28.0.78 (10/21/2021)
1. Changed: Made number trimming include more characters when it trims the start and end of a string so "ABC (4:03)" will become "ABC".
2. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
3. NEW: Added the ability to add a clock to the toolbar.
4. NEW: Made the tooltip option three states with one being all tooltips off.
5. NEW: Initial settings panel for JRVR (in Settings -> Video -> JRVR Settings...)
28.0.77 (10/19/2021)
1. NEW: Added modes 7 and 8 to the Clean(...) expression to remove numbers from the end of the string ( 7 ) or either side of the string ( 8 ).
2. NEW: Added removing leading and trailing numbers to the Clean File Properties tool.
3. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč!).
4. Changed: Twilight gets darker during the night and doesn't get brighter than default during the day.
5. Fixed: Seeking did not work when JRVR is used in TV playback with DirectShow or JTV recordings.
6. Fixed: In Standard TV View, show logos do not show up after a channel was selected until the user left the channel and then came back to the same channel.
7. Fixed: Once a file was flagged as HDCD, analyzing again would not see the HDCD.
8. NEW: Support for D3D11 Hardware decoding and hardware deinterlacing in JRVR.
9. Fixed: The new calculated unless filled fields didn't work well in all cases in panes or searches.
10. Fixed: Spacebar to pause wasn't working if the tree was focused.
11. Changed: In Standard TV View the show logo images reserved a fixed width rectangle so that the text and buttons on its right side will not be shifted around whenever the image's aspect ratio changes.
12. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
28.0.76 (10/14/2021)
1. Changed: Audio analysis will engage HDCD processing if it's enabled (you might need to reanalyze your HDCD files).
2. NEW: Added an information message box to the skin to show sunrise, sunset, and the current effect.
3. Changed: The spacing between rows in a list would add room for the image column even if it wasn't there.
4. Changed: Setting HDCD to "1" will clear the audio analysis results so they run again (since enabling processing changes the results).
5. Changed: Improved handling of timestamps when dealing with Transport Stream streaming TV channels (DMS channels, some IPTV channels, and CableCARD channels on Linux/Mac).
6. Fixed (probably): Playback of Transport Stream streaming TV channels could be messed up if the stream changed its Program Clock Reference (outside of regular resetting due to counter overflow).
7. Changed: The spacing between item rows in a list would leave space for an image column even if it wasn't there.
28.0.75 (10/12/2021)
1. Fixed: Some expression code was slowing things down.
28.0.74 (10/12/2021)
1. Changed: Twilight is lighter between sunrise and sunset then darkens at sunset (gradual fading for 30 minutes on either side).
2. Fixed: MHT support in View Extras wasn't fully implemented.
3. Fixed: When watching Netflix, it could jump back to Theater View.
4. Fixed: The skip intro/recap buttons in Netflix were not being automatically selected anymore.
28.0.73 (10/8/2021)
1. NEW: Added a checkbox to library fields "Allow custom data to override the expression" that will allow editing the value of an expression and then show the edited value instead of the expression (just empty to bring the expression back).
2. Changed: The Twilight skin no longer changes the skin effects.
3. Changed: The Twilight skin fading would not take effect until a little while after it was loaded.
28.0.72 (10/7/2021)
1. NEW: JRVR is available integrated with Red October for Video playback. (Preview)
2. Fixed: Files ripped using MakeMKV were not storing movie or TV information if it was set before ripping was completed.

5. Changed: DLNA flags set for album art and images to be more compliant with the standard.
6. Changed: When waking from a deep sleep mode, MC will send a M-Search to ask DLNA devices on the network to re-announce their presence.
28.0.71 (10/5/2021)
1. Changed: The expression engine was short-circuiting field functions, but it no longer does that if there are enough parameters to indicate another file so Field(Name, 0, [Reference]) works.
2. Changed: Added an optional third parameter to the Counter expression function to set when to start over.
3. Fixed: For IPTV playback a "Window" context menu (for aspect ratio, zooming etc.) was displayed in error as it's not supported.
4. Changed: A pane right-click menu would be really limited if "Enable pane tagging" was not enabled. Now it is the same either way.
5. NEW: Added mht to the list of types searched for viewing extras.
6. NEW: Added "Lock Tab" to the main view menu so it appears for all views even if they don't have a header menu (like television and notes).
7. Changed: Copies are limited to 256 MB instead of 16 MB.
28.0.70 (9/30/2021)
1. Changed: Made the Field expression function take an optional third parameter to specify a file key (defaults to empty which evaluates the current file).
2. Changed: The brackets for fields also support the new third parameter.
3. NEW: When setting a field to an expression, a "this" variable is saved so doing something like =RemoveLeft([this], 3) will work.
4. Changed: The MCC_SYNC_WITH_LIBRARY_SERVER command takes a silent parameter (optionally).
28.0.69 (9/28/2021)
1. NEW: Made FieldQuery take a Scope of 2 to match files of the same media type (the list is gathered one time, so you will need to restart to see newly imported files).
2. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
3. Fixed: Removing cover art from FLAC files could fail if the picture was saved as FLAC__STREAM_METADATA_PICTURE_TYPE_OTHER.
28.0.68 (9/23/2021)
1. Changed: After completing a rip using MakeMKV, it will run the TV and movie information lookup on the new files in the background.
2. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).

1. Changed: A little more tuning to tab creation to hopefully avoid some possible problems.
28.0.65 (9/16/2021)
1. Fixed: MC could hang if TV recording was started on a channel with no signal.
2. Changed: If an OpenCABLE or Sat>IP channel has no signal for 30 consecutive seconds, a notification is sent to TV engine and the tuner will be shutdown.
3. Changed: Made opening a new tab have no history.
4. Fixed: Locking a tab then navigating into an artist, genre, etc. and then going back would open a new tab.
5. Changed: Switched the icons in the MakeMKV title selection dialog tree.
6. Fixed: IPTV channels streaming HLS format might end up not playing if MC failed to get its MIME type during start up, even though the URL contains "m3u8" extension.

1. NEW: Added a description field to custom database fields.
2. Changed: Added mime types "application/vnd.apple.mpegurl" and "application/x-mpegurl" to be associated with m3u playlist.
3. Fixed: Non-HLS IPTV streams in transport stream format could not be played in TV engine.
4. NEW: The field description is shown in the column header tooltip.
5. NEW: Updated to Monkey's Audio 7.02 for greatly increased performance (thanks to Robert Kausch).
6. Changed: Removed left-click handling from the text area of the program. Only right-click shows the menu now.
7. Changed: After successfully completing a rip using MakeMKV, eject the disc if requested.
8. Changed: Reverted the VST scaling support changes because reports are that it's not better.
28.0.63 (9/10/2021)

28.0.60 (9/3/2021)
1. Fixed: Editing files could not work properly when none were selected (which should show as all selected).
2. Fixed: Improved the ordinal code because 11 would show 11st instead of 11th.
3. Fixed: Some date lookups would fail because a full date was returned and we were expecting only a year.
4. Changed: Improved error handling in IPTV playback.
5. Changed: IPTV playback will automatically pause if data downloading is slow and playback will resume if enough is buffered.
6.
NEW: When ripping using MakeMKV, individual title items are now able to be selected as well.
7. Changed: Updated the MakeMKV title selection dialog to use a tree structure for better organization of titles and items.

1. Fixed: TV recordings starting or stopping could cause
Netflix to return to the start page.

10. Fixed: Returning from Cover View would not restore the window size and position properly.
11. Fixed: Playing a currently recording IPTV channel did not work correctly.
12. Changed: When saving recent searches, if only one character is changed (even in the middle of a string) it will replace the entry instead of add a new one.
28.0.57 (8/27/2021)
1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (
thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Changed: The math evaluator accepts pluses in front of numbers to denote them being positive.
3. NEW: Added the
MCWS function Settings/Skin to allow changing skins (allows scheduler to be used to schedule skin switches by running something like MC28.exe /MCWS/v1/Settings/Skin?Skin=Noire).
4. Fixed: IPTV channel could not be viewed if a recording had been started on the channel.
5. Changed:
IPTV channel startup is significantly faster.

2. Changed: Made matches in suggestion boxes promote matches that start with what is typed.
3. Fixed: VST effects could cause a click when playback was restarted.
4.
NEW: A tab lock image is shown when tabs are locked.

28.0.55 (8/24/2021)
1. Changed: Moved the escapement for ListMix to after evaluating as a child expression.
2. Changed: ListMix takes parameter value of 8 which tells it to do no unescape after everything.
28.0.54 (8/24/2021)
1. Changed: TV Options > Advanced > Show status... dialog window is now scrollable so that the text will not be truncated.
2. Changed: Increased HLS playlist refreshing retry count, to reduce chances of IPTV stalling due to server being slow to update playlists.
3. Fixed: Starting playback with Playback/PlayByKey of a whole album would not start with the selected file.
4. Changed: ListMix checks for all functions and things in brackets to decide if it should re-evaluated the inner as an expression.
5. Changed: ListMix allows specifying flag value of 4 to not evaluate the inner portion as another expression.
6. Fixed: If a VST effect had a zero byte preset, it could cause a crash.
28.0.53 (8/19/2021)
1.
NEW: Locked tabs are saved between program runs.
2. Changed: Loading a saved view will clear all the tab locks.
3. Changed: Tuned expression escapement for the ListMix functions so they only evaluate if certain functions are found in the new expression instead of anything with a parenthesis.
4. Changed: Added handling of
encrypted HLS streams in IPTV. Still does not work for all such channels. For those channels that work fine, time-shifting and recording are available now.

5. NEW: Clicking to close a locked tab will show a prompt to confirm.
6. NEW: Added tab locking to the main drop menu shown for the tab.
7. Changed: Updated libass for better ASS/SSA
subtitle performance and conformance.
28.0.51 (8/10/2021)
1. Changed: Reverted the error free persistence changes from the last build.
2. Changed: Added the menu item "Exit Error Free Mode" to turn off error free mode (appears in the Help menu when in error free mode).
3. Changed: Loudness modes didn't take effect as you changed them right away.
4. Fixed: In some cases, thumbnail text would not draw with an ellipsis at the end to show it was cut off even if it was.
5. NEW: The navigation history is saved between runs (capped at 20 deep) so navigating back (or using the links in the link bar) will work.

7. Changed:
Updated the Edge WebView integration for faster startup.
8. Changed: Series/Season Artwork filenames are no longer swapped around when the Series name contains a comma.
28.0.50 (8/6/2021)

2.
NEW: The field "Last Lyrics Lookup" is set during lyrics lookup and auto-import will no longer try again if the file has a lookup date.
3. Fixed: Theater View recorded TV show delete confirmation, and a whole lot of other confirmation or configuration dialogs related to TV in Theater View, were not showing if MC had been in
error free mode.
4. Fixed: MC on windows couldn't find the paths of files from a portable library from a Mac if they contained accented characters.
5. Fixed: Theater View non-TV file deletion confirmation was not shown if MC was in error free mode.
6. Changed: Setting error free mode with MCWS would persist across runs.
7. Changed: Error free mode could save between runs in some cases. Now it's runtime only and always resets.

1. Fixed: While a recording on a DMS channel or an IPTV channel was going on, watching the channel might not show the entire available video if the recording is longer than the default time-shifting window.
2. Changed: ListFilter(...) string comparison is no longer case sensitive.
3. Changed: Removed the space from the ListFilter(...) delimiter.
4. Changed: When launching to mini view, returning to standard view now shows the playing file in Playing Now.
5. Changed: The new 20 band equalizer uses narrower band settings so presets will more closely match their old behavior.
6. Changed: Date lookup from Google properly escapes the information so something like "Ashford & Simpson" won't cause problems.
7. Fixed: The new APE code could crash on computers with AVX but not AVX2 (the new code requires AVX2).

6. Changed: Picking ascpect ratios to crop by in image editor selects as much of the image as possible instead of an arbitrary rectangle.
7.

8. NEW: Added mode 6 to the clean function which removes leading numbers (including spaces, decimals, and commas).
9. Changed: The between tracks mode "Use gapless for sequential album tracks" will only engage when reaching the end of the file (so manual transitions will not use it).

28.0.46 (7/29/2021)
1.
