JRiver Media Center 23.0.74 for Mac
« on: October 19, 2017, 12:58:52 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.

Download: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v23/latest/MediaCenter230074.dmg

23.0.74 (10/18/17)

1. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to version 3.4, used for file analysis, transcoding and video playback.
2. Fixed: 24-bit WMA files did not play properly.
3. Changed: When keyboard layout changes are made while MC is running, it now updates dynamically instead of having to restart.
4. Fixed: Some accelerator keys on non-English keyboard layouts were not working correctly, e.g. Cmd-A, Cmd-Q on French keyboards and Cmd-Z, Cmd-Y on German keyboards, and others.
5. Fixed: When a handheld device is configured to sync to a playlist and the user modified the playlist and selected "sync now" on the device, MC would not sync the modified playlist and instead popped a message saying the device was fully synchronized.
6. Fixed: When certain expressions were used in handheld media paths (e.g. Options / Handheld / Files, Paths, & More / Audio Path:), the device sync would not work correctly.
7. Changed: Panel - Many usability and cosmetic updates.

23.0.70 (10/6/17)

1. Changed; Changes from the main stream.
2. NEW: Many DLNA changes. See the windows beta log for 23.0.70

23.0.65 (9/29/17)

1. Fixed: MC could crash in certain cases when there was an error downloading an internet file.
2. Fixed: MC inconsistent test for gzip encoding in FileLoader.
3. New: Initial build on Xcode 9 and High Sierra.

23.0.52 (9/13/17)

1. Fixed: Up/Down arrow keys were still wrong.

23.0.51 (9/12/17)

1. Fixed: Keyboard problems still: arrow keys were inserting spaces into edit controls.
2. NEW: Added the right-click command to playing now "Paste Playing Now Image From Clipboard".  This way you can customize the image shown for a device.
3. Changed: Panel - The selected zone is now stored in a cookie and restored when returning to Web Gizmo after navigating away.
4. Changed: Panel - File conversion works on images so incompatible image types should now work on Web Gizmo.
5. Fixed: Converting video to MPEG-2 AutoFPS could fail due to an imprecise framerate.

23.0.50 (9/7/17)

1. Changed: Made the advanced section in the new tag window include calculated fields.
2. Changed: Updated the wording on the access key generation dialog to better describe adding the library.
3. Changed: You can no longer add your own library to the "Add Library" dialog.  Instead it shows a warning.
4. Fixed: Main thread could still stall for 30 seconds or more when a user created "handheld" device is actually a network drive which was removed from the network.
5. Changed: Typing searches in the tag window search box will accept entering a pipe to or the test with other things (ie. genre|artist).
6. Changed: If you pick "No import" from the auto-import count-down, it won't do another count-down.
7. Changed: The playlist export option "Store paths relative to exported playlist location" is saved between runs of the tool.
8. Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts were broken in 23.0.42.

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.

CD rip does not work on this release. It works on 65 and 70 so it's something very recent. I have used it a lot with no trouble until today.
iTunes can see and read the CD so I don't believe it's the hardware (internal optical drive on imac).

CD spins up and drive starts to read it but nothing appears beneath Drives and Devices. If I click on Rip CD under the Action Window, I get the error message 'Failed to create CD manager control'.

Would an MC error log help you?

Did you try powering off and back on?  I don't think anything has changed in the ripping area.

Hi,

I am having exactly the same problem.
I have tried it on two different MPBP's, but get the same error message. Have restarted both machines.
Your end methinks...... :(

Trying to demo the program.
If I'm an administrative user, it works - if I'm not, it crashes after 15-20 seconds.

Ref CD Ripping:

Yes, have restarted the machine but still have the problem. I have reloaded 65, 70 and 74 all round and behaviour is consistent. 74 will not rip; all others will.

I also have the same issue on a completely separate machine - a MacBook Pro that is independent of the iMac. Both machines running OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan and stable. Both machines have ripped with MC for a long time. Something has changed....

After accepting the first error message by clicking on Rip Disc (Failed to create CD manager control) I then get a second message screen: 'Ripping is currently unavailable. Please ensure that a suitable optical drive is installed on this machine. Also, make sure you are using a local library and are not in party mode'. I am using a local library and have checked that Party mode is not engaged. Does this give a clue where an unintended tweak may have occurred?

Can you reproduce this bug?

More than likely it's either a) building thumbnails in the background and/or b) analyzing audio.

You can find out by going to Help > System Info... and checking what Background Tools Running there are, if any.

the text inside the tag window has somewhat shifted to the right wasting quite a bit of blank space on the left (requiring to make the tag window bigger than neccessary)

I was looking forward too early: MC still crashes in the new version with special characters.
Try "cmd-k", insert "é" and MC will crash.

More than likely it's either a) building thumbnails in the background and/or b) analyzing audio.

You can find out by going to Help > System Info... and checking what Background Tools Running there are, if any.

PROBLEM SOLVED

Thank you for the help! Here is what I found:

System Info
Processing
   Thumbnails Built: 100% (23026 of 23026)
   Audio Analyzed: 58% (13204 of 22953)
Background Tools Running
   No tools currently running

There was no progress in Audio Analyzed files in several days while CPU consumption was at 100%. Attempt to quit Media Player or Media Server caused the process to become "not responding". Restart gets CPU back to 100%.

Removing option of analyzing audio on import resolved the problem. CPU utilization is low now.

Possible cause: when I upgraded to version 23 JRiver started scanning default iTunes folder, which I don't want to be in the library. I changed folders to monitor for auto-import and excluded iTunes folder. As a result, I got some duplicates in the library, which is another question I need to ask. Is it possible that JRiver trying to analyze the audio for the files that are no longer listed as part of the library and it caused a deadlock?

Any advice on how to remove duplicates is appreciated!

I get exactly the same result. MC crashes and disappears immediately. Would a crash log help you?

Version 0.74 will not play 4k video content. It either freezes within the first 3 seconds, or shows a blank gray screen. If resolution is 1080p or less, they play fine. Reverting back to version 0.65 solves the problem. I went  back & forth between the versions 3x to confirm the behavior. This is on a Late 2015 iMac 5k, High Sierra, with 64GB ram and a 2GB video card. The 4k videos are not the issue as they play quickly and flawlessly in VLC, QuickTime, and as stated above version 0.65 of JRiver. Suggestions?
