30.0.40 (12/8/2022)

1. NEW: Add option to open Image Preview when double-clicking an image.
2. Fixed: Image Preview would show GetFile as title for every image when using a library server client.
3. Fixed: Current selection would sometimes not be visible when showing or closing Image Preview.
4. Changed: Disabled drag-n-drop for files on the Edge and Chromium WebView.
5. Changed: Ran all the translations through the tool to update to the latest strings from the source code.
6. Fixed: Remote Control page and other borders could be back unintentionally for a few builds.

30.0.39 (12/6/2022)

1. Improved: More reduction of the amount of time for TV guide loading and displaying.
2. Changed: Switched the VST flush of silence from five second to three seconds to make stopping a little faster with slow filters.
3. Changed: The text "Press escape to exit Display View" could show incorrectly in Playing Now Overview.

30.0.38 (12/1/2022)

1. Changed: Turned the test tone generated by Room Correction down a little because it could clip.
2. NEW: Add Spotlight search for Artists to main search box.
3. Improved: Reduced the amount of time for MC to load TV guide programs.
4. Changed: Spotlight uses skin image for missing audio thumbnails.
5. Fixed: Some Artist images for Spotlight were broken.

30.0.37 (11/29/2022)

1. Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.6.
2. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 8.98.
3. Changed: Options that are disabled no longer respond to mouse-over.
4. Fixed: The Playing Now overview view would not size the duration column correctly when running with scale.
5. Changed: Zone presets will be sorted by name.
6. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
7. Fixed: The new smooth progress bar could cause problems during DLNA playback.
8. Changed: Windows that are not popups will no longer have window borders (applies to the remote options page for example).
9. NEW: Add Spotlight search for Actors/Directors to main search box.
10. Fixed: Artwork could be sized incorrectly in some cases.

30.0.36 (11/23/2022)

1. Fixed: When playing a TV channel using Transport Stream time-shifting (the new time-shifting), the OSD program info text stayed forever unless another OSD came along to replace it..
2. Changed: The position slider is smooth at the end of a track instead of jumping to a slightly different position and moving less smooth.
3. NEW: Add Spotlight search for Movies and TV Shows to main search box (see entries at the end of the dropdown).
4. NEW: Added the ability to export and import all Theater View templates.
5. Fixed: The transport stream time-shifting did not clean up buffering files properly when viewing of a TV channel was stopped (.jrts and *.jrts.cnk files were left in folders).

30.0.35 (11/21/2022)

1. Changed: Removed the 4k logo from Theater View.  Different changes to come later.
2. Changed: The installer no longer allows installation into the root of the program files folder.
3. Fixed: Recording on BDA TV devices and OpenCABLE and Sat>IP devices did not work if the user configured recording format was JTV and if the devices used transport stream time-shifting.  Now if such combination of settings are used, recording will switch to TS format.
4. Changed: "Legacy method" (as referring to program stream time-shifting method) is renamed "original method".
5. Changed: Default time-shifting method is changed to the original method, instead of "Use Transport Stream Time-shifting for bda tuners in addition to ...".

30.0.34 (11/18/2022)

1. Changed: The skin name hash is stored along with the view header images so changing skins will not require a restart for custom artwork to populate.
2. Fixed: Increased the internal buffer in the non-DirectShow video engine to improve playback of files with bad interleaving.  This includes fixing the issue with live TV played in non-DirectShow engine (new time-shifting for bda and OpenCABLE, DMS) of some TV stations.
3. NEW: A 4k bubble is shown in Theater View when zooming into a 4k movie.

30.0.33 (11/17/2022)

1. NEW: View header images can be customized by the skin (Image > ViewHeaderDrivesDevices, ViewHeaderServicesPlugins, ViewHeaderDownload, ViewHeaderPlaylist, ViewHeaderPodcast, ViewHeaderDLNA, ViewHeaderExplorer, ViewHeaderScheduler, ViewHeaderWebMedia, ViewHeaderHandheld, ViewHeaderCD, ViewHeaderLibrary, ViewHeaderLibraryInactive, ViewHeaderReporter, ViewHeaderTelevision).
2. NEW: The transport stream time-shifting method is now also optionally available for OpenCABLE and Sat>IP TV devices.
3. Fixed: The extra channels selection could unintentionally grow when picking other settings.
4. Fixed: Playing audio with more then 8 channels could result in extra channels being silenced if the output would not exactly match (now channel are copied as there is space, and then cut off).

3. NEW: A 4k bubble is shown in Theater View when zooming into a 4k movie.

Could you explain this news to me?

I tried zooming in on a 4k movie, but didn't notice anything

[Matt]

The next build had this:
Changed: Removed the 4k logo from Theater View.  Different changes to come later.

We'll release more changes in the coming weeks.  Thanks.

Re:  30.0.38 (12/1/2022)
       4. Changed: Spotlight uses skin image for missing audio thumbnails.
--------------------------

Weird behavior of Spotlight when successive custom missing thumbnail images NoThumbAudio.png are introduced.  See post #202:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,132517.msg932777.html#msg932777

Resolved:  cncb revealed the solution in response to my cited post:  refresh Spotlight cache with its Update link at bottom of page.

NEW: Add option to open Image Preview when double-clicking an image.

This feature might be useful but it doesn't seem to be working.

If I set or clear the new option I see no change in behavior. A double clicked image is added to playing now and displayed as per the option "Double-click: Add to Playing Now (play now)". The image never opens in preview mode.

Maybe I misunderstand?

JRiver Media Center still not loading at Windows startup.
Last worked with 30.0.30. Now on 30.0.40.
This was reported on 12/3 (see attachment)

I see the same, but, only if the list contains a mix of images and videos. If there's only images, it works as expected.

It's working for me.  Maybe try turning it off and back on to recreate the setting.

[raediant]

Thanks for your attention.
Done. Also tried with and without Media Server. Still no joy.
Will uninstall and reinstall JRiver and see if that works.
If that doesn't work will fresh install trial JRiver on another very similar PC and see what happens.

[Matt]

I was running Media Server.  I just set it to start Media Center and that also worked.

It creates the registry key here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Confirmed. I would like Preview to work with images in mixed lists.

Matt, perhaps while working in this area you could also provide an option to make data files be sent to the default app rather than Playing Now. I've requested variations on this in the past. I would like a convenient way to read imported info files about music I'm playing without disrupting the audio.

This seems to happen when displaying a playlist view and not in a standard Library view.  I will look into this.
