5. Changed: Media Center now uses TheMovieDB for TV Show metadata lookup, series/season posters and Theater View background art.

26.0.86 (5/27/2020)

1. Changed: The OSD doesn't display when playing an image, then jumping to full screen (before it would show the zoom level).

26.0.85 (5/27/2020)

1. Fixed: Starting an image playing and then jumping to Display View would not make the image fill the view.
2. Fixed: The subtitle engine would select the wrong sidecar subtitle files in some situations.
3. Changed: Disabled event notifications for other applications through global broadcast messages, since they can interfer with smooth operation of other applications.
4. Changed: Made exclusive the default for WASAPI again.
5. Changed: Standardized on ";" for the list delimiter instead of "; " for all the expressions.
6. Changed: Actors, producers, etc. from TheMovieDB are delimited with ";" instead of "; ".
7. Changed: Memory playback turns off when there's less than 256 MB of memory (previously it would still try to allocate that much).

9. Changed: Use higher quality resampling for DSD from PCM playback.
10. Changed: Enter in the search box of Options no longer closes.

26.0.84 (5/22/2020)

1. NEW: Added support for the image type webp.
2. Changed: Made the default for WASAPI exclusive off.
3. NEW: The Regex expression function takes a -2 mode that outputs all the captures as a semi-colon delimited list.

5. Fixed: Video conversion did not honor user's audio stream selection.

26.0.83 (5/20/2020)

1. NEW: Right-click on a tag value in the Tag window will offer the option to "Customize This Field..." which opens the library field dialog.

3. Fixed: Updated Google date lookup to use the newer page styles of Google.
4. Fixed: The missing file icon was not working.
5. Fixed: GroupCountQuery would not work in Theater View templates (now it uses the full set of library files instead of the files in the working set).
6. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
7. NEW: Television option to allow users to pick a specific TV rating system (if available) in XMLTV files.
8. NEW: Added the MCWS function Control/AnalyzeAudio that takes a tree path and analyzes the files.
9. NEW: Added the option to lock and unlock a playlist to the Tag window right-click.
10. Changed: Made album artist a default search field for new libraries.
11. Changed: Trying to drag the window from just to the right of the toolbar didn't work.
12. Changed: TV channels loaded from the DMS (DLNA) are cleared each time before the current list is loaded.

26.0.82 (5/15/2020)

1. Changed: Made analyze audio able to process 16 files at once.

5. Changed: Added an option for the Mini View close mode to Options > General > Behavior.
6. Changed: Changed country name "Macedonia (F.Y.R.O.M.)" to "North Macedonia".

Greatday to all, Yaobing, latest fw .87 did broke Sat>iP support.
Rolled back to .80 and again working.
The server is discovered (DLNA) by MC but not tuners are selectable.
Tried a second time, just to have the logfiles.
Yaobing i've mailed you both logfiles, to big to attach here and these have respective .80 and .87 so you can compare.
Thanks in advance for your research !

Something funky going on with ListMix() when using expressions and template placeholder contains characters like ","

ListMix(RemoveLeft([L1],4), 2, 1234This works;1234However, this doesn't)
ListMix(RemoveLeft([L1],4), 2, 1234This works;1234This/, doesn't either)

RemoveLeft(1234However/,this works,4)

Thanks Matt for this update.

My test results so far:

I tested the DSP Studio Load/Save issue and that is still not working correctly. Same issue as previously reported.

Regex-2 is not producing the intended results; I've posted about that in the Expressions thread.

GroupCountQuery now seems to work correctly in Theater View. I'll do more testing of this.

GroupSummaryQuery does not work correctly sometimes IF the field name has spaces in it.  GroupSummaryQuery(Album Artist,Duration) can be used, but GroupSummaryQuery(Artist - Composition,Duration) can not. [Artist - Composition] is a custom field. Another example, custom field [Artist-Album] can be used, but the identical field [Artist - Album] can not.

My personal favorite because it is so strange:
GroupSummaryQuery breaks (returns null) if the VALUE of the grouping field contains a letter with an umlaut (e.g. Tannhäuser).  So, GroupSummaryQuery(Composition, Duration) works correctly if [Composition]=Tannhauser but breaks if [Composition]=Tannhäuser    A double quote character " has the same effect.

The function currently delimits the fields in the first parameter with a dash to mean more fields.  I'll switch the next build to a semi-colon.

This history:
Changed: GroupSummaryQuery delimits a list of fields with semi-colons instead of dashes.

That was a tricky one.  When we search, we remove the accents.  Our search box does it automatically so even if you enter accents, they're gone when the search arrives.

But of course accent stripping wasn't part of the GroupSummaryQuery(...).

I'm going to try making our search engine look at both the accent version and the no accent version, instead of only the no accent version.  It won't change the speed because it only triggers the updated code if it finds an accent.

Thanks for adding MovieDB to replace TVDB.  Genre is working for movies but not TV shows.  Could you also add "GET /genre/tv/list" to the API call for TV shows?

I don't think you want all possible genres in every TV show, that would defeat the point :-)
Instead, I've added the genres from the proper call to the TV show import earlier today already.

Minor issue:

Before this release, whenever I assigned two genres to a track (separated by a ";"), MC used to automatically insert a space between the ";" and the second genre so it looked like this:

Genre= Country; Bluegrass

With this release, when I assign a second genre, there is no space inserted between the ";" and the second genre, nor is it possible to manually insert a space. So now it looks like this:

Genre= Country;Bluegrass (missing space, doesn't look as good  ;D).

Interestingly, if I look at tracks that were tagged prior to this release, the space is still present. But if I edit the second genre of these older tracks, the space is not inserted.

I made all the formatting everywhere not use spaces after a delimiter.  We talked about it in another thread and that was the popular opinion.

I'm having to adjust too!

Hi Matt,

That's fine.  As I said, it's really minor so I can live with it. :)

One question: What about the thousands of older tracks that I have with multiple genres that still have a space?  is there a possible impact because some tracks have a space and some don't?  I'm thinking about Smartlists that call for genres.

Thanks.

I don't think so.  When we parse we almost always accept the spaces.  Like I said, I'm adjusting to the change as well :)

Hi again Matt.

Just noticed that in the Genre field in the "Tag" window on the left side,  a space is still inserted between the ";" and the second genre. But the resulting entry in the Genre field has no space. So it seems to be just cosmetic...

Next build:
Fixed: Editing list fields in the tag window would delimit the list with "; " instead of just ";".

Did you see my post in the Expressions thread about Regex-2?  That needs some adjustment as well.

What about those of us who have custom expression fields that have the space after the ";" and want to maintain that? That is, how do I get the space back in there for new things I tag via Move/Copy Fields? No space not only looks ugly, but also, for those of us who are English teachers, is not mechanically correct!

Here's one of the expressions in the custom field I'm talking about, a field which lists different artists on classical recordings in defined orders:

Code: [Select]
=If(!IsEqual([Genre], Tagging, 1), [Album Artist (auto)], If(IsEmpty(ListBuild(1, ; , [Soloists], [Vocalist], [Conductor], [Orchestra], [Ensemble]), 0), [Album Artist (auto)], ListBuild(1, ; ,[Soloists],[Vocalist],[Ensemble],[Conductor],[Orchestra])))
I don't care what happens on the backend with expression language, but I don't want to see the kind of non-uniform thing on the attached image. So how can I change the expression/do a mass update of files so they look uniform (and ideally with the space: looks awful without)?

Tim, this expression will normalize a pre-existing list, [field], that contains a space after the semicolon:

Code: [Select]
ListCombine([field],,;,;)

Wer, thanks for that. However, what about an expression that normalizes having the space, as it used to be? I know I can get used to not having it, but I don't want to! Plus, as I said, I'm an English teacher, and it's wrong in terms of mechanical rules (it also makes it hard to read if there is a long list).

The new delimiter is a semicolon only, not a semicolon with a space, so the functions will not write a list the way you want going forward.  You will have to adjust. TVs are widescreen now too, instead of squarish.  Sorry.  Also, as an English teacher, you should recognize a semicolon delimited list, with or without a space, is not gramatically correct. This is data, not an English Language sentence. Deal with it.  The change that you think makes it harder to read actually makes it much easier to parse programmatically.

You can however DISPLAY things however you want by parsing a list using the ListItem() function and manipulating the contents for display, instead of just displaying the raw list.  This is a thread about bugs, so if you want help with that, please start a new thread elsewhere asking for help on how to use ListItem. You might perhaps first read about it here.

26.0.87 (65-bit) is definitely knocking my Naim Muso Qb off the network every few seconds. I thought the Naim's WiFi system was dying, so I switched it to wired, but that didn't help. Even when not using MC to play to the Naim (via DLNA), just having MC running was killing the Naim. After much troubleshooting I finally figured out that the Naim runs fine when MC is completely shut down. Reverting to 26.0.80 resolved the problem.

Edit: 64-bit, of course

Tim, this expression will normalize a pre-existing list, [field], that contains a space after the semicolon:

Just editing the field and entering =[field] will remove the spaces as well, as MC saves the field again using the new standard.

i.e. The [Artist] field is a List Type field, and often has multiple semi-colon delimited Artist. An example might be;

The Chemical Brothers; Chicken Lips; Bentley Rhythm Ace

Selecting the tracks you want to fix, editing the [Artist] field, and then entering;

=[Artist]

Will save the field as;

The Chemical Brothers;Chicken Lips;Bentley Rhythm Ace

Easier than using the ListCombine function.  ;)

Yaobing, could this be caused by the same 'issue' which killed the Sat>iP functionality over DLNA ?
As after replacing the .exe with a updated one from Yaobing .87 was again working for me.

PS i'm running as x64.

I have the same issue as DJLegba.

After upgrading to 26.0.87, the network port of my Marantz NA11S1 goes up and down. Replacing cables, switches etc. didn't solve it, so in the end I downgraded MC to 26.0.80 which fixed the problem.

Best,

Killing things on the network is a huge bug. Can you at least acknowledge that you know about it and you're working on a fix?

Unless there is an IP Address clash. i.e. Two devices with the same IP Address on a LAN will do that.

But updating MC shouldn't change the IP Address of the PC running MC, let alone set it to an IP Address that the Niam is using. I would check the IP Address each is using though, particularly if Static IP Addresses are being used.

Unless there is an IP Address clash. i.e. Two devices with the same IP Address on a LAN will do that.

But updating MC shouldn't change the IP Address of the PC running MC, let alone set it to an IP Address that the Niam is using. I would check the IP Address each is using though, particularly if Static IP Addresses are being used.

DHCP. The Naim has a reservation in the DHCP manager. There are no IP  address conflicts - that was the first thing I checked.

It's hard to imagine how MC (or any program)  could kill something on the network.

I'm not imagining it, and I doubt the others who said they've observed the same behaviour are imaging it.

I was surprised too. That's why I spent so much time trying to work with the Naim. I thought it was failing. This is 100% repeatable - run MC 26.0.87 and the Naim continually drops off the network, rejoins, drops off, etc until MC is shut down. Doesn't happen with 26.0.80.

I have the same issue as DJLegba.

After upgrading to 26.0.87, the network port of my Marantz NA11S1 goes up and down. Replacing cables, switches etc. didn't solve it, so in the end I downgraded MC to 26.0.80 which fixed the problem.

Best,

I have the same issue as streamerguy & DJLegba. After upgrading to 26.0.87. With JRiver just connected to the network (not playing anything) My Marantz NA11S1 takes a dive every 20 seconds and restarts. I rolled back to JRiver 26.0.80 and this solved the problem

Run Wireshark (or the equivalent) and sniff the traffic that's going in and out of the PC running MC.

DSP Studio and Playlists

Using v26.0.87  (Windows x64) and restored a saved Library.

1) DSP Studio/Equalizer...When loading saved settings, the Equalizer/slide settings do not change, but the saved settings appear to be executing as there is a clear change to the sound.  The slide controls visually remain in the position they were in before loading a different setting and the numeric db settings also remain visually unchanged.

2) Tracks with a sample rate of 352.8 crash Media Center.  I tested this with the Output Format set at 352,800 = unchanged, and set to 352,800 = 192,000. MC crashes with either setting.  Tested multiple tracks from multiple albums at this sample rate, all with the same result.  Tracks play fine on VLC and Audirvana.  Converting to 192,000, tracks play fine.  Almost all of the tracks I have at 352.8 are FLAC.  I have 2 albums at DSD64.  One plays, the other doesn't.  I have one album at DSD128, plays fine.

Regards,

Larry

You recently changed the way the delimiter is diosplayed in the artist field when having a list of artists in table view.

It used to be (e.g.) "Shirley Scott; Stanley Turrentine", it is "Shirley Scott;Stanley Turrentine" (no space after semicolon) now.

This makes the content of the artist field and the list of artists in the playing now area on top of the screen much harder to read. Can you please change this back to the way it used to be?

Or you can choose by yourself how it is displayed:
Right click over there and select "Customize Display"
On Title Textbox just change [Artist] to Replace([Artist],;,;/ )

Done!

Thank you, very helpful. Just tried this in Album View with a custom field Artist (List). Works nicely for diplay, but does not allow for editing. Would love to see an option that switches space / no space for display for any given field.

The way the system works now, I would have to change every view and would still be limited in funtionality. But still, thank you. The title checkbox looks fine now!

My pioneer N50A is doing the regular restart business when connected to the network with MC26.0.87 running, but MC plays to it without problem by usb connection when it is disconnected from the network. My Cambridge Audio CXNV2 is unaffected and works prefectly well regardless of 26.0.87 being on the network. So it would appear that this problem is specific to particular streamers. As JimH said, it doesn't seem likely that MC could do this but it is doing just that.

There's a fix coming for that.
