21.0.48 (2/12/2016)

1. Fixed: Seeking a video while deinterlacing was active caused playback to break.
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.

4. Fixed: Using the Tag Action Window could crash.

21.0.45 (2/9/2016)

10. NEW: Added a Wikipedia link to the video section which will search for entries relating to a selected video title.
11. Fixed: More fixes for crashes caused by hard-killing background threads
12. Fixed: An issue with tagging errors could cause a crash when Media Center was closed.

21.0.31 (12/30/2015)

1. Fixed: External web pages were not showing because of new defaults for Webview in Xcode 7.

21.0.30 (12/30/2015)

1. Fixed: Rename, Move, & Copy dialog wasn't working in "find and replace" mode for renaming files coming from a Windows sytem (e.g. replace "C:\Music\" with "/Music/")
2. Fixed: In the Rename, Move, & Copy dialog you couldn't expand the column widths enough to see the whole filename.
3. Fixed: Some popup tool windows save their position and size if the user has adjusted them, this was not happening on Mac.
4. Fixed: DSP Studio was blinking with VST effects installed (the fix is wider and might also make drawing in general more efficient).
5. Fixed: Logging could crash MC under some circumstances.
6. Changed: Made the "Rename, Move, & Copy Files" tool no longer available when connected to a server (because the results were confusing anyway).
7. Fixed: Fixed potential hangs/crashes and memory leaks in networking code.
8. Changed: Library Server Sync is more robust against sync errors when the Library Server is restarted.
9. Changed: Enabled DoP bitstreaming for DSD256.

15. Fixed: MCWS would send an unexpected server error response after the normal response when receiving HTTP POST requests with Keep-Alive.
16. Fixed: When resampling, the source format listed in DSP Studio wouldn't get updated properly when switching tracks.

21.0.25 (12/4/2015)

1. Fixed: Data files such as PDF's would not start up the default application when double clicked.
2. Changed: Enabled DoP bitstreaming for DSD256 (experimental).
3. Fixed: Some message boxes were slightly cut off at the bottom in Retina mode.

7. Fixed: Thumbnail creation for Videos would often crash JRWorker.
8. Changed: Took the (experimental) label off retina mode.
9. Fixed: When MC was maximized and user double-clicked on the title bar, app would correctly exit maximized mode, but would always position at the screen origin rather than the correct previous origin.
10. Fixed: When MC was maximized and user single clicked on the title bar, app would exit maximized mode which should only happen on double-click.
11. NEW: MC now supports the system preference setting for double-clicking the title bar.  Three settings: 1. Disabled, 2. Maximize/Restore, 3. Minimize.
12. Changed: Display defaults to retina mode if the primary monitor is high-res and the user had never selected a setting.

14. NEW: Doctor Who is now available under Playlists.  30 second samples not quite working yet.

2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added an image playback mode 'Display images using a 2D renderer' to the options of Images.  Will use a 2D space for rendering instead of a 3D space.  Mostly for Linux / Mac, but please test.
4. NEW: Added the MCWS/v1/Playback/PlayPlaylist function to play a playlist in a specified zone.
5. NEW: Sending files to a particular zone disables Zone Switch from engaging.

14. Changed: When a zone is cleared, it will clear all the linked zones as well (applies to MCWS/v1/Playback/ClearPlaylist but also other areas as well).
15. Changed: Added a few more 'o' character variations to the diacritical ignoring code.
16. NEW: MCWS Browse/Children contains more information about the type of the entry, and the PlaylistID if appropriate (only when requesting Version 2).
17. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo).
18. Changed: Added a few more diacriticals to the list of things for ignoring during sorting.

This release appears to have corrupted my library.  It won't launch past bouncing on the dock.  Reinstalling the previous version produces the same result.  Removing my Media Center 21 directory allows either to launch.  I tried to re-license v48, but it hangs after the license.

Reinstalling v45, removing the Media Center 21 directory, and re-licensing it doesn't seem to work either.  MC just hangs forever.  It's not bouncing on the dock.  Just running with no visible windows or activity.

I believe I'm dead in the water here.  Any advice?

Brian.

[glynor]

Uh, oh. I can help you get going again. PM me or make a new thread.

Edit: For the record, I am not having any trouble like that with this build.

v48 (as did v45) loses all custom 'managed links'

[blgentry]

I'm retracting my earlier statement until I can test again.  I have v45 working again, so I think my system may have been at fault.  Sorry for the false alarm.   

Brian.

[blgentry]

Ok, I've re-tested and there appears to be nothing wrong with V48 as I previously erroneously reported.  Sorry about that.

I just tested the deinterlacing and video jump seek behavior.  Deinterlacing is still working correctly and jump seek now works as it used to!  Thanks Hendrick. 

Brian.

[Afrosheen]

11. Changed: Made a change to the tagging window to prevent editing tags when no files are selected.

Can an option be added to disable this change introduced in ver .30?

[Awesome Donkey]

The install dialog is cut off with a scrollbar on El Capitan with the default window size...



Maybe this should be horizontal instead of vertical?

[blgentry]

^ The dialog has looked like that, on OS X, for the all of the releases in the last 6 to 12 months.

v48 (as did v45) loses all custom 'managed links'

There was a version change to the web links manager in version 45 and version 48 reverted that change. If you restore a backup from before installing build 45, that should restore any lost links. However, this will leave the Rotten Tomatoes link broken and the new wiki link in videos missing, but both can be manually fixed. The instructions for this can be found here:

[MikeBRG]

Either on build 45 or 48 the instruction /update tags (from library) within the Library Tools menu stopped working. Can be found by right clicking on album cover or from Tools menu.

Previously - on build 31 and all previous versions and builds, you got an information report when the task was complete. Now there is nothing. Its not a focus issue. It may be that the report itself is not being generated but it seems from the silence that the command is not actually being carried out. Is this intended as it is a useful command, occasionally?

I am on OS 10.8.5 on an iMac with HD as a player with music files on a NAS.

Mike

[blgentry]

^ The command definitely works.  I just deleted an XML sidecar file, for a video in my library, then ran Update tags (from library).  It re-created the file, so I'm sure it's writing to it.  But you're right, there's no indication that the command completes inside of MC.
