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 rendering devices that had paused playback and that pulled the entire track in one request.

25.0.91 (8/9/2019)

1. Changed: Typed navigation would scroll the list all the way to the left instead of just scrolling vertically.
2. Changed: Nested the Streaming Theater View items under "Radio" and "Stations".

25.0.90 (8/9/2019)

1. NEW: Made the import from iTunes library import the playlists as well (to an iTunes playlist group).
2. Changed: Made the import from iTunes library get ratings.
3. Fixed: Playback/PlayRadioJRiver would return a failure code when playing a Radio JRiver station (instead of success).
4. Changed: Made the "Streaming" Theater View item no longer load files until hitting enter (to play, etc.).
5. NEW: Streaming in Theater View also shows JRiver Cloudplay playlists.

25.0.89 (8/7/2019)

1. Fixed: Column sizing would not be consistent on high DPI.
2. Fixed: Media Center would not respond on TLS ports since 25.0.86.
3. Fixed: Showing Theater View from a minimized program state would not always work.
4. NEW: Added the ability to add "Streaming" to the root of Theater View with a display of Radio JRiver stations and Radio Paradise.
5. NEW: Added Television Advanced Option "Order File Delete confirmation options differently from non-TV media delete (permanent delete first) in Theater View".  Default to true (current behavior).
6. Fixed: Syncing with an empty filename rule would put the extension on the file twice.
7. Fixed: Saving an empty filename rule for a handheld would not save properly.
8. NEW: Added Television Guide Option "Center channel logos or names in Theater View guide" which can be set only if "Hide channel names in Theater View guide when channel logos are available" option is on.
9. Fixed: Calls to Handheld/Sync before the handheld engine loaded devices would not work properly.
10. Changed: MC will load <plot> field from NFO sidecar files into "Description" field so users will not need to create a custom field "plot".
11. NEW: Added the command "Import From iTunes Database..." to the File Menu to import from the XML file that iTunes can save the library as.  It will import all the files and make a playlist with them.
12. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.82.

25.0.88 (8/1/2019)

1. Fixed: The ideal height of the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog is calculated from a layout so should be better on high DPI.
2. Changed: Made column creation use the system scale for the width so columns should be wider on high DPI.
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
4. Fixed: Cloudplay via PlayDoctor wasn't working right when no local library matches were found.
5. NEW: Added a 'Play' button next to the Cloudplay search box when a search term is entered.  This triggers playback of a Play Doctor playlist using the search term.

25.0.87 (8/1/2019)

1. Changed: Made the playing now playlist show this text during Play Doctor creation: Building a playlist.  Might take a minute.
2. Fixed: Tooltips could be incorrectly sized.
3. NEW: The text drawing system will now accept <img> tokens and draw the image.  Please see: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,121636.0.html
4. Fixed: ATSC channel scanning could crash, if for some unknown reason MC failed to obtain needed interface pointer.

25.0.86 (7/30/2019)

1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Fixed: Panel - Cover art was not loading when playing certain streams, like Radio Paradise.
3. Changed: Improved XMLTV channel parsing so different xmltv files can be accommodated.  This should fix the EPG123 channel number issue.
3. Changed: The socket write timeout is set on a per-file served basis to the duration of the file + some padding.

25.0.85 (7/29/2019)

1. NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Reset window position settings to reset the placement of windows.
2. Changed: Made the default height of options taller.
3. Changed: The socket write timeout to prevent hung sockets introduced in 25.0.81 (30 seconds) was too small for devices that have large buffers resulting in stopped playback in the middle of a track. Set it to 300 seconds.

25.0.84 (7/29/2019)

1. Changed: Re-implemented TV channel to xmltv ID matching routine for DVB channels as well as OpenCABLE and STB channels.  The more elaborate methods hopefully will improve matching accuracy, especially for DVB channels.
2. NEW: Added the option to stop after a delay (for going to sleep).  Look at Player > More Stop.
3. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 surround channel in 2.1 or 3.1 output mode could result in some channel being lost, instead of being downmixed properly.
4. Changed: The WASAPI and DirectSound output plugins will try to preserve the channel layout selected in Output Format instead of only going by channel count.
5. Changed: When a TV channel is being watched on a client using a server tuner, and the user enters a new channel number using a remote control or keyboard, the client will request the server to serve the new channel.
6. Changed: Tuned the show and hide times for menus so they work better on some systems.
7. Changed: Panel - Added a sign out button to the Cloudplay page.
8. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.81.
9. Changed: Update RadioParadise cover art retreival URL
10. Fixed: XMLTV EPG loading did not handle 4-digit date (year-only date) correctly, resulting in empty date field.
11. Changed: DLNA: If we are controlling a zone check it's state on 5 second intervals even if it's not the current zone (was 20 secs).
12. Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)
13. NEW: DLNA: Added a controller option to ignore other controllers (for misbehaving renderers).
14. Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).
15. NEW: You can select a maximum play bitrate for Cloud Play files from the Play Doctor options menu (defaults to 1500Kbps).
16. Fixed: Customizing the columns of a parent view would reset the columns of a child view.

25.0.83 (7/24/2019)

1. Fixed: Media Center could crash when starting playback on older CPUs.

25.0.82 (7/24/2019)

1. NEW: The MCWS function to play JRiver Radio will accept "Try Me", "Eclectic", "Classical", "Jazz", and "Rock" as station names and play those stations.
2. Fixed: Dragging Direct Show DSP filters to a differt place in the list could crash.
3. NEW: A "Genre" filter in Standard view EPG, which takes effect if no text has been typed in the Search box.
4. Fixed: Last.fm was not working properly in all cases.
5. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.79.
6. Fixed: Viewing a handheld could crash.
7. Changed: Subclarity enables for 3.1 playback.

25.0.81 (7/22/2019)

1. NEW: Added a 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital).  Feedback appreciated.
2. NEW: Added File > Export All to iTunes & iPhone to export your entire library instead of just a single playlist.
3. 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.
4. Changed: When you said to keep five downloads, it would keep five then download a sixth.  Now it prunes to four before starting the download.
5. Changed: The mode selection page on TV Recording setup wizard is also put inside a scrolling container to ensure all controls can be seen.
6. 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.
7. NEW: Importing from iTunes brings the ratings, date last played (if it's newer than you played in MC), and the play count and skip count (if they're greater than MC).
8. NEW: Added "Series ID" and "Program ID" to the Standard View EPG tooltips.
9. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
10. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
11. Changed: The increments for the mouse wheel in Room Correction for the speaker distance are now 0.1 ft or 0.01 meters.
12. NEW: Added the option to "Enable pane tagging" to the panes to allow tagging and the checkboxes to be turned off.
13. NEW: Ctrl+Shift+V pasting will accept a series of strings on the clipboard (separated by newlines) and paste them into a single selected field.
14. Fixed: Uninstalling a DSP plugin could crash.

It's not often that we see no bug reports in the first 24 hours a build has been released.

I got one. From yesterday when my tracks changes, it ask for persmission on LastFM which i didn't modify something there. I got all the time a window where i have to give permission... Can you look on this thing?!

I saw a similar behavior. It seems that perhaps because of an API change at Last.fm, I needed to check my account and reset the password.
Then I deleted the connection to the account in MC and re-did the "Manage Last.fm account" MC to reconnect it. I had the extra step of verifying my email address because I hadn't used the account in a while. After that AND closing my browser scrobbling started working again.

@Bob
Fixed, thanks.

[Awesome Donkey]

Yeah, it's been happening to me too lately several times. I have to remove the previous authentication for JRiver and re-auth it twice to get it to stick.

MC crashed yesterday during a period of frequent switching between MC and Bubble playing to a DLNA device. I can send you the log and dump file if you'd like.

Edit: Forgot to mention I was using JRemote for Android to control MC.

That'd be great, thanks!
