2. Fixed: Improved the reliability of the WDM audio driver, especially in WASAPI exclusive mode.
3. NEW: Added the ability to add a Clear Playing Now button to the toolbar.
4. Fixed: Tagging CD files (and possibly other areas) could sometimes show no dropdown choices instead of all the choices from the library.

24.0.45 (7/26/2018)

1. NEW: MCWS calls to GetInfo can specify "Calculated" for the fields to have the calculated fields included.
2. Changed: When failing to download internet EPG data during automatic updates, MC will not immediately re-try downloading.  Instead it will re-try 30 to 60 minutes later.
3. Changed: PercData EPG data is cached for 12 hours instead of 6 hours.
4. NEW: A button to exit the program can be added to the toolbar.
5. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
6. Fixed: The ratings on the OSD would not always stay in step when playing images.
7. Fixed: Installing 32-bit Media Center would not properly use the Program Files (x86) folder since 24.0.41.
8. NEW: The maximum memory playback size allocated is expanded to 4 GB from 1 GB on 64-bit builds.

24.0.44 (7/16/2018)

1. Changed: Volume protection won't engage for 30 minutes since the end of a file as well (instead of just 30 minutes from the start of a file).
2. Fixed: APL files would report the wrong length for the last file on an album.
3. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
4. NEW: Added Audio Path to the Theater View roller of Playing Now to display a prompt with all of the audio path information.
5. Fixed: Stopping image playback could crash.
6. Fixed: Subwoofer Low-pass from the Output Format DSP was not being applied properly in Pseudo Surround streams.
7. Changed: Added a 'Reset and Restore License' button to the registration info dialog on the Help menu.
8. Fixed: Adding an ellipsis to the end of a note name was not working properly.
9. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).

24.0.43 (7/11/2018)

1. Changed: Spacebar no longer fires Car Radio buttons, instead it will just toggle pause.
2. Changed: The maximum buffering for Direct Sound was increased from one second to three seconds.
3. Changed: Added buffering values for ASIO up to 3 seconds (previously stopped at 500ms).
4. Changed: Tweaks to Radio Paradise playback of the listener supported clips (previously the playback range could be invalid).

24.0.42 (7/10/2018)

1. Fixed: The duration of APL files would show the duration of the entire file instead of the APL segment.
2. Fixed: Playing Shoutcast streams could make the program lock up.
3. Fixed: Build 41 could cause TV recordings to stop and restart frequently if a client periodically merges data with the server.
4. Changed: When SACD ISO audio tracks are included in the files to be deleted, "Delete from disk" and "Recycle" options are not offered.
5. Changed: When SACD ISO audio tracks are to be removed from the library, only selected tracks will be removed, unselected tracks will remain in the library.  This is a reversal from a change made in build 21.
6. Fixed: Replacing dots with an ellipsis in Library Tools > Clean File Properties was not working.
7. Fixed: Running Library Tools > Clean File Properties with only the convert dots option selected would not work.
8. Changed: Media Center ensures the metadata block in a DSF file is valid before trying to overwrite it.

1. Changed: Red October updated to LAV Filters 0.72, for improvements in HD Audio Bitstreaming.

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.
5. Fixed: The 'c:\program files\' directory was getting included in the default automatic import so lots of image files like icons and small bitmaps were getting imported.

Is 24.0.47.1 the latest WDM driver version?

[Awesome Donkey]

Is 24.0.47.1 the latest WDM driver version?

24.0.46 has an improved WDM driver. Try it with Tidal masters at 24/96 and see if it's better.

[dtc]

The WDM driver that I see with MC 24.0.46 is 24.0.47.1.

I have not done long term streaming sessions with Tidal Masters, but on short tests the new WDM seems to work fine. Certainly the major stuttering is gone.  I do still get some glitches at startup when manual moving from track to track. Hendrik is aware of that and is investigating. It is a minor problem, but it does exist.

I rely on audio tags to control my library and prepare playlists. The new release has complicated tagging and does not allow me to chose tags.
How can I revert to a previous version?

[RD James]

I suspect that this is something which was changed some time ago, but I'm trying to update my SACD ISOs with a new naming scheme and the RMC tool seems to be ignoring all filename changes.
Only the Find & Replace feature seems to be working, and it doesn't support using expressions.
 
EDIT: I also seem to have lost the 'documents' category in the tree for some reason.

[JimH]

Make sure Documents is turned on in Options > General > Features.  It also won't show up until you have imported some.

It seems that my recent file system restructuring caused Media Center to remove any PDF files associated with the music library rather than detecting them as moved files, as the music directory is not configured to import PDF files automatically.
This meant that there were no "documents" in the library any more and it removed the category.
Setting another file in the library as "data" did not seem to work, but importing an actual PDF file did.
 
This appears to have deleted all of my custom views that were underneath the "Documents" heading though, and I was using the "Documents" category for all of my library maintenance views because I don't use Media Center to actually manage any documents.
 
The deletion of these categories seems like a bug, but I'd prefer an option to prevent the view from disappearing even if there aren't any documents in the library.

Small bug in MC 24.0.46 using this expression


if(!regex([Composer], /#^([^,]+)\s+([^,]*?)$#/),
   [Composer],
   regex(listclean([Composer], 2, / ),
         /#^(?:(I+|[JS]r\.?)\s+)?(\S+)(.*)$#/, -1)[R2]/,/ listclean([R3], 2, / )[R1]
)


from this old thread

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=78210.0


When the Composer is "Leos Janáček," I'd expect "Janáček, Leos" but instead get "Jana, Leos cek" (with the appropriate accents on the appropriate letters). See attached screenshot.

Haven't seen this on any other names so far. Maybe a Unicode issue or ??

[Edit] Meant to note: on the Mac 24.0.45, it comes out "Janáček, Leos" as it should.

Not sure if is a relate audio driver bug, but in my 5.1 realtek high definition audio chipset cannot have rear speaker to works decoding DTS-MA. I try lot of configuration using DSP but nothing help.
