1. Changed: Updated the default podcast feeds (thanks for the help!) (right-click Podcasts in the tree and pick Add Default Feeds).

21.0.59 (3/17/2016)

3. Changed: The LFE low-pass in the Output Format DSP handles the settings for downmix and upmix separately (with separate defaults as well).

5. Changed: When doing TV tuner device sorting, the tuners that are preferred by some channels will be put to the bottom of the list to avoid them being picked up by channels that do not have a preferred device.
6. Changed: Updated the Chromium Web Engine to the latest version.

3. NEW: Added version 3 uPnP controller support. (fixes Jongo Pure T2 rendering control)
4. NEW: When subscribing to television shows, one can specify video quality preference (HD vs. SD) so MC will pick correct channel among channels that air the same show at the same time.
5. Changed: When HD or SD preference is not specified, MC will favor Favorite channels when dealing with subscription TV recordings.  For channels with identical favorite status, the custom channel ordering is used to pick a channel.

21.0.53 (2/29/2016)

1. Fixed: Theater View background images were not working reliably on Intel GPUs since 21.0.51.
2. NEW: Output Format DSP can lowpass the LFE/Subwoofer when downmixing, or exclude it from the downmix entirely.
3. Changed: Backed out the Ctrl + mouse wheel thumbnail size adjustment from 21.0.50 since it prevents multi-selection and scrolling in a view.

1. Fixed: MCE remotes weren't working.

21.0.51 (2/25/2016)

3. Fixed: Television recording folder could be erroneously reset to default without user input.
4. Fixed: Web media sites didn't live through a library backup / restore.

6. NEW: Added the option "Use gapless for manual track changes" to switch to gapless from whatever is configured when switching manually.
7. Changed: Confusing error message when "Next" was clicked in remote control options window, if you were missing a blaster capable "transceiver", it used the word "receiver" rather than "transceiver".
8. Changed: Mouse wheel will be honored over the volume slider in Theater View's Playing Now.
9. Changed: Mouse wheel will be honored over the position slider in Theater View's Playing Now.
10. Changed: Disabled D3D9Ex rendering in Theater View in favor of traditional D3D9 to potentially work-around hangs on some GPUs. Please report any new issues.
11. Changed: Made the mouse wheel over Theater View Playing Now's display area switch the display types.
12. Changed: Updated the Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).

21.0.50 (2/22/2016)

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").

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).

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.

4. Changed: Updated the Chinese translation (thanks SunYanJun!).
5. Fixed: Using the Tag Action Window could crash.

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.

Still sluggish gui since version 21.0.54 when using dlna push play. Going back to 21.0.50 solves the problem.

[bob]

Still sluggish gui since version 21.0.54 when using dlna push play. Going back to 21.0.50 solves the problem.

Fixed: Revert change from 21.0.54 that resulted in extra calls to get the volume of DLNA devices which could make the GUI sluggish with slow responding devices.

Will be in the next build
