1. Fixed: Filename searches could be unreliable (only applies to build 112).
2. Fixed: When using gapped playback modes, a little burst of the previous song could sometimes be heard after the silence.
3. Changed: Improved lip-sync of video when using 'Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) [event style]' output.
4. Fixed: In some cases, at the end of a video started from Theater View, the program could return to Standard View instead.
5. Changed: When jumping to Display View, tooltips are hidden immediately (previously could show on top of Display View briefly).
6. Fixed: Starting Media Server, then showing Theater View, then starting playback, then switching back to a multi-view Standard View configuration (splits or tabs) could be problematic.
7. Changed: Library Views could use unnecessarily verbose view header names when they were on inactive tabs.
8. Changed: View header names for thumbnail category views use plural names when possible. (ie. Rock Artists instead of Rock Artist)
15.0.112 (9/15/2010)

Wikipedia information is now used for albums and artists in Performer store.

5. Faster: The TVInfo(...) expression functions are faster.
6. Fixed: The Counter(...) expression function would start at zero instead of one when no start index was specified.
7. Changed: 'Expression' type categories in Panes views treat backslashes as nesting (so expressions can create dynamic browse trees).

15.0.111 (9/15/2010)
1. Fixed: 'Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) [event style]' would stall playback on flushes.

2. Changed: Secure CD rip report now includes program name/version and CD drive model and settings info.
3. NEW: Added
more DLNA server info to enable playing of video files on Sony TV's and Blu-Ray players. Probably will also help with other DLNA devices.

new audio output 'Windows Audio Session API (WASAPI) [event style]'.

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.

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.

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.

Add All (as next to play)' choice to Theater View play roller.

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.
