cause problems at startup and shutdown.
2. Optimized: Improved performance of Playing Now views.
3. Fixed: The ListCombine(...) expression function did not work properly with single item lists. (only applies to last few builds)
4. Optimized: Improved handling of tagging engine when dealing with files that can't be tagged.
5. Fixed: Several strings that were not translatable.
6. Changed: Updated all translation files to include latest language from the source code.
7. Fixed: Revised WMA shutdown sequence to possibly fix stalling on stop of certain web media streams.
8. Fixed: Television recordings in non-jtv format could not be deleted from disk.
9. NEW: Added 'Gapped Fade' switch tracks mode (fades out previous track, plays a little silence, then starts new track).

Thanks a lot for implementing built-in last.fm support both for scrobbling and radio playing! That is a long long awaited feature, for me at least!

Now if only you could set it to scrobble the songs in real-time, it would be perfect!

Here's an example of how it currently looks like (real time scrobbling not implemented)


And an example of how it could look like (real time scrobbling implemented, as in the rest of the supported player plugins)

i think that that would not only be nice for the user but also be a nice extra detail to the new scrobel  link. visitors of profiles might notice it..

Is it possible, that the communication with the DFX plugin is broken? I just updated from 15.0.73 to .101 and my DFX (9.3) is no longer working. It's activated in the DSP Studio but doesn't seem to receive (and therefore process) any sound signals.

I reported this cover art issue in the .73 announcement thread:
Quote
If an mp3 file (ID3v2.3 tags only) has a cover art image embedded by MP3Tag, adding an image to that file in MC does not replace the old image but adds a second image to the music file (when the option to save cover art to the music file is selected). Also MC cannot remove cover art images in mp3 files embedded with MP3Tag.

This is discussed in more detail in this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=58612.msg396806#msg396806

With the .101 build I tried to add cover art images by dropping them on a couple of files that already had cover art embedded. Most of the time it now worked as expected (original image replaced by the one dropped on the file). But sometimes (about three times out of eight) the issue remained, i.e. a second image was added to the file. I could not see any difference between the files that worked and those that did not (same tag header, APIC (Image File) (Cover):, similar image dimensions etc.). Let me know if you want me to find a sample file with this issue.

If you're describing the old DirectX host DSP plugin, please do not use it.  It is no longer supported.

DirectX plugin support is native, and no host plugin is required.  Click the "Add Plug-in" button at the bottom of DSP Studio to natively install any DirectX DSP filter.

Running Win 7 X64, Lost all my right click context options. The Play in Media Center is missing and the other sub menu is gone. This is when trying to play flac.  I select 1 file the "play in Media center" option is there , if multiple files are highlighted it vanishes.  Shell Integration is checked. Was fine before the upgrade, Except it never played the files in the right order..

WASAPI bug with EMU 0202:

Foobar: FLAC file played in Foobar set to 24bit with stock buffer and using WASAPI. Start stop with no problem.

MC: 24bit. And also tried send as 32bit package. Stopping playback of same local file crashes MC and process can not be stopped. Must reboot.

Re: last.fm... loops wanting to authorize and then does it again
« Reply #17 on: September 04, 2010, 06:04:07 am »

this is with version .101

What is weird, is I have a virtual sever instance I use for server to the house, it loops with last.fm. I have music center also running on my desktop with version .101 and it does NOT loop on last FM. Both are Windows 7 X64. The virtual machine is DLNA output only (no sound driver) and the desktop is of course more "normal".
