22.0.41 (11/14/2016)

1. Changed: Tooltips are turned off during a listening test (and turned back on afterward).

22.0.40 (11/14/2016)

1. Changed: Color coding of Theater View television guide grid is now optional.
2. Changed: The vertical line to indicate current time in Theater View television guide is now optional.
3. Fixed: DSP Studio wouldn't load the ideal page size of the first page it showed.
4. Fixed: OTA/In-stream EPG scanning finish event was not logged in TV Logs.
5. NEW: Multiple types of OTA/In-stream EPG scanning (such as DVB-T and DVB-C) can be scheduled for background scanning and they will be scanned sequentially.
6. Changed: Manually changing images during playback stops the image slideshow.
7. Changed: Auto-import is stopped during a Listening Test and then restarted after.
8. Changed: Tweaked ATSC over-the-air EPG scanning.  It is now more efficient and more thorough.

22.0.39 (11/8/2016)

1. Changed: When looking for a suitable TV tuner to record a program, MC will no longer create and desctroy the TV engine each time a tuner is examined.
2. Changed: Eliminated unnecessary logging in a block of frequently called TV code.
3. Changed: Tweaked some parameters in DVB EPG scanning, to try to make it more efficient.
4. Changed: Reduced the amount of logging in MPEG-2 packet parsing, and in EPG scanning in particular.
5. NEW: Duplicate TV recordings scheduled will be removed at recording start time if different recording rules produce duplicate recordings of the same program on the same channel.
6. Changed: On TV recording rules view in Standard View, time-based recording duration value will take into account of recording start and end time padding, to be consistent with other recording modes.
7. Fixed: Picking WPL as the playlist formats on a handheld would use ASX instead.
8. NEW: Video Thumbnails are rotated to match the video's rotation.

22.0.38 (11/2/2016)

1. Fixed: Simultaneously starting to record with the same file names by two TV tuners did not work.
2. Changed: Added a search to Panel for searching through a library.
3. Changed: In settings.html in Panel, the launch button for Network was removed and the entire box was turned into a link.
4. Changed: "MPAA Rating" and "MPAA Rating Description" fields are usable in media type "TV" (mainly for TV guide).
5. NEW: ATSC OTA EPG scanning will pick up the parental rating info if TV stations broadcast it.
6. Changed: DVB in-stream EPG scanning will ignore the "has scheduled" flag and attempt to scan for scheduled programs anyway.  Some TV stations do not broadcast this flag correctly.

22.0.37 (10/27/2016)

1. Changed: Added more error checking in tuning to CableCARD TV tuners.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. Changed: Added a Block parameter to the Previous call like there's already a Block parameter for the MCWS/v1/Playback/Next command.
4. Changed: Marked "Linkwitz-Riley Filter" for translation.
5. NEW: Added Tools > Listening Test ... to try your listening skills.
6. Changed: Adjusted some logging entries in TV engine to help diagnosing hangs in TV recording in transport stream format,in particular with CableCARD devices.

22.0.36 (10/21/2016)

1. Changed: The Virtual Channel Table in ATSC TV is obtained with the new MPEG-2 Tables and Sections system.
2. Fixed: A few bug fixes in EPG scanning, especially those that might lead to crashes in ATSC scanning.
3. Changed: The WDM driver is versioned so that it's only reinstalled when something meaningful changes (instead of always).
4. Fixed: The list printing dialog was much too small on high DPI.
5. Changed: Migrated the retrieval of the Master Guide Table in ATSC TV to the new MPEG-2 Tables and Sections system.
6. Fixed: An incorrect variable type was used in TS type TV recording codes.  This might fix some bad behaviors.
7. Changed: Added more error checking in ATSC EPG OTA scanning.

22.0.35 (10/18/2016)

1. Changed: Updated DVB EPG content types to include the latest type 12.
2. Changed: Changed the way to determine how much time to spend on parsing EPG data per channel.  Hopefully this will speed up the process without causing missed entries.
3. Changed: Switched ETT section parsing in ATSC in-stream EPG scanning to the new system of MPEG-2 tables and sections.
4. Changed: Reverted unintended behavior changes of MCC 22001 in recent builds.
5. Fixed: Pressing escape after editing a field in-place accepted the changes instead of discard the changes.
6. Fixed: Theater View plugins could get out of order when the Lighting plugin was added.  Selecting "News" might show "Lighting" results, etc.

22.0.34 (10/13/2016)

1. Fixed: DVB EPG scanning did not handle text encoded with specific code pages.
2. Changed: Playing a single image won't start a slideshow (right-click > Play).
3. Fixed: Doing File > Print Images... when opening an image from an email didn't work properly.
4. Fixed: MCC 22001 could cause a crash.

22.0.33 (10/11/2016)

1. If the duration IS obtainable from the playback engine, use it. Fix to Fix #8 in 22.0.32
2. NEW: Implemented a new system of getting MPEG-2 tables and sections.  We are in the process of migrating to this new system gradually.  For now, part of ATSC EPG scanning uses the new system.  The result is good.  ATSC EPG scanning is much faster and more reliable (the EPG data is almost complete for at least 12 hours per scan, most are 24 hours or more).
3. Fixed: Playing images then video then images would start the images paused for the second time.
4. Fixed: DVB EPG in-stream scanning did not work.  Now it works using the new method of getting MPEG-2 tables and sections.
5. Changed: Red October HQ updated to madVR 0.90.24.

22.0.32 (9/30/2016)

1. Changed: When playing a jtv video (either recorded TV show, or live TV on a client), the television "Crop Edges" setting is applied, instead of always turning it on.

3. Changed: Added 4x to the encoding options for DSD.
4. Fixed: Dragging thumbnails to the left wasn't working.
5. Changed: Internal changes in television recording in transport stream format.  Users should not notice anything different.  Please report any unexpected behaviors.
6. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
7. Fixed: Switching between audio files with different channel configuration could result in channels being dropped under special circumstances.
8. Fixed: Fix a bug in MCWS track duration reporting caused by the change (21.0.31) which skips over the reading of a mp3 header if the file being played is over the network (but not a stream).

22.0.31 (9/25/2016)

1. Fixed: The DVB OTA EPG scanning change made in build 30 had an infinite loop that caused scanning to never finish.
2. Fixed: Scheduler 'Engen Command' wasn't handling the TurnOff command reliably.
3. Changed: In Engen Command scheduler dialog, brightness and color controls are now hidden when 'Turn Off' command is chosen.
4. Changed: Last selected scheduler task is remembered and is used on the next "Add Task" selection.
5. Changed: Added "All Lights" control to Engen Command scheduler.

2. Changed: DVB OTA EPG scanning will obtain service description for each channel first in order discover whether a channel has scheduled EIT info carried in the stream.
3. NEW: Added "Engen Command" task to scheduler.  Allows scheduling scene and lighting events if an Engen server is available.

22.0.29 (9/21/2016)

1. Fixed: Found and fixed a couple of bugs in DVB OTA EPG scanning, in particular, in parsing the "extended event descriptor".

1. NEW: Added the option "View Cover Art" to the View Extras menu.
2. Fixed: A rounding error in date formatting could result in the wrong days being shown for dates without a time.
3. Changed: Improved MCWS CORS compliance including Pre-Flight checks and proper credential support.
4. Fixed: MC would crash on scanning for EPG over-the-air on DVB tuners.
5. Fixed: OTA EPG Scanning for DVB tuners would be stuck in an infinte loop.
6. Changed: Added more logging for OTA EPG scanning for DVB tuners.
7. Changed: Some improvements to the lights Theater View plugin (only loads if you've configured a URL, only loads when it actually draws, etc.).

22.0.26 (9/16/2016)

1. Changed: The tooltips on the taskbar playback buttons are translated.
2. Fixed: The field names in Smartlists get translated better.

5. Fixed: When Kernel Streaming, shutting down the device would hang if it had gone away.
6. Fixed: On Schedule Guide Reloading dialog window, clicking the Add button to add an Over-the-air loading method did not work for DVB tuners (the added method was set to ATSC).
7. NEW: "Year" field can now be used in setting up television recording rules.
8. Fixed: DVB EPG scan did not do anything because we forgot to remove the condition that it must be ATSC to proceed.
9. Changed: Television recording actions are checked for 60 days beyond current date, instead of 14 days, so that more "To be recorded" shows will be displayed.
10. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
11. NEW: Added a Theater View Lights plugin you can add manually to allow configuration of an Engen server.

I was a little afraid to update with all the TV changes but so far so good!  All recordings scheduled recorded just fine last night with no hiccups.
Channel surfing behavior when going to a different tuner card brings a black screen for about half a second but not sure if it's any slower than before...Maybe just different I'm not sure.

Good work indeed Yaobing!

MCWS track duration behavior has changed, still having some odd behaviors, when changing tracks that results in a playlist change it goes to "live" (stream) like shown in the attached screen. A pause/play action seems to be able to kick it out of live/stream behavior and force duration for the current playlist - would require more testing to see if it's consistent or if it will lose duration again after.  It also seems if you let it play for an extended period of time it might finally resolve duration as well.

On Gizmo the behavior/bug doesn't show up as well which is why I'm using EOS.  When it experiences it the artwork won't render as well, duration from a previous track will be shown, and the seekbar will move for a bit, go back to beginning, and repeat.

Hope that helps - this bug seems like it just doesn't want to fully die  :-\

I'm guessing the update feature in Media Center 22 doesn't work?  I'm talking about Help => Update Channels => Check for Updates...  Thus the reason for manual update installs?

I ask because running Media Center version 22.0.32 and clicking Check for updates consistently tells me "Media Center is up to date (22.0.32)".  Can we get this fixed instead of manually downloading updates. I can see if this was an "upgrade", but "updates" should be automatically downloaded and installed when hitting the check for update button.

My two cents.

You're on the stable channel - change it to the latest channel and check for updates. That's what Jim was trying to point out here. The default channel is the stable channel as it's, well, intended for stability - using latest builds *may* not be as stable.

Maybe make default for Red October >>> MADVR >>>enable Direct3d 11 so new users can use Red October HQ:

I see a lot of you having problems with madVR and the latest drivers. I think I've found a solution:

Enable DX11 in madVR settings to prevent freezes when moving the window onto another monitor or (since 16.9.1) prevent freezes when switching to fullscreen mode.

This is getting to be a VERY interesting thread.

I have an all AMD system.

When talking about video / TV hang-ups, could this also be the reason I get constant (and repeatable screen lock ups) when using the left /or right arrow key to skip ahead or back on my TV?

I have to use Windows 10 Task Manager to close MC then re-open MC to get back to my TV.

This happens most of the time when I'm using the left or right arrow repeatable to skip commercials which vary in length.

It happens much less often if I wait for MC to clear the skip ahead message at the bottom of the screen.

THIS IS DRIVING ME TOTALLY NUTS as it makes MC TV useless for TV viewing.

Seem that this all started for me around the time MS installed the Anniversary update on my Win 10 system.

Any ideas would be much appreciated as MC TV is the ONLY TV I have in the house.

MC is not importing this file correctly; it comes as unassigned series and has no season or episode information...

Mars (2016) - s01e05 - Darkest Days.mkv

That is file name stored on the server (in the Mars series folder, next to all the other episodes)
