Code: [Select]
11. Changed: MCWS/v1/Playback/Zones hides hidden zones (unless you specify hidden=1 on the URL).
This doesn't work for me. It now never returns hidden zones even if I specify hidden=1. Just to be clear I am using a URL like this:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52199/MCWS/v1/Playback/Zones?hidden=1&Token=xxxxxxxx

EDIT: One other minor point. The MCWS documentation lists "hidden" under the "Responses" section rather than "Parameters"

EDIT 2: Not having much luck here. The new MCWS SetTempo function always returns a failure status no matter what parameters I supply. For instance:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:52199/MCWS/v1/DSP/SetTempo?Tempo=1&Token=xxxxxxx

I'm still unable to load a saved DSP setting.

I can save them, at least they show up in the Load list... but loading a saved Preset, doesn't invoke the preset.  A load blanks the DSP screen, so I click off/back on, but the stored Preset is not loaded.

Then it seemed to work... then stopped working.

I created/saved a Flat Preset, with the equalizer unchecked.  I created/saved Test01 with the equalizer checked and the bottom 4 sliders down all the way.

I set one track to Flat and the next to Test01.

When playing the track set to Flat, the DSP Studio shows the equalizer unchecked.  When playing the track set to Test01, the DSP studio shows the equalizer checked.  However, all the sliders are centered when Test01 should be invoked.

Hi Matt, some .dff or .dsf files transfered from sacd iso may lost tag information.
DFF files do not support tagging - though if you used Media Center for the conversion, it should be keeping those tags within its own database.
However, Media Center should not be used to convert ISO to DSF/DFF. It is a lossy conversion and it should open a dialog box warning against it when you try to perform this conversion, in my opinion. (or DFF to DSF)

The burn order should be shown in the Action Window.  You can drag-n-drop to reorder.
