27.0.18 (9/30/2020)

1. Changed: Added an information message box to inform the user after DLNA is enabled during SiliconDust EPG setup, that it is a good idea to restart MC before re-attempting EPG setup.
2. Changed: Blocked TV recording on DMS tuners since it has not been implemented properly, to prevent crashes.  Windows only.  On non-Windows recording is already no-op.
3. Fixed: Spelling error.  On Load Program Guide window, the word "everyday" is changed to "every day".
4. Changed: The program no longer pauses a playing video when clicking to activate the program from another program.

27.0.17 (9/30/2020)

1. Changed: MC will show a better error message when it fails to download EPG data, especially from SiliconDust.
2. NEW: Added the web service function File/GetPlaylists to get a list of playlists for a given file.
3. Changed: Respond to a Playlist/Build call with the new playlist ID.
4. NEW: The genre, artist, album, composer, track #, and name are read from the iTunes database during import (so files don't need to be tagged for those fields).
5. NEW: MC will parse <episode-num> element with system="onscreen" attribute in XMLTV files more smartly so it will pick up season number and episode number, in particular from SiliconDust EPG.
6. Changed: MC will reload TV channel logos during EPG loading (if EPG data file contains the logo images) if previous image file is missing.
7. NEW: VST3 adds support for 4.0, 5.1, and 7.1 channel layouts.
8. NEW: During SiliconDust EPG setup MC will detect whether DLNA is enabled.  If not, MC will offer to display Media Network options page.

6. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
7. Fixed: Importing MP4 video files with Playback set to "External" could result in some information missing.
8. Fixed: MP4 video files will more reliably use the video engine to fill in missing metadata.

15. Changed: More VST3 effects will show a display.

19. Changed: Restored MC2XML EPG mode (Windows platform only).

27.0.15 (9/19/2020)

1. Changed: Video pause will fire the OSD when in full screen mode now.

27.0.13 (9/17/2020)

1. Changed: MC will skip automatic creation of DMS (Tuner Stream) channels for an HDHomeRun device if it can determine the tuner's TV format to be DVB-T, and DVB-T channels already exist.
2. NEW: Added a "Find License" button to the purchase / restore dialog.
3. Changed: Automatic loading of SiliconDust EPG will be done in a worker thread so the program will be more responsive.

15. NEW: Left clicking a playing video will toggle the pause state (except blu-ray because the menu needs the clicks).

I'm outputting to an Anthem MRX-1120 via HDMI with an NVIDIA GTX-1080.  In MC-26 I was able to use either of WASAPI or Direct Sound.  In MC-27, both builds 16 and 18, only Direct Sound works.

PS:  I also temporarily enabled the MB realtek audio.  Again with MC-27 similar problems with WASAPI. In MC-26 WASAPI creates loud distorted noise...

"4. Changed: The program no longer pauses a playing video when clicking to activate the program from another program."

It works, but would it be possible to get an option for this "pause on single click on video" in general or is there one I didn't see ?

And/or can something be done about the delay between click and pause ? for me it is always at least a half second between clicking and the video actually pausing. If that were instant I could get into it.

Thanks

There is video judder with v27.0.18 - 2 frames are getting dropped every other second
This was not the case with previous builds

Dirac Live Processor and DDMF Metaplugin VST3 do not receive/process signal

Try uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-ins.

Try toggling hardware acceleration in MC's video settings.

[SamuriHL]

That won't help, Jim.  It's the same issue I reported and others have confirmed.

Greatday, same here with .18

[RoderickGI]

Greatday, same here with .18

Install and use MC27.0.16 for now. The video problem should be fixed in MC27.0.20 and above.

[Mans]

OK RoderickGI,
.16 isn't affected, worked at the time and so rolled back.

Yet another issue with .18: ripping audio cd's isn't working.
Each attempt to rip a cd comes immediately back as 'parameter is out of reach'.
Since I've rolled back to .16 i can rip these cd's without any issue.

[SamuriHL]

A fix is definitely coming.
