Changed: Some internal changes like the handling of video analysis.

25.0.103 (9/23/2019)

1. NEW: Calls to the web service from a webpage bypass the web browser and are routed directly inside Media Center.  That way the calls work even with Media Network off.
2. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
3. Fixed: Editing a file path rule in the library customization dialog would not work.
4. Changed: Theater View will save when it's zoomed into a file so returning to Theater View will still be zoomed in.
5. NEW: Made the text on the status bar customizable for single file selections (right-click the toolbar and pick Set Text Rule...).
6. Changed: Double-clicking or Right-click > Configure Recording is no longer disabled for TV recording rules that are time-based one-time recordings (in Recording Rules view).
7. Fixed: The equalizer preamp was only working on the two front channels.
8. Changed: Saving an empty playlist as a Car Radio button would start playing the current playlist instead of messaging that there was nothing to play.
9. NEW: Added the PNPosition and PNCount variables to the expression used for status bar customization.
10. NEW: Reworked both the preamp and equalizer so they'll work on high channel counts (like 32 channels) instead of only on prescribed channels.
11. NEW: Made the MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_SUBTITLES MCC command take a -3 to browse for subtitles.
12. NEW: More TV properties of recording rules can be edited in Theater View, including subscription suspension, re-enabling canceled recording etc.
13. Fixed: "Subscription default - Search all fields for name" setting was not correctly applied when setting up TV recording subscription in Theater View.
14. Changed: "Subscription default - Search all fields for name" option on TV Options is renamed "Subscription default - Search all fields for name (i.e. search Description in addition to Name and Series fields)".
15. Fixed: Checkbox style fields were not working since the last update to fix tag window issues.

25.0.102 (9/16/2019)

3. Fixed: SACD playback was not working.
4. Changed: Play Doctor won't factor a file as a minus file if you double-click a new track.  It will only factor as a minus if you hit the next track button.
5. Fixed: Tried to fix the issue of the Action Window crashing when closing automatically for check for updates (couldn't reproduce, so only maybe).

25.0.101 (9/14/2019)

1. NEW: Television Recording Rules can be edited in Theater View through a menu.
2. Changed: For DLNA, the next track will be sent 30 seconds before the end of the current track to devices that support SetNextAVTransportURI. (increase of 6 seconds).
3. Fixed: Media Center could crash when checking for updates while the Action Window was not shown.

8. NEW: "XResolution" and "YResolution" from TIFF images will carry a unit (dpi or ppcm).
9. Fixed: Playlists added to Gizmo views as a library item would not sort properly.
10. Fixed: Cloudplay PlayDoctor button was not working.  This is the play button that would appear when you entered a genre into the Cloudplay search box.

12. NEW: An option "Jump amount when using mouse wheel to change playback position", to allow users to select how many seconds to jump when mouse wheel is turned (1 - 30 seconds).
13. NEW: When loading from an NFO file for a video, if <rating> or <ratings> tag is not found, <userrating> will be loaded for "Rating" field.
14. Changed: The check for updates Action Window only shows for five seconds if there's no update (so you don't have to close it).
15. Changed: Switched the API call used for Theater View sound playback to hopefully be more responsive.
16. Changed: Made mouse wheel scrolling in a menu always scroll at least one item even if the scroll reported by the system is small (previously it could be discarded).

22. Fixed: The Tempo & Pitch DSP could crash when fed more then 16 channel, instead it'll gracefully disable now until the limit can be raised.

24. Fixed: Loudness could produce a subtle tick when starting playback again.
25. Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+A after opening the tag window would not select all in the file list.

I found two issues that still exist in .104 and I'm not sure you saw my other post about it so I'll report it here:

GroupCount produces incorrect results when used in thumbnail text in standard view.

GroupSummary sometimes produces incorrect results for mathematical operations when used in thumbnail text in standard view.  GroupSummary(Rating) effectively returns Math(Int(GroupSummary(Rating))) which is often a different value and thus not correct.

Both GroupCount and GroupSummary work perfectly in Theater View.

Thanks!

[Matt]

GroupCount produces incorrect results when used in thumbnail text in standard view.

We weren't passing the array of files into the call.

Coming next build:
Fixed: We were not passing the array of files into the expression for thumbnails so things like GroupCount(...) were not working properly.

Thanks!

Thanks Matt.

Will that also fix the problem with GroupSummary producing truncated results?

I didn't test that one, so please give it a look once the new build ships and let us know.

For several of the last builds of JR using the current version of Windows 10, touching the "collapse" bar on the JR home page causes the app to quit. Not crash, just quit. Shouldn't it just collapse?

I can't duplicate this with IE or Chromium.

I'll split this to a new thread.

Selection: Show Files in Subfolders is not working

[J-a-k-e]

Having mute enabled under parametric eq appears to mute all channels regardless of the number of channels selected be that all or none.

Initially I thought this was a driver or hardware issue on my end as I normally route all my audio via jriver. The problem revealed itself as soon as I started playing around with the DSP studio analyzer.
