http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter200079.exe

20.0.79 (2/26/2015)

1. NEW: Television tool "Manage Channels" has a "Rescan" button to allow rescan for new channels in a selected tuner type  profile.
2. Fixed: Video Streams in MOV/MP4 files were not reliably detected for more exotic video codecs (ie. DNxHD), resulting in MC treating the file as a audio file.
3. NEW: Select is an available command for videos and TV shows in Theater View.
4. Fixed: Library views could crash.

20.0.78 (2/25/2015)

3. FIxed: CD drives weren't appearing in build 77.

20.0.77 (2/25/2015)

1. Fixed: Television channel to xmltvID auto matching did not work for DVB (and possibly analog) channels due to channel number in front of name in channel names.
2. Fixed: TV functions crashed in the previous build (hopefully fixed, testing appreciated).
3. Fixed: Analyzing FLAC+CUE files could result in a handle and memory leak.
4. Fixed: Importing FLAC files with both an external and embedded CUE could result in the duration of the last track being wrong.

20.0.76 (2/24/2015)

1. NEW: Television Setup wizard allows users to choose which tuner device to use to perform channel scanning, when such designation is relevant (ATSC, DVB, QAM, Analog Cable, Analog Antenna).
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo).
4. NEW: Ten Stars is an edit type for a library field and makes the same type of field as rating, but with 10 stars instead of 5.
5. Fixed: Text visualization components could randomly switch to the wrong text at times.
6. Changed: Updated the FFmpeg version used for file analysis and transcoding.

20.0.75 (2/23/2015)

2. NEW: During television subscription set up, an option to choose which fields to make comparison with, in order to determine whether an existing recording matches the program to be recorded.
3. Fixed: Television recordings did not get all metadata imported in the last couple of builds.
4. Fixed: Importing CUE files which reference more than one media file could show the wrong duration on the last track of each file.
5. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
6. NEW: Quick Find Cover Art supports the filenaming [Artist] - [Album].
7. Fixed: The options dialog listed an option for Sound Recorder in Options > Encoding.

1. Changed: Additional date metadata tags are read from AVI files.
2. NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Enable OSD to allow turning off the OSD.
3. Changed: Added a popup message box when HDHomeRun tuner is selected to scan for television channels in Television Setup wizard, that one should setup firewall to allow Media Center network access through the firewall.
4. Changed: Added additional instruction message in Television Setup wizard, when the device list for CableCARD tuners is empty, that one should setup firewall and turn on "Use Media Network to share this library and enable DLNA" option.
5. Fixed: TheMovieDB image lookup was not working anymore.
6. Fixed: A CUE parsing issue where the last track would not work because the playback range was parsing incorrectly if the CUE file spanned multiple tracks.
7. Fixed: Rotten Tomatoes wasn't downloading cover art.

20.0.73 (2/17/2015)

1. Fixed: If one (re-)ran television Setup wizard from the Television property page, some settings set on the wizard were not transferred to the property page.
2. Changed: Red October updated to LAV Filters 0.64 (Hardware Acceleration improvements, bugfixes).

4. NEW: Added a 'Total Tracks' field to the library.  Currently updated from MP3 files, MP4 files, FLAC files, and during CD ripping.
5. NEW: Added a 'Total Discs' field to the library, which is updated from MP3, MP4, and FLAC files.
6. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks Bytestar).

20.0.71 (2/16/2015)

1. Changed: Added "Auto Group this channel" right-click menu on Manage Channels tool, to automatically find matching channels to group with.
2. Changed: Added "Auto Group" button on Manage Channels tool, to automatically group all channels.
3. NEW: Double-click on the headers of a grouped list control fires a double-click on the entire grouping, which normally starts playback (but depends on the setting).
4. Fixed: Television Setup wizard complained about not having remote device even though the user was not setting up Set-top Box profiles.
5. NEW: Added an IR Device Activation page on Televsion Setup wizard, so one can make sure IR devices are activated before trying to set up an STB profile.
6. Changed: When a television channels is designated "hidden", it is automatically removed from its group (if previously grouped).
7. NEW: On Manage Channels tool, the "Channel" column header carries a sorting code, to indicate current sorting mode of channels in the list.  "Channel (Custom)" - custom sorting; "Channel (12-3 ABC)" - sorted by full channel name; "Channel (ABC)" - sorted by channel name without number in front; etc.
8. NEW: Added one more television channel sorting mode: Favorite, which puts favorite channels above regular channels.
9. NEW: Support for playing HTTP Live Streaming streams (both video/audio and audio-only).
10. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
11. Fixed: On some systems, audio CD burning was failing while writing the lead-in.  This was much more prone to happen if the CD-Text option was disabled.

20.0.70 (2/12/2015)

1. Changed: Group Channels tool is merged into the Manage Channels tool and removed from Television property page.
2. Changed: In the Manage Channels tool, right clicking menu offers "Group Channels" and "Ungroup channels" that perform simple grouping or ungrouping of selected channels.  The "Group Channels" button offers the old grouping tool that allows more elaborate grouping operation.
3. Changed: Removed "Set up IR Emitter STB channels" tool from Television property pages as it is no longer needed.
4. NEW: The launcher (MC20.exe) takes a /MinMax command to toggle the minimized / maximized state of the program.
5. NEW: Added a /StartMax command to the launcher to start the program maximized (and show and maximize if it's already running).
5. Changed: Simplified Group Channels tool.
6. Changed: Added a "Change default channel type order for grouping" right-click menu item on Manage Channels tool for television channel grouping.
7. Fixed: CD ripping was always using secure mode regardless of user setting.
8. Fixed: Prior to any CD play or rip activity, the options dialog did not always show the installed CD drives.
9. Fixed: If CD ripping was started from the list header button, the initial ripping action window would still show after ripping was complete.

20.0.69 (2/11/2015)

1. Fixed: Starting playback with the play button from a grouped list control with nothing selected wasn't working.
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
3. Changed: Made SRC only use the high precision mode for audio playback (because it was causing timing issues for video playback).
4. NEW: Made a toolbar button 'Toggle Tree' that toggles the visibility of the main tree.
5. Fixed: YouTube searching would be slow because we were unintentionally loading the dimensions of all the images.
6. Changed: Moved the buttons on Manage Channels dialog window to the right side to make more room for channels list.
7. Changed: More reshuffling of Television property page (still on-going).

20.0.68 (2/10/2015)

1. Fixed: Catching of YouTube links with the IE engine was not working.  Now it might play in the browser at the same time, so stop that manually if you do something else.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added an option in Theater View -> Behavior to disable the Left-Edge jump to the top roller in Grid views.
4. Fixed: Transitioning from an image to a video in a playlist was not working properly.
5. Changed: On Manage Channels dialog window, a checkbox in the "Favorite" or "Hidden" column will toggle only if one clicks on or very near the checkbox, to prevent accidental toggling.
6. Fixed: The additional audio delay from the resampler changes in 20.0.67 was not being compensated properly.

20.0.67 (2/6/2015)

1. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.13.
2. Fixed: [Playlist Remaining Time] wasn't zone specific properly.
3. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
4. NEW: The image editor can save PNG files (just use a PNG extension on the save filename).
5. Changed: Made tagging in Theater View optional in Options > Theater View > Behavior.
6. Fixed: The previous / next buttons on a mixed list of images and videos would stall at the images.
7. NEW: Audio input selection during television setup for Set-top Box or Capture-only channels.
8. Changed: Switched the resampler to high precision mode (testing appreciated).
9. Changed: The Tag Action Window no longer shows a full page when editing a list style field but instead uses an inplace edit.

20.0.66 (2/4/2015)

1. Fixed: Doing a play on a grouped artist, etc. tile would expand the files in a fixed way instead of using the sorting of the bottom list.
2. Changed: The WDM driver is only installed on Vista and newer (was probably causing an install issue on XP).
3. Fixed: There was quite a long delay at the start of audio CD burning and the main thread could get stalled for a while.
4. Changed: The string sorter doesn't interpret a dash as a negative sign unless it's right after a space or it's the first character in the line (should fix mystery sort issues with dash delimited data).
5. Fixed: MC could not play ALAC files with very high sample rate.

As reported for 20.0.70 http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=95567.0, I have a serious sync issue starting after 20.0.66. Now, I haven't tested newer versions than .74 yet, with same movie I get 2% or more clock deviation in madvr onscreen menu. This is really noticable as off-sync a/v. And it is not constant, as it looks like it is trying to sync a/v and clock deviation slowly decreases over time (minutes), then suddenly jumps back to 2-3%.

Rolling back to .66 fixes this.

What is different? LAV filters?

If it started in .70 already, then it isn't LAV, as that was not updated there yet. Probably the resampling changes. There is a task on my desk still to check in some sync changes, will hopefully uncover something.

Yes, I think you're right. In the linked post I asked if flac would be detected as video and not use high precision resampling. The movie was a blu-ray rip with decoded audio stored as flac. If it is detected as non-video, and high precision is used, maybe my cpu is not up for it.

As long as its part of the video file, it will always get detected as video. Or is it an external side-car audio file?

In this case, and all other in my library, it is an . mkv containing both audio and video. No external side-cars.

I'm still having to manually specify the JRiver Video Engine for these, rather than leaving mov on automatic.

Is this build in the "latest" pipeline yet?

Every time I do a manual check - MC says it's up to date with 20.0.74....

Strange. I don't think I have anything else on my system that MC could be using for mov files, but I suppose there's no problem setting it to use the MC Video Engine. I just didn't expect that I would have to.

Instability playing aiff format audio since upgrading from v0.66. Had machine stop responding on a track change, requiring a hard power-down (blue-screen? machine is headless, so couldn't tell). Had machine reboot whilst audio track was paused. Controlling via Gizmo, the paused "state" had the time-bar oscillating on the last 10 seconds of the track in the paused state & could not un-pause or stop until the reboot suddenly happened. I did see this oscillating state occur on an earlier v20 build <v0.66, but it had previously been fixed?

Reverted back to v0.66 & no issues (it has been the most stable for me), being able to play audio/video & tv for hours without issues.

Could you provide a sample of the aiff file that's causing problems to matt at jriver dot com?

Thanks.

Mine is 20.0.64, but it never showed any further update. I checked the Stable option, and it shows mine is already the latest version.
Please aware this issue. Thanks.

The "stable" channel has not been updated yet. If you want a newer version, you can always switch to the "Latest" channel!
