26.0.91 (6/9/2020)

1. Fixed: Media Center only sends sidecar subtitles for the current file to the client, instead of all found in the current directory tree.
2. Fixed: ListGrep was not honoring the mode switch for case sensitivity.
3. Fixed: The example for ListFind had the wrong function name.
4. Fixed: The number function did not pull negative numbers.
5. NEW: Added a ListRemove expression.
6. Changed: Reverted the change to separate the statusbar text.  It's all in the center again.
7. NEW: Added modes 3 (remove empty strings) and 4 (trim strings) to the ListClean(...) expression function.
8. Fixed: Right-click the Tag window "Customize This Field" would not scroll to the new field if the display name was different than the name.
9. NEW: The author field is filled from OPF sidecars.
10. Fixed: List fields with multiple values did not work properly with the GroupCountQuery function.
11. NEW: Added OPF file tagging for e-books (requires data be on for the sidecar setting).
12. Fixed: The number function searches for actual numbers after a dot so something like (. 1) won't get read as just a dot.
13. Fixed: Loading DSP presets would have the current equalizer settings overwrite the new preset settings.
14. Fixed: The on / off state of plugins would not refresh right away when loading a DSP preset.
15. Fixed: When changing Audio Program using right-click menu for live TV playback, the new audio type and language were not properly configured.
16. Changed: When renaming files, a message will be shown if there are collisions telling that the files will be renamed.  You can continue or cancel.
17. Fixed: FLAC streams without a content length did not play.
18. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

26.0.90 (6/5/2020)

1. Fixed: Commas in the ListMix(...) function would not get handled properly.

26.0.89 (6/5/2020)

1. Fixed: Editing list fields in the tag window would delimit the list with "; " instead of just ";".
2. NEW: Sidecars for epub books will look for any OPF in the same folder instead of only the same filename.
3. Changed: The -2 parameter for RegEx in the expression language will output all matches now.
4. Changed: The statusbar shows the file status on the right and the working (or ready) status in the center.
5. Fixed: TheMovieDB TV show lookup did not properly use the selected metadata language for all data.
6. Fixed: Playback to MCWS zones could crash when querying about Last.fm.
7. Changed: Made some more replacements of "; " with ";" for list building in tagging.

26.0.88 (6/3/2020)

1. Fixed: Possible crash during playback in rare cases.
2. Changed: Manage TV Channels tool will now show channel details (Device name, URL, etc.) of Tuner Stream channels.
3. Changed: When matching TitanTV TV channels with ATSC channels in MC, we use relaxed matching criteria because TitanTV uses outdated physical channel number on some channels.
4. Changed: When viewing an ATSC channel using TitanTV interface, MC will try matching with a Tuner Stream channel if an ATSC channel is not found.
5. Changed: The ListMix expression function escapes parenthesis in the replacements so they won't disrupt the parser and look like functions.
6. NEW: Added the expression Enviro to load a system environment variable.
7. Fixed: The ListMix function included extra information by mistake in the tooltip.
8. Changed: All the parameters for live playback are in the URL so you can configure multiple streams pointing to different hardware and save them to a playlist or similar.
9. NEW: Added a ListGrep expression function to filter a list to a matching string.
10. Fixed: Setting current audio program as default when playing live TV on a client did not work.
11. Fixed: Movie lookup on TheMovieDB uses a specified year for more accurate results.
12. Fixed: Looking up TV Shows on TheMovieDB will prefer the previously selected show, as intended.
13. Changed: Added Genre and Access Rating to the TheMovieDB TV series lookup.
14. Changed: The "Get Movie & TV Info" tool allows selecting a desired movie poster or episode thumbnail, instead of only offering up the first one.
15. Changed: Made the option to scrobble zone specific (you'll have to turn it back on for the zones you want).
16. Changed: Last.fm won't ask for a login when the program is in error free mode.
17. Changed: GroupSummaryQuery delimits a list of fields with semi-colons instead of dashes.
18. Changed: When we search for accents, we search for both the accent and the non-accent instead of only the non-accent (makes GroupSummaryQuery work better).
19. Fixed: Sat>IP TV tuner did not work in recent builds.

26.0.87 (5/29/2020)

1. NEW: Slanted quotes (“”) in titles are replaced with regular quotes (") for lyrics lookup.
2. NEW: Slanted single quotes (‘’) in titles are replaced with reqular single quotes (') for lyrics lookup.
3. NEW: Added a mode 5 to the Clean(...) expression function that standardizes quotes.
4. NEW: Revamped Tuner Stream (DMS) TV channel support.  Primarily for Linux and Mac, but will work on Windows.  Tested with HDHomeRun Prime, and HDHomeRun Extend tuners.  Should also work with HDHomeRun Connect.
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).
8. Changed: Memory playback no longer disables for URL playback.
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.
4. NEW: Sidecar files of the type OPF are loaded for EPUB books (the sidecar must be the same name as the book in the file system other than the extension).
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.
2. Fixed: When browsing for subs, the selection would not be saved.
3. Fixed: Updated Google date lookup to use the newer page styles of Google.
4. Fixed: The missing file icon was not working.

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.
13. Changed: Discovering of Open Cable type of TV tuners is slightly changed.  Users should not notice any difference.

26.0.82 (5/15/2020)

1. Changed: Made analyze audio able to process 16 files at once.
2. Changed: Reverted the ItemCount change from the previous build because it made expressions no longer work.
3. Fixed: Some of the expression tooltips could get incorrectly combined.
4. Fixed: Audio Path could display incorrectly when running a translation.
5. Changed: Made the clean expression function when in filename mode allow backslashes to go through in a new mode 4 of cleaning (since they could be part of a path).
6. Changed: When loading EPG from XMLTV files with multiple access rating systems, MC will try to use user's country setting to determine which system to use automatically.
7. NEW: Support for playing TAK audio files (using the DirectShow playback engine).

DLNA FLAC playback works as expected! Thanks, guys.

Changed: Reverted the change to separate the statusbar text.  It's all in the center again.

That's a shame. I had hoped for many years for a way to see easily  how many files I have in a view even when MC is tagging etc. The separate status bar text was the answer. Hope you might reconsider this.

If they do, I certainly hope it's optional. Personally, I didn't like the split status bar at all.

I agree big time. It's been bothering me for two decades that i could not see how many files i have while MC is busy tagging, not to mention that if the song is playing, the "Saving tag changes (1 remaining)" message covers the information until the song is finished playing...

While I don't know why this was reverted, I also hope that it might be reconsidered.

Thanks.

Michel.

While I don't know why this was reverted

Likely because multiple users, like myself, didn't like it (and complained about it) and likely because there wasn't a way to 'reverse' it or make it optional for those who actually wanted it. The split status bar kept throwing me off when adding new files to the music library, and just looked wrong to me. I'm too used to the current, center status bar where everything gets printed (and honestly I prefer it that way). Years ago I used iTunes, and iTunes had the counts and whatnot in the center of the status bar, which is where I learned to prefer that behaviour.

A split status bar should be an optional feature where the current center single status bar behaviour is the default.... why break what isn't actually broken? Then from there have an optional enhancement to split it, in my opinion.

That would certainly work for me.

“Something went wrong with playback”

Original file 111,263 kB DOT Webm (MC reports that this has a Bit depth of 32, Sample rate of 48kHz, and a Bit rate of 126 somethings.
The file was then converted to an OGG vorbis encapsulation, OPUS codec file format via VLC, this then played correctly on Foobar, Groove Music and VLC, but MC reported that something went wrong with playback.

This was also converted within MC with the output file size increasing to 404,079 kB, presumably because of the 32 bit adherence?    -    Also the “converted file name” was left blank.

VLC file size approximately the same after conversion.

PS. In the process of converting a file MC reported that the conversion was complete, but on further investigation I found that it had failed due to a full disk.

File Properties via Foobar:

Foobar reports DOT Webm file properties as:
Duration : 2:00:06.221 (345 898 608 samples)
Sample rate : 48000 Hz
Opus header gain : 0.00 dB
Original sample rate : 48000
Channels : 2
Bits per sample : 16
Bitrate : 126 kbps
Codec : Opus
Encoding : lossy

Foobar reports DOT OGG OPUS file as:
Duration : 2:00:06.194 (345 897 288 samples)
Sample rate : 48000 Hz
Opus header gain : 0.00 dB
Original sample rate : 48000
Channels : 2
Bitrate : 130 kbps
Codec : Opus
Encoding : lossy
Tool : libopus 1.3

Cheers - Happy Coding...

I move files from 1 folder to another (in explorer), then I replaced path as explained in wiki. But, actual path is M:/Music/ and in replace tool i specified M:/music/. Now I have 2 records of many files with that Paths: big and small M.
I know that in Linux that are different paths, but for windows are the same.

OS: Win 7 x64

v26.0.91 - Hard Crash detected when highlighting tracks from a single album - then right click and choose Convert Format.

The Convert Format panel appears in the lower left. I then click Preset-?Load and choose one my four templates (Convert to MP3 for example) and MC simply disappears.

I turned on logging and recorded two passes at the condition. Both logs are attached. This is 100% reproducible here.

Cheers!

Sometimes JRiver hangs when I change or stop/start track.
I'm not sure, but maybe it depends on default audio output - Speakers and disabled exclusive access. Usually my default output is USB headset.
