30.0.66 (2/21/2023)

1. NEW: Added the "Video Scan" field to indicate if a video is "Progressive" or "Interlaced".
2. Changed: Audio with odd sample rates will be automatically resampled to a common rate.
3. Changed: When the SSRC resampler fails to load (due to an unsupported sample rate), SoX will be used instead.
4. Changed: When the FormatNumber expression crops a value to 0 because of the decimal places, the empty display will be shown.
5. NEW: Added a Decimal expression function to convert to dot for a number.
6. Changed: Made the expression editor popup remember window positioning.
7. Changed: Updated the default tag window templates with the new video fields.
8. Changed: Importing/Exporting all tag window templates will write the correct template version, and validate it on import.
9. Changed: Made the sign of zero from the math evaluator output 1 (instead of 0).
10. NEW: Added a customization option to the Tag window to show All Fields With Values (including read-only fields).
11. NEW: Added the ability to customize the flush after stop issued to VST plugins.
12. Fixed: When showing television guide by time in Theater View ("This evening", "Tomorrow morning", "Tomorrow afternoon", etc.) a random program could be selected when entering the grid view, instead of the program showing at the upper left corner.

30.0.65 (2/17/2023)

1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
3. Changed: The ConvertDate expression function accepts more than one parameter again and just ignores everything after the first (unless it's 3 or 6 since that's the new format).
4. Changed: Theater View web page keyboard control: Escape key now acts as "back" and mouse cursor movement is accelerated when holding down on directional arrow keys.  Optional Theater View customization when adding a web page to the menu.

30.0.64 (2/17/2023)

1. Fixed: Various improvements to AC-4 audio decoding, including fixed channel mapping and improvements to audio timing to reduce glitches in playback.  For ATSC 3.0 TV.
2. Changed: Updated FFmpeg to 5.1, used for file analysis and transcoding.
3. NEW: Video Analysis can now identify "immersive" Atmos and DTS:X audio tracks.
4. NEW: Crop (Black Bar) detection has been added to Video Analysis.
5. Fixed: Video analysis would not fill the "HDR Mastering Color Space" field.

30.0.63 (2/15/2023)

1. Fixed: Some VST3 plugins provided multiple entrypoints and so would crash when the older style entrypoint was initialized first.
2. Fixed: Running "Analyse Video" or "Update Library (from Tags)" on Video files could reset the rating stored in the database.
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 9.15.  Faster AVX assembly runs on all platforms, AVX-512 is used when available, and speed-ups across the board.
4. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
5. Changed: Added sorting of phrases to the translation files (and updated all translations).
6. Changed: VST plugins are only checked for VST3 if the extension is VST3.
7. NEW: Added option for Theater View web pages to display full screen with the direction arrows and OK/Enter for navigation.

30.0.62 (2/14/2023)

1. Fixed: Sat>IP channels might not have been loaded correctly from an m3u channel list file if the file specified modulation type (mtype) in upper case letters (e.g. "mtype=QPSK" instead of "mtype=qpsk").
2. Fixed: Sat>IP channel scan wizard did not properly load the user-supplied channel list m3u file.
3. NEW: Running MCC commands from the launcher can take a string by surrounding with single quotes (example: MC30.exe /MCC 22043,'Video\YouTube').
4. NEW: Added MCC MCC_THEATER_VIEW_PATH (22043) to allow selecting a path in Theater View.
5: NEW: Added a Library Tool to run extended Video Analysis.

11. Changed: Removed the custom expressions "TVInfo(ChannelKeywords)" and "TVInfo(IsOnNonTopGroupedChannel)" from the default Theater View Television Guide setup since they are now handled differently and more efficiently.

Changed: Audio with odd sample rates will be automatically resampled to a common rate.

Please explain what this means...  Thank You.

Implemented for AC-4 audio found in ATSC 3.0 tv stations, see:

One thing you might want to check is that Output Format is enabled and resampling to a reasonable rate. AC-4 has this peculiar thing that audio uses very obscure sample rates and you are supposed to resample it to a common rate as needed. But the decoder does not do that yet and would rely on Media Center to do that instead.
The easiest setting would be to set both 44.1 and 48k to resample to 44.1 and 48k respectively in output format. This wont cause resampling for any normal audio, but will resample the oddball AC-4 files.

I might look into doing that transparently.

[Peter DK]

In "Audio Only Mode" "Player>More Stop>Stop After X Tracks (it asks)" does not work. It asks for the number of tracks, but MC30 ignores the answer. This has been working fine in earlier versions, so please fix this in MC30.
Best regards from Peter

Check Soundspectrum registry settings.  I recall something that required adding new versions of MC.

Thanks, Jim, I'll give that a look.

I would still love to see Milk Drop in MC. Actually, I seem to recall that being accomplished at one time back in like MC-something-teen or early twenty-something. Unfortunately, a search of Interact did not reveal it to me.
