25.0.96 (8/27/2019)

1. NEW: Added the option to show the spectrum analyzers in the player independently for the left and right channels.
2. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
3. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
4. Changed: Made the "Library Views" view header for a library view always show (instead of only when the tree is hidden).
5. Changed: Changed how video conversion fix (in previous build) is done so that it more closely preserves the original video without having to drop many video frames.
6. Changed: Panel - If accessing the Cloudplay page when playing to the browser, the user will be redirected to the home page with a message.
7. Changed: Panel - On the Cloudplay page, only one list can be expanded at a time. Expanding a new list will collapse the previous list.
8. NEW: Added the pane option "Filter panes based on selection" to allow turning off filtering of other panes based on the selection in panes.
9. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.92.  Improves compression of four channel files.  (Thanks Matt)
10. Changed: Slovenian translation updated (thanks Lorem Ipsum).
11. Changed: Files of the type m4b are no longer renamed to mp4 for internal use.
12. Fixed: Compressed dff files (DTS) were returning the wrong block length which resulted in files that were too short in duration during transcoding.

25.0.95 (8/23/2019)

1. NEW: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.89.  Adds support for more than two channel files.
2. Fixed: Import could crash because the new bitrate code didn't handle files without a duration.
3. NEW: Added an MCC to show the playerbar in Display View (code: 22038).  The parameter (optional) is how long to show for.
4. Changed: Reworked how Play Doctor searches online for files so that it uses the original search instead of a processed copy (that might not mean the same thing).
5. Fixed: When converting a poor quality video, such as TV recordings with signal issues, audio and video could be out of synchroniztion.
6. Changed: Panel - The hardcoded buttons on the home page were rendering in a separate row.
7. NEW: Panel - Added lists for latest and popular Cloudplay playlists to the Cloudplay page.
8. Changed: Panel - The volume slider will display the current volume level when actively using it or when hovering over it.
9. Changed: Panel - When actively using the main thumbnail page slider, the display showing the letter selected will be in the center of the page.
10. Changed: Panel - Cloudplay favorites and all playlists are sorted alphabetically.
11. NEW: Added an MCC to set the player text between standard and alternative (code: 22039).  The parameter is the state (-1 toggles).
12. Changed: Reworked how duplicates are managed for Cloud Play so files that aren't going to be played won't be trimmed.
13. Fixed: MIDI audio with file extensions ".rmi" and ".rmid" could not be played if playback type was "Automatic".

25.0.94 (8/20/2019)

1. Fixed: Mp4 videos were imported as audio.
2. Changed: Panel - The Playlists button on the Cloudplay page now shows as loading until it receives the list of Cloudplay playlists.
3. Changed: DLNA: change the SetNextAVTransportURI timing from track end - 18 to track end - 24 to help with slow renderers.
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.
3. Fixed: A possible crash saving options (if one of the features was off).
4. Changed: When right-clicking a file if there are no zones, it will say it in the menu instead of n/a.
5. Changed: Panel - Improved the performance when browsing categories.
6. NEW: Panel - Added last action to the top of the file context menu.
7. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists section will render much faster.
8. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists button will show up after the list of playlists has finished loading.
9. Fixed: Panel - The Cloudplay token could become invalid, but Panel would still think it was valid.
10. Changed: Panel - Removed the sign out button from the Cloudplay page now that the issue with invalid tokens is fixed.
11. Changed: Panel - The additional playback controls menu will now hide after making a selection.
12. Fixed: Panel - Clearing the playing now list when it was empty would cause a crash.
13. Fixed: Panel - The playback state would sometimes get set incorrectly when playing to a zone other than the browser.

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.

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).

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.

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.

At a loss to find documentation on the newest feature "show the spectrum analyzers in the player independently for the left and right channels", so how do I set this?

This version has an issue where BubbleUPnP can't see the MC DLNA Server. It is fixed in later versions.

MC crashes when one file is playing and I use the context menu to add a file to play next. Also crashes, if one file is playing and I attempt to play another file without stopping the first file.

Adding a Playlist Group in custom Gizmo views does not maintain the correct track order when browsing sub-playlists.  This is the case for both standard and smart playlists.  The order presented seems to be alphabetical by Artist name.

Try rebooting.

Saw a weird behavior in 25.0.96 that certainly looks buggish, after playing around with the new Panes options.

After toggling the "lock view" checkbox, I lose the ability to right click on the header row of the panes. (no menu comes up with add category to the left, etc).  This inability to right-click on the panes header persists if you afterwards check or uncheck the "lock view" checkbox, and persists across MC restarts and PC reboots.

Right clicking on the view name in the tree still presents its menu and option to customize view, which works.

Hello, just upgraded from MC 21 to 25.  Unfortunately, many (1900 files aprox) cue files were not recognized and therefore the album showing as one long song with no tags (i.e. empty fields: artist, album, etc), I can split the FLAC file using the CUE TOOLS applications (another windows app), but this would an endless task and I see no reason.  any idea how to fix?

thanks.

Thanks. It worked. Usually a right-click is the first thing I try; missed it this time.
