[Build pulled by JimH]

25.0.125 (12/3/2019)

1. Fixed: Some edit controls could crash MC (for example the soloist tag window).

25.0.124 (12/2/2019)

1. Fixed: Raw image files would crash MC when it scanned for importing (usually on every start unless auto-import was disabled).
2. Fixed: Timers were broken for some situations, for example on import action window status.

25.0.123 (11/18/2019)

1. Fixed: Under heavy use, the tagging window was sticking and required force quitting MC.

25.0.122 (11/18/2019)

1. Fixed: JRWorker for importing video.

25.0.121 (11/15/2019)

1. Fixed: Video was broken in 25.0.119 for Mojave and Catalina.

25.0.119 (11/14/2019)

1. Changed: Reverted to Xcode 10.1 and SDK 10.13 to fix some crashes.
2. Changed: Re-enabled MediaKeys which work with the 10.13 SDK without crashing on Caps-lock.

25.0.118 (11/12/2019)

1. Fixed: (Hopefully) more crash on start fixes.
2. Changed: Updated remotes support.

25.0.117 (11/11/2019)

1. Changed: MediaKey support temporarily disabled while solving the caps-lock crash issue.
2. Fixed: Some crashes caused by changes in Xcode 11, for example while accessing a zone from JRemote.

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).

Getting constant crashes.  First started while trying to edit a View, such as changing from Panes to Categories or Filtering the File type.  Now crashes a 10 seconds after launch, preventing the program from being used at all.  I cannot even keep it open long enough to restore a library backup.

[Awesome Donkey]

Yeah, both 25.0.124 and 25.0.125 are crashing constantly for me as well. Going back to 25.0.123 works fine though.

[JimH]

Can we get a crash dump, please?

[dfortney]

Been working fine for me but this morning i hit play and it just sat with the track time at 1 second and never actually played it.  Restart and it played the same track fine.

[normd]

included on my post.  Let me know if you need anything more.  Installed .123 and still crashed. Manually restored my library backup and .123 is working fine again. I added a bunch of new files and .123 crashes consistently.  Restored the library manually again and it is stable, but I am afraid of adding any od those files - one of them is causing a problem.

[musicbox4]

Still get a message that something has gone wrong with playback whenever I try to play a video file. Back to .123 again.

[telf]

Every time I try to import, I get the spinning wheel of death and need to force quit. Using ver.123

[Awesome Donkey]

If it's crashing on import, you might have bad files which are causing it to crash.

[bob]

The crash attached above is in the MP4 plugin (audio).

It probably is a bad file. It would be nice to see it at any rate. You might try turning on logging and combining the log with the crash could lead to finding the suspect file.

I have 10000 files or so in my library, a mix of ALAC and lossy m4a's from Apple and I can re-import the entire thing without issue so I don't think it's a generic issue with the MP4 plugin.

[TJoerg]

MC is crashing after some seconds :-/
Where can I find the download-link?

What version?
Can you attach a crash dump and Log please?

[TJoerg]

Here is the crash report. Sorry I don't know what "log" means...

That's 25.0.114 and is crashing on a raw image file.
You should try 25.0.124.

[TJoerg]

Thanks! Now it's not crashing anymore
But how does it come that I have such an old built? is .124 still BETA? Otherwise I always allow MC to install newest updates.
Should I delete these .RAW-file? I really don't know how it found its way to my music-library :-/
Thanks in advance!

There are still issues with combinations of different combinations of MacOS and MC which are still being sorted out (caused by changes needed to support Catalina) so the build hasn't been prompted yet.

I bought this program two weeks ago and still cant even open it. I tried an earlier version and now it tells me I have the wrong license for that version. This is super frustrating. I am running Catalina on a 2013 MacBook Pro.

Please try build 25.0.113 from the top message in this forum.
Note carefully the first post in that thread.

[Sangie]

so 24.0.123 crashes for me when tagging and this new build says it fixes it but it isn't available.

When will Mac users have a working build?

[TJoerg]

Hi,

Mac OS opens a window what to do with empty disk/CD-Rom but in MC Option "burn CD/Disk" doesn't show.
What can I do?

[Awesome Donkey]

Just be patient guys, working around issues in Xcode and macOS is not an easy task (and yes, the crashes are either from Xcode and/or from macOS itself with the notarization requirements in Catalina). Let Bob work his magic and hopefully he'll get the crashes dealt with.

[HaWi]

Fingers crossed, I am not having too many issues with .125. The occasional crash (no long term damage) but that was the case with almost very build I had so far. Some freezing, too, but they usually resolve if I am patient enough. I'd  be happy to provide data if that would help.
cheers,
Hans

[WKL]

same for me! getting frustrated... I have already gotten my MC26 key... not sure I am going to continue like this...

Pls share the crash reports here.

To their credit, the JRiver team is quite good at spinning new builds to improve stability using our logs.

.125 is doing very well for me now. Kudos to them!

Cheers,
WKL
