24.0.67 (12/4/2018)
1. Changed: Streamlined the code that finds network interfaces so that they are only used once upon start of the program instead of every time a socket is created.
2. Fixed: Some mp4 or m4a audio with AAC encoding could not be played with JRiver mp4 plug-in.
3. NEW: Tag-writing for MP4/m4a audio files will use Apple's extensible tagging format if the files already contain such tags.
4. Fixed: Locking and unlocking split views didn't properly save the lock between restarts of the program.
24.0.66 (11/30/2018)
1. NEW: Added the option to suppress the duplicate track warning in a playlist (Options > General > Advanced > Show duplicate file warnings for playlists).
2. Fixed: The seed parameter of the play doctor MCWS command would not load properly.
3. Changed: Made wait messages a little wider so they hold more text.
4. Fixed: Properly read the ALBUMARTIST tag from APEv2 tags in MPC files.
5. Changed: Made the MCWS call Library/List return the default library index.
6. Fixed: Playing certain WMA Lossless files could result in excessively slow buffering.
24.0.65 (11/27/2018)
1. Fixed: Editing Custom Website Entries in the Streaming section did not work.
2.
NEW: Media Center can now read video tags written in Apple Quicktime's extensible tagging format.
3. Changed: Adjusted the quality score of MetaCritic movie information lookup to reflect its cover art and information quality.
4. Changed: Made the MCC_PLAY_PLAYLIST command reset the search cache so running it on a random smartlist will get new information each instance.
5. NEW: Added a toolbar button to add selected files to Playing Now.
6. Fixed: Radio Paradise could play duplicates in some cases.
7. Changed: Made the Playing Now Overview lists no longer ignore the selection. Instead the selection will be used to populate the Tag Action Window and the like.

Updated FFmpeg to 4.1, used for file analysis and transcoding.

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.
7.
NEW: Extra Radio Paradise channel toolbuttons added.
8. Fixed: A occasional mismatch with Radio Paradise metadata for the current playing track.
24.0.63 (11/15/2018)
1. Fixed: DVB Subtitling was displayed only sporadically.
2.
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.).
3. 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.
4. Fixed: Internet Radio streams which use the DirectShow audio engine (Opus, for example) didn't work properly.
5. Fixed: Playing Ogg Vorbis Internet Radio streams did not work.
6.
NEW: Added the website MetaCritic to the online movie information lookup (
http://www.metacritic.com).
7. Changed: Brought
Rotten Tomatoes back to the online movie lookup.
24.0.62 (11/13/2018)
1. Fixed: DVB Subtitle stream was not connected if one switches from non-time-shifting mode to time-shifting mode (or recording mode),
2. Fixed: DVB Subtitle switch was not working with OSD menu.
3. Fixed: DVB TV in time-shifting mode did not get DVB Subtitle metadata as soon as they became available, causing the subtitle menu not to be populated for upto a minute.
4. Fixed: Theater View Background color did not work properly since 24.0.59.
5. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.39.
6. Changed: The memory playback model "Load decoded file into memory" no longer engages when playing a URL.
7. 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.
8.
NEW: Added a "Web Media" playlist that shows under the "Streaming" tree item and files from the Open URL dialog get added to it when added to the library.
9. Changed: German translation updated (
thanks ByteStar).
10. Fixed:
Open Weather Map configuration for Theater View was not working.
11.
NEW: Added an option to allow Live IPC playback (WDM/ASIO driver) to fully engage ZoneSwitch and switch the current active zone, so that remote control/volume media keys work with it, among other things.
12.
NEW: Pressing Ctrl+Q+Enter in a search box adds the files to Playing Now (Ctrl+Enter plays).
24.0.61 (11/2/2018)
1.
NEW: MC will import data from Sony modd sidecar files for videos uploaded from cameras/camcorders/phones using Sony's PlayMemories Home software.
2. Fixed: DVB Subtitles were not showing.
3. Fixed: Hardware accelerated video decoding did not work properly on some Blu-ray discs with BD-J menus.
4. Changed: Sony .moff and .modd sidecar files are moved/renamed with video and image files they are associated with when using "Rename, Move, & Copy" tool. Similarly the sidecar files are deleted when the media files are deleted.
5. Changed: Added a little logging to help diagnosing a TV recording problem on CableCARD tuners.
6. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.38.
7. Fixed: Folder import wouldn't remember typed folders in all cases.
8. Fixed: With repeat off, removing the last played file from the playlist wouldn't work with the setting to remove played tracks.
9. Changed: When renaming/moving audio files cover art files that are saved next to the audio files will be COPIED to the destination folder so the audio files will not lose cover art.
10. Fixed: When scanning Program Map Table in TV, some program numbers would end up being negative.
11. Fixed: Playing long audio files or very high sample rate/multi-channel audio files with memory playback could result in a crash.
12. Fixed: Reduced the startup delay on the WDM driver in cases when the audio pipe was still busy.
13. Fixed: DLNA: When we are trying to detect if another controller has taken over from us to stop our playback of a playlist, we weren't handling the case where a user seeks on a track during that playback.
14. Changed: DLNA: Don't post a WM_UPDATE_DLNA_PLAYBACK_STATE when receiving a transport event unless the state is actually changing. This can fix an issue where renderers that are very slow to respond to play state changes (>5 seconds) confuse logic to determine if we are the DLNA controller in charge (BubbleUPnP wrapping chromecast).
15. Fixed: ATSC Closed Captioning could not be activated using OSD command for playback of recorded ATSC shows.
16.
NEW: Live TV Closed Captioning or Subtitles can now be switched using OSD command.
17. Fixed: When in /mediaserver mode, a popup message box could occur when a playlist failed to start.
24.0.60 (10/26/2018)
1. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.37.
2. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
3. Changed: Radio Paradise will download more files when it reaches the end of the playlist.
4. NEW: Added the database expression DBLocation() to return the location of a file in the database.
5. Changed: Radio Paradise playback will message after playing 50 tracks about continuing (so you can't start playback and walk away permanently).
6. Fixed: The date first rated would get set when ripping a CD.
7. Fixed: Picking zones from the zone menu wouldn't work properly if there was a hidden zone.
8. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
24.0.59 (10/24/2018)
1. Changed: When viewing a playlist group, the files will be ordered according to the child playlists (instead of all lumped together). Just set the view to have no sorting and it will show the playlist order.
2. Changed: Made the default sorting for a playlist group no sorting so it just shows the child playlists in order.
3. Changed: Theater View uses ANGLE for rendering, with the Direct3D 11 or Direct3D 9 backends as available, to resolve various issues with OpenGL rendering.
4. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
5. Fixed: Curly braces were being removed from HTML code inside style tags.
6. Changed: Panel - Clicking on the current rating level will reset the rating to zero.
7. Fixed: Acquiring from a scanner could fail if the option "Skip file if already in library" was checked. Now scanner files have a filename with the date and time in them so they won't duplicate.
8. Changed: Tweaked the manual thumbnail creation process to try to recover performance after processing a lot of files. Testing on huge libraries appreciated!
9. Fixed: Removing played tracks from Playing Now didn't work nicely on the last track of the playlist.
24.0.58 (10/18/2018)
1. Changed: Fields can be marked as hidden in the Manage Library Fields dialog.
2. Fixed: Image playback would just keep playing the last file in the playlist instead of stopping.
3. Fixed: DVB Subtitle pin connection did not work in build 56.
4. Fixed: Saving a DSP preset after picking an equalizer preset would not save the preset.
5. Fixed: Importing MKVs with ordered chapters will use the default title's duration for the Media Center database.
6. Fixed: Bookmarks are cleared on playback stop if the position is close to the end, when the precise duration is known, in addition to checking on playback startup against the database duration.
7. Fixed: Pressing DELETE in Parametric Equalizer would delete the Playing Now behind the equalizer instead of effects from the list.
8. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
9. Fixed: WMA files could not be played on Library Server clients without direct file access.
10. Fixed: MC could deadlock when loading a large DLNA server library.
11. 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.
12. Changed: Some DLNA servers (like on the QNAP) don't properly provide the total number of files matched in a search, which limited us to seeing the first 1000 files in a library.
13. Fixed: madVR could still be taking over the Ctrl+S "Stop Playback" key binding in some cases, now it always sends to Media Center instead. If you want a keybinding to open the madVR settings, open its configuration and assign it to an unused combination.
14. NEW: Added the option "Advance to the next track when stopping after the current track" which defaults to true but allows you to turn it off.
15. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.36.
16. Fixed: Video Playback could stop after 10 minutes of playback in some cases if the "Stop after long pause" option was turned on.
