20.0.111 (5/26/2015)

1. NEW: Rename, Move, & Copy tool now supports jtv files fully, even if there are other jtv files in the same folder sharing data files.
2. Changed: The folder added by Rename, Move, & Copy tool when copying/moving jtv files will be named using series name and episode name if available, instead of just the file name.
3. Changed: For "Blackmagic WDM Capture" device, each time its property pages are displayed (through right-click menu > DirectShow filters), MC rebuilds DirectShow graph and restarts it.
4. Fixed: Enabling the option to increase the volume of DSD by 6dB while bitstreaming would result in broken playback.
5. Changed: YouTube videos get the description of the video for displaying in Theater View.
6. Changed: Added a "Block" parameter to the next call in the web service so that it's possible to have the return of the call wait until the next has been processed.
7. Fixed: The WDM driver wasn't signed properly in build 110.

20.0.110 (5/21/2015)

1. Fixed: Some older jtv files would not play.
2. NEW: Some television channel attributes can be mass-edited (i.e. editing multiple channels in one shot, if they share the same attributes).  Only available (and probably only needed) for STB channels for now.
3. Changed: The day of week label at the top-left corner of Theater view television guide is shown with the day of month at the end (Friday 15, Saturday 16, etc.), to avoid confusion between days of different weeks ("Friday 15" versus "Friday 22").

11. Changed: When running "Rename, Copy, & Move" tool on jtv files, an extra folder, using the filename of the jtv file, will be inserted in the destination path.
12. Fixed: Made the chapter OSD display the new chapter as you switch.
13. Fixed: When running "Rename, Copy, & Move" tool in Copy mode, copying "jtv" files did not work (only a single .jtv file was copied).
14. NEW: Doctor Who preview, a playlist sharing system.  Can now create accounts, upload, download, and view playlists.  

20.0.109 (5/14/2015)

1. Fixed: The rating stars in the Thunder Storm skin were too big in 20.0.107.
2. Fixed: Pinch zooming works again on touch screens for image playback.
3. Fixed: The WDM driver did not install properly in recent builds.

20.0.107 (5/12/2015)

2. Changed: Channel and time based non-subscription TV recording rules can now be edited/configured.
3. Fixed: Double-click to leave an image slideshow wouldn't always work but would instead flick the image to the next image.
4. Fixed: Switching from a TV channel with non-EAC3 audio to one with EAC3 audio could cause playback to go bad.
5. Fixed: MC could not grab thumbnails from videos that were extremely short (a few seconds long).
6. Changed: The ~expand smartlist modifier can take a field name with spaces in it by putting the field name in quotes.
7. Changed: It is now possible to modify a time-based one-time recording and reconfigure it into a subscription, even if the configuration is started in "Recording Rules" view.

5. NEW: Smartlists take the ~expand keyword that takes a field name and expands to every genre, artist, etc. in the match.

1. Fixed: Auto zooming of an image on click should no longer fight with double-click.
2. Changed: Set a maximum height of an edit control in the Tag Action Window.
3. Changed: When the television subscription's program name is edited, the subscription recording rule's name is also changed accordingly.
4. Fixed: Right-clicking on the Analyze Audio tool would bring the window behind to the front.
5. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
6. Fixed: The height of the Audio Calibration dialog could be off a little with high DPI.

Any chance we could get the channel name in the "Artist" field?

I mean, I can make that work by adjusting my views, but the channel name should be the artist, don't you think?
A channel is typically a single person or company, so "Artist" seems more fitting.
 
Genre should really cover the type of video (style/category) rather than who created/published it.

The stock views used in Theater View don't show artist for a video.  I'm not eager to change those views, so decided it was easier to just put the data in genre.

Hopefully you can adjust.

I think I can make it work, though it's not an ideal situation since a lot of the videos in that view (everything is collected in a "Web Videos" view, rather than just YouTube) already have Genre tags.
I don't personally use the genre tags, but they do have pre-existing genres filled out.
 
I don't really like the disconnect for things like Genre: TED rather than Artist: TED
 
I'd say that Genre would be more fitting for the categories that YouTube places their videos into for: Music, Sport, Gaming, Education, Films, TV Shows, News etc.

Dr. Who isn't yet available.  Soon.  Maybe next week.  I described it here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=97869.0

You can see the current playlists here:
userdev.jriver.com/
But nothing will work yet.

I just installed 113 today, I was using 100 with the PixOS skin.

Something has changed with the Export Playlist dialog.  It seems like it's no longer using standard radio buttons.  While 113 works, it causes issues with my automation using BuzOf to automatically click OK.  Is this change intentional and will it remain?  If yes, then of course I'll have to figure something else out for automation.  If not intentional, or if I can convince you to change it back... the normal radio buttons would be better for me...

Don't know if this is just 113 problem or has been there before. This is the first time I have tried this.  I have MC on a PC server windows 7 running 24/7. I have a client on a laptop windows 8.1. When I switch from local library to my server library on the client if there is something playing on the server it stops and reverts back to; movies goes back to movie listing, for tv it goes back to the guide, for music it just stops. I have tried it numersous times and it does the same thing each time.

We never used "standard" anything, since the entire UI is designed using our own UI toolkit.
However, I have fixed the style of checkboxes and radio buttons in PixOS for the next build, they should return to their normal size.

Anyone having problems with data from TheMovieDatabase ?

I upgraded to 113 today and it's not receiving any data from TMDB.

Maybe it's a temporary issue with the api, just checking anyway.

They changed their interface.  We've fixed it.  The build will be available in a few days.
