22.0.108 (5/18/2017)

1. Fixed: Keyboard searches/navigation within report controls did not support space characters because of a conflict with the space-bar accelerator key Play/Pause functionality.  Now a space is supported as long as it's not the first character in the search string.

22.0.106 (5/11/2017)

1. Fixed: The Display View OSD would not render properly on Retina screens.
2. Changed: Revisited Theater View OpenGL rendering to potentially use less CPU resources.
3. Fixed: Stopping an audio track from Theater View could result in a white screen.

22.0.93 (3/28/2017)

1. Changed: MC now supports KDC format raw image files from certain Kodak camera models.
2. Fixed: In Gizmo and JRemote the playback duration would be wrong and the playback bar would be inaccurate.

22.0.88 (3/24/2017)

1. Fixed: Some "caf" format files were not importing or playing.
2. Fixed: When "Run on Mac startup" was set to Media Server, the full UI was still showing up along with the toolbar icon.  Now it just shows the toolbar icon.
3. Changed: Some DLNA tweaks. Fixed a duplicated zone problem.
4. Changed: Added the right-click option to hide the zone you right-clicked on at the top of the show / hide zone menu.
5. Fixed: Customizing the File Info panel in Theater View was broken.
6. Changed: Updates to Z, ModernCards Grey, Green Eyes, and Aruba (thanks Awesome Donkey!).
7. NEW: The hierarchical subjects from Light Room are available in an image using Tag(XMP: HierarchicalSubject).
8. Changed: Updates to Pearl Bailey, PixOS, Noire, and Noire Glass (thanks Awesome Donkey!).
9. Fixed: Audio Analysis would hang on files with an invalid playback range.
10. NEW: Added Options > Images > Stop slideshow on manual changes to optionally keep a slideshow running during manual changes (defaults to on).
11. Changed: A bunch of fixes and changes for the "new" tag window.  See Windows build comments for details (builds 76-88).
12. NEW: Added rating to the OSD.
13. Changed: Made pressing the play button on a remote resume a paused image slideshow from switching tracks manually, zooming, etc.
14. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.25.
15. Fixed: In rare cases during large media imports, there could be a fatal error where a large number of dead-locked background threads get created that would prevent further thread creation.
16. NEW: Added a Mid-side decoder to Parametric Equalizer.
17. Fixed: With large databases, a background audio analysis could appear to freeze Media Center.
18. Changed: Made the resolution of the room correction speaker distances smaller (0.1 ft or 0.01 meters).
19. Changed: Made the up and down arrows reverse so that up increases volume or any other slider and down decreases.
20. Changed: Made calling /RestoreLibrary, /RestoreLibraryAndSettings, etc. not show a success message box.
21. Changed: When video playing is in frame-stepping mode, LEFT arrow causes video to jump back 1 second, regardless what value it is set in video settings.
22. NEW: CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW (left or right) in video playing jumps to the next/previous key frame.  Works only with certain types of video (such as AVi, mp4, mkv).
23. Changed: Made importing an animated GIF file automatically play in the video engine.
24. NEW: Added the expression function UnMoveArticles(...) to move the articles back to the beginning of a string from the end.
24. Changed: When cancelling the Customize View dialog, if no changes have been made, it will be instant (instead of reapplying the same settings).
25. Changed: Made the fill track numbers system show a dialog to ask for the start and increment.
26. NEW: Added the expression function MoveArticles(...) to take a string and move the leading article to the end.
27. Fixed: Caf audio files containing non-PCM audio would fail to play if playback type was set to Automatic.
28. Fixed: OpenSubtitles feature would not set the current subtitle for a video to the one selected if it was a "MicroDVD" format.
29. Changed: Expanded OpenSubtitles feature to support TV episodes with the season/episode format (e.g. "Series Name S01E04").
30. Changed: OpenSubtitles feature now downloads multiple subtitle file sets for multi-disc movies.  Downloaded files have the CD number at the end of the filename, e.g. "_CD1", "_CD2", etc.
31. NEW: Frame-by-frame forward stepping in video and television playback. SHIFT+Right Arrow.
32. Changed: Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
33. Changed: Increased the maximum subtitle shift allowed in the right-click menu to 5 seconds from 1 second (remember that the OSD choice to adjust the shift allows infinite adjustments).
34. NEW: Added support for PSD files that are RGB with 4 channels for the color.
35. Changed: Made zooming in or out of an image stop the slideshow.
36. Fixed: Facebook upload photos wasn't working because older API wasn't supported anymore.  MC now supports API v2.8.

2. Fixed: The "Add Zone" feature using the "Copy" option wasn't copying zone settings on Mac & Linux.
3. Fixed: Pressing the OK button to accept something didn't always work when running translated (made DSP presets unsaveable, etc.).
4. Fixed: Status bar in image editor wasn't working.
5. Fixed: Copy/paste wasn't working in image editor.
6. Fixed: After an external dsp plugin was "uninstalled" from dsp studio, it would return at the next restart of Media Center.

22.0.73 (2/13/2017)

1. NEW: Image editor implemented.
2. Fixed: Removed WDM driver feature enable.

22.0.71 (2/7/2017)

1. Fixed: Spelling of the standard genre #68 was wrong.  It was 'Psychadelic' and now it's 'Psychedelic'.  This affects import and tag updating of mp3 and m4a files.
2. NEW: DSD files stored in WavPack files now import and play, converted to PCM.  Before, they would fail to import or play.

22.0.64 (1/17/2017)

1. Fixed: Duration wouldn't show up on videos when Mac MC was connected to a MC server as a client and video conversion was enabled.
2. Fixed: A crash could occur at the end of playing some videos.

22.0.63 (1/13/2017)

1. Fixed: DLNA device renderer returned 0 for current file duration in both the getPosition and getMediaInfo calls.
2. Fixed: MCWS returned 0 for position much longer than desirable causing the playback bar on JRemote and Gizmo to bounce back and forth until a valid position was received.
3. Changed: DLNA: Small change to determination of stale values in playback position.

22.0.54 (12/27/2016)

4. NEW: Added an options dialog to the start of the Listening Test to pick the formats to convert to.
5. Fixed: Macs with a Touch Bar would cause Media Center to crash.
6. Changed: The Mac build of Media Center is now 64-bit only. Media Center no longer supports OS X 10.6.
7. Changed: Improved Theater View performance substantially on some systems.
8. Changed: Smoothed out a lot of the animations used in Theater View 3D views.
9. 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.
10. 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.

22.0.43 (11/29/2016)

1. Fixed: Improved the accuracy of resampling delay handling when using SoX for a more constant delay on certain resampling ratios.

Have you tried the menu option: View / Add View / Reset All Library Views To Default  ?

I wasn't able to reproduce the problem, but it seems like something is amiss in your view setup. 

As for the "3D Album" view error, that's a Windows only view.  It's a bug that it's showing that as an option on Mac.

[Couch]

Thanks JohnT,

I agree there is something amiss with views.
I did Reset all Library Views to default.
And I had reinstalled MC prior to the update posted today. I had hoped the update would flush it out.
Since it did not I'm thinking I may need to purge the settings saved elsewhere?

Regarding the screenshots (last 2) - I thought it was weird the context menu was different for Izzy (here) and Seuss (there).
And that Image Playback Settings option does nothing - no pop-up - nothing.

I have now a brand new MacBook Pro late 2016 13" with 8GB RAM and I5 proc.
If I play an SACD iso with MC22 it makes 55-58% load to the processor, checked by Activity Monitor. In case of a normal 16/44 Flac it is 22-27%.
I think it is irrealitic high. I think it must be maxiumum 20% in any case.

If you just installed, MC may be doing other background tasks, like looking for cover art or analyzing files.

[Zsolt Andrasy]

Something I don't understand. My MC22 installation is old, I just replaced to the latest version 3 days ago. Using the Activity Monitor I can see 17% CPU use of MC22 - without playing any file! See attached screenshot.

[blgentry]

^ It would be better for you to start new topics about the problems you are reporting.

I've experienced MC using CPU when music or video files are PAUSED. Pressing stop makes all the CPU time go to zero.  Not sure why this happens, but it does.

Is there a directory outside of the MC install directory that I can delete and re-install MC? Since it persists after a reinstall and an upgrade I'm thinking MC is pulling in some setting file that has been corrupted, etc.

Dunno - just trying to fix it.

[Couch]

Resolved: View is fixed. Album art is showing in Playing Now.

• Deleted the "/Applications/Media Center 22"
• Deleted the folder under "/Users/[myusername]/Library/Application Support",
• Reinstalled MC 22.0.108,
• Reconnected to my host library.
• Played a song.

Hello all,

I just now updated to 22.0.108 because I have been experiencing a segmentation violation with 22.0.88 on both a Mac Mini late-2012 (2.5 Ghz Intel Core i5, 16GB DDR3) and on a Macbook Pro 15 mid-2012 (2.6 Ghz Intel Core i7)

I was going to add a comment to the 22.0.88 thread since none of the release notes since that version mention anything about addressing segmentation violations. I'll see if it happens again

I'm reporting that 22.0.108 is showing up in Applications as Media Center 23, which I think is a bit premature. It is true that I have paid in advance for the upgrade to 23, but I don't think that should affect what I am seeing.

Best regards,
Jerald Josephs

Jerald,
I just installed it from the link above and it's installing as Media Center 22. The disk image, contents of the disk image and entry into the Applications directory all show it as Media Center 22.

[Awesome Donkey]

The *only* possibility I can think of is, did you move the Media Center 23 .mjr license to the Applications folder?

[tangolovers]

Hi,

I was previously running Media Center 22.0 on my PC which died 2 weeks ago.  I am now using a MAC and would like to know if there are any special steps to moving my license to the MAC or can I use the same one as before.   Secondly, once I get MC22 up and running, do I just import my old license?  Will everything port over very seamlessly??

Thank you very much!
Susie Melo

hello, we just purchased the license for MC25 and downloaded and installed MC25 it.  Upon opening the program it crashes in 20 seconds or so, before I can either install the license or import any music into my library.  Basically it just crashes within moments of opening.  There is no particular antivirus or privacy software or anything like that.  This is just a straight up MacBook air with the lates OSx installed.  I've tried this at least 7 times by now and it is very frustrating as this should be a smooth install.  Thanks for your help.

What build of MC are you running?
Would you email the crash report to me? bob (at) jriver (dot) com?
Thanks.
