Media Center 15.0.106 -- Available here
« on: September 04, 2010, 02:15:29 pm »
This is the latest version of MC 15.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.  

http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter150106.exe

15.0.106 (9/3/2010)

1. NEW: Last.fm has a configurable submission filter available in Options > Services > Last.fm.
2. NEW: Added a no cover art mode to Theater View > Playing Now > Display (use left / right with overlay selected to change).
3. Changed: Added the ability to manage the Netflix account in Options > Services.
4. Changed: When switching zones, any Playing Now views on active tabs will switch to the new zone (inactive tabs will not be changed).
5. NEW: Added Playing Now view header option 'Lock Display To This Zone' to prevent the display from switching with zone changes.
6. NEW: Added search function for Netflix in Theater View / Connected Media.
7. Faster: Core database engine is roughly 5% faster (shows in Help > Benchmark).
8. Changed: Handle head requests with byte range (0-0) in the http server. Affects among other things, the DLNA server.
9. Changed: DLNA server mimetype mappings (mostly video) for DLNA compatible rendering devices.

15.0.105 (9/2/2010)

1. Changed: Revised message shown when picking Player > Playing Now > Scrobble 'Listening To' to reflect the removal of the old plugin.
2. Fixed: The tooltip for the expression FormatNumber(...) listed the singular and plural labels in reverse order.
3. Fixed: The [Channels] expression was not working properly when customizing the player display area.
4. Fixed: Gapped playback options were not working consistently in all cases.
5. Changed: Reworked 'suppress silence' system in the audio engine so that it will support all bitdepths, channels, etc. (previously only worked with 16-bit data).
6. Fixed: When disk writing, the between track mode gapping / fading could be ignored in some cases.
7. Faster: Database ~dup and ~nodup operations are faster.
8. Faster: Core string engine used across entire program is faster.

15.0.104 (9/1/2010)

1. Fixed: The expression IsPlaying(...) could cause a dead-lock in some cases.
2. Faster: The expression IsPlaying(...) is much faster.
3. Fixed: Importing a mymovies.xml file that didn't explicitly point to a file from Windows Explorer could cause a crash.
4. Fixed: The 'Add Default Feeds' button in the Podcast system was not working (since recent jriver.com webpage changes).
5. Changed: Removed legacy Last.fm plugin.  Please use new, native Last.fm features.
6. NEW: The duration of the 'Gapped Fade' between tracks mode can be configured in Options > Audio (requires manually reselecting Gapped Fade option again if you were using it already).
7. Fixed: Theater View > Playing Now > Display background visualization (click left / right on cover art) were not working properly.
8. Changed: Theater View background images are cropped to preserve the top of the image instead of cropping equally from the top and bottom.
9. Fixed: Theater View lists would not always update after building the first thumbnail in the list.
10. Fixed: When near the edge of the screen, a click in the title bar area could cause a maximization of the program.
11. Fixed: Recording a stream with the scheduler that contained invalid characters in the name would cause problems.
12. Fixed: When editing the last field in the Tag Action Window, the display would not always scroll to show the full edit control.
13. Fixed: Last.fm personal radio stations were using the Last.hq user account instead of the user account linked to Media Center.

15.0.103 (8/31/2010)

1. Changed: DSP Studio > Output Format has better handling of 5.0 sources (supports upmixing to 5.1 / 7.1, and provides better channel mapping when doing 5.1 / 7.1 output with no mixing).
2. Changed: When choosing 'No mixing' for the surround mode in DSP Studio > Output Format, mono will still be converted to dual channel mono.
3. Fixed: Path names with semi-colons in them could be problematic.
4. NEW: Last.fm playback allows playing tag radio, top fans radio, neighbors radio, loved radio, etc.
5. NEW: Last.fm remembers the last several stations used, and automatically fills in the last used station when choosing 'Play Last.fm Radio...'.
6. NEW: Added real-time Last.fm scrobbling to show what is currently playing (must enable scrobbling here: Player > Playing Now > Scrobble 'Listening To').
7. NEW: Added Options > Services page, added Last.fm configuration.
8. Changed: Added the ability to select Amazon country code in Options > Services.
9. Changed: Added the ability to manage the Twitter account in Options > Services.
10. Fixed: DLNA type descriptions for video in non-transcoded files.

15.0.102 (8/30/2010)

1. Faster: Searching options is much faster.
2. Changed: Using the expression function ListCombine(...) with an empty string no longer outputs an empty list item.
3. Changed: Added optional 'Output delimiter' parameter for ListCombine(...) function so the input and output can use different delimiters.
4. Changed: ListItem(...) and ListCombine(...) expression functions eat white space surround delimiters when building / analyzing lists.
6. Fixed: Publisher and organization flac and ogg tag writing and reading.
7. Fixed: Ogg tag case sensitivity.
8. Fixed: DFX plugin was not working properly since the switch to a 64-bit audio path (DFX operates on 32-bit data).
9. Changed: DSP Studio > Output Format has better handling of quadrophonic (4.0) sources (supports upmixing to 5.1 / 7.1, and provides better channel mapping when doing 5.1 / 7.1 output with no mixing).
10. Changed: Mimetype mapping in the DLNA server. This area is undergoing a lot of changes, this will have an effect on playable video files.

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.

I'm wondering if there's going to be improvement in the Visualization regression that appeared a ways back, discussed in http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=58891.0 ?

We lost long-standing, impressive and useful playback visualization functionality, with nothing to directly or readily replace it.

Meanwhile, to preserve the playback behavior that was removed, I'm stuck at 15.0.80. Apparently, so are some other users.

Anything in the works regarding this?

Please see my response, in that thread, here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=58891.msg399080#msg399080

Also, let's keep any discussion about visualization changes in that thread instead of the build thread.

Thanks.

Any chance of allowing us to send the fields we want like in the old plugin. I send custom expression fields to last.fm but the new plugin does not allow this.

Going to have to go back to 101 :(

Woohoo! many many many many many thanks for implementing that one!


Not trying be greedy, but is there any change you could take my post into consideration, about an option adding the #M3U header in the first line of m3u playlists when syncing to handhelds? Right now i have to run a custom made batch file to add that header every time i sync playlists to my phone to get powermp3 to recognize them:P

Re: Media Center 15.0.106 -- Media Editor problems
« Reply #5 on: September 06, 2010, 05:48:59 am »
It has been a while since I last used Media Editor, but I tried it now because of this thread: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=59492. I noticed some problems.

- The "Paste Mix" feature either doesn't work at all or sometimes it crashes the program.

- It is very difficult to go to the end or beginning of the track. The cursor keys are ineffective and the UI does not provide any buttons or other ways to do this. It would be nice if the left and right arrows could move the cursor in small steps and if the End and Home keys would work.

In addition, I'd like to be able to lasso select a range and issue the usual right-click edit commands (copy, paste, cut, and perhaps mix paste). Apparently the current implementation has no right-click menu.

Re: 15.0.106 Two possible bugs... Last FM submission Loop, WASPI jittering
« Reply #6 on: September 06, 2010, 02:34:31 pm »
I am still having the last.fm "please login" to last.fm looping issue that i had starting with .101. I did a uninstall and then installed .106 and the problem is now occuring on all my machines.

With .106 I am now getting jittering on audio playback using my ASUS XONAR and WASPI. I switched to ASIO and the jittering went away.


**** UPDATE **** I am now getting jittering on some songs using ASIO. It seems .106 doesn't like Chill but does like Rock.

iPod Syncing Speed
« Reply #10 on: September 11, 2010, 02:34:02 pm »
When using 15.0095 manual syncing to my iPod Video and new Classic was extremely fast. 15.0106 is noticeably slower and once the last song syncs the Action Window shows 47% and stays there for ~15 secs. before going to 100% and finishing the sync.

1. Playback of MKV files over LAN with Haali, CoreAVC, and EVR has been working fine for months.

Now, using either playback from "local location if found" or not, my MKV files can't be stopped, nor can I seek, nor can I even use MC; it's locked down.

It really seems to have cropped up out of nowhere. I need to do a few more tests but I'm now playing an mkv from a different group of files and getting this bug; not sure yet if it applies to all files. Evil tray icon; thought I had it disabled but forgotten to do it. Now I have access to the menu bar, pause, etc.

2. Every time I load my library from the server, I get access to MC and start using it, but then MC locks down for about 5-10 seconds while it's doing something. I have extra features disabled and I can provide a log; just frustrating to start using MC and then locked out while it tidies up.

FLAC and MP3 files keep showing in MC as Data rather than Audio.

I have changed it inside MC's tagging pane, yet it continues to revert to Data.

MC also will not analyze these files or play them while Foobar plays them fine and FLACtester shows them (the flacs) as good files.



Update:

An uninstall & reinstall of MC did not seem to help but it appears a new library may have done the trick.

Possible bug: on the 15.0.106 update, Netflix "Instant Cue" no longer displays any television shows, only movies. 15.0.95 restores/displays these selections in the Instant Cue.

I tested this on two different machines...

This crash was caused when PeerBlock was actively killing the connection, but MC still probably shouldn't hard crash I'm guessing.

When starting "cold", Media Center seems to have a hard time with "replace and play" with the shell extension.  There is several moments of silence, followed by the old playlist instead of the new selections.
