JRiver Media Center 23.0.42 for Mac
« on: August 31, 2017, 04:03:50 pm »

This is the latest build of JRiver Media Center 23 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

[build pulled by JimH -- shortcuts broken]

23.0.42 (8/31/17)

1. Fixed: In list views, the "typed navigation" feature (type a letter to select the next track beginning with that letter) wasn't working for characters with diacritic marks (e.g. umlauts, accents, etc.).
2. Fixed: Non English text input was not working correctly in most edit controls.  MC still does not handle languages requiring multiple key presses for a single character, such as many Asian languages.
3. Changed: In the Cmd-K popup text entry dialog for entering special characters, the input field is now focused immediately so you don't need to click in it first.
4. Fixed: Small memory leak in text sorting system.
5. Changed: The image portion of the tag window uses the same highlight color from the skin as the text fields.
6. Changed: Added selection colors to the tag section of all the skins (thanks Awesome Donkey).
7. Fixed: If one of the conversion cache folders was empty, it would exclude all folders from an import.
8. Changed: Conversion cache folders are enforced to always be underneath a "JRiver Conversion Cache" folder.
9. Changed: Convert Format tool will prevent system from going to sleep.
10. Changed: The fields with values section of the new tag window now includes editable calculated fields like year.
11. Changed: Skins can specify a highlight color for the tag window by filling: <TAGWINDOW> <Colors Selection="00FF00" /> with a value.
12. Changed: When Media Center pops out of the tray to play a video (new feature) it'll now return to the tray after the video is stopped.
13. Changed: The reshuffle remaining command disables when there's less than two tracks in Playing Now.
14. Changed: Panel replaces the old WebGizmo interface.
15. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added radio buttons and play doctor search.
16. Fixed: Web Gizmo - Mobile view playback controls.
17. Changed: Made searching on an expression work with greater than and less than signs to treat it as a number (that makes a search like [=ListCount([Artist])]=>1 work).
18. Changed: Web Gizmo - Simplified interface by removing the sidebar and adding navigation links.
19. Fixed: Picking multiple files with different ratings would clear the rating field in the new tag window.
20. Fixed: Possible rare crash from the tab control code.
21. Fixed: Typed navigation was not working in pane views on Windows.
22. NEW: Ratings show as lists of clickable stars in the new tag window instead of as a number.
23. Changed: Lyrics and other large value type edit fields will show up to 6 lines in the new tag window instead of only one line.
24. Fixed: Mouse wheeling over a large text edit control in the new tag window would stop the editing instead of scrolling.
25. Changed: Clicking the close button on the new tag window will stop any open editing instead of closing the window.
26. NEW: Web Gizmo - Playing now page on mobile has complete playback controls.

23.0.41 (8/24/17)

1. Fixed: When certain keyboard input sources were selected (e.g. Japanese and maybe others), keyboard input was not working.
2. Changed: The zone switch menu appears when you right-click DLNA zones.
3. Changed: Files that get linked now contain a "Link Start" field value that's the first file in the link.  This allows you to easily see if a file is linked or not (since the "Link" field is empty on the last file).
4. Changed: When starting playback of linked tracks, the first file in the link set is always started (if the link was newly created so has the Link Start set).
5. Changed: Clicking a large edit box will no longer select all (instead the selection will be at the start).
6. Changed: Added the video option "Stop after a long pause" to make the new behavior optional (defaults to on).
7. NEW: The new tag window has the ability to show all fields with values (just add the type "Fields With Values" in the edit dialog).
8. NEW: Added the expression function IsDigit to test a string for digits (and decimals).
9. Fixed: "Get Movie & TV Info" properly handles Unicode sequences in the TheTVDB result.
10. NEW: "Get Movie & TV Info" now offers a language choice for metadata lookup (currently available with TheTVDB and TheMovieDB).
11. Changed: Web Gizmo - Added tree browsing optimizations which limit the number of requests.
12. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added currently playing name and artist information to playback bar.
13. Fixed: Web Gizmo - Search bar was not updating results on change.
14. NEW: Web Gizmo - Progress bar now shows buffered portions of the media.
15. NEW: Web Gizmo - Fullscreen mode for images along with previous & next controls.
16. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added search, playing now file list, and file list view when browsing.

3. NEW: Added support for Olympus ORF files.
4. Changed: Updated the Japanese language file again because there was a carriage return missing in the original and it caused trouble.

23.0.20 (7/17/17)

1. Fixed: Typed keyboard navigation was not working in list views.
2. Fixed: Enable DSD in Wavepack.

23.0.13 (6/28/2017)

1. NEW: The Library Server and MCWS are now available over HTTPS.
2. NEW: Radio KISS, a new web based player interface to Media Center.  It's on the "Panel" web page labeled "Radio".  Currently under active development.

5. NEW: Added right-click More Play Options > Play Album (shuffled).
6. NEW: Video playback stops when paused for 10 minutes.

9. NEW: Added "Stop After Playing Track" to the right-click menu in Playing Now.

12. Changed: Left-click on a tooltip hides the tooltip
13. Changed: Space-bar now works for check/uncheck checkboxes in list controls, such as the DSP plugin list in DSP studio.
14. Changed: DLNA: Added a controller option to Ignore GetPosition Failure (on broken renderers) which is NOT set by default. As a consequence of this, DLNA device status checking is simplified for normal devices when the option is NOT enabled. This will allow other broken renderers to work when the options is NOT set. The option is specifically for Stream-Only devices.
15. Changed: Improved the Modern Cards: Grey Edition skin (thanks Awesome Donkey).
16. Fixed: Playlist export didn't fix the filenames, so if the playlist name contained a colon or other character that wasn't legal, it didn't work properly.
17. Fixed: When doing DLNA rendering of "wav" files (not L24 or L16), MC was doing an expensive internet open/read/close operation (twice) to check for exotic "wav" files containing compressed data that need the video engine. Now we only do this for local files.  Caused hesitation between tracks on slow devices like ID's.
18. Fixed: Downmixing a LFE channel could be affected by the wrong LFE frequency setting.
19. Fixed: Playing images on a library server client with conversion enabled would double rotate the images (so the rotation would appear wrong).
20. Optimized: Performance enhancements when changing pages and selecting playlists

Also, View shortcuts are all now Command + '. How do I change this?

Do we need to backup, uninstall old, install new, restore, or is this a bug? Seems like an "oops" to me. ;)

LOL, all shortcuts changed to that for me. :) Went back to 23.0.41 so I could just listen to music instead of doinking around for now.

Confirmed.  Multiple menu items on multiple menus are all labeled as Command-+ now.  None of them work.

I'm sure the developers will fix this one pretty quickly.

Thanks,

Brian.

Back up in MC22.  Restore the backup in MC23.

MC makes automatic backups.

The arrow keys on the keyboard don't work anymore. In many tag field they create spaces instead of moving forward and back.
The up and down arrows don't work in pop-up menus.
I downgraded to 23.0.41 and hope that shortly a better version will arrive.

It would be wonderful if some work routines and shortcuts that are available in nearly all Mac programs would be implanted in MC, also - like the up and down arrow that let the cursor jump to the start or end of a text phrase.

Guys!
Why in the Mac version the Video Playing cannot be pulled out from the app (like a separate, floating screen) like on Windows?
Is there any chance for that in the future?

Detached Display.  Yes.  Bob just got it working on Linux this week.  Hopefully, he will be able to do it on Mac sometime in the not too distant future.

+1 to unusable keyboard input. Losing Command-F for search, and arrow keys, are major usability problems for me.

Thank you! That would be nice!
And one more thing.
How do I get those back in version 23?
1. The option to show tags only in the current view and
2. Rating the tracks using the stars system - and that nice icon where i used to paste the covers for the songs.

It would be nice if there soon could be a corrected or new build.
I tried to go back to the last build but that is regularly crashing now
and I am working with the newest one again.

You have a different problem then.  23.0.41 worked perfectly for me even after I had gone to .42 and then went back again.  Did you re-install 23.0.41 by dragging it into the Applications folder and then saying "over write" when it asked you what to do?

If you are still experiencing crashes now, please start a new thread and we will try to get your issue sorted out.

Thanks –
