1. Changed: When TV tuner failure occurs MC will not show a popup since an OSD message is already displayed. A popup could interfere with attempt to restart the playback.
2. Changed: Holding Ctrl while clicking pane tag checkboxes will enter "list" mode so that you can select multiple genres, etc.
3. Changed: Added "is not" operator for editing TV recording rules involving "Name", "Series", and "Description".
4. Changed: "Modify Rules" is renamed "Edit Rules" on TV subscription wizard page.
5. Fixed: Edit controls in read-only mode allowed backspace to delete characters.

11. Changed: The "Channel" multiple-selection drop list for search based subscription on TV recording wizard now uses "selected items on top" style.
12. Changed: The XML files created by mc2xml will be deleted 24 hours after they are created, instead of waiting until MC restarts (but restarting MC will delete them too).
13.
NEW: If a TV tuner fails to play a TV channel, MC will put it in an error state temporarily, and retry playing, so it will find another tuner for the job.
14. Fixed: Using the Move/Copy Fields tool on the Date field would end up with wacky values in the date (because it's actually a floating point number) instead of taking the value and interpreting it as a date.

7. Changed: Updated French translation (

8. Changed: Theater View only takes sidecar art that's of the name [Name][extra stuff].[extension] so that it won't get false matches when a lot of videos are stored next to each other.

Webpage files (htm and html) play inside the player in the internal browser instead of launching a web browser application.

21.0.12 (10/08/2015)
1. Changed: Picking a smaller number of Car Radio buttons no longer deletes the playlists above that number. It'll leave them so if you set the count higher they'll come back.
