22.0.21 (8/24/2016)

4. NEW: When files have sidecar images, PDF files, or documents, they'll be shown in a "View Extras" submenu to open each individual file.

22.0.20 (8/18/2016)

1. Changed: DLNA. Relax test for DLNA rendering zone device alive status (helps buggy renderers, symptom was a stationary progress bar).
2. Fixed: DLNA. Volume leveling was coming on by default if the material to be played was being converted.

22.0.19 (8/18/2016)

1. Fixed: The OSD instruction at the start of the first video was not displayed using the same user configured color as the other OSD text.
2. NEW: Added a "Reset OSD text color to skin setting" option in "Tree & View" > "Advanced", where the customer OSD text color option was added in build 18.
3. Fixed: When a file had no rating, it wouldn't update from tags properly (it would just keep the rating).
4. Changed: Made the Resize Images dialog have an option "Original" to keep the size the same (but convert the format).
5. Changed: Renamed the image tool to "Convert or Resize".
6. Changed: Made the Find & Replace tool work on the display of a field instead of the data so it works a lot better on dates.
7. Changed: Made the minimum width for showing links next to tabs a lot smaller (so it'll show at least the drop arrow).
8. Changed: Made another attempt at fixing the H.265/HEVC HD TV issue.

10. Changed: The string "EULA" can be translated now.

13. NEW: Added three new skins: Modern Cards: Dark, Modern Cards: Grey, and Modern Cards: White.

5. NEW: The DLNA server Audio Advanced DSP studio is active for all functions including sample rate changes.
6. Changed: The field names in the Manage Library Fields dialog are translated.
7. Fixed: Tooltips would pop up one on top of another in the Television view (the fix is wider and should avoid any doubling up of tooltips).

1. Fixed: The machine could still sleep when ripping a DVD.

LOVE the new skins. Thanks.

4. NEW: When files have sidecar images, PDF files, or documents, they'll be shown in a "View Extras" submenu to open each individual file.

this is so fantastic.  working great with the little i have to test with at work.

thanks team!

[Gatherum]

Nice skins! Definitely go very well with the whole Metro feel.
Only suggestion I'd make in regards to them is to make the Grey Edition a slightly darker shade; as-is, it doesn't really look different enough from the White Edition. But that's a minor quip. Thank you!

Should we expect versions for Theatre View as well at a later date?

[DocLotus]

Use the Skin Effects, Change Color. You will have to play around with it but I was able to make the white skin black & make the black one white (or anywhere in between).

I was also able to make the Playing Now selection stand out from the not playing selections by carefully adjusting the colors (Playing Now bright white & all others grey). This also shows up in the TV Standard view whish is great.

The Change color option in simply wonderful.

4. NEW: When files have sidecar images, PDF files, or documents, they'll be shown in a "View Extras" submenu to open each individual file.

Most of my extras are in a separate subfolder called "extras" or "scans". The content of those subfolders is accessed on JRemote, but not on Media Player using this feature. As this practice keeps my folders tidy, I wonder if this new feature could be extended to subfolders as well.

Thanks

Using the same rules as JRemote seems sensible. I think it just uses a command in MCWS to gather a list of said files, so the logic should be in MC somewhere.

Please use another thread for skin discussion.

[hacky4real]

Thanks for such a powerful software. A few suggestings:
1) is there any plans to integrate Internet radio such as tunein, or sound cloud?
2) could you include photos of actors in movie details in theatre view?
3) what's the shortcut key to record TV program.

Cheers

The grey edition matches the default Mac-esk type of theme, so it likely won't be changed.

At least from me, doubtful as I don't use Theatre View. Anyone else is welcome to do so though.

The startup option Mode: Last Exit View seems to be broken in this version. MC opens in theater view every time, regardless of the mode it was in when closed. I even tried closing explicitly with File->Exit.

UPDATE: What's going on is the program always opens in the mode it was in the last time the PC was shut down. So, if I shut down the PC from theater view, then every time I open MC it opens in theater view, regardless of what mode it was in when I last closed it (MC.) What's weird is that I tested on another PC and on that PC it works perfectly. I even tried a complete uninstall/reinstall and still not working as expected on the one computer.

UPDATE #2: This should interest someone. I fixed it by changing Windows Startup option from "Media Center and Media Server" to "Nothing" and restarting the computer. It worked correctly. Then I tried setting the same setting to "Media Center" and restarting the computer, and that worked correctly as well. Finally I double checked by setting it back to "Media Center and Media Server" and restarting and the bug returned. I have media network enabled, with a username/password required, and none of the check boxes under "Advanced" are checked (no DLNA server, renderer or controller.)

Playlist export for Relative Paths results in Absolute paths.

Please fix this problem as it was reported before.

Trying to find the thread to post Too Easy Changes for MC: please allow option for forward slash to be generated as many DAPs use that instead of \

I just tested and it works great.  Save the playlist to the same folder as the files are in and the relative paths work perfectly.

Thanks Matt. I posted screenshots when I had mc21 and having the same issue now with 22. I can provide more.

 maybe i am doing something wrong?

Playlists exported are all identical regardless of setting relative vs. absolute.

Maybe start a thread and provide some screenshots and details about what type you're exporting as.

Thanks.

Hi,

CD extraction in WMA lossless deosn't work anymore since I have installed 22.

[RD James]

Auto-import doesn't seem to be analyzing videos in this build.
Edit: Not sure what the cause was, but after manually analyzing everything, new files do seem to be getting analyzed automatically again.
 
I guess the analyzer was getting stuck on a file, but it's strange that it everything ran through the analyzer without any problems when I ran it manually.

There appears to be a glitch in 22.0.21 for Windows regarding people tagging of photos.  When I wish to tag a photo with a person's name and click on "people", the list of known persons pops up but there is no place to add a new name - there are only existing names (with check boxes beside them).  This is not the case in Media Center 17 and 21, where there is a box to "add".   Please advise.

Play Doctor just loads 1 song.

[Matt]

Play Doctor just loads 1 song.

Here it loads 100 songs just like always.

How are you starting Play Doctor?

Thanks.

[Dawgincontrol]

When playing a list of songs in standard view, the last played song hangs at the end and does not update the last played category. 

Hitting the stop button seems to jog it out of it's freeze, but did not do this before to my recollection.

[MusicMon]

Is MC 22 feature complete with the latest release?
