A Mac version should be available on this board later today.

This newsletter should also go out later today.  Thanks for reporting any typos.  There are a couple of loose ends that we're fixing this morning.

---------

Good Day,
Have you been wishing for something new and exciting?  JRiver Media Center 22 is now available on our forum.  It's at an early stage, and many more changes are coming.  We invite you to join in the fun of shaping the future of digital media.  One of our goals is to make MC easier to use without reducing its capabilities.  You can help us if you're willing.

Download MC22
Downloads can be found on the new MC22 boards.

Upgrade Deals
Early Bird prices on upgrades are available now, starting at $19.98, for owners of any previous version.  If you have already upgraded, thanks very much for your support!  You can just download and install.

Audio
NEW:  MC has a new high quality Sox resampler.  NEW:  Memory playback now allows full albums.  NEW:  Cover art during playback for tracks that lack cover art.  NEW:  Right click Car Radio buttons to select playlist to use.  NEW:  Hold shift to select volume for all linked zones.

TV
NEW:  Improved ATSC Electronic Program Guide over-the-air scanning.  NEW:  Support for DVB HD channels that use HEVC/H.265 encoding.  NEW:  Improved crash handling for restarting automatically.  NEW:  DVB TV has a new "Audio programs" context menu to switch audio on-the-fly .  COMING SOON: "Year" field will be available for TV Recording rules; Over-the-Air EPG scanning for DVB TV.

Remote Control
NEW:  Panel is a sleek new web interface app that provides access to MC playback in a way that is easy and appealing for casual users.  It uses HTML5 to do some cool things.  It includes a few remote setup features for MC.  Instructions are at the end of the first post.

Lights, Camera, Action
NEW:  Engen, JRiver's lighting control, is a brand new companion program, available at a reduced price of $20.  You can use it to control lights and switches from any browser.  Engen is reached from a button in Panel.  It requires a USB Z Stick and devices that support Z-Wave: bulbs, switches, outlets, outlet strips, etc.  More here.

More New Features
NEW:  Fields can be configured as "Linkable" so that they'll show the little link icon.  Analyze audio when importing a single folder.  Plans for MC22.

OneRemote
NEW:  In August we will introduce a new Android app called OneRemote on the Play Store.  It is a customizable menu app.  You can make your own menu buttons to group and control media, lights, switches, other apps and many other things.  You can add backgrounds based on photos that you find or take.  You can choose your own organizational structure, in a way that is similar to creating your own structure of folders.  The entire menu can be shared to the cloud and restored on another machine.  OneRemote is $9.98, and will be available for less initially.

Thanks Again
As always, we deeply appreciate your support and advice.  We'll see you on the forum.

Warm regards,

JRiver

I'm pretty sure TV doesn't work on the Mac version, so you might want to take that part out.  Otherwise, looks good.  I look forward to testing MC22.

Also might want to mention that SoX is Windows-only for the time being.
