22.0.54 (12/27/2016)

1. Changed: Added more support for PonoPlayer devices.  Includes account setup in Tools / Options / Services.  Also the 'Pono authenticated' column can be added to any view by adding column 'Pono', which shows a blue icon for tracks purchased from the PonoMusic Store.
2. Changed: The PonoMusic Store is now listed in the tree under 'Services & Plug-ins'.  The Pono store website is still 'under construction' however as they are in the process of switching to a new music fulfillment back-end.

22.0.52 (12/19/2016)

1. Fixed: Picking a search suggestion that had an accent in it wasn't working properly.

22.0.51 (12/19/2016)

1. Fixed: Accents wouldn't work properly in panes that were based on an expression.

22.0.50 (12/19/2016)

1. Fixed: Right-clicking the toolbar repeatedly would show a stacked menu instead of only one menu.
2. Fixed: Clicking the link arrow on a field that had accents didn't work properly.
3. Fixed: Commercial marks on position OSD were not positioned correctly.
4. Fixed: ComSkip would skip forward too far if there is a non-zero start position set in Playback Range.
5. Changed: Added an additional thumbnail folder used by some Android phones to filter from the import list at camera acquire time.
6. Fixed: Accents still didn't always work right in certain panes.

22.0.49 (12/15/2016)

1. Changed: Updated Korean translation (thanks Junghwan!).
2. Fixed: When playing a television channel live on a client, MC did not always honor preferred tuner set for the channel.
3. NEW: Multiple tuners can be selected as "Preferred tuners" for television channels.
4. Fixed: Picking values in a pane that had accents in it wasn't working properly.
5. Fixed: A race condition during DirectShow graph startup, in TV channel scanning.

22.0.48 (12/12/2016)

1. Fixed: Lighting control in Theater View and Scheduler was not working with the latest version of Engen due to an API change. Must have Engen version 1.0.38 or higher.
2. Fixed: The "All lights on/off" commands could fail to switch all connected lights if there was one non-responding device in the list provided by Engen.

22.0.47 (12/8/2016)

1. NEW: Added a new tool "Cleanup time-shifting folders" to delete orphaned or incomplete time-shifting component files in time-shifting subfolders of the television recording folder.
2. Changed: Changed some code in ATSC channel scanning to avoid certain inexplicable hangs.

22.0.46 (12/7/2016)

3. Changed: Television tuner device list will be loaded (if not already loaded) when one clicks "Show status" in the filter box in Standard view, or in Options > Television > Advanced.  Now the tuner list will be shown even if no tuner has been in use since MC startup.
4. Fixed: "Rename, Move, & Copy files..." did not replace invalid characters in filenames in 22.0.45.
5. Changed: A little better handling of failures of commands over network to CableCARD devices.
6. NEW: The read-only login for Library Server is now configurable in Options.
7. NEW: Added an options dialog to the start of the Listening Test to pick the formats to convert to.

22.0.45 (12/1/2016)

1. Fixed: When a YouTube video finished playing, it could show two popups for subsequent videos.
2. Fixed: Post-recording auto tagging of TV recordings in jtv format with [Filename(path)] field did not work reliably.
3. Changed: [Filename] field can be used in post-recording television recording auto tagging, in place of [Filename(name)] and [Filename(path)].  It is handled as if [Filename(name)] and [Filename(path)] are separately specified.
4. Fixed: The "Update database to point to new location (no file rename, move, or copy)" mode in "Rename, Move, & Copy files..." tool did not work for jtv files.
5. Fixed: A few minor logging issues in television engine.

22.0.44 (11/28/2016)

1. Fixed: Using SoX resampling could overflow the player core in 22.0.43.

22.0.43 (11/22/2016)

1. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Fixed: Improved the accuracy of resampling delay handling when using SoX for a more constant delay on certain resampling ratios.
3. Changed: MC television recording will properly handle post-recording tagging (setup in recording rules) of field [Filename(path)], in addition to [Filename(name)] that has already been supported.
4. Fixed: Removed a possible cause of crash in OTA EPG scanning.
5. NEW: A new television option "Logging verbosity" that controls how much television-related logging is done (in Help > Logging).  The option is under TV Options > Advanced.
6. Changed: Made tooltips turning off a little more reliable with the Listening Test.
7. Fixed: Importing long filenames (with the long filename option checked) didn't work reliably.

22.0.42 (11/17/2016)

1. Fixed: The listening test wouldn't accept low or medium bitrate MP3 files.
2. Fixed: Doing a listening test with a really high sample rate file could lead to a crash.
3. Changed: Added the original as one of the formats for the listening tests.
4. Fixed: On the Save View dialog, typing a name with a backslash in it or other illegal filename character wasn't handled nicely.

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.

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.

I think I downloaded 22.0.54 the correct way. I can see Pono Music Store on the left hand column. I can't see any Blue lights on my Pono purchased files?? I am trying to transfer music I bought from iTunes in my Pono library but it will not work. Before I would go to Tools>Import and it would work fine. The new version of Pono I bought will not get my new iTunes files. Help Please.

The various (small) accent-related issues which started with 22.0.46 are mostly solved (BTW, the original change was very welcome - but there are obviously quite a few sneaky side effects). Here is one which is still outstanding.

In a pane view, make a category column based on an expression. The expression (to group by) itself is just a field name. The expression to display can be anything. Then, if you select an entry in that category which has accents in it, the track list will be empty. Entries without an accent work just fine.
In my case:
    [Composer]
    [Composer, 1] If(IsEqual(GroupCount(Album),1),, /(GroupCount(Album)/))

I initially thought GroupCount was the issue, but it's not. If I use just [Composer, 1] for the display expression, the problem stays.
Things work perfectly fine with categories which are simple library fields.

I can send you a copy of the library if you need it (almost 4 MB library backup).

Happy New Year to all

There are instructions here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,108681.msg752619.html#msg752619

If you have Pono questions, please post on the Pono board.  This thread is for bug reports on the latest build.

Ironically Matt fixed this in 22.0.51, but it got broken in 22.0.53 again before the public release. I have faith he will fix it again.

22.0.55 fixes my accent problem case, so all is now good
