This is a new build of JRiver Media Center 30 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download Universal Silicon/Intel 64 bit build
https://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v30/latest/MediaCenter300031-Universal.dmg (minimum requirement MacOS 10.11)

Note: This should be considered a beta build. We are not auto-updating to anything past 30.0.25 yet.

30.0.31 (11/14/2022)

1. Changed: Removed TV option "Save on stop" since it has not been implemented.
2. Changed: Removed TV option "Start analog devices in time-shifting mode" since analog tuners are not supported on Mac.
3. Changed: Removed TV option "Start digital devices (including CableCARD devices) in time-shifting mode" since TV always starts in time-shifting mode on Mac.
4. Fixed: Another change to window stacking that fixes issues with Theater View and Display View.
5. Fixed: The restart option (launcher path) for the restart icon.
6. Fixed: More changes to popups, window layering and display and theater view window initial display.
7. Fixed: The links toolbar could crop some buttons since the addition of Spotlight even when there was space for more.
8. Fixed: The option at the top of smartlists to expand links was not working properly.  Now it changes the visible files.
9. Changed: Links are expanded when adding files to a playlist (instead of when viewing since the view should map exactly to the actual files).
10. Changed: Pulled in the Modern Cards Dark updated frame borders from Marko (thanks!).
11. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
12. Changed: Play Doctor does not play a local file first when Include Files From Cloudplay option is set to 100%.
13. Fixed: Play Doctor would fail to get any Cloudplay files in some circumstances.

30.0.30 (11/8/2022)

1. Fixed: A different fix for changing the sorting for library views not applying properly.
2. Fixed: Thumbnails were unconditionally erased when the image filename was changed whether they should have been or not. Affected the one time library update in Mac versions >30.0.25. If you were affected by this you can restore from a backup (with thumbnails) or rebuild your thumbnails.

30.0.29 (11/7/2022)

1. Fixed: Incorrect background color was being set for Chromium browser.
2. Changed: Spotlight and loading web pages use "LIST" skin background colors.
3. Fixed: Switching from Standard View to full-screen Display View would not reliably switch to the configured full-screen monitor.
4. Changed: The MakeMKV backup decryption option will default to what it was previously set at with Blu-ray discs.
5. Fixed: MCWS calls to SetInfo would not return that the data had not changed when setting some data types.
6. Fixed: Incorrect color was being used to draw chevron for Links bar overflow.
7. Fixed: Changing the sorting for library location type views would not always propagate properly.
8. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
9. Fixed: Skins with BorderResizeForText set could get a strange titlebar text.
10. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 to 5.1 with two extra channels would result in the rear channels missing.
11. Fixed: Fullscreen mode in MacOS 13.0 (Ventura).
12. Changed: Popup windows forced above the UI so they cannot be hidden when the UI is clicked on.

30.0.27 (10/31/2022)

1. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč).
2. Changed: Updated borders in the Modern Cards Dark skin some more (thanks HPBEME).
3. Fixed: The rating field could require more space to draw on the right than needed.
4. Changed: Clicking a link on the streaming page will go to the page even if you have that page off so it doesn't show in the tree.
5. Changed: Spotlight hides blue focus rectangle on page load.
6. Changed: Spotlight for TV shows uses the TMDB ID for lookup if tag is set.
7. Changed: Spotlight for TV shows also tries leading 0 to search for matching seasons and episodes in the library (e.g. "01").
8. Changed: Added a timer to the SSDP utility to indicate how much time is remaining in the scan.
9. Changed: Hide Spotlight button in Files list header.
10. NEW: Linux and Mac clients can play live TV with digital TV tuners (bda) on a Windows server.
11. NEW: IMPORTANT: The database is automatically switched to using pre-composed UTF8 on first run of this build! This solves longstanding issues with diacritical characters. Don't use the database which this version updates on a previous build unless you turn off auto-import or you'll get duplicates in your database.
12. Changed: Ventura breaks the fullscreen API MC uses so MC will not go to fullscreen on Ventura and above on this build (solves white screen issues). We hope to fix this in Ventura in a future build.
13. NEW: The library tool "Clean File Properties..." adds a function to convert decomposed utf-8 in tags to precomposed utf-8. This should only need to be use to clean up NAME tags when a file was originally imported without tags (which means the original NAME tag was built from the decomposed filename).

30.0.25 (10/25/2022)

1. Changed: Added the MakeMKV backup option to the new media dialog.
2. Changed: Moved the MakeMKV backup button from the disc header to the rip action window.
3. Fixed: Searches could include fields not marked as default search fields.
4. Changed: Included updated borders in the Modern Cards Dark skin (thanks HPBEME and Marko).
5. Fixed: Using the new deinterlacing mode in JRVR would disrupt seeking in the video.
6. Changed: Updated Hungarian translation (thanks Gyula).
7. Changed: Minor visual tweaks to the main Streaming page.
8. Changed: Updated the new features link in the help menu for v30.
9. Fixed: Album sets with more than 32 albums would not be marked as complete (now the cap is 256).
10. Changed: Clouplay checks multiple tracks for recent playlists cover art.
11. Fixed: URL for Icecast Streaming was updated.
12. Changed: Increased accuracy of font size calculation in custom tooltip templates.
13. Fixed: Spotlight related artist link wasn't working.

30.0.23 (10/20/2022)

1. Fixed: Album sets with more than 32 albums would not be marked as complete (now the cap is 256).
2. Changed: Clouplay checks multiple tracks for recent playlists cover art.
3. Fixed: URL for Icecast Streaming was updated.
4. Changed: Increased accuracy of font size calculation in custom tooltip templates.
5. Changed: Vertically compress Artist Spotlight so it is more likely to fit on one page.
6. NEW: GPU compute accelerated shader deinterlacing in JRVR (based on the YADIF algorithm).
7. Fixed: ListCombine mode 2 was not trimming spaces when it built the list.
8. NEW: Added a mode 3 to ListCombine that's A - B.
9. Fixed: Another issue with decomposed filenames and name tag generation on import.

30.0.22 (10/19/2022)

1. Fixed: WavPack files played from a library server could incorrectly assume there was a correction file.
2. Fixed: When WavPack found a correction file, it would incorrectly clear the flags about how to open the file.
3. Fixed: Missing wavpack content and mimetypes prevented pushing a wavpack to DLNA renderer.
4. Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.5.
5. Fixed: Related Artists in Spotlight were not being retrieved.
6. Changed: When a file is imported without a name in the tags, a name will be generated from a precomposed version of the filename as opposed to the previous behavior generated from decomposed string.

1. Fixed: Wiki web link was opening an image instead of the main article.
2. Changed: The time-shifting file for playback of a DMS channel will have the extension of .jrts instead of .dat.
3. Fixed: Pasting strings from the clipboard containing diacritical characters (like ü) into MC wouldn't work properly if the strings were decomposed utf-8.
4. Changed: Updated video rendering engine for JRVR.

30.0.20 (10/13/2022)

1. Fixed: Wiki web link was opening an image instead of the main article.
2. Changed: The time-shifting file for playback of a DMS channel will have the extension of .jrts instead of .dat.
3. Fixed: Clearing the search box could cause the active tab to shift in some cases as the search box took focus.
4. NEW: Added another mode to ListCombine(...) expression function to allow outputting only values not common to both lists.

7. Changed: The device list in the SSDP utility is now sorted alphabetically.
8. Fixed: The SSDP utility could crash while scanning in some rare cases.

Bob - I'm not sure if some/all of this is down to Ventura.

When I 1st opened 30.0.31 everything looked correct but when I opened DSP Studio the 3 Windows Control Buttons were not visible; there were 3 grey circles where they should be, but when I hovered the mouse over one of them the proper buttons appeared. With the "Playback Options" form the buttons were present as soon as the form opened but some of the icons/images that appear on that form were not visible.

I then started switching between views and this is when the Major Disaster happened because Standard View opened in a very odd way.

The Top bar, the one that holds the Windows Control Buttons and Top bar Buttons was missing and the bottom/status bar was below/behind the taskbar.

I tried using the Restart MC button and that worked but MC re-opened with that same "damaged" standard view.

I then forcibly quit MC and reinstalled 30.0.30 but it also opened with the damaged Standard View window.

I then re-installed MC30.0.30.

Since MC30 was effectively a new installation, just out of curiosity I got MC30.0.30 to import part of my music collection. When in files view I only saw the version of Volumes with the forward slash.

I then removed those files/tracks and told MC to restore a backup that I'd created on the win pc which of course resulted in tons of "missing files".

I removed those missing files" and used Import a Single Folder to get my Music Collection into the Mac Library
This time, once again, files view was switching between one and 2 versions of Volumes, but this time I clicked on the one with the Backslash and saw a reducing list of tracks and as soon as it emptied the /Volumes entry in the list vanished.

It looks like the /Volumes is a list of files that it's grabbed from the exfat disc with Win Format Paths and once each one is converted to Mac Format Paths it gets removed from the "Win List" and added to the library with Mac Format Paths. So, it looks like that "unexpected behaviour" could be linked to using a Library Backup that was created on a Win PC on a Mac PC.

Once all the files/tracks had been imported set MC playing and checked to see if MC30.0.31 had caused any other damage, Thankfully it hadn't

The missing buttons was a simple fix. It will be in the next build. I can't reproduce the rest and it's possible the same fix will cover those as well. Let us know. Thanks!

After using full screen display view, the Media Center program menu bar is no longer available at the top of my desktop window. A program restart is required to get it back.

These issues should be fixed in the next build.

Modern Cards Dark borders finally works ;D

Quick question... I use Moom to assign hotkeys for automatically resizing and positioning windows and I noticed MC is the only app that doesn't work with it.  Is it possible to let MC respond properly to whatever system event Moom is using to reposition and resize windows?

I'm not sure. If you could dig up some more info on that, assuming it's using some kind of standard MacOS eventing we could look into it.
