21.0.24 (11/24/2015)

1. Changed: When loading on-line EPG data, MC will create programs for all channels that match a given xmltv ID, instead of just creating them for the first found matching channel.
2. Optimized: The amount of time required for performing "filling in gaps with dummy EPG program info" (feature introduced in build 21) is significantly reduced.
3. Fixed: If in-place editing was used to change the filename field to an invalid value (like blank, or a name without a path), MC would not report an error and the data for that file could be lost.
4. Fixed: The 'Delete' accelerator would translate in fullscreen and want to delete the files that were behind the playing view.
5. Changed: Added 'Playlists' as a type to the new Action Window Tag page so that you don't have to use Custom(Playlists) to view playlists.
6. Changed: The rule for a user account is applied when dropping a set of files onto a playlist.
7. Changed: The rule for a user account is applied when double-clicking a file in Explorer.
8. Changed: Updated the copyright date in the Media Editor and CDLabeler.
9. Changed: Made the zones in the Playing Now overview a little wider on high DPI.
10. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
11. Fixed: The filenames when getting artist images for Last.fm would be a series of random numbers instead of jpg.
12. Fixed: Color Coding of Theater View TV guide grid only worked for Obsidian skin.
13. Changed: Increased opacity of colored cells in Theater View guide grid so that they will be easier to see in some skins such as Glass.
14. Changed: The Swap(...) function will nicely handle semi-colon delimited lists and swap each element (before it would stumble).
15. Changed: Made the Unswap(...) function also accept a semi-colon delimited list.
16. Fixed: Clicking a checkbox in DSP Studio would hide the window if the current window was active before clicking the checkbox.

21.0.23 (11/17/2015)

1. Fixed: The search box could be too tall.
2. Fixed: Minimized action windows could disappear instead of minimize.
3. Fixed: Attached drives would show up in Action Window > Camera.

21.0.22 (11/16/2015)

1. Fixed: The publisher listed on the uninstall dialog would be "J. River, Inc." instead of "JRiver, Inc.".
2. Fixed: Double-click in an empty area of the Recording Rules list would crash.
3. Fixed: Further problems with the Noire skin on Windows 7.
4. Fixed: Search Window magnifying glass icon was offset too far to the right on scaled displays.

21.0.21 (11/14/2015)

1. Changed: The splitter in Playing Now is now zone specific so that having two Playing Now views open will allow independent setting of the splitter.
2. Fixed: The skin's close/maximize/restore/minimize buttons were offset to the right in popup windows (off the edge of the window).
3. NEW: MC will create dummy programs to fill in gaps in the programming guide data.  Now all active channels will show up in Theater view even if they have no EPG data.
4. Changed: More cancel checking in DLNA threads to hopefully prevent hangs, crashes from hard killed threads.

21.0.20 (11/13/2015)

1. Fixed: The Library/GetStats function in MCWS was returning an error code (even though the results were there).
2. Changed: Program IDs and Series IDs (if available) are saved in new fields "Program ID" and "Series ID" when importing EPG guide data.
3. Fixed: In recent builds newly recorded television sports shows did not show up under Video / Shows / Recent in Theater view, instead they appeared in Video / Other / Recent.
4. Changed: Consolidated and renamed video conversion profile listings (they are now consistently named in all areas where they are used).
5. Changed: Adjusted the way searches are handled to improve the results.
6. Fixed: Searching for users in a smartlist wasn't working.
7. NEW: Option to use the DVD episode order when doing manual Get Movie & TV Info lookup for TV Shows.
8. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
9. Fixed: When using PercData as EPG source, all programs scheduled for midnight UTC time were missing.
10. Fixed: DSP Studio > Output Format wouldn't save the sample rates properly when running with a translation.
11. NEW: Theater view television guide grid is color-coded according to show categories.  The following types are colored: Movies (of all genres), Educational, Children, Sports, News.
12. Changed: Made the minimum size of DSP Studio a little smaller.
13. Changed: The Action Window timer for starting an import only runs if the frame is visible (so minimizing the program will yield the run).
14. Fixed: Thumbnail lists could have a wrong size for the ideal aspect ratio.
15. Changed: Toned down the speed and number of blinks of the Action Window so it now blinks twice and stops.
16. Changed: When entering Theater view television guide, MC always selects the currently playing program (if any).
17. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
18. NEW: Television guide grid in Theater view is updated every half hour.
19. NEW: Added an MCC command MCC_SET_ZONE_VISIBLE (22033) to show the current zone in standard view.
20. Fixed: DLNA code was crashing when a problem device on the network was causing our Accept call to hang, it wasn't getting canceled so thread was hard killed leading to crashes.
21. Fixed: There was a memory leak in the socket code (all platforms).
22. Changed: Socket error messages in the log are now readable strings (windows) and implemented the error codes (linux, mac).

21.0.19 (10/30/2015)

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.
6. Changed: Added text instruction on TV recording rules editing window, regarding AND and OR operations on rules.
7. NEW: Editing a checkbox type field in the new Tag Action Window will show a checkbox instead of a dropbox.
8. Changed: Editing a checkbox type field in Pane tagging is now possible.
9. Changed: Opening the new Tag Action Window with shift held will then always open the new tag window after that (just press shift again to switch back).
10. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
11. Fixed: Flickering screen on the edges when playing video on certain computers in Red October Standard, in build 18.
12. Changed: Improved duplication avoidance when dealing with subscription television recording rules with "all channels" option.
13. Fixed: WebGizmo did not work in recent builds.
14. Fixed: Video transcoding profiles which used MP2 or MP3 audio did not function properly.

21.0.18 (10/26/2015)

1. Changed: When picking 'Convert Format' the Action Window page will blink to make it more obvious where the focus should be.
2. Fixed: Action Window pages weren't blinking properly.
3. NEW: Improved support for video seeking with DLNA renderers which do not support time-based seeking (ie. byte-seeking).
4. Changed: Allowing 'Concert' media sub types in the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.
5. Changed: Made the step size of the OSD when controlling color controls smaller.
6. Fixed: HEVC 10-bit hardware decoding is supported in Red October Standard on supported hardware.
7. Fixed: Image playback wasn't disabling the system from sleeping.
8. NEW: A new system for setting up television subscription recording.
9. Fixed: RAW images could have thumbnails that were rotated incorrectly (hopefully fixed, but feedback appreciated).
10. Changed: TV subscription recording rule name and program name are independent of each other and can be independently edited on the subscription wizard.
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.

21.0.17 (10/20/2015)

1. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
2. Fixed: Sibelius was not running with the ASIO driver installed.
3. Changed: 4K Hardware accelerated decoding is enabled in Red October.
4. Fixed: Streaming video to JRemote or Gizmo could get disrupted near the end of the video in recent versions.
5. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
6. Changed: PercData download cache files are deleted 24 hours after being created.
7. Fixed: LibRAW could crash when opening files.
8. Changed: Doing a delete from the library will not offer the option to delete or recycle the underlying file if the selection set contains a particle.

21.0.16 (10/16/2015)

1. Changed: The height of "Manage Channels" window is reduced so that the buttons in the bottom will not be pushed off screen when a reasonably large font is used.
2. Changed: Added a couple of tool tips in television subscription wizard.
3. Fixed: The "Compare fields:" drop list on television subscription wizard page was not initially grayed out when "Do not record programs that have been recorded in the past" was not selected.
4. Fixed: Hitting Ctrl+P in Theater View's Playing Now could cause start up silence to be skipped.
5. Changed: The output xmltv file of mc2xml will not be deleted until MC is restarted.
6. Changed: When loading EPG in MC2XML mode, the wait message "Loading EPG data.  MC2XML provider token: xxxxxxxx" will remain on display more reliably.
7. Fixed: Images in Theater View could draw improperly in certain cases.
8. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).

21.0.15 (10/14/2015)

1. Fixed: DSP presets set for video files didn't load properly.
2. Changed: The PercData genres for TV programs are saved in Keywords tag, to be consistent with treatment of XMLTV data.
3. Changed: Mapped more XMLTV program "categories" to MC Genre field.
4. Fixed: DVB TV channels with video PID equal to 0x1fff were not marked as audio-only (and thus were not played correctly).
5. Fixed: Drop panes weren't working properly.
6. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
7. Fixed: Webpage playback could result in a black screen until the player was resized.
8. Fixed: PercData EPG data had time shifted by a few hours.
9. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
10. Fixed: Made the ASIO driver work with Sony Movie Studio.

Works now on my ThunderStorm skin; thanks.

15. Changed: Made the Unswap(...) function also accept a semi-colon delimited list.

This isn't working for me, at least not in an expression for thumbnail display (Standard View) or in display name for groupings in Theater View.

I downloaded the MC21 version from last week. I used it to convert some FLAC files to ALAC and added tags/data. The files I created crashed my home MC18 100% of the time, even on importing. I installed MC21 at home and that fixed the problem.

11. Fixed: The filenames when getting artist images for Last.fm would be a series of random numbers instead of jpg.

It appears that it isn't handling gif files correctly.  They are getting a jpg extension when it's actually a gif.  png seems to be working OK.

Example artists that are actually gif images:
Boxcar Willie
E. Power Biggs
Orbital

Thanks.  We'll try to have that fixed next build.  That's assuming the server returns "image/gif" for the type of the image, which I'm pretty sure it will.

It's working here.

For example:
UnSwap(Einstein/, Albert; Lauren/, Polo Ralph)

Outputs:
Albert Einstein; Polo Ralph Lauren

Problems with Move/Copy other ressources which are not importeted. PDF files in the Album directory seems to be broken. It doesn´t move the pdf to the new directory. It worked with pervious version. The PDF is not imported

solved, they were on in another app. It would be great to show the "opther ressources" in the copy screen in the same manner as the "imported files"

Yes, it may do the unswapping/swapping within the semi-colons; but the semi-colons themselves cease to function as delimiters. They now are just plain-vanilla semi-colons. Can we get them to be recognized as making a list, again?

Please start a thread and give more details about the problem.  Thanks.
