1. Changed: Updated package dependencies.
2. NEW: Support for FLAC-in-Ogg files and streams.
3. Changed: Room Correction DSP allows setting a distance of up to 100 ft instead of 50 ft (or meters if you're metric).
4. Fixed: Made Rotten Tomatoes movie lookup work for a few more titles.
5. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.40.
6. Fixed: Removing a column from the sorting in a list with no sorting (or external sorting) would crash.

8. Fixed: A occasional mismatch with Radio Parasdise metadata for the current playing track.
9. NEW: Added the MCC MCC_LIST_SEND_TO_PLAYING_NOW (26031) to add selected files to Playing Now using any of the modes available (play shuffled, add albums to end, etc.).
10. Fixed: The option to advance to the next track didn't work nicely when also picking stop after each item when it played the second to last track in the playlist.
11. Fixed: Playing Ogg Vorbis Internet Radio streams did not work.
12. NEW: Added the website MetaCritic to the online movie information lookup (http://www.metacritic.com).
13. Changed: Brought Rotten Tomatoes back to the online movie lookup.
14. Fixed: Theater View Background color did not work properly since 24.0.59.
15. Changed: The memory playback model "Load decoded file into memory" no longer engages when playing a URL.
16. Fixed: The option to "Advance to the next track when stopping after the current track" could loop to the second file in the playlist instead of the first after the last track.

24.0.61 (11/2/2018)

1. Fixed: MC could deadlock when loading a large DLNA server library.
2. NEW: Non-standard file associations for various DSD mimetypes added so that we can see those files from DLNA server libraries that are using those mimetypes.
3. Changed: Some DLNA servers (like on the QNAP) don't properly provide the total number of files matches in a search which limited us to seeing the first 1000 files in a library.
4. Changed: All other multi-platform applicable changes from the windows build.

24.0.55 (10/8/2018)

1. NEW: Buttons added for re-ordering a track in a playlist.

24.0.52 (9/20/2018)

1. Changed: Only the 64 bit version uses Chromium now, the i386 and arm builds use webkit libraries from the users OS.
2. Changes from the main build.

24.0.46 (8/10/2018)

1. Fixed: Crash under some DM's (Cinnamon, perhaps others) when the file select dialog is closed.
2. Fixed: MC would leave around some files in /run/shm which could cause unexplained behavior and crashes when they accumulated and the process numbers recycled and MC reused them.
3. Fixed: Changes to make the running of the Chromium browser more stable.
4. Fixed: The wavepack plugin was missing from some builds which resulted in unexplained crashes.
5. Changed: Added the libnss3 dependency and removed the webkit dependency for the Chromium builds.

24.0.45 (7/27/2018)

1. NEW: The web browser uses chromium now (except for ARM). A chromium plugin is downloaded and installed on first run (MC will take a while to come up depending on your connection speed, it's 45 megs to DL).

24.0.42 (7/10/2018)

1. Changed: Improved internal web browser operation.

24.0.39 (6/29/2018)

1. Changes from the main branch mainly dealing with JRiver Radio.

24.0.37 (6/26/2018)

1. NEW: Linux implement key release handling. Detect whether a key is being held down (key repeat).
2. Fixed: Crash on right-click release in some context menus.
3. Fixed: A key sending function in MC was sending 2 keypresses instead of a press/release.

24.0.36 (6/22/2018)

1. Fixed: In some cases, converting an audio file would leave the file type set to the old file's type.
2. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View could use more CPU then expected since 24.0.34.
3. Fixed: SRT subtitles with non-breaking spaces did not render properly.
4. Changed: DLNA, change SetNext controller option disabling so that device errors don't disable SetNext only disable it if the renderer reports that it's not implemented.
5. Changed: DLNA. Want to make sure that if a resubscribe fails we clear and do a subscribe. Have seen http error codes of 412 on resubscribe.
6. Changed: DLNA, Add a code that will do a manual transport state update if we look frozen at the end of a track (missed an event..)
7. Changed: Radio JRiver playlists will end after playing for two hours without any Media Center user interaction.

24.0.35 (6/15/2018)

1. Fixed: Licensing on i386/amd64 builds. Hopefully for the last time, will require re-entering your registration code.

24.0.34 (6/12/2018)

1. Fixed: A couple of memory leaks in ALSA and in the Windowing code.
2. Changed: Removed the Register function from the desktop entry because it was preventing mime type associations from working.

Hi
all links are 404

[Awesome Donkey]

Confirmed, all three links give off errors.

[Hendrik]

I've put the files in the correct places.

Can confirm this too.

[bob]

Can confirm this too.

Just the X64 build I suppose?

[Awesome Donkey]

ARM too, can confirm it on the Raspberry Pi.

[bob]

ARM too, can confirm it on the Raspberry Pi.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

[bob]

Arm isn't quite there yet. I'll mod this message when it is...

It's there now.

[bob]

One last fix. Now 24.0.64-3

[realysm42]

Guys, is this Linux version of 24 64bit?

[Awesome Donkey]

The MediaCenter-24.0.64-3.deb file (or as it's known, i386) is for 32-bit Linux. The MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb file (or as it's known, AMD64) is for 64-bit Linux.

MediaCenter-24.0.64-3-amd64.deb is what you want for 64-bit Linux.

[realysm42]

Thanks Donkey.

An update from the Thecus/Sony front: DSD files now playing just fine.
Thanks for this fix!
