24.0.20 (4/27/2018)

1. Fixed: Some video capture devices or analog tuner devices had audio routing failures.
2. NEW: Added Radio Fip to the Streaming section.
3. Changed: The MCWS call Configuration/ErrorFreeMode will only set the error free mode if an ErrorFree parameter is set (that way you can query by not specifying this parameter).
4. Changed: The root 'Streaming' item in the tree no longer auto-expands to show the sites underneath (since they're already on the page).
5. NEW: Panel - Added an option to the play context menu to play with Play Doctor.
6. Fixed: Importing SACD ISO files that had been moved to a new location did not get data from the existing sidecar files.
7. Fixed: Every play would turn error free mode off.

24.0.19 (4/25/2018)

1. Changed: Exporting all playlists no longer empties the destination directory (so also removed the confirmation).
2. NEW: Added Radio Swiss Classic to the Streaming section.
3. Fixed: Internal audio latency calculation could go wrong during video playback.
4. Changed: Files that provide a name in the tags that gets displayed in the player area will now also save that name to the Name field of the file.
5. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
6. NEW: Added BBC World Service to the Streaming section.
7. Fixed: Sidecar did not work for SACD ISO files.
8. NEW: Panel - File ratings can be changed from Panel by clicking on the stars. This requires full authentication. For now, there is a delay in updating the rating on the web browser while it waits for Media Center to report back the change.
9. Changed: Panel - Ratings will now show up on some smaller screen sizes.
10. NEW: Panel - The file play options menu was changed to a modal because dropdown menus were taking a long time to render.
11. Changed: Panel - The system settings pages no longer revert authentication to read-only when leaving them.  Required for ratings.

24.0.18 (4/23/2018)

1. Fixed: Added a confirmation box to "Export All Playlists..." since it will erase the selected folder and replace it with only playlists.
2. Fixed: The Streaming selection in the tree didn't go away when unchecking Features > Streaming.
3. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
4. Changed: Error Free mode is saved and loaded to options so the value persists between runs.
5. Fixed: Our DLNA renderer wasn't working when controlled from BubbleUPnP (and probably other DLNA controllers).
6. Fixed: The PlayPower dialog could cut off some information on the right-hand side with large font sizes.  Now it's wider and resizable.
7. NEW: Panel - Added a menu with Play options.

24.0.17 (4/20/2018)

1. Fixed: Sidecar was not written for non-JPEG images if the sidecar mode was "Save in sidecar if internal tagging is not supported."
2. NEW: Quick Play will shuffle playing files if Ctrl is held down.
3. Changed: Made images use the date the file was modified as the date if there's no other date (previously importing from the clipboard would have no album, but this fixes that).
4. Fixed: Disabling the Media Center Shell Extension from 64-bit Media Center did not always work.
5. Fixed: Editing an image and resizing, then cancelling the edit would still have the resize there when you opened the editor again.
6. Fixed: Crash when TV recording on an OpenCable channel finished.
7. Fixed: During Blu-ray Menu Playback, a Chapter indicator could pop-up mid-playback on some discs.
8. NEW: Experimental support for Menus on UltraHD Blu-ray Discs (for testing only, expect problems).
9. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
10. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to version 4.0, used for file analysis and transcoding.

24.0.16 (4/18/2018)

1. Changed: Internal changes to the Regex implementation (smaller binaries all around).
2. Changed: Added safeguard when clients delete TV recordings on the library server.
3. Fixed: Opening Audio Streams would stall since 24.0.13.
4. Changed: Italian translation updated (thanks Matteo).
5. Fixed: Theater View could show a black screen on certain older AMD graphics cards.
6. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
7. NEW: Added a television option "If a recording rule does not include tagging or post-process command, apply respective defaults."
8. Changed: Updated the link under Help > New / Improved This Version to go to v24.
9. Fixed: If the sidecar mode was set to "Sidecar only", video tagging did not save most tag info into the sidecar file.
10. NEW: Panel - Added a shuffle button to the Playing Now page.
11. NEW: Panel - Added a repeat button to the Playing Now page for the local player.
12. Changed: Panel - The Playing Now bar will no longer display the cover art and track information when on the Playing Now page.
13. Changed: Panel - Made some slight adjustments to the layout of the Playing Now bar.
14. Fixed: Panel - When playing to other zones, Panel would think there were three files in the playlist if it was empty.
15. Fixed: Panel - Missing Panel theme change for the Playing Now bar on the Playing Now page in portrait orientation.

24.0.15 (4/13/2018)

1. Changed: Replaced the Java for Blu-ray Menu playback with a different version for better compatibility with certain discs.
2. Fixed: Media Center could hang when encountering read errors on Blu-ray discs.
3. Fixed: Playback of BD-J Blu-rays could erroneously not report any available chapters.
4. Fixed: Updated the ModernCards skins to properly support Split Views (thanks marko & Awesome Donkey).

24.0.14 (4/12/2018)

1. NEW: Added support for Foobar playlist files (FPL).
2. Fixed: Opening a drop down pane when there was a search with no results could crash.  Now search resets the drop down pane selection.
3. Fixed: A bug in sidecar support introduced in build 13 caused audio or image tagging to report error erroneously.

24.0.13 (4/11/2018)

1. Changed: Tooltips will show for 90 seconds instead of 30 seconds.
2. NEW: Added the option to use YouTube TV for the YouTube view to Options > Services > YouTube.
3. Fixed: The sizing of the Manage Library Fields... dialog could be wrong with certain skins.
4. Changed: Switched the calls for the web service of Streaming to route directly into the player instead of having to have Media Network enabled.
5. NEW: Sidecar file support for audio, data, image, as well as video files.

24.0.12 (4/10/2018)

1. NEW: Added the expression function NoArticles(...) to remove the articles from a string.
2. Fixed: Possible fix for problems when transcoding to MP3 to network clients.
3. Changed: Ripping a Blu-ray disc includes the disc certificate, which is used to determine the Disc Id by some tools.
4. NEW: Added an option to configure the Region Code for Blu-ray playback.
5. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
6. Fixed: Audio streaming/analysis/conversion could stall under specific circumstances since 24.0.6.
7. NEW: Switched the default skin to Modern Cards: Grey Edition (Thanks, Awesome Donkey).  The old default was Noire, set under View > Skins.
8. Changed: Switched the default to gapless playback instead of cross-fading.
9. Changed: Removed the option to Play Radio Paradise from the file menu.

24.0.11 (4/7/2018)

1. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
2. Changed: Made "Date Last Opened" clear-able in the editor.
3. Fixed: JTV recordings' index files (.JTI) could be corrupt in some cases, causing seeking during playback to be very inefficient.
4. NEW: Streaming is now at the root level of the tree, with Podcasts under it.
5. Changed: Television engine internal reorganization.

Radio Fip and Radiotime only appear in the streaming drop down.

Why is Radiotime not labelled as TuneIn?

Radio Fip should be showing up in the streaming page now. I'm not familiar with Radiotime or TuneIn being added. If they were added as custom streaming stations, they won't show up in the streaming page. They will only show up in the left-hand tree. Only the streaming stations we add as defaults show up in the streaming page.

I'm getting a MadVR error when trying to play any MKV (DVD or Blu-Ray MKV):

"MadVR Reports 'Creating Direct3D Device Failed (8876086a)'"

I have to use Task Manager and a manual "End Task" to get out of MC when this error has happened. When the program restarts (after resetting to default settings), if I don't get this MadVR error again, MKVs don't start at all but rather just sit at 0:00 till I again "End Task." The only thing that makes the video player work again is a reboot. Do note that this has only come up intermittently since upgrading to 24.0.20 earlier today, i.e., it's not happening with every MKV I try. Anyway, don't know if this is a bug or some weirdness with my computer.

I can't delete stations from under the 'Streaming' tree which were added (by me) in the past (when they were under the old heading).  I delete them via right-clicking-'edit/remove', they disappear, but when I close and reopen MC (latest build) they're right back there.

I'd like to be able to streamline (no pun) this part of MC to only those stations I'm interested in.  Can we not delete the stations in the main window?  I can do it in the tree, again, by right-clicking and un-checking, but it doesn't refect in the main window.

Lastly, I may have asked this elsewhere, but could we perhaps have the ability to add some of our favorite stations to the upper or lower toolbar? 

Thanks!

Confirmed.  Should be fixed next build.  Thanks for the report.

Running Media Server on startup is not working for me.  Nothing related to MC is launched after logging in.

Try removing it from the startup option. Restart the computer, add it back in. I also had this issue when updating from 23->24. But the proposed procedure fixed that for me.

This fixed it.  Thanks very much!
