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.

What does this relate to? Is it a click when stop is pressed, or this? :

Loud burst of noise occurred when starting a new track on a different album after stopping a previous track. Both tracks are the same Sample Rate (384k) AIFF format. Noise was enough to trigger the protective shutdown on the power amp

It was for a click pressing stop, but the initial report is that it's not working.  So the option might not remain.

I've defined the [Rating (ten stars)] custom field and inserted "RatingStars10([Rating (ten stars)])" into thumbnail text, but I'm still not getting any black stars.

Also, how do you change playing now/customiseable display to use a graphical ten stars instead of five to rate things while they play? This would be especially useful in theatre view, where I could, for example, swipe right ten times using Gizmo to rate a given track as ten stars.

EDIT: Just realised that you can't. Would it be feasible to implement, or is it one of those things that sounds easy on paper, but is, in reality, rather daunting or time-consuming?

I would though this would be a priority. Has not occurred since, but not too keen on trying to reproduce it. Can no longer rely on Internal Volume, instead using the DAC volume in-case it happens again.

20.0.123 (6/29/2015)
9. Changed: The Theater View artist image is built from the album artist field instead of the artist field (if it's filled).

Please change this back.  It broke the Theater View background images pulled from Last.fm, Google, etc for all my compilation (Album Artist=Various Artists) and sountrack (Album Artist=Sountrack) album tracks. 

I sounds like it didn't fix what the original request was for either:

It only did what @Dawgincontrol feared it would do.

I have experienced clicks with ASIO on both stop and play with USB DACs based either on XMOS (various implementation and driver) or Amanero.
Clicks are more pronounced with output converted to DSD: native or DoP makes no difference.

Is it possible that MCs DSD converter starts with some residual of previous conversions, thus creating noise bursts?

BTW, the new option to pause on stop has no effect on clicks.

The rating stars in the PixOS skin when the track pane is in focus for the selected track... are very hard to see since the rating stars were changed from asterisks to actual stars.

Hi! I updated to MC 20.0.124 on my three windows machines (as usual), two with Win7 and ine with Win 8.1. All three reacted - or rather their F-secure antivirus software - by saying that there was a trojan i the MC exe-file that had to be removed. I did so and then the MC program was gone :-(
Installed latest stable version 20.0.115 and everything works fine again. Someone else got this problem?

It isn't MC.  It's your antivirus program.  Please report it to them.

Did i miss something or doesn't format conversion support mp3 'constant' bitrates?

My Car radio only supports mp3 with cbr bitrate.
Every setting i tried until now (MC 20.0.124 synching with usb stick) results in vbr bitrates, also with forced cbr bitrate enabled.

I think thats bug:

When I have in the options at Tools-> Options-> Start up-> Windows Startup->3rd option, that's the Media Server (allows library sharing).

If I run audio or video files from the hard disk, MC is staring on the front, like I think shot be but if I load DVD, MC is asking me if I want to played in the player. I press yes, the playing start but in the background, so there is no active window, like is with the local files.
