4. Changed: Cloudplay now does a better job of handling the 'back' button when returning from other Media Center views. It's better (not perfect) at preserving the last view.

25.0.93 (8/19/2019)

1. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.84.
2. Changed: Made the MCWS call UserInterface/GetStreaming return an error if the streaming feature is off.

25.0.92 (8/13/2019)

1. Fixed: The socket write timeout that was being set to the duration of a track from 25.0.86 has been removed (default is now 86400 secs) because it was causing issues with rending devices that had paused playback and that pulled the entire track in one request.

Playing SACD ISO returns an error/playback problem; something went wrong with playback.

Just updated to version .101 and it is unusable.  It said it didn't shut down properly the last time and any command i.e  'clear playing now' makes it crash.  Running windows 10 pre-release version 18980 64 bit.  Had to uninstall and go back to last stable release of version 25.  Restarted my computer and no change. Running version ,98 and works fine.

Try installing again. Try setting up Windows Defender.  This build has been good so far.

2. Changed: For DLNA, the next track will be sent 30 seconds before the end of the current track to devices that support SetNextAVTransportURI.

If the current track is less than 30s long, what happens? Is SetNextAVTransportURI called at the start of the track, or is it skipped?

[DougHamm]

Hi all -- this build crashes for me within 5 seconds of opening, even if I don't touch anything.   

[Matt]

Make sure you're on 101.  If you are, could you share a crash log?  Thanks.

[hifigigster]

Same here, closes down a few seconds after opening.

[JimH]

Turn off check for updates.
Open the Action Window.

[hifigigster]

Ok, done thank you. Remaining open now.

The Podcast-Button-Bug is still there in build .101 ... see here:

Hi Matt,

Direct SACD ISO playback ceased to function on two of my systems running either build 100 or build 101. I've reverted to build 98.

Where do you turn off "check for updates" - 101 crashes in 5 seconds, I don't have time to find anything...

If turning off the auto-updater fixes it for some folks, there must still be some bugginess in there. Mine were crashing under 100 but have been fine on 101, but I suppose YMMV. In any case, roll back to v98. Then you can disable the auto-updater and decide whether to wait another version or just re-up to 101.

I think this is it:

That was it mate - had to be quick on the draw though.

Thanks!

Could anyone still seeing a crash on 101 provide a crash dump?  We're not sure what might be crashing anymore.

Here's instructions:

Oddly, I reinstalled 101 after downgrading and now it's not crashing!  If it does I'll submit a log.
