23.0.100 (2/6/2018)

1. Fixed: The long filename option wasn't working in all cases.

23.0.99 (2/6/2018)

1. Fixed: When a user played a TV channel live on a client using a locally accessible TV tuner, and then chose to start recording with context menu ("Record current program" etc.), MC erroneously started recording on the client at the same time sending recording command to the server.
2. Fixed: If a filename was too long, importing again with the long filename option set could still skip the file because it was in the bad database.

23.0.98 (2/5/2018)

1. Fixed: Authentication to MCWS was broken in 23.0.97.
2. Fixed: The last audio sample at the end of a video file could be repeated before playback was stopped.
3. Changed: A second attempt at Sat>IP tuner status probe.

23.0.97 (2/2/2018)

1. Changed: The playback position resets to the first track after reaching the end of Playing Now with repeat off (instead of staying on the last track).
2. Changed: Improved television time-shifting reader filter's buffering reader so there is less chance of hiccups during live TV playback.
3. Fixed: After editing in the Tag window, tooltips wouldn't show anymore until something was clicked.
4. Changed: Added 'Platform' response variable to web service 'Alive' function. Returns either Windows, Mac, or Linux.
5. NEW: (Experimental) MC will try to determine whether a Sat>IP tuner is in use by another application or other instances of MC.

1. NEW: Added support for the Album Artist Sort field and Composer Sort field to the ID3v2 code (TSO2 and TSOC).
2. Fixed: Audio files which used the DirectShow playback engine (like Shorten and Opus) did not play from a Library Server.
3. Fixed: Volume Protection could reset the volume level to 20% every restart of playback instead of after 30 minutes.
4. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
5. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
6. Fixed: The option to load a non-decoded file to memory wasn't working properly for FLAC files.
7. Changed: Changes were made in an attempt to fix and log a failure to stop recording a TV show.
8. Fixed: Search suggestions didn't always list short matches if there were a lot of other matches.
9. Fixed: Cover art wasn't getting embedded into ripped files.

23.0.95 (1/19/2018)

1. Fixed: The header heights used in the Tag window are better sized.
2. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

23.0.94 (1/12/2018)

2. Fixed: Changing TV tuner device order (in "Manage Devices") might not take effect until MC restarted.
3. Fixed: Selecting the Television view in the tree and refreshing would no longer have the item selected.
4. NEW: Animated GIF image support
5. Fixed: When MC was closed while an OTA EPG scanning was going on a confirmation was not shown.
6. NEW: The search box includes the names of playlists saved in the database and will switch to the playlist when it is selected.
7. NEW: The base path of the Rename, Move, & Copy Files dialog is a combobox that remembers the last entered paths.

23.0.93 (1/5/2018)

8. NEW: Added the shortcut Ctrl+, and Ctrl+. to switch to the previous and next track (useful during tagging).
9. NEW: Added clickable media type icons to PlayPower list of control sequence actions.  Simpler to set the media types each action applies to.

23.0.92 (12/20/2017)

1. Fixed: When using the audio Convert Format tool to convert from files that don't support tags (e.g. wav/aif when tag option is de-selected), the metadata in the database did not get added to the new file.
2. Fixed: Doing a Rename, Move, & Copy Files with no boxes checked on a file would make the program show a tagging error message.
3. Changed: The Wave format encoder now supports a configuration dialog to set whether or not tags are to be stored in the Wave file.  Previously this was only available from the 'Advanced / Configure Input Plugin' option selection on the Audio options dialog.
4. NEW: OSD "Lip Sync" adjustment.
5. NEW: Added MCCommand MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_VIDEO_LIPSYNC_ZONE (28044) for adjusting lip sync and saving the result in zone setting (instead of saving in individual file).  Keyboard shortcuts CTRL+SHIFT+COMMA, CTRL+SHIFT+PERIOD, and CTRL+SHIFT+SLASH, are associated with this command.
6. NEW: On "Manage TV Channels", the first two columns ("Channel" and "Channel #") can be in-place edited.
7. Changed: FormatNumber(...) allows trailing zeroes on decimals (previously it would crop them).
8. Fixed: Starting image playback of a single image with the 2D image viewer could immediately switch to the next track.
9. Fixed: With the 2D image viewer, the playback information about total time and time elapsed would not show.
10. NEW: Added MCWS call to get URL of an Engen server which has been configured in Media Center and check if it's alive. Example: http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Engen/ServerLocation
11. Fixed: Scheduled tasks Engen component was not showing actions that could be performed on devices, such as TurnOn, TurnOff, etc.
12. NEW: PlayPower actions can now operate on specific selectable media types.  You can select one or more applicable media types for each action.  Previously only Audio media types would work.
13. NEW: Made Ctrl+G toggle the tree state between collapsed and expanded instead of only collapsing.
14. NEW: When TV recordings are to be deleted, "Remove From Library", and, if the format is TS, "Send to Recycling Bin" are offered in addition to "Delete Files permanently" in the confirmation dialog.
15. Fixed: Several bugs in the TheaterView Lighting plugin, including the "All On" and "All Off" commands not working reliably.
16. Changed: The TheaterView Lighting plugin configuration dialog now verifies the presence of an Engen server rather than blindly trying to use whatever is entered for a URL.
17. NEW: The 'Connect' button on the wr.jriver.com/<accesskey> web page works with Panel.
18. NEW: Panel - The Engen button will only appear if the Engen server is running.
19. Changed: Panel - The Engen button will now redirect the user to the Engen server URL set in Media Center, instead of using the current URL and changing the port.

2. Fixed: Pausing OpenCable and SatIP live TV would cause TV to stop buffering new data in recent builds.

Split Black Boxes

[elderavelas]

Updated from build 96 to 100 (64bit).
With the new build, all became very slow. After start playing a song the program gets stuck for a while, but the song continues playing ok. Exiting the "stuck state" MC seems to be OK but gets stuck again after selecting another song to play.
I am using audio only mode. I do not know how it behaves with video or images.
My notebook is old (Core 2 Duo / 4GB RAM) but it was working fine so far, as long no heavy DSP is in use.
Returned to build 96 and all is back to normal.

[JimH]

I'll split this, but antivirus?  It might be OK with one build but not another.

Did you try installing and re-booting?

[DocLotus]

Don't know what's different in this build, but the "Clean up time shifting folders" problem I was having for the last several builds is now fixed. When I select "Also clean all remaining folders" is works correctly. Previously I had to manually clean all 80 or so remaining folders manually ONE AT A TIME (what a pain that was).

Like I said "don't know what has changed" but a really BIG THANK YOU for whatever it was.

It looks wrong.
Where is the V101?

100 is the current Windows Stable build.

[stewart_pk]

SHOUTCAST in Display View is broken. There's sound but a black screen that I have to End-Task out of.

[心寄瑶琴]

100 is the current Windows Stable build.

I provided a screenshot, why do you still not understand it?
I mean, the title of the JR stable download page is wrong! It's not 101 after clicking the link, do you understand?

[JimH]

I do.

Did you try installing and re-booting?

Yes, I reinstalled build 100 and reboot. Same problem.
I also restored a library backup (including settings) but the problem persists.

I updated to build 100 in another computer. In that second computer there is no problem.
The main difference is that the library folder is local for the computer that works fine and it is in a network drive for the one that has the issue. The good computer is also much faster and with a larger memory.

In the machine that has the issue, the MC GUI gets stuck for a long time, and we cannot operate it in any way. Sometimes Windows reports that the program is not responding.

I have made logs for both builds 100 and 96 while playing the same song.
They are attached in this post.

The log taken later is the one from the build 96.

Thanks.
