28.0.87 (11/26/2021)
1. Fixed: When switching zooming preset ("Fit Window", "100%", "200%"), in non-DirectShow TV playback, using the "Window" context menu added in the last build, the video might not be centered properly.
2. Fixed:
Subtitles could boost the overall image brightness in JRVR when using HDR pass-through.
3. Changed: The
JRVR information OSD is scaled by the Media Center size setting.
4.
NEW: TV view in Standard View will have the option to "Show server status" when MC is connected to a server.
5. Changed: Lowered the
brightness of subtitles when using HDR pass-through with JRVR to be more consistent with SDR content, as well as improve the color reproduction.
6. Changed: When an input sample rate is different from any of the preset sample rates, the closest match will be chosen for resampling.
28.0.86 (11/23/2021)
1.
NEW: HDR10 pass-through with Red October JRVR.
2.
NEW: Support for 10-bit output with Red October JRVR.
3.
NEW: Added an information on-screen display to JRVR (Ctrl-J to toggle).
4. Changed: The "Window" context menu (for video zooming and aspect ratio control) is now enabled for non-DirectShow playback of live TV as well.
5.
NEW: Support for Frame-Stepping (Shift-Right Arrow in Pause) with Red October JRVR.
28.0.85 (11/19/2021)
1. Fixed: Blu-ray Menu playback with JRVR could get stuck or end prematurely.
2. Changed: TV engine will always insert "AVI Decompressor" filter when building DirectShow graphs for device "USB Capture HDMI+".
3. Changed: TV channel playback that does not use DirectShow (i.e. IPTV and DMS channels) will use the new JRVR video renderer instead of the OpenGL renderer.
4. Fixed: Rare crash when stopping TV playback of channel types not using DirectShow.
5. Fixed: When switching to and from Twilight the skin effects could stay engaged.
6. Fixed: Loading skins with skin effects could load the effect after it had already loaded some pieces so the effect wouldn't engage properly.
28.0.84 (11/16/2021)
1. Fixed: The TV feature added in build 83 did not quite work correctly.
2. Changed: When playing a ATSC TV recording, MC will try to honor "Subtitles & Language" settings "Show subtitles in selected language if available", "Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is different from audio language", "Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is different from audio languagem, or if the subtitles are in a sidecar file", if Closed Captioning metadata had been saved in database during recording (i.e. the recordings are done using the latest version of MC).
3. Changed:
JRVR will report the actual screen refresh rate to VideoClock for more accurate timing adjustments.
4. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
5.
NEW: The Playback OSD is rendered natively with JRVR.
6.
NEW: Support for Blu-ray Menu playback with JRVR.
7. Changed: Updated Greek translation (
thanks Panagiotis).
8.
NEW: Added Options > Audio > Advanced > Stop after a long pause.
9. Fixed:
Analog TV tuner and video capture devices were not using JRVR as selected by users.
28.0.83 (11/11/2021)
1. Fixed: Some static text controls would load colors initially then not update with skin changes.
2. Fixed: Some list controls wouldn't update text colors when skins changed.
3. Changed: Improved timeout in JRVR when detecting rendering glitches to allow a more graceful recovery.
4.
NEW: When recording an ATSC TV channel (with tuners using DirectShow), the program's Closed Captioning metadata is saved in the database for the recorded file (in PlaybackInfo field).
28.0.82 (11/9/2021)
1. Changed: Improved JRVR timing accuracy when using NTSC-style display refresh rates (eg. 23.976 Hz).
2.
NEW: Support for DVD playback with Red October JRVR.
28.0.81 (11/8/2021)
1.
NEW: Enabled context menu items "Go To Earliest Time" and "Go To Latest Time" in time-shifted TV playback with DMS and IPTV channels.
2. Fixed: The "Tuner Type" drop-down on Configure Device dialog window did not offer proper choices with IPTV tuner.
3. Changed: "Disabled" is removed from choices in "Tuner Type" drop-down if the TV type is "IPTV" since there is no real device to be disabled.
4. Changed: The option "Disable VideoClock when not time-shifting" is no longer shown if the devices are DMS, or IPTV since non-time-shifting mode is not offered for these types.
5.
NEW: "This device uses a separate audio capture filter" option in TV tuner configuration dialog window, for analog TV tuners or video capture devices.
6. Fixed: When running an analog TV tuner or a video capture device with Closed Caption option on, and video could fail to play if Closed Caption rendering failed. With this fix, video will play without CC when CC rendering fails.
7. Changed: When playing an ATSC TV recording, the video option "Always show subtitles" in "Subtitles & Language" section will be obeyed and Closed Captioning will be shown (if available) unless the file's PlaybackInfo tag specifically says to turn it off. This is applicable only when playing videos in using DirectShow filters.
8. Changed: Moved the
Gammut and Gamma JRVR options into an "Advanced" section, as well as re-factored the Gamma option to properly indicate the intent and suggested use.
9. Fixed: JRVR would process SDR video with a HDR brightness adaptation, resulting in boosted black levels.
10.
NEW: The DLNA server defaults (when no server existed previously) to original format since many modern renderers have greater capabilities than in the past.
11.
NEW: Added a DLNA server template for Original Format.
28.0.80 (10/26/2021)
1.
NEW: Added DCI-P3-D65 to the available target gamuts in JRVR.
2. Changed: Adjusted the JRVR HDR Tonemapping defaults for a better out-of-the-box experience.
3. Changed: You can grab and drag any tab instead of only the active one.
4. Fixed: Dragging tabs in a split view was not working nicely.
28.0.79 (10/25/2021)
1. Changed: Made toggling the tooltips with the toolbar button roll through all three states.
2. Fixed: Google lyrics lookup could contain HTML spans.
3. Changed: Enabled the JRVR settings for Target Gamut and Gamma, and added more advanced tonemapping settings.
4. Changed: Added a debugging mode to JRVR to log frame timings for diagnosing frame pacing issues.
5. Changed: Reworked when HDCD processing is done to avoid possible volume changes during a track transition.
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".

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.

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 ).

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)

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.

6.
NEW: When waking from a deep sleep mode, MC will send a M-Search to query DLNA devices.
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.

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).

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.

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).

7. Changed: After successfully completing a rip using MakeMKV, eject the disc if requested.

2. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
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.
