26.0.18 (1/14/2020)

1. Changed: Internal changes.

26.0.17 (1/13/2020)

1. NEW: During iTunes library import, the full path of a playlist will be imported instead of only the name.
2. Fixed: Updating the file playback range could lead to a crash in some cases.
3. Fixed: Decoding of ALAC in M4A could result in artifacts in some files.
4. Changed: In Standard view EPG list will delay updating when EPG loading is running in the background.
5. Changed: Switched the no files double-click message from play all files to play audio files in Playing Now (so things like notes don't get played).
6. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to 4.2, used for file analysis and transcoding.
7. Fixed: The MCWS JSON file list would return an empty file entry instead of an entirely empty list if no files were found.
8. Changed: Added a parameter to the MCWS Browse/Image call to avoid delivering the default placeholder images, allowing a client to gracefully substitute its own.
9. Changed: Updated our User Agent again to resolve issues with Podcast downloads.
10. Changed: Updated the Norwegian translation (thanks Øistein Rian).
11. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).

26.0.16 (1/9/2020)

1. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
2. Changed: JRiver TV recording file type "jtv" will be among default file types for importing and for file association.
3. Fixed: Setting the tempo with MCWS didn't always take effect right away.
4. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.12.
5. Changed: In Standard view, TV recording button is made available even if the EPG is completely empty, so that one can still record a show by specifying channel and time, without program info.
6. Changed: Revised the image date code to hopefully load the date more reliably from images.
7. Changed: When MCC_HANDHELD_UPLOAD arrives, it will first recheck the sync (otherwise it would just sync nothing after changes).
8. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
9. NEW: You can select the country of Italy from the Amazon store menu at the top right.
10. Fixed: Television code could crash in rare cases.

26.0.15 (12/18/2019)

1. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
2. Changed: The menu placement of the main program scales with the size of the program so at a larger size it gets shifted (should fix Blue Steel problems).
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.11.
4. Changed: Changed how critical errors from TV tuners are handled so we will not mess up reference counting of the tuners.
5. Changed: We reset a TV tuner from error state to normal state in 3 minutes, instead of 30 minutes, so the tuner can be used again sooner if it is usable.
6. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks Stéphane).
7. Fixed: Picking thumbnails and hitting the play button to play them would not always work properly after a recent change.
8. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

26.0.14 (12/16/2019)

1. Fixed: Media Center could not ask for permission when running tasks which needed administrator rights (installing plugins, registering controls, etc).
2. Fixed: Stability issues in 26.0.13 due to internal changes.
3. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
4. Changed: Updated the Hungarian translation (thanks pimpolo).

26.0.13 (12/13/2019)

1. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
2. Changed: Removed a piece of experimental code from PSI Parser filter in TV.
3. Changed: Updated the "New / Improved This Version..." link to point to version 26.

26.0.12 (12/12/2019)

1. NEW: Made it possible to specify the bitrate of an external encoder instead of it always using 1440.
2. Changed: PSI parser in TV engine will check CRC of a PAT section before flushing existing data.

26.0.11 (12/11/2019)

1. Changed: More improvements in Theater View TV guide navigation, especially when a long program is on a channel at the top or bottom of the list and navigation rolls over from bottom to top or vice versa.
2. Changed: A few threading changes that could improve stability.

26.0.10 (12/10/2019)

1. Changed: Added some protection against possible crashes in TV.
2. NEW: Added a way to rate playlists from Standard View.
3. Fixed: Panel - When playing a file the play command could get sent to multiple zones.
4. Changed: More improvements in Theater View TV guide navigation.
5. Fixed: The WDM driver could not be installed on a 64-bit OS when using a 32-bit MC installed in a path with parentheses in it.

26.0.9 (12/4/2019)

1. NEW: Added an IsUpperCase expression.
2. Changed: The option to "Move all non-imported files in folder with selected media files" only runs if the file is imported (so it won't engage on files from the Explorer view, etc.).
3. Changed: Improved Theater View TV Guide navigation, especially with Page Up/Page Down keys.
4. Changed: Added a JSON export to MCWS File functions (eg. Browse/Files, Playlist/Files, etc).
5. NEW: Composer views will use a Composers folder for cover art and look there (instead of the artist, etc. views).
6. NEW: Added a Cover Art lookup from Google for composer images.
7. Fixed: A corrupt FLAC files could hang the program.
8. NEW: Made a new Theater View option "Show Showtime rule..." to specify a search to not show the Showtime! item (so it doesn't have to show for television programs, for example).
9. NEW: Allow any multi-channel file to be uploaded to Cloudplay.  We used to allow two channel only.
10. Changed: Renamed Showtime! to Showtime and made it off by default.
11. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.08.
12. Changed: Added the media subtype of "Extras".

Is it just me or has the seek function with a music track gone AWOL? Neither JRemote nor the player itself is any good..

[Awesome Donkey]

No issues here with seeking in music.

[phusis]

Running a DLNA set-up controlling playback via my laptop, and opening JRiver MC26 on my core Media Server, minutes into a music track, it looks like this:

[JimH]

Can you test with FLAC or some other lossless format?  You're showing WAV files there.

I'll move this to a new thread.

The same thing, makes no different with FLAC files. When I stop the track however, either from my laptop or on the core media server, the text reverts to normal..

The display text on my laptop's presentation of JRiver looks normal (i.e. it doesn't say "Media Center, 0:00 / live  1 of 1"), both while playing or stopped, but the strange thing is when I move the cursor further ahead in the track to make it skip ahead it just keeps playing from where I started it. And that's from MC on the laptop; on the media server it constantly looks like the first image I posted. Oh, and I can only play one track - it won't automatically continue on to the next track.

MC26.exe /start min

Has not been working with v26 every time. 

I just installed 26...18 and it did not work 3 times in a row.

MC26.exe /start min

I just installed 26...18 and it did not work 3 times in a row.

The command is /StartMin or /StartMax (no space).

26.0.18 update required me to re-register my license.
Got the prompt that my "trial" would expire in 30 days after the update.

Anyone else have this issue? Happened on all three of my installs FWIW.

[Awesome Donkey]

It's intended due to a change in licensing, according to Jim.

Date of jpg images is set to 0 instead of date taken. Reverting to 26.0.14 fixes problem.

Could you send one of the jpeg files to matt at jriver?  Thanks.

[Striker]

The command is /StartMin or /StartMax (no space).

Matt my mistake... my start up script calls /StartMin correctly, but my testing I just described did not...   However, /startMin does work not every time... and sometimes even when MC is started minimized... it's blinking orange on the task bar.

Hi!  I'm probably the only one that still rips cd's. 

The CD RIP doesn't appear to work correctly.  It will freeze the application on several attempts.  I did get it to work, but the details field will not populate.  Also, what setting do I need to get the music to burn in the order I want it?  When I RIP a CD it places the music randomly on the cd.  Thanks! -Greg

[JimH]

I'll move this to a new thread.  The ripping feature in MC is still working.  Maybe an antivirus problem?

[Greg6510]

Not sure about antivirus.  It used to work just fine.  I'm getting a failure to create an image file error.  Now it just initializing for the past 20 mins or so.  I thought it was the media, but I've tried several brands with no luck. 

Update:  I got it to work with a small number of files.  I suspect it's in the conversion process. 

[~OHM~]

Also, what setting do I need to get the music to burn in the order I want it?  When I RIP a CD it places the music randomly on the cd.  Thanks! -Greg

put your tracks in a playlist in the order you want, then drag that playlist to the burner application in MC

[darichman]

Date of jpg images is set to 0 instead of date taken. Reverting to 26.0.14 fixes problem.

I'm seeing this too - have sent an image and log files to Matt.

[hacky4real]

Trailer playback no longer works in MC 25 and MC 26.

Just applied this update on both my Win10 machines and apparently it didn't recognize that I had already registered my V26 and on both machines made me use "restore" for my v26 key. That should not have happened as I had already paid and had already installed V26 on both machines.... Y'all need to check and see why that happened to me and if it happens to anyone else. No bueno.
