The password is shown as a€ca€ca€ca€ca€ca€c.
Is that a bug or a feature?

I have two MC Clients connected to my media server. On the server now also the main libraries of the two clients (the main libraries are not loaded on the two clients) appear compared to the last MC release.

Is this a now a bug or a feature? (I have DLNA disabled!)

Fixed next build.  Thanks for the report.

Edit:  I'd suggest to delete this post because I can no longer replicate this behavior.  Odd, since at one point the issue consistently occurred for me.
When I determine the steps to replicate I'll repost.
Thanks

When the recently modified DSP studio dialog is displayed,  the height of the window does not take into account the height of the status bar.  Result is the buttons are hidden underneath the status bar at bottom of window.  Maximizing the window seems to take status bar into account and allows access to the buttons.

I mostly (only?) see this when using w/4k display.  Can issues such as these be fixed in future update?

Could we have video waveform analysis re-enabled with the following changes:

Waveform Analysis should be made OPTIONAL for EVERYBODY and not just for Video's!
It's Edit Type should also be set to "Cannot be edited" to stop miscreants causing havoc by modifying it.

As discussed here https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,128474.0.html

Cheers.

Just installed 27.0.77 for Windows and notice the volume control now doesn't sync with the system volume when "System Volume" is selected. The level in MC stays stuck near the beginning. Is this a change or should it still sync? I find it handy to see the system level while using MC.

Thanks.

Same here. My volume controls for both my Logitech mouse and keyboard now do nothing. Mute and channel change still work however.

Same problem here.

Volume will be fixed next build.  Thanks for the help everyone.

Thanks Matt, same volume freeze problem. I solved it by going back to the previous build 27.0.66. And if you know that this release have this bug, please remove this download for prevent other users of a bad experience.
