This is a new build of JRiver Media Center 25.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download 32-bit build
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v25/latest/MediaCenter250070.exe (works on all systems)

Download 64-bit build
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v25/latest/MediaCenter250070-x64.exe (works on 64 bit systems only)

25.0.70 (6/27/2019)

1. NEW: Added an option during manual on-line EPG loading to fill empty "Channel Number" field with LCN value found in xmltv data.  Not applicable to ATSC channels.
2. Changed: Made the ListLimit MCWS function take an optional third parameter for the index to start at.
3. NEW: Added Options > Library & Folders > Analyze HDCD Files to flag the analyzer to look at the HDCD state.  It defaults to off so no analysis will be done unless you opt-in.

25.0.69 (6/26/2019)

1. Changed: When the program loads, it will go through files and mark lossy files as not HDCD and files that aren't 44100x16x2 as not HDCD.
2. Changed: Added a message when iTunes playlist import finishes with the number of playlists and directions about where to find them (or an error if no playlists were found).
3. Changed: When user clicks "Auto Match" button on EPG XMLTV ID match window, MC will try to use channel number match if channel name match fails.  This change affects STB, OpenCABLE, DVB channels.  This is useful when a user switches EPG source.
4. Changed: Searching for files then deleting all of them from Playing Now will reset the search.

25.0.68 (6/25/2019)

1. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.

25.0.67 (6/25/2019)

1. Changed: Made artist image lookup key into the fact that it's a music artist a little better (so playing bands with animal names, etc. will show better matches).
2. Fixed: Right-click play commands were not all working properly (may need to re-add the Add to Playing Now toolbar button to make it work).

25.0.66 (6/24/2019)

1. Changed: Tagging no longer runs on URLs or Radio Paradise files.
2. NEW: DLNA: HDCD info passed via JRiver specific DiDL to enable processing by a MC renderer.
3. Fixed: Files could get erroneously tagged during playback.
4. Fixed: Picking "Export Playlist..." from the view header menu would reset the selection.
5. Fixed: Encoder settings could get saved to the registry as the default profile and cause DLNA playback issues between L16 and WAV.

25.0.65 (6/24/2019)

1. Fixed: HDCD decoding would engage when the HDCD field was set to unknown (-1).
2. Changed: Added the options Audio > Advanced > Process HDCD to enable and disable HDCD procssing during playback.
3. Changed: Made the new lyrics lookup option also apply when turning on lyrics display.
4. Fixed: The "Add to Playing Now" toolbar button was not working properly.

25.0.64 (6/21/2019)

1. Changed: Made lyrics lookup at playback time if lyrics display is on optional.
2. Changed: Video files are no longer flagged for requiring analysis when HDCD data is not present.

25.0.63 (6/21/2019)

1. Changed: When deleting a single audio file from the library, the program will list the name, artist, and album on the delete dialog.
2. Fixed: The HDCD decoder could trigger when a match occured that changed nothing, but now it only triggers on files with matches that make changes.
3. Changed: Reenabled thumbnailing for Radio JRiver files.
4. NEW: Added the function MCWS/v1/Playlist/MoveFile to move a file in a playlist.
5. Changed: Made the thumbnail frames option a choice between on, off, and images frames off.

25.0.62 (6/20/2019)

1. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
2. Changed: Renamed the thumbnail option to "Draw frames on thumbnails" from "Draw frames on image thumbnails" and made it turn off all border drawing when disabled.
3. Changed: Made lyrics lookup an array instead of throwing a message that there was already a process running.
4. Changed: The audio analyzer will think a file needs analysis if the HDCD field is -1.
5. NEW: Panel - Added Cloudplay to Panel. Note: 'Playing to' in Panel cannot be set to 'Here' (the browser) for Cloudplay to work.
6. NEW: Panel - Added a button to the Settings page, in the Library tab, to run auto-import.
7. NEW: Panel - Added a button to the Playing Now page menu that will swap the slider between volume and playback if only one is displayed.
8. NEW: Panel - Added an option to clear the playing now list in the options menu on the playing now page.
9. Changed: Panel - Changed the Information tab title on the Settings page to Library.

25.0.61 (6/19/2019)

1. Fixed: Scrobbling a stream URL did not always work.
2. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
3. Fixed: ATSC channel scanning and OTA EPG scanning on latest Windows 10 updates did not work.

I bought MC25 when it was first released but now it doesn't show up. It's gone back to MC24 and i can't get 25 back without buying it again. What are my options?

Installing 25.0.70 resets all views to default, and deletes all custom views. Confirmed on 2 different systems.

Must restore a backup to recover views which then requires all thumbnails to be rebuilt and any changes made since the backup must be manually re-entered.

I think 25.0.70 should be withdrawn.

I can't reproduce that.  I have a bunch of custom views, just did an upgrade from an older build, and they're still there.

Opened MC up and it says "Saving tag changes (54321 remaining)". That's a bit scary. I don't know why and on what files it is writing. Assuming that it relates to HDCD change but this is not a good way to do this. I have no idea and no control on this according to UI. (Auto update installed new MC version so I couldn't see any release notes at time)

Analyze for HDCD seemed to be off..

It's going to set the HDCD field to 0 for lossy files.  It's a one time thing.

I could assume that because I have kind of followed the discussion but for new or not so experienced user it is very scary that program is out of blue starting to change thousands of files with no warning or information. "Did I do something?" "Did I accidentally mess up all the tags for example so that I had selected all files and F2 + enter..?"

I just ran Analyze Audio on 1478 files to do the HDCD analysis and after 273 tracks the program crashed with the following Windows error.  The files had previously had Analyze Audio run on them (before the HDCD changes) and only a very few (1 or 2 test cases) had the HDCD analysis done on them.  I did not see what tracks were being analyzed when MC crashed. The tracks are roughly 50/50 CD and high rez files. The high rez files had the HDCD tag set to 0. I did not have logging on.  This is on Windows 7.

EDIT: I re-ran the analysis and it ran fine this time. Will keep checking, but for now have to chalk this crash up as a gremlin.

A coming build will have this change:
Changed: Files are no longer marked as dirty when they get flagged as not HDCD so they will not tag because of it.

Thanks Matt. World isn't so scary anymore
