25.0.80 (7/19/2019)

1. NEW: Added an experimental 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital).  Feedback appreciated.
2. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
3. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.
4. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
5. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
6. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).
7. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.
8. Changed: Renamed the player menu choice to "Left Align Artwork" so it matches with the on and off wording.
9. Changed: Made toggling zones forward and back (Ctrl+T, etc.) go in the display order instead of the order created.
10. Changed: Made the center channel adjustment also enable for 2.1 playback.
11. NEW: Made the tooltip for the taskbar popup contain the artist and name of the playing track.
12. NEW: Added a "Reset To Stock" menu item to the VST "Load" button.  It will reset all the settings back to stock.
13. Fixed: The ~expand smartlist modifier would not import / export properly.
14. Fixed: Formatting big date spans with expressions did not always work properly.
15. Changed: Play Doctor will not error when starting playback with no search at all (only with a search that gives no matches).
16. NEW: Added a center level selection to the Output Format DSP page to be used when in two channel mode.
17. Changed: Made the MCWS UserInterface/Show treat anything that's not a known string as a tree path to select.
18. NEW: Added a "Play (shufffled)" button to the view header of a playlist.
19. Changed: Links no longer show if the field is empty.
20. NEW: The Q factor can be set for low and high pass filters in Parametric Equalizer.
21. Changed: Made the default search for the new Cloud Play option the same as the default Play Doctor search.
22. Changed: When starting Play Doctor with a search that has no matches in the library, it will message instead of playing random files.
23. Changed: When MC fails to read any 'mdat' atom from mp4/m4a/m4v/mov files using its regular method, usually due to bad 'free' atoms in the files, it will try scanning the files for such atoms.
24. Fixed: Not all playlists would show in the Tag Action Window after a recent optimization.

25.0.75 (7/9/2019)

1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.
2. Changed: If Media Center fails to start video playback, it will message about the audio but now add a string about adjusting the video delay.
3. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View was not playing sounds.
4. Changed: Made the Cloud play options page alphabetized in the Options list.
5. Fixed: Upload to a handheld would not always honor the path correctly.
6. Fixed: mp3 ID3v1 tags weren't being saved on Mac.

25.0.74 (7/8/2019)

1. Changed: When doing a movie lookup, the year will be stripped from the name if the movie is named like [Name] ([Year]).
2. Changed: M4A files will be marked as not HDCD if the compression is set to "MP4 AAC".
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
4. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
5. NEW: Added a "Play Doctor" options page and it allows setting rules for file playback.
6. Changed: The play button on a remote when playback is paused will unpause instead of looking for something new to play.
7. Fixed: The library authorization popup would hang if you right-clicked inside one of the edit boxes.
8. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.
9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
11. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified.  The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
13. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.

25.0.71 (6/28/2019)

1. Fixed: Tagging widows that did an auto-select and included a suggestion box could lose focus causing the backspace key to jump back in the UI instead of performing a backspace.
2. Changed: Made the Tag Action Window save and load the scroll position as you navigate (and select no files then select files again).
3. Changed: The blue light will illuminate when decoding HDCD (previously that would cause the light to disengage).
4. Changed: Renamed the option "Process HDCD" to to "Play as HDCD if possible".
5. Changed: Made passing a negative number into ListLimit will grab that many from the end of the list.
6. NEW: Added the smartlist rule ~linkexpand to expand the links in a smartlist.
7. Changed: Made the about box identify the program as 32-bit (it would already identify 64-bit).
8. Changed: Files are no longer marked as dirty when they get flagged as not HDCD so they will not tag because of it.
9. Changed: Made the ListLimit MCWS function take an optional third parameter for the index to start at.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. 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).
13. Changed: Searching for files then deleting all of them from Playing Now will reset the search.
14. NEW: Added the MCWS function ListLimit to cap the size of a list of items.
14. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.
15. 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).
16. 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).

25.0.65 (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.
6. Fixed: HDCD decoding would engage when the HDCD field was set to unknown (-1).
7. Changed: Added the options Audio > Advanced > Process HDCD to enable and disable HDCD procssing during playback.
8. Changed: Made the new lyrics lookup option also apply when turning on lyrics display.
9. Fixed: The "Add to Playing Now" toolbar button was not working properly.

25.0.62 (6/21/2019)

1. Fixed: Most of the lyrics lookups on Mac were failing because of improperly formatted URL's.
2. Changed: Made lyrics lookup at playback time if lyrics display is on optional.
3. Changed: When deleting a single audio file from the library, the program will list the name, artist, and album on the delete dialog.
4. 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.
5. Changed: Reenabled thumbnailing for Radio JRiver files.
6. NEW: Added the function MCWS/v1/Playlist/MoveFile to move a file in a playlist.
7. Changed: Made the thumbnail frames option a choice between on, off, and images frames off.
8. Fixed: In some linux window managers, there were issues with the tag window and suggestion windows getting and setting proper focus.
9. Fixed: In linux the right-click menu in video playback in display mode wouldn't stay enabled.
10. Fixed: Removed the Image option from playing now display view right-click that only ever worked on Windows and was no longer in use.
11. Changed: German translation updated (thanks ByteStar).
12. 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.
13. Changed: Made lyrics lookup an array instead of throwing a message that there was already a process running.
14. Changed: The audio analyzer will think a file needs analysis if the HDCD field is -1.
15. NEW: Panel - Added Cloudplay to Panel. Note: 'Playing to' in Panel cannot be set to 'Here' (the browser) for Cloudplay to work.
16. NEW: Panel - Added a button to the Settings page, in the Library tab, to run auto-import.
17. 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.

I installed the new 25.0.80 (MacOS Mojave 10.14.5) but while running I get a lot of crash notices (but JRiver does not actually crash). Moreover, when importing mkv files, there are (all of sudden) treated as data-files and not video. I have to change / re(tag) these files manually. JRiver also does not create sidecar xml-files for new imports anymore. What is wrong?

P.S. I downgraded to 25.0.50 to avoid all these issues.

Thanks for the report!
What are the codecs used in the .mkv files? (you can enable the "Compression" field in the list display mode to see the codecs).

mkv video (video: h264, audio: dts-hd ma). This is for last mkv-file. Is this what you mean?

P.S. Under MAC 25.0.50 everything works fine (also the new files).
