24.0.56 (10/4/2018)

1. Fixed: Volume up and down hot keys Cmd+ and Cmd- weren't working.
2. Fixed: Some skins displayed the player bar text font too large so it would overlap the boundaries.
3. Fixed: On OS X Mojave, Media Center could crash if the Security/Privacy/Accessibility settings had not been changed to allow MC to monitor the keyboard media key events.

24.0.53 (9/19/2018)

1. Fixed: In a multi-monitor setup, if the main MC window was maximized on a secondary monitor MC wouldn't remember and after a restart would appear on the first (main) monitor.
2. Fixed: Menu submenu arrows were tiny on Retina displays, also fixed other menu spacing and format problems.
3. Fixed: The Options, DSP, and other dialogs on a Retina display would double in size when user tried to resize them.
4. Fixed: Save and restore of window placement wasn't taking retina scaling into account, so the program could come up in different sizes.
5. Fixed: Progress and status updates in the action window for thumbnail building and other long processes would stop updating after a period of time.  It would look like it didn't finish.
6. Fixed: The text font size picker (in Options / Tree & View) was wonky with Retina displays and the fonts would get smaller and smaller with each change.
7. Fixed: Splitter window sizes in the Media Center UI would change when switching between Retina and standard res displays.
8. NEW: Panel - Added an option to toggle ratings.
9. Changed: Panel - Added tabs to the settings page and groupings for similar options.
10. Changed: Panel - Thumbnail art is no longer cropped into squares.
11. Changed: Panel - Different icon for the streaming page button.
12. Fixed: Panel - Possible error on the Playing Now page if a file had no track information.
13. Fixed: Panel - A couple of issues with the alphabetic slider interface not working properly.
14. Fixed: Panel - Pressing the Playing Now page button was not scrolling the currently playing track to the top of the list on mobile devices.
15. Fixed: Panel - The file list was not loading correctly because it wasn't rendering properly.
16. Fixed: Radio Paradise could just play the opening listener supported clip over and over in some cases (at least until more tracks loaded).
17. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
18. Fixed: The OpenGL variant of Theater View didn't support clicking the rating bar in Playing Now.
19. Fixed: Radio Paradise could report a problem starting playback (and not play).
20. NEW: Added the option General > Behavior > Remove files from Playing Now after they are played.
21. NEW: Added a DSD Bitstreaming option to select the maximum DSD sample rate to bitstream, and otherwise fallback to decoding.
22. Changed: Pix01 uses more secure building and uploading of galleries. You MUST have this build or newer to upload galleries to Pix01 now.
23. NEW: Pix01 has a password change function which it triggered by the "forgot password" button in the pix01 login information box. ALL passwords for pix01 have been reset and will need to be updated by the user.
24. Changed: Pix01 has higher resolution gallery uploads and the webpage displays larger thumbnail images.
25. NEW: DLNA: If we are playing to (controlling) a renderer and the track playback stops before the end (granularity of 5 seconds) we assume another controller has been used to stop the playback and as such we will not continue a playlist and assume we are no longer the active controller.
26. NEW: Links to individual playlists can be added to the toolbar.
27. Changed: Radio JRiver will skip any files in a "Radio JRiver Skips" playlist.

24.0.45 (7/31/2018)

1. Fixed: The previous build wouldn't run on MacOS 10.8
2. NEW: MCWS calls to GetInfo can specify "Calculated" for the fields to have the calculated fields included.
3. NEW: A button to exit the program can be added to the toolbar.
4. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
5. Fixed: The ratings on the OSD would not always stay in step when playing images.
6. 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).
7. Fixed: APL files would report the wrong length for the last file on an album.
8. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
9. NEW: Added Audio Path to the Theater View roller of Playing Now to display a prompt with all of the audio path information.
10. Fixed: Stopping image playback could crash.
11. Fixed: Subwoofer Low-pass from the Output Format DSP was not being applied properly in Pseudo Surround streams.
12. Changed: Added a 'Reset and Restore License' button to the registration info dialog on the Help menu.
13. Fixed: Adding an ellipsis to the end of a note name was not working properly.
14. Changed: Spacebar no longer fires Car Radio buttons, instead it will just toggle pause.
15. Changed: Tweaks to Radio Paradise playback of the listener supported clips (previously the playback range could be invalid).

24.0.42 (7/11/2018)

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. Changed: When SACD ISO audio tracks are included in the files to be deleted, "Delete from disk" and "Recycle" options are not offered.
4. 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.
5. Fixed: Replacing dots with an ellipsis in Library Tools > Clean File Properties was not working.
6. Fixed: Running Library Tools > Clean File Properties with only the convert dots option selected would not work.
7. Changed: Media Center ensures the metadata block in a DSF file is valid before trying to overwrite it.
8. Changed: Improved APL importing so that it will look at the image file for some of the metadata and the APL file for some of the other metadata.
9. Changed: Panel - Moved the Radio Paradise button to the Web Streams section on the Streaming page.
10. Changed: Panel - Adjusted the file list column alignment for the ratings column.

This build has some issues:

1.  On startup, Playing Now shows a fairly small cover art image with a very large song list below it.  When moving the splitter bar to try to make the cover art bigger, it initially "jumps" way up, making the cover art MUCH smaller.  Dragging down works, but I eventually reach the bottom of the screen with the mouse, but the splitter bar is still waaaaaaay up top leaving me with small cover art.

2.  The rather annoying "this list has duplicates" bug is still there.  I read in the windows builds that this had been removed because it wasn't working correctly.  It doesn't seem to work correctly here on Mac with 0.53 or 0.56 .

Thanks,

Brian.

Can you give an example when it shows up, when it shouldn't?

[blgentry]

I maintain a Playing Now that consists of whole albums, shuffled.  Usually around 100 songs and I remove them in groups as I listen to them.  I play this for several days at a time.  I store my current list in a Radio Button called "Was Playing".  I reload "was playing" frequently, as I play other lists in between.

Each time I reload "was playing" I get the dialog box saying "this contains duplicates...".  My "was playing" should never contain duplicates as it consists of whole albums and I do not add the same album twice.  I've also responded "yes" to the remove duplicates prompt and then saved it to the radio button again.  The message comes up again, even after allowing duplicates to be removed.

I've reverted back to 24.0.48 and it does not display this behavior.  I guess the feature did not exist in that version, so that's really no proof of anything.

If you need more detail, let me know and I'll try to provide it.  The above is from memory as I am not in front of my Mac right now.

thanks,

Brian.

Thanks blgentry.

I reproduced and it just turned out I missed a parenthesis.

Should be fixed next build.

[blgentry]

Yay!!

Thanks Matt.

Have a nice weekend guys.

Media Center 24.0.53 and .56 hang on exit for me.  Running High Sierra (10.13.6). 

On exit from the program, it hangs.  The menu bar remains and Activity Monitor continues to show Media Center (although with zero activity).  I do NOT run media server.  At this point, the program is not in a usable state.  If I leave it in that state, eventually it usually crashes.  Otherwise, I have to force quit to get rid of it.  At that point, I can restart the program.  Otherwise, the program appears to function correctly.

24.0.45 and earlier did not exhibit this problem.  For now, I've gone back to that version, and I've turned off autoupdate.

[jeffcdo]

I'm having the same issue as the post above, JRiver remaining in Activity Monitor after I quit the program. I'm also periodically getting crashes when I open the program. I'm running Mojave 10.14.

[Awesome Donkey]

Are you using Media Server? If so, that's why it's still running in the background.

[Iason]

I am NOT using Media Server.

[Awesome Donkey]

Odd, I can't reproduce it here on 10.14 Mojave. I know it's a longshot, but are you guys using any sort of antivirus/antimalware apps? Or any accessibility options?

[Iason]

I use Sophos.  I do not use accessibility options.

I tried turning off Sophos temporarily but no change in results.

[jeffcdo]

I'm not using Media Server, or any antivirus/anti-malware apps. I do have Media Center 24 listed under "Allow the apps below to control your computer" under Accessibility as most apps now under Mojave seem to require it.

[Makaos]

This versión Works with El Capitan?

Samething for me on a clean install of Mojave... last 2 versions won't quit of mediacenter, sometimes the window close but not the program, have to force quit

[RunHomeSlow]

Just change the link number up there of the download to 45...
replace mediacenter to 24.0.45, all working good now shutting it down the 3 ways (cmd q, red button, menu quit)

[JimH]

Or try this:

[RunHomeSlow]

if that was for me reply, it was already given access since beginning... last 2 JRiver are buggy for sure, not .45

Edit... just for quitting, all the rest is working as usual

If I use the Check Updates in MC it does not find MC 24.0.56. I says 24.0.53 is the latest version?

[Awesome Donkey]

Which update channel are you on? As I see it, there's two possibilities...

1) You're on the stable channel, and 24.0.56 would be in the latest channel, so checking for updates wouldn't 'see' 24.0.56 unless you switch to the latest channel.

2) If you're on the latest channel and it doesn't 'see' 24.0.56, then there's a chance that the devs haven't pushed 24.0.56 to the latest channel yet. If that's the case, you'd have to manually download and install it.

[Paul S.A. Renaud]

Thanks for the answer. I am on Latest Channel. I guess it is your 2 option, i.e. MC 24.0.56 has not been pushed to LC.

[LETRA]

If I use the Check Updates in MC it does not find MC 24.0.56. I says 24.0.53 is the latest version?

Same here.

[Paul S.A. Renaud]

MC 24.0.56 has been pushed to LC. Thx. I noticed a bug in the now playing tab displaying the album cover and the track info separated by a firm black line. When resizing the cover art with the mouse and thus pushing the track info down or up, the dividing line between track info and cover art dump to more than halfway the upper part of the screen and does not scale properly. This did not occur in MC 24.0.53.

[dfortney]

new version coming soon? been awhile
