3. NEW: The WDM driver is now certified by Microsoft for full Windows 10 compatibility.
4. Changed: TV Recording Manager will update recording actions cache in a worker thread so it will not cause GUI to be sluggish.

1. Fixed: Saving/Restoring the Bookmark on DVD playback was not working.

10. Changed: Added a translation item "Channels^^TV^^" to distinguish TV channels from audio channels.
11. Changed: The MCWS call Playlist/Files returns a copy of the files with links included.
12. Fixed: Sidecar files were created erroneously for some audio files supporting internal tagging, even if the sidecar mode was "Save in sidecar if internal tagging is not supported". This happened when audio option "write tool name and version" was off.
13. Changed: Adjusted expired time tracking in OpenGL Theater View to try to prevent failure after long time of idle.

28. Changed: Panel - The background of the currently playing item in the Playing Now list has a different shade to make it more visible.
29. NEW: TV Engine would try to stop run-away recordings in case the main thread is blocked for some reason.
30. Changed: LipSync default adjustment amount is changed from 50 ms to 10 ms.
31. Fixed: DLNA: Do a direct query of the volume of a DLNA renderer zone when we it's not the current zone (or JRemote/Gizmo will show 0 volume)

The new WDM driver seems to be working well on Windows 10 1803.

The files I import into MC are already tagged. Now when I check them with a tagging program, I see that some of them have additional information tagged (Dynamic Range, Tempo, Replay Gain, etc.). That is OK for me. But those files have also another value in the Album Artist tag.
So for files that have the additional analytical tags, the Album Artist has a value "Artist; Artist", which is kind of annoying. The duplicate values do not show in MC when I open up the tagging editor but they show up in another editor (e.g. dbpoweramp).

Confirmed by two other users here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,114704.0.html

Upgrading from 24.0.30 to 24.0.41 problems:

3D wouldn't work. It was working great in .30

Since we couldn't watch the movie in 3D we watched the 2D 1080p version and playback glitched. I saw a quick glitch and figured it was a playback problem with madVR but towards the end of the movie we realized that it had skipped ahead and we missed part of the movie.

What is the best way to downgrade including the new LAV filters?

Yes, thanks. DSF and AIF formats are affected as far as I know.

Uninstalled .41 and went back to .19 which was the first older version I found on my PC. 3D is working.

JRemote don't find sometimes the network server from version 41. I'm downgrade to version 30.

Just try with 24.0.41 and 3D works well here. Starting the movie JR download correctly new parts.

Glad to hear it works but I'm going to stay where I am for now and deal with the very occasional ATMOS dropout.

did you install the update? if so you may need to be using a stock skin.

Hi!

First I want to say. I am so pleased by Your software...it really is excellent...and Oslo Hifi Center recommended it for me when I Bought Bel Canto DAC and Amplifier.

Ok but this is also video software...I just have a small question...will it be able to play 4K/UHD files in the future or just discs and streaming?

I use wasapi option to my asus essence stx pc audio card on my PC. or are wasapi jriver 23 driver regarded as better?
(the other pc has bel canto audio driver of course).

Thanks
Thomas

I can't think of any video file (format) MC can't play.

jgleim · « **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2018, 10:14:48 am »

The option for "Cover Art > Get From Internet" has gone missing in version 24.0.41 (both as a Tool and as a right-click option on a file).

When I go to Streaming, MC24 pauses to download Chromium? Problem is it downloaded it yesterday also, and once before that.

Start a slideshow. Use right arrow key to quickly advance through several images. Use down arrow key to bring up the OSD, cycle to Ratings. Use right arrow key to set a rating value. Use up arrow to show Playing Now, then right arrow to advance to next image, and left arrow to move back. Check the image's rating, it remains unset. Note: tested on images with rating known to be unset.

Observations:
It happens most of the time, but not every time.
A second attempt succeeds.
Often the rating value is actually applied to the first image in the playlist.

Please fix :-)

After updating from 030 to 041, when I close MC from within the program or using "mc24 /close"

the program ends and then a few seconds later I get a popup saying "JRiver Web Application has stopped working" with a button to "Close the program". I reverted back to 030 and the error message does not appear.

UPDATE: No problem with 034 and the close error shows on 037.

Run Media Server on Windows startup. It's in Options > Startup.

Is this a bug that will be corrected in a future build? If it is the new expected behaviour, then why have an option to turn the Media Server on/off?

JimH · « **Reply #22 on:** July 22, 2018, 12:11:28 pm »

I don't think it's a bug. If you exit MC, the webapp (Panel) can't run. MC no longer runs a web server.

Something changed for sure... since I don't have the issue with 034 and I do with 037. If MC no longer runs a web server, why is there an option to start it ?

I have never used the Panel, I'd prefer to not have parts of MediaCenter running when I'm not running the actual program.

Okay, I misunderstood your prior statement. Why must we choose to run the web server if it's somehow required to run? Why must I run the webserver if I have no plans on using any part of the program that requires the webserver? What changed after 034?

My TV is having difficulty now. It is freezing after several seconds while the audio continues. Then the player crashes with an error message about the 3D player resetting. I have not used it ever, so I was surprised to see it. I have used JRiver since 19 I think on this machine and have never had any issues with playback before. It happens with new recordings and stuff that was recorded in the past that I know played fine before. I am hoping the next version will help.
