I have loaded build 23.0.90 on my IMac running High Sierra. My Renderer is a networked Yamaha ysp-5100 sound bar.
I control media centre using jremote on my ipad running ios 11.2

Whilst playing music I put the screen of my IMac to sleep so I have a dark screen.
Prior to this build I had no problems, Now however I can only play the track or playlist selected before I put the screen to sleep. I can’t select a different track in the playlist or play a different album without waking the IMac screen up. If I try and play another album nothing happens until I wake the IMac screen up.

This makes this build unusable for me.

Is this a bug? If not can the old DLNA method be offered as a selectable alternative.

Thanks.

Update 20/12/17 I have reloaded JRiver and l thought it was working as sometimes l can select just one track after sleeping the screen but then nothing else, but sometimes nothing. I discovered this was just a timeout of about 5secs after sleeping screen.
So still not working.

Update 24/12/17 Have just loaded latest High Sierra release from apple and I can now use Media center with my screen in sleep mode. The only strange thing is that it was working untill I loaded Media center 23.0.90.... I will monitor the situation and see if there are any other issues.

Update 28/12/17 Tonight the TV grabbed the renderer whilst the Imac screen was in sleep mode afterwards media center would not play and went back to how it was before with no track selection, and trying to play another album would not work, until after the screen was woken.
I restarted the Imac and it started working properly again. However it appears that if another device uses the renderer media center can’t regrab it when the screen is asleep? When the screen is woken up the renderer starts playing. Has there been a change to the initialisation or the way the renderer is engaged? The sleep screen issue reappeared and grabbing the renderer seems to be a problem and the renderer is still not remembered after a restart of the Imac (It did loose the renderer after a restart before this build but it was grabbed ok after it had been found by turning the renderer off and on)

As I said initially I never had problems till build 23.0.90 but there are now some issues.
If jriver has not been using the renderer it will not grab it if screen is asleep.

Sorry, it may sound boring now but the problems with special characters still remain.
And I still have the problem that all settings of the letter size is set to an unreadable
minimum after the restart of the app.

Scrolling (i.e. two-finger scroll, depending on how your mac is set up) doesn't work on the playlist window within the tagging window.  Currently I need to grab the scroll bar and drag up and down.

Two-finger scrolling works in other areas.

Split the Panel connection problem.

This version is getting a little long in the tooth... any updates on the way?

[StFeder]

When using the option "Stop after current file", the current file keeps being the "active" one, so that hitting play after stop will play the same file again. Is this intended? I'm quiet sure the windows version changes to the next track after stopping, so that hitting play makes the next song play. Or am I perhaps missing an option here?
