23.0.88 (12/6/2017)
1. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.33.

23.0.87 (12/4/2017)
1. Changed: Made the option to not translate hot keys when running as Media Server actually unregister the program for hot keys so hopefully it won't catch them anymore (before it would catch them but not translate them).
2.
NEW: WIA devices (scanners) show up under Action Window > Camera in the device list.
3. Changed: The computer no longer goes to deep sleep while it's serving DLNA files.
4.
NEW: Added the zone ID and index to the tooltip for Playing Now zones.
5.
Changed: DLNA: Some devices were slow responding, especially to the SetAVTransportURI function. Made the timeout for these longer than the default. Was resulting in "Something went wrong with playback" errors. Added logging for this as well.
6.
NEW: Added the device address to the tooltip for remote zones.
23.0.86 (12/1/2017)
1.
NEW: Individual playlists can be added to Theater View navigation (Options > Theater View > Items to Show).
2. Changed: DLNA, reduce number of calls for status when the device (zone) being displayed is not being actively controlled by MC.
3. Changed: DLNA, reduce number of getvolume and getmute calls whenever a device (zone) is being displayed or controlled.
4.
NEW: DLNA, when a device fails to support setNextAVTransportURI, it will be automatically set to disabled in the DLNA controller options for that zone.
5.
NEW: The expanded states of playlists in the tag window are saved between file selections and opens of the tag window.
6.
NEW: Added the option to not translate hot keys when running as Media Server (Options > General > Advanced).
7.
NEW: Added the ability to add a stop command to the Scheduler.
8. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.32.
9.
NEW: Added the choice of Playing Now to the play command in the scheduler to start playback of whatever is in Playing Now.
10. Fixed: Right-click on a playlist and picking Export Playlist didn't switch the view to that playlist so it could fail to export or even export the wrong playlist.
11.
NEW: Added a "Recording Conflicts" column to television Standard view EPG for to be recorded entries. The column is available in "All Programs", "Favorites", and "To Be Recorded". Users need to opt to show the column.
12. Fixed: DLNA when the option was added to allow the formats to be specified for conversion in the DLNA server Audio settings, there wasn't a default value so nothing was getting converted. This won't fix existing installations, the formats will need to be selected on them but new installations will work as previously intended.
13. Fixed: MC could not read metadata tags in some WAVE files in recent builds.
23.0.85 (11/27/2017)
1. Fixed: If Chromium was selected as the MC browser and it hadn't been installed or it needed an update, when MC's web browser was started up it would freeze the main thread for a long period of time. Now it shows a popup status message with a Cancel button.
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (
thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
3. Fixed: Right-click on Track Info pages didn't work if Chromium was the engine.
4. Fixed: When you started up and played a file with Volume Protection enabled, it wouldn't always switch the volume to 20%.
5. Change: Television engine internal re-organization.
23.0.84 (11/21/2017)
1. NEW: The confirmation message box in "Clean up time-shifting folders" tool has a "Yes, and apply to all remaining x folders as well" button, so that one can clean up all remaining folders without additional confirmation.
2. Changed: Updated Slovak translation
(thanks Peter Lukac).
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.30.
4. Changed: Updated Greek translation (
thanks Panagiotis).
5. Fixed: Recent versions weren't playing some APE files.
6. Changed: When TV time-shifting needs to jump forward due to channel changing, the process is serialized to prevent multiple threads from doing the same thing simultaneously.
7. Fixed: Sat>IP TV recording could not be done in TS format.
8. Fixed: TV recording folder names could be messed up (causing the folder not being able to be deleted) for shows whose names end with ellipsis (three consecutive '.').
23.0.83 (11/16/2017)
1. Fixed: The right-hand column of the tag window would be too small to read any values when MC's tree view was set to a narrow size.
2. Fixed: DLNA server, the cover art update from 23.0.81 missed sending the smallest thumbnail size.

7. Changed: Setting the Filename (path) field with an import rule will fix the directory path (add a slash at the end) so that the path cleaning functions that remove directories with dots, etc. run.
8. Changed: The expression customization (like in the player area display) allows using the variable [Library.Path] to show the path of the current library.
9.
NEW: You can customize the number of thumbnail text lines (and then we'll wrap instead of truncate) by picking "Thumbnail Text Lines" from the view header menu.
10. Fixed: YouTube searching in Theater View wasn't working.
11. Fixed: The options icons wouldn't resize properly when a scale of the entire program was selected.
12.
NEW: Panel - Panel will display cover art or thumbnail when playing to a zone other than the browser, .

11. NEW: The search on the options box accepts a page name before an arrow to search just a certain page (ie. Audio > Device will search only the audio branch instead of hitting anyplace that has Device).
12. Fixed: Searching in options wouldn't work right if you backspaced to remove characters.
13. Changed: Hidden channels are excluded from OTA EPG scans.
14.
NEW: Added Medium and Large cover art to the sizes offered by our DLNA servers.
