7. Fixed: The Settings HTML page for Panel was not loading in Windows
8. Fixed: Importing a single folder could analyze the audio even if that wasn't selected.
9. Fixed: CableCARD tuners were not fully released upon stopping in build 12.

22.0.12 (7/21/2016)

1. Changed: Made the WAV and AIFF plugin support the memory playback added last build.
2. Fixed: Audio format was set incorrectly for TV channels using RAW AAC format.

4. NEW: Preliminary support of HD television channels that use H.265/HEVC video encoding.
5. Changed: Further work on SoX resampling to improve reliablity and delay handling.
6. Fixed: Link fields wouldn't work outside audio views.

those new features rocks!
i love to see impovments!
i hope for the rest bugs to fixed soon tho!

[Ninouchka]

Superb! I am waiting for a long time for 1 and 2, you guys are angels!

Thanks a lot.

[MusicHawk]

Still can't tag a list-type field if it is long-ish, because the list extends behind and below the Windows taskbar. This obscures some/many of the items already in the list, and it completely hides the Add field.

The workaround is the expand the Action Tag dialog to full-height, but that's not desirable because it hides the navigation tree.

The necessary fix is to have the Tag dialog bottom always be above the taskbar area. Perhaps better would be to automatically expand the tag dialog to show more of the current field's list when appropriate, but then revert the dialog when editing a field that doesn't need a long list. Perhaps the ideal enhancement would be a dockable floating tag dialog, size-adjustable (remembering the size).

And how about restoring the feature of MC14 and prior of showing at the top of the selection list the field's data (semicolon-separated values)? This allowed viewing and direct editing -- sometimes much easier and faster than scrolling the list, or trying to view the field when it has more field values than fit the screen, etc. Also, directly viewing the field's content is quite useful to see errors, correct typos, or even add new values by editing old values.

For instance, I tag my photos with locations and main highways, and I travel a lot, so there are lots and lots of locations. Frequently I must add a location. In MC15 I can easily select a similar location/highway, it appears in the direct-edit field, I change it as necessary (change !Roads\US-60 to !Roads\US-80, for instance), hit Enter, and the new value is stored in the field AND therefore appears in the list next time, while the original value remains as-is. I know, this can be done in the Search mode too, less elegantly, but the welcome new MC22 hybrid of checkbox+search seems to be steps forward and back vs. earlier MC, at least for me.

Thanks for the OSD stuff. Hopefully more to come there: cover art, custom pages, icons for stream types for example

[bluenose1]

I just use JRiver for audio. I don't use volume leveling in my DLNA setup. When I loaded Rel. 18, I noticed volume levels went down. So I checked settings and for some reason, volume leveling had been switched on in the DSP studio under the DLNA server configuration! If I try and turn it off, it automatically comes on again whenever I play a track. Release 15 didn't do that. I see that in Rel 18 you made some changes in the DSP studio. Is that a bug?

[masterjoe]

5. NEW: The DLNA server Audio Advanced DSP studio is active for all functions including sample rate changes.

How does it work? I activated the section, added multiple effects, took my mobile and played an audio track with Bubble UPnP player and nothing changed. The track plays just as without any effects though the difference should have been very noticable. And yes, I have enabled audio conversion via DLNA and changed the DSP THERE. Not working here.

Another question: Will DLNA video audio also be processed through this DSP section (finally)? If not, please add another section to the video part of a DLNA server or use the audio section's DSP when video audio is transcoded please. It would be very helpful to have audio processed for videos, too.

Thanks.

[lovelong]

I use mc22, korean version windows 8.1,
web browser  interferes with jriver. when i print in a program, which tells error message
please check.

And I want to add some function, when playing the musics, Repeat function need, and play list and add other music. when playing is finished. the added musics list is not saved if don't want.
How can test 22.018 Version? i have to buy it or use reinstall it, that use license number, about 10 limits, consume.

thanks for reading

[PAPETOURNE]

Just installed MC22 but still MC21 is also installed.
I have several questions :
What are the main difference between 21 and 22 ?
since 22 is installed do I have to remove MC 21 ?
Do we have to pay again MC22 since MC21 licence is still valid ?
Thanks for help

[JimH]

It's $26.98 if you want to upgrade, but you could also just continue to use MC21.

Volume levelling is automatically checked in dsp studio in dlna server in 22.0.18. Even after I uncheck it, volume levelling is re-enabled as soon as I play a track. I've tried restarting jrmc and rebooting pc yet volume levelling re-enables when I play any track via dlna. Note, this only occurs when using dlna. I'm assuming this is a bug.

This is the same issue I raised above. So that's two of us with the problem. I'm assuming it's being looked into.

Changing the EQ and pushing a track to a renderer is a easy way to test it.
Since the settings are server based I don't see why bubble wouldn't work. Is the track cached perhaps?
Do you have more than one DLNA server configured in MC?

That would seem to be a useful addition...

SACD ISO playback is broken.

Thanks, for answering, Bob. Well the "How does it work" was more of a rhethorical question because I absolutely know how it should work.
I only had one single DLNA server running for this test and I changed several things for the DLNA DSP section, including EQ - but none of the changes were reflected in the rendered audio on my mobile phone where I was using Bubble UPnP to play an audio file from this server. The audio file always sounded as if there were no effects at all.

So something is wrong here...

And please also include the DSP section for transcoded video audio because for movies the automatic level adjustment (or a VST compressor etc) would be very helpful!

[AndrewFG]

What format are you converting to? L16/24, WAV, or MP3?
And are you pulling or pushing?

[bob]

SACD ISO playback is broken.

Works for me. What error are you seeing?

[HiFiTubes]

Works for me. What error are you seeing?

I reported this in a build of JRMC21 a month ago or so, and someone chimed in with the same problem.

[bob]

Can you temporarily copy it to a simple path without the # in it?
I'm wondering if there is a change made in that area affecting it.

[masterjoe]

And are you pulling or pushing?

Err, pushing? I don't really know but I thought that every DLNA client PULLS data from the server, no? I am using Bubble UPnP and have not set up anything regarding push / pull there.

The format is MP3.
But that should not make any difference because the effects of the DSP section come before the encoding!?

Pushing would refer to using MC to send the track with MC's DLNA controller function. That's what you'd do if you were at the console or using a remote control like JRemote or Gizmo.
Pulling would get getting the track by using the device itself, i.e. with a remote, like a PS3 or TV with remote.

If you are connecting using BubbleUPnP as a controller (on another device, phone, tablet, etc) to a MC server and to your output device as a renderer you are still pushing, just with a different controller.
If that's the case, the controller shouldn't make any difference. Only the settings in the DLNA server you connect to with BubbleUPnP determines the output format.

I tried it but no go. I have the same SACD ISO working in Foobar.

Well, there is always some sort of pushing (aka sending data) involved in any network communication because there is an initial request etc. But as far as the actual audio file is concerned I would say it is always accessed via pull mechanism from the server as the server needs to transcode it (as I configured it this way!).

So still: Why does the DLNA audio DSP section have no effect at all when I play a file from the DLNA server. Not solved yet.

Possible bug : Editing list-type fields

I think this issue appeared with MC22.

When editing a list-type field, I don't see any text zone where I could type a value and receive suggestions from MC.

This was working perfectly with MC21.

I'm using MC22.0.18.

Thanks !

[AndrewFG]

^

Yes. I think the text input box is falling below the bottom extent of the screen.

[blgentry]

^ Just make the tagging window full height instead of half height and it will work as normal. (little dot at the upper right corner controls full height versus half height).

I have encoutered unread track with latest version.
BD drive firmware is latest.
Pls cjeck log. thanx.

Attention JRiver people. Could you mark this as a bug to be fixed? The problem is that when the tagging window is smaller than full height, any resulting check box tag editing list will display with its text entry field below the bottom of the main screen extents. In fact, if you have Windows taskbar set to auto-hide, you can see the text entry field underneath the place where the Windows task bar shows. (PS this may be specific to Windows 10, I don't know).

Sent from my phone, autocorrect may have "helped" me

[bob]

I tried it but no go. I have the same SACD ISO working in Foobar.

None of your SACD ISO's work?
What version of windows?
What are your Audio Device and DSP studio settings?

Do other DSD files work?

[MusicHawk]

It's been quite a while since the arrival of the bug of half-height (default) tag lists extending below/behind Windows taskbar. The new+improved ability to use check boxes moves this bug from annoying to must-fix, because even some of the check boxes are below/behind, breaking the whole improvement. Please.

Expanding the Tag box is a workaround, but since it covers up the navigation tree, it just increases the need for clicks and trades one problem for another. MC should simply live within its normal Windows viewport.

[bob]

I tried it but no go. I have the same SACD ISO working in Foobar.

I looked at your 21.0.86 post.
The error is that you are trying to play a multichannel track on a 2 channel device.
DSD is presented to the device as-is so those devices which are both 2 channel DSD DACS can't play multichannel DSD.
In 21.0.85 you must have been seeing DSP studio convert to 2 channel PCM.

I tried to configure foobar to play dop dsd to a mytek stereo dsd-192 without success...
edit: with more configuration I got it working in foobar. Foobar claims to be sending 5 channel but that seems unlikely to a 2 channel device. I'd guess that it's selecting the stereo track from the SACD. At any rate, it certainly doesn't appear to have changed in MC between 21.0.85 and 21.0.86.
