28.0.25 (6/18/2021)

1. Changed: Made the 20-band equalizer less wide.
2. Changed: Multiline is turned off in the expression editor only in the rename tool instead of everywhere.

28.0.24 (6/17/2021)

1. Fixed: Playing a track from Cloudplay with no matching artists in the library to Cloudplay again would not find Cloudplay files.
2. Changed: The smooth cross-fade is now an S-curve (feedback appreciated).
3. Changed: Spaces are trimmed from the head and tail of the filename and directory rule in the rename tool.  Newlines are also trimmed.
4. Changed: If the audio analyzer tool is set to auto-start, it now closes automatically when it finishes.
5. Changed: The expression editor used by the rename tool (and other tools) no longer accepts carriage return.

28.0.23 (6/15/2021)

1. NEW: The equalizer is 20 band instead of 10 band.
2. Fixed: Cancel in a library backup would still ask about saving thumbnails.
3. Fixed: Lyrics lookup could contain extra HTML markers in some cases.
4. NEW: Added a "Last Played (album)" field that is set album wide for plays.
5. Fixed: The MCWS call Control/AnalyzeAudio would not work reliably due to threading.
6. Changed: Added the ability to call Control/AnalyzeAudio with a list of file keys.
7. Changed: The web browser place holder in Theater View is now black, instead of gray, resulting in less jaring transitions when the browser is loading.
8. Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts function once again on Playing Now Track Info when using the Edge browser engine.
9. Fixed: The scrollbar in Netflix Web is hidden, for a better fullscreen experience.
10. Fixed: The "Billboard"-style main suggestion on the Netflix home page can be selected.
11. Changed: Pressing the Select/OK/Enter button after playback of a title in Netflix ended will select the "Next Episode" button.

28.0.22 (6/10/2021)

1. NEW: Opus input plugin, with full tag reading/writing support.
2. Changed: Deleting an image would stop playback instead of just going to the next image.
3. Fixed: Potential fix for the Media Center shell extension blocking certain other shell commands from working.
4. Changed: Using a little smaller VST buffer size.

28.0.21 (6/8/2021)

1. Changed: VST plugins could cause latency because of the new buffer delivery system.  Now it uses smaller buffers.

3. Fixed: The example for the Extract function was not right.
4. NEW: Tag() expression function will return any image XMP tags that are not JRiver database fields, for example, Tag(XMP: Label).  Also, Tag(EXIF: Make) and Tag(EXIF: Model) will return make and mode of the camera, individually (whereas [Camera] returns a combination of the two as before).
5. Changed: Diverting to a DLNA zone will issue a seek (since bookmarking is not supported) to retain the playback position.

28.0.20 (6/4/2021)

1. NEW: Tabs support dragging to re-order (and dragging also takes the views so you can drag a tab to Playing Now to play, etc.).
2. Changed: Made restoring a library and settings faster (doesn't decompress twice any longer).
3. NEW: Added the ability to include thumbnails in a library backup.
4. Changed: The expression engine is better about evaluation strings in brackets and not always assuming something after a comma is a parameter.

2. NEW: Added the feature "Divert" to zone right-clickto move playback to a different zone.
3. Changed: Made the MCWS function Playback/LoadDSPPreset able to load DLNA zones (like the save added recently).

5. Fixed: The tree node function could crash if there was no tree selection.
6. Fixed: When you'd edit an expression, resizing the dialog would discard the changes.
7. NEW: The Mid(...) expression function takes a mode so that you can pass the end as an index instead of a count of characters.

5. Fixed: In WMA plugin if "Disable audio buffering to disk" option (Linux only) was used, a file buffer was still created.
6. Changed: The file type is passed along with Radio Paradise files so it no longer needs to hit the server for it.
7. NEW: The custom folders (resources, art, skin items, webpages) are copied during an upgrade to the new version.

28.0.5 (4/16/2021)

1. NEW: Added the PlaylistTime(...) expression to get the time of a track in the current playlist (a sum of all previous durations) in mode 0, mode 1 adds the current track as well, the remaining time of the playlist in mode 2 and 3 (2 excludes the current track), and mode 4 for the total playlist duration.
2. Fixed: WASAPI loopback was not working.
3. Fixed: MakeMKV ripping would create processes over and over instead of using the same one.
4. Changed: When making relative paths, if nothing is in common, it doesn't convert to relative (previously would still output something -- but it wouldn't work).
5. NEW: The export all playlists tool shows a dialog to allow picking the format, whether to use relative paths, and the output path.
6. Fixed: With memory playback enabled, playing some streaming stations with ICY metadata could fail after a while.
7. Fixed: When playing URLs, two layers of ICY parsing could happen causing hiccups in the audio.
8. Fixed: MakeMKV processes were not always getting cleaned up when finished.
9. NEW: Files ripped using MakeMKV are imported after ripping.
10. Changed: Removed unintended double-buffering in mp3 plugin.

In this version there is no longer stuttering when playing live using MC's wasapi driver (WDM) in exclusive mode at 192 Khz from Qobuz and in Master quality from Tidal?
I have MC 27. Thanks.

I'm getting no sound with the new Netflix feature and wonder if it has anything to do with zones of which I have numerous.

In normal view, in the "Streaming" tree, YouTube works, but it does not use the audio path of MC but the Windows "audio path".
Any ideas to fix this issue?

You have to use the WDM driver. Otherwise audio (even through the Edge embedded browser) won't go through MC's audio engine.

Or this problem:

WDM is at least recommended.  It may be required for Netflix to work.

Try using MC's WDM Driver (see the wiki).  I'll move this to a new thread.

Not sure if this is a bug or an oversite but although MC28 copied all my Skins, Views, Playlists, etc over from MC27 it did not copy any of my TrackInfo Plugins.
