21.0.76 (4/27/2015)

1. Changed: Skin DSP effects are no longer applied to the small images in a list (but still should be applied to checkboxes, etc.).

3. NEW: Double-click on the media server tray icon will show Media Center.
4. Fixed: The 'Export to iTunes & iPhone' dialog didn't scale nicely on high DPI.

21.0.73 (4/14/2016)

2. Fixed: The search section of the JRMark got unintentionally slower starting in 21.0.39.

21.0.72 (4/13/2016)

1. Changed: The search suggestion box won't hide when the focus is in the search box (even if the mouse moves a lot or is a long ways away).
2. Changed: Made one more deletion in the cover art cleanup stage use the recycle bin instead of hard delete.

21.0.71 (4/12/2016)

1. Changed: Made the cover art cleanup function use the recycle bin instead of hard deleting the files.

3. NEW: A "Recording by time" option in Theater View to schedule television recording based on channel and time.
4. Fixed: If default recording option "Cleanup mode" was set at "keep at most N episodes", and a recording was scheduled as a non-subscription recording, the "keep at most N episodes" options was still applied by default, even though it made no sense for non-subscription recordings.  Now the option will switch to "Keep forever".

21.0.68 (4/4/2016)

2. Changed: On Television property page, the "Recording default - Days to keep" or "Recording default - Episodes to keep" is enabled only if relevant option is selected in "Recording default - Cleanup mode", to avoid confusion.

6. Fixed: Playback could stall with a black screen after the movie ends on DVDs without a menu.
7. Fixed: Removing a rule from a Smartlist would sometimes leave the dialog in a funny state.

21.0.66 (3/25/2016)

1. Changed: Added more logging for CableCARD television tuners.
2. Fixed: Hidden tree items don't get reshown as a search result in Options.

5. Changed: Updated Italian translation file (thanks Matteo).
6. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
7. 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.

21.0.63 (3/20/2016)

1. Changed: Added some crash prevention measures in television engine involving CableCARD tuners.
2. Fixed: Cover art "Get From Internet" could crash since 21.0.61.

21.0.62 (3/18/2016)

1. Changed: Updated the default podcast feeds (thanks for the help!) (right-click Podcasts in the tree and pick Add Default Feeds).
2. Fixed: Doctor Who playlist post-processing was running too often and wasn't canceling properly so could cause a deadlock.

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.
7. Fixed: Amazon Prime video playback did not work when using the Chromium Engine.
8. NEW: In Theater View television guide, a vertical line is drawn to indicate current time.

21.0.74 (4/19/2016)
1. Changed: The applied DSP effect like inversion, etc. will get applied to the checkmark and other small icons drawn in the lists.

Thank you. Another bug with inverted skins here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=104498.0

[Castius]

Not sure if it's something on my end. But JRiver is hanging a lot.
Just clicking on different views from video to audio
reverting to 72 for for now seems better. Will test again later

[HiFiTubes]

90% percent of the time MC hangs when closing, will not close, and needs to have task terminated. Please investigate.

I have mailed logs but you don't respond. Dealing with this for 3 months. Nvidia related?

Please use another thread on this.  I doubt that it is an MC bug.

21.0.76 (4/27/2015)
-------------
21.0.70 (4/8/2016)

4. Changed: Switched the limit for calculating all the volume leveling information from 10,000 tracks to 50,000 tracks.

Was this enhancement changed in 21.0.76 for some reason?  It doesn't seem to work anymore past 16 000 songs or so....Was fine with 0.72

It's just inconsistent for some reason...Can't nail it down to a specific number...

My guess is that you hit a track which is not analyzed, which would make it fallback to the "safe" mode as well.

[imeric]

I did add a few tracks which were not yet analysed indeed....I'll check this out later out in the day thank you Hendrik

EDIT: YEP.  That did it everything is OK.   Thanks for pointing it out!

1) VST Convolver stopped convolving properly after this update. Appears to play OK (no error messages) but sound is badly mangled and analyzer shows a clear mess; massive clipping w/o normalization, severely mangled FR with normalization. Several filters were working fine before the update, but now none of them works. Nothing else has changed. Filters are from Audiolense.
2) Borderlands 2 through Steam hangs up when using the WDM. This also worked fine before.

Check that your output device is set correctly. I've had the default device in my WDM Zone change at random recently for no apparent reason, which also caused playback to break.
It seems that if something prevents WDM playback, e.g. trying to send the wrong audio format to a device, the WDM driver completely locks up and stalls or crashes the application trying to play audio. Seems like a major issue.

I got the same problem. Reinstalled a previous version and it works fine.

[Greg6510]

This version is crashing when attempting to delete multiple files. 

[beburi]

I got the same problem. Reinstalled a previous version and it works fine.

I discovered a workaround: Change the Setup/Filter Format from 32 bit float (default) to 64 bit float. Regenerate filters and go. I don't think a new measurement is required, but I'm not sure since I made a new measurement for some new speakers. I have another installation with alternate filter format setting and it was unaffected by the update. Now both are working.

Hmmm, could this change have anything to do with it? "2. Fixed: 32-bit integer WAV files wouldn't play properly."

Issue 2 was resolved by an Nvidia driver update today. I use their HDMI audio driver.

Could you send me the 32-bit file that's not working properly anymore?  I'm matt at jriver dot com.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I think I got it for next build.  From the history:
Fixed: 32-bit extensible WAV files wouldn't play properly (could cause convolution trouble).

Thanks.

I saw your post regarding the fix. I've attached an affected 32 bit float .wav filter from Audiolense in case you need it (as .jpeg). I'll also test after the next update.

[Trumpetguy]

JRiver internal convolution sounds weird in .76. Just a lot, really a lot, of rumble and some distand echoes of the higher frequency audio. Only tested on 7.1 (upmixed stereo and multichannel sources).

Reverted back to .72 and it sounds just fine.
