25.0.116 (11/8/2019)

1. Fixed: Hitting the caps-lock key would crash MC.
2. Changed: Detection of MediaKeys.

25.0.115 (11/5/2019)

1. Fixed: Change in OpenGL code fixes video playback.
2. Fixed: Settings files are properly saved on exit.
3. Changed: MC REQUIRES 10.9 or newer because of the changes for notarization.
4. Changed: A new libav will be downloaded on first run.

25.0.114 (10/25/2019)

1. NEW: MC is notarized for Catalina which should eliminate the warning on running (malicious software...). Please report results and regressions, many changes were required.
2. NEW: Built on Xcode 11 and Catalina. May not run on MacOS < 10.8. Feedback appreciated.
3. NEW: Added channels to Radio Paradise in Theater View (both streaming and adding Radio Paradise individually).
4. Fixed: Webservice calls to get a stack image could cause a crash if the folder was empty.
5. Fixed: Thumbnails in Theater View could be duplicated.
6. Changed: The disc count and HDCD tools are stopped at shutdown instead of blocking shutdown.
7. Fixed: Dragging and dropping list items in the Tag window did not flag the data as dirty so the change would be discarded.
8. Changed: If TreePath, Device, or Search is specified on the command line, the control and shift checks for filtering the media type will be disabled.
9. Fixed: Editing tags in a popup would not mark them as dirty so they would not be saved.
10. Fixed: The "Show Files In Subfolders" checkbox was not working.

25.0.108 (10/1/2019)

1. Fixed: Fix handling of video files (and probably others) that contain parenthesis in the filepath.
2. Fixed: SRT subtitles could appear multiple times in the menu.
3. Changed: Made the disc count algorithm count actual discs instead of take the max disc number.
4. NEW: Added support for a few new ID3V2 tags: "TROY", "TMED", "TSRC", "TSOT".  No built-in fields are added for these.  So one needs to create the following cutom fields: "Original Release Year", "Release Medium", "ISRC", and "Title Sort".  FLAC tags for these are also supported.  Some of these are also supported in mp4 files.
5. Changed: Made the maximum allowable size of a Podcast larger because we found real world Podcasts larger than our previous cap size.
6. Fixed: The maximum encode size wasn't being passed as an int64 so it could overflow on big files and cause encoding to fail.
7. Fixed: Doing "Paste All From Clipboard" on a list editor in the Tag window would not reliably save the data.
8. Fixed: Undid the "All channels" handling in the Parametric Equalizer volume and mute filters because it was causing all channels to be processed even if only selected ones were checked.
9. Fixed: We were not passing the array of files into the expression for thumbnails so things like GroupCount(...) were not working properly.
10. NEW: Added the ItemCount(...) expression to allow giving the count of all the files in the database with the same album, artist, album key, etc.
11. Changed: Made the DLNA servers dialog larger and made it sizable.
12. NEW: Made the program go through and update the 'Total Discs' for all the files in the library at startup (files not marked dirty, so shouldn't cause tagging).

25.0.104 (9/24/2019)

1. NEW: Calls to the web service from a webpage short-circuit the web browser and route 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. Fixed: The equalizer preamp was only working on the two front channels.
7. 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.
8. NEW: Added the PNPosition and PNCount variables to the expression used for status bar customization.
9. Changed: Reworked both the preamp and equalizer so they'll work on high channel counts (like 32 channels) instead of only on prescribed channels.
10. NEW: Made the MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_SUBTITLES MCC command take a -3 to browse for subtitles.
11. Fixed: Checkbox style fields were not working since the last update to fix tag window issues.
12. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
13. Fixed: SACD playback was not working.
14. 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.
15. Fixed: Tried to fix the issue of the Action Window crashing when closing automatically for check for updates (couldn't reproduce, so only maybe).

Please exactly what changed in media key detection?  Asking because i've written an apple script that 'fixed' it by opening system preferences -> keyboard and toggling the 'use F1... keys as standard keys' on and then off again immediately after launch so that it would capture them as media keys properly.  If this new version changes that behavior somehow I need to know exactly how to assure what i did still works or to remove it if you guys fixed it internally somehow.  don't want to risk the upgrade until I hear more about this since it not working correctly drives me mad.  I would rather stay on the previous version forever if this causes it to no longer work at all.

Here is the script I wrote to launch MC25 for me and fix the media keys every time...

tell application "Media Center 25" to activate

delay 1

tell application "System Preferences"
   reveal anchor "keyboardTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.keyboard"
end tell

tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
   repeat until exists tab group 1 of window 1
   end repeat
   click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
   delay 1
   click checkbox 1 of tab group 1 of window 1
end tell

quit application "System Preferences"

Thanks for the feedback. You should stay on .115 for now, it looks like this disabled the Media Keys completely in some cases. Working on a different fix.

What you found above seems useful for fixing the problem permanently in MC but I don't see that option in Catalina in System Preferences->Keyboard??

I have the wireless magic keyboard (second version without the batteries).  The thing you need to toggle on and off is the 'Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys' and the script I wrote just does that automatically a second after launch MC.  It works every time and MC is then able to capture the media keys properly.  I think it would be nice if MC did something like this internally whenever it launched so I wouldn't need to hit this script to launch it.  Here is the screenshot of the Keyboard prefs...

I've been having issues with the last two versions of JRiver crashing on initial open. I'm able to open it when I try for a second time. I've attached a log file.

What version of OSX are you running?

[dsdudzik]

JRemote crashes this version of JRiver on my Mac.

[Awesome Donkey]

JRemote on Android or iOS?

[dsdudzik]

IOS on my iPad

[jeffcdo]

What version of OSX are you running?

Catalina 10.15.1

[Paul S.A. Renaud]

Catalina 10.15.1

All my issues seem to be solved by 116, except for the ghosting of the top bar in the JRiver GUI in the "noir" skin. In the big black bar on top, if one moves the mouse over "buttons" like the play, etc., one white line or more appear and only disappear if the mouse is moved elsewhere. I assume that the intention was to highlight the choice by lighting a white line box around the choice (in additional to colour the button blue, which is still the case). The idea is very similar to the recent update in de amazon webpage with the black top bar. See attached screen shot. I use catalina 10.15.1 and JR 116.

[jeffcdo]

I'm also seeing the "ghosting"

Good day, after upgrading to 116 on a Mac mini running current Catalina OS, why I access Media Server from JRemote and my Cambridge Audio CXN Zone is selected, the Media centre crashes.  I repeated the test (12) times.  It also did this in 115, which pushed me to update to 116.

Interesting observation, when My Device (iPad mini) is selected, JRemote is seemingly not crashing the Media Server.

JRemote is current version (IOS).

Prior releases were rock solid.  Thanks.
