32.0.23 (3/7/2024)

1. Changed: When loading images for Theater View backdrop, images that do not have a language specification is considered a match, in addition to those that match the required language strictly.
2. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
3. Fixed: Recordings made on Google Pixel phones are properly identified as Home Videos.
4. Fixed: MC Television properties page (TV Options) tried to error check recording settings (in particular, folders for TV recordings) even if recording option was off.
5. Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.7.
6. Changed: Tuned the JRVR Peak Detection parameters to be more conservative to reduce noticeable brightness changes from dynamic tone mapping.
7. Changed: When image face-tagging is finished, the [People] field is automatically updated.
8. Changed: Updated Chinese (simplified) translation file (thanks YanJun Sun).

11. Fixed: The setting "Allow custom data to override the expression" did not allow itself to be turned off.
12. Changed: Updated the new / improved this version link to v32.
13. Fixed: Navigating a view could switch the focus to the tree instead of the file lists.
14. Changed: Moved the numbers to the start of the navigation alphabet (since they come before letters in the sorting).

19. Changed: The links tracks command disables when only one track is selected (when it's in the MRU menu).
20. Changed: More MCWS functions have the parameter NoUI to put the player in error free mode (and all default to true) (playback from JRemote is less likely to show an error, etc.).

22. Fixed: Missing director images were messing up Theater View movie file template cast display.

9. Changed: Minor tweak to volume protection so that it works more evenly.

tried update from apt but got timeout from the jriver apt server. So downloaded and installed manually from ARM64 deb package linked here. After upgraded it asked for license again but my libraries still intact. Not sure what happened.

Yeah, it appears that the repo is currently down.
