33.0.15 (8/27/2024)

1. NEW: Added PlaylistAdd and PlaylistRemove expression functions.
2. Changed: Playing Now Popup output files are generated when manually showing it.
3. Changed: Playback time is displayed in Popup content when stopped.
4. Fixed: Playing Now Popup would not handle output directory with missing path separator at the end.
5. NEW: Added "time" content item type for Playing Now Popup to display current playback times.
6. Changed: When dragging a file that is already imported into the program it will no longer analyze the file again.
7. Changed: Updated the "New / Improved This Version" to point to v33.
8. Fixed: Popup output image would not include background image when using alternate skin.
9. Changed: Padding channels that are marked as not having data will still be filled with input data by the mixing engine.  So 5.1 with 4 extra playing 10 channel will play the extra channels.
10. Changed: Tooltips for Playing Now Popup show even when it does not have focus.
11. Fixed: Global shortcut setting for Playing Now Popup was not sticking for most installations.

13. Fixed: Playing now popup will no longer grab focus from other apps on track change.
14. Changed:  New libcURL to 8.9.1 to fix internet reader regressions.

33.0.13 (8/15/2024)

1. NEW: Playing Now Popup can output an image or text file for external processing (upload, etc.).
2. Changed: Added option for Playing Now Popup keyboard shortcut to be global.
3. Changed: The keyboard shortcut (Command+I) closes the Playing Now Popup if it is currently displayed.
4. Changed: DSP Presets now include the setting for whether a VST effect should be on or off.
5. Fixed: Loading DSP Presets for conversion could crash when loading some VST3 effects.
6. Changed: [pn_mcversion] can now be used in Playing Now Popup expression to display the current MC version.
7. Changed: Re-designed the refresh rate tracking in JRVR for a more accurate VideoClock behavior.
8. Changed: Added Close to Playing Now Popup context menu.
9. Changed: Library backup when connected to a library server makes a settings only backup (requires only checking the settings box when you restore).
10. Changed: Playing Now Popup skin now accepts BackColor="Transparent" to simulate background transparency for the window.
11. Changed: The extra channels in Parametric Equalizer load the number configured and show exactly that many.
12. Fixed: The Playing Now Popup settings dialog could have multiple instances open.
13 Changed: The order channels Parametric Equalizer effect better supports the new extra channels configurations.
14. Fixed: Showing the playing now popup from the right-click menu Settings could crash when closing the dialog.
15. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukáč).
16. Fixed: Fixed a potential crash when stopping JRVR playback2. Changed: Added option for Playing Now Popup skins to have mouse over ignore transparent areas of images.
17. Fixed: Improved resilience to transient VSYNC measurement changes in JRVR.
18. Fixed: Resolved a timing issue in JRVR that would result in erroneous dropped frames.
19. Fixed: Improved resilience to timing fluctuation in JRVRs new presentation mode.
20. Fixed: Pressing escape after showing all the tag suggestions would not work nicely.
21. Changed: Added an option "Advance tracks when stopping after" so track advancement can be configured.
22. Changed: Re-designed how JRVR interacts with hardware decoders to decouple decoding and rendering.
23. Fixed: Playing Now Popup would grab focus when displayed.
24. Changed: Made some change to font rendering to better preserve monospace behavior in Theater View when mixing different formatting.
25. Fixed: The Playing Now popup could show when reordering tracks in Playing Now.
26. Changed: Switched back to making the new channel system optional since it requires a one-time update to some Parametric Equalizer effects.
27. Changed: The new channel layout system defaults to on (and moved settings, so will need to be turned off when wanted).
28. Changed: Analyzer in DSP Studio includes channels not marked as having data (like extra channels) because they could get filled by other DSP.
29. Changed: Extra channels could appear two ways in Parametric Equalizer.
30. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
31. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
32. Fixed: MC would sometimes crash after moving the Playing Now Popup.
33. Changed: JRVR shows upload and render queue sizes on the OSD for performance tracking.
34. Changed: Added another Playing Now Popup skin that shows 3 tracks (previous, current, next) that can all be rated.
35. Changed: Updated FFmpeg used for video analysis, transcoding, and playback.

42. Changed: Updated Spanish translation (thanks Leandro Botella Penalva).
43. Changed: What was the new extra channels mode in the previous version is now the only extra channels mode.
44. Fixed: Improved rendering of text with italics at large sizes, which could result in some pixels being cut off.
45. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
46. NEW: Added customizable Playing Now popup window that displays at track change and playback resume.  Command+I is the default shortcut to show it manually.

Bob, I'm still getting a brief focus steal when the pop up pops in, although the pop up returns focus when it goes away which is an improvement over the old behavior.  It's most obvious when typing (I wind up pausing and unpausing the music as I type the spaces in whatever I'm typing).  This is on a Gnome Wayland session.

Please provide "official" support for widely used rpm based distros like fedora/red-hat/centos  too instead of just debian. One simply cannot change a distro/desktop (which one chooses according to one's professional  needs ) for an entertainment software .

JRiver only officially supports Debian (which doesn't use/support RPM packages), so I doubt they'd ever start posting RPM packages for distros they don't support. Use the installJRMC script for those platforms.

Just to reinforce AD's point, the InstallJRMC script stickied on this forum supports almost any flavor of Linux you could name, including Fedora, and lots of folks use it.  It's not an official installer, but the maintainer is very active here if you run into any issues.

I can't reproduce that with a non-wayland system. I suspect the layer wayland adds with regards to window creation results in a newly created window temporarily getting focus. MC controls focus by itself and tells the system that is the model it's using. Window creation in X doesn't grab focus by default in this model.

So I just tested in an X11 Gnome session and found that the focus stealing behavior was the same as with Wayland, so it may just be a Gnome (or mutter) specific issue, which is unfortunate.

I couldn't reproduce it in xfce. I might try a small change in the window creation when I get a chance but it really should work as is.
