1. Fixed: The uninstaller could be a wacky size on high DPI monitors.
2. Changed: Setting up recording in Theater view with the record button on remote control will no longer cause the guide to reset to default position. The selected show will remain selected and visible.
3. NEW: When
setting up recording with the remote control record button, an on-screen overlay message will show the action just taken ("Record"/"Subscribe"/"Subscription canceled").
4. Changed: If a data file is played over library server and it's less than one megabyte, it will be downloaded locally and then played.
5. Changed: Doing a Cover Art > Quick Find in File / Cover Art Directory on data files now works.
6.
NEW: Slow-double click on tree items will rename them (if they're renamable).
7. Changed: Broken web links included with Media Center can be fixed without modifying the links.xml file.
8. Fixed: It was possible to configure a zone switch rule so that it was stopping the same zone that it was playing in (and that didn't make any sense).
9. Changed: Initialization of CableCARD TV channel playback is serialized to avoid hanging.
10.
NEW: Ctrl + mouse wheel will adjust the thumbnail size in a list.
11. Changed: Made clicking the 'Report problem...' button in the Logging dialog close the window.
12. Fixed: Shuffling a playlist that was linked didn't update the other playlists in the link.
21.0.49 (2/18/2016)
1. Changed: If shuffle mode is enabled, when the current playlist completes it will reshuffle before continuing.
2. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (
thanks Matteo).
3. Fixed: Right-clicking on tab buttons (Back/Forward/Refresh) in standard view could crash.
4. Changed: Updated File Associations for SSIF (Stereoscopic Interleaved Files), a MPEG-TS variant
5. Fixed: Background EPG loading could be repeated every 20 minutes if the process took longer to complete.
6. Changed: MC will wake up the system in sleep to perform EPG loading tasks.
7. Changed MC will try preventing the system from going to sleep if there is an EPG loading task being performed or if there is going to be a TV recording or EPG loading within the next 30 seconds.
8. NEW:
Middle-click on a tab header will roll through the list styles.
21.0.48 (2/12/2016)
1. Changed: It takes half as much flick to switch images as before.
2. NEW: In standard television EPG view, the date column display format is configurable. Right click the Date column header to choose. "All Programs" and "To Be Recorded" views share the same setting, and "Recordings" view is configured separately.
3. Fixed: "Get Movie & TV Info" lookup by Episode Name was broken in recent builds.
4. Changed: Updated the Chinese translation (thanks SunYanJun!).
5. Fixed: Using the Tag Action Window could crash.
21.0.47 (2/11/2016)
1. Changed: If a web link doesn't have a search URL specified, it will fall back to the base URL for navigation.
2. Changed: Reverted the web links version back to 1.2 so custom links won't be erased. Note: If you have custom links, in order to apply fixes made to broken links, you will need to select "Reset All Links To Default" from the Manage Links dialog.
21.0.46 (2/10/2016)
1. Fixed: Lists that didn't support grouping could still get grouped if the parent list was grouped.
2. Changed: Clicking a Blu-ray or DVD in Theater View will give a menu of choices instead of just playing.
3. Fixed: TV Subscription could record a show that had already been recorded, if the repeat airing had a different duration (typical of sports games).
4. Changed: The filename is no longer added to custom tooltips (customized with the Tooltip field). Just add [Filename] if you want it.
5. NEW: "Season", "Episode", "Rule ID", and "Rule Name" can be optionally displayed in Standard view EPG views ("All Programs", "To Be Recorded", and "Recordings"). Default is to show them all. Right-click any column header to choose which ones to display. Also "Recording Rules" view show recording rule ID along side recording rule name.
6. Changed: Updated the FFmpeg version used for file analysis and transcoding.
7. Changed: Greatly improved the quality of AAC audio in transcoded video files.
8. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).

16. Fixed: Sometimes when
ripping a compilation CD, tracks would go to separate folders rather than a single '(Multiple Artists)/<album name>' folder.
17. Changed: Television programs that are entirely covered in the padding of adjacent to be recorded programs will not be marked as "to be recorded".
21.0.45 (2/4/2016)
1. Changed: Added a time-out user configuration for EPG loading when running an external XMLTV application inside MC (previously we used a hard-coded 20 minutes value).
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (
thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
3. Changed: When playback is set for an external program on video files, thumbnailing still uses the internal engine (previously it wouldn't thumbnail).
4. Changed: Television entries in the database can be run through the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.
5. Changed: When picking "Fill Track Numbers From List Order" with only one track selected it will set the track number to one instead of complaining that two tracks need to be selected.
6. Fixed: When certain TV errors occurred, the tuner was not released properly.
7. (Possibly) Fixed: When multiple TV recordings start at the same time on CableCARD tuners MC could hang.
8. Changed: Files marked as "Short" can be looked up with the Get Movie & TV Info... tool.

1. Fixed: There was an unwanted text dimensions change in build 41.
21.0.41 (1/28/2016)
1. Fixed: The WDM driver was not properly signed since 21.0.37.

3. Changed: Made the TV engine a little more crash-resistant.
4. Fixed: TV recording failure was not handled properly.
5. Changed: Updated Korean translation (thanks Junghwan!).
6. Fixed: The 3d visualization could have images upside down if the rotation flag was set.
7. Fixed: It wasn't possible to create a playlist group called "Downloaded" because of conflict with Doctor Who playlists.
8. Fixed: Thread was hard killed on MC exit if a Doctor Who background process was running at time of shutdown.
21.0.40 (1/26/2016)
1. NEW: Added the expression function Literal(...) that just outputs the text that's in parenthesis (useful for making a readable block of code).
2. Changed: The Playing Now roller item is shown on the top roller when in playlists (previously it only showed in the library).
3. Changed: Restoring a library with the restore library and restore settings checkboxes both un-checked will show an error message and not continue.
4. Changed: When running "Get Movie & TV Info..." in automatic mode (multiple file selection), MC re-tries on failure by resetting episode number and or season number.
5. Fixed: Clearing Playing Now from the right-click menu with something playing would take a long time if there was a big prebuffer setting and a fadeout on stop mode.
6. Changed: Improved TV guide data by importing these fields (if present in xmltv file): writers, presenters, aspect ratio. Improved TV/Movie rating tag by distinguishing MPAA rating and MPAA rating advisaries.
7. Changed: If guide data file indicates that a show is an HDTV show, "HDTV" is added to keywords field.
8. Changed: When MC tries to determine whether a program has been previously recorded, or already scheduled to record, Program ID trumps everything else (such as program title, series title) that a user specified to compare.
9. Fixed: Using a Custom Advanced video mode could cause stream and subtitle selection to be unavailable.
10. Fixed: Restoring the tree with Help > Check for Updates wouldn't redraw properly.
11. Changed: MC will always compare dates when encountering "previously-shown" element in an xmltv file to determine whether a show is a re-run, if the "start" attribute is present. Previously re-run is assumed if "previously-shown" is present, without regard to the "start" attribute.
12. Changed: If "date" element is not found for a program in an xmltv file, but "previously-shown" "start" attribute is found, the latter is saved in "Date" field.
13. Changed: "OriginalAirDate" in PercData EPG files is saved in MC's "Date" field when loading PercData data.
14. Fixed: Installing licenses wasn't working on XP since the switch to Visual Studio 2015.
15. Changed: Updated the Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
21.0.39 (1/21/2016)
1. Changed: For television recording rule setup, integer comparison is allowed for [Season] field. Now one can set up rules that allow recording of a series with [Season] higher than 15, or [Season] is higher than 8 and lower than 12, etc.
2. Fixed: Mixed artist albums would display as multiple albums on library server clients that didn't use the same directory separator as the server.
3. Changed: DVB-S tuner type is enabled for all countries on Television Setup wizard.
4. Fixed: Text spacing could be off a little in build 38.
5. Changed: Mouse wheel in television playback is handled in the same way as in video file playback. Mouse wheel without CTRL or SHIFT key skips forward/backward. Mouse wheel with SHIFT or CTRL key down zooms video.
6. Changed: In Theater view television guide, shows that are to be recorded as part of a subscription will have an orange circle in front of the show name, in stead of a read circle for one-time recordings.
7. Changed: The behavior of pressing record button on remote control in Theater view televsion guide is changed. If the show has not been scheduled to be recorded yet, pressing the record button sets the show to be recorded. Pressing the button on a show already scheduled for one-time recording changes the one-time recording to a subscription. Pressing the button on a show scheduled for subscription cancels the subscription.
8. Changed: The Unswap expression function understands Jr., Sr., etc. and does the unswapping special when those are present.
