33.0.71 (3/3/2025)
1. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
33.0.62 (1/28/2025)
1. Changed: Made appending vs replacing optional for tag on import rules.
2. Fixed: Some URLs could have data parsed as the extension improperly causing playback to fail.
3. Fixed: The Tag Action Window could jump unexpectedly when accepting values.
4. Fixed: Dropping out of full screen mode from the main UI. Needs testing!
5. Fixed: Disable full screen system button for mini-view.
6. Fixed: Use zoom/maximize button instead of full screen on all windows other than the main UI which is the normal behavior for all platforms.
33.0.61 (1/23/2025)
1. NEW: The expand smartlist modifier can take an expression (put it in quotes like "[Artist] - [Album]" or just type it in the editor).
2. Changed: Removed the two pixel overlap for menus because it caused menus with borders to draw inconsistently depending on which menu is on top.
3. Changed: Opening the image editor from a locked tab no longer opens the editor in a locked tab.
4. Fixed: Corrected a couple more unintentional skin changes in the last few builds.
5. Fixed: Audio Path could report "not using enough bits to output the input directly" when playing DSD incorrectly.
6. Changed: Subtitle size applies to SSA/ASS subtitles, if possible.
7. Fixed: Edit backgrounds in a few other skins corrected since update a couple builds back (thanks EnglishTiger).
8. Fixed: The edit background of Modern Cards Dark was incorrect after the skin changes last build.
9. NEW: Added the ability to override the path used by library server clients for local media playback (Media Network -> Advanced).
10. Changed: The rendering order of popup menus is revised slightly so transparency will no longer include stale submenus.
11. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
12. Changed: Updated all skins to provide better documentation in the XML (thanks EnglishTiger).
13. Fixed: The CompareDates expression function was broken for a build since the 86400 cutoff was added.
14. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
15. Fixed: Resolved a crash in Spotlight recommendations when a movie or show contained a semicolon in the name.
33.0.56 (1/9/2025)
1. NEW: Added a command line switch to skip over database auto upgrades upon first run of a new major version when there is no database. The option is /SkipLibraryUpgrade. Invoked from Terminal on Mac thusly: /Applications/Media\ Center\ 33.app/Contents/MacOS/Media\ Center\ 33 /SkipLibraryUpgrade. Removing ~/Library/Application\ Support/J\ River/Media\ Center\ 33 and then running MC with the /SkipLibraryUpgrade switch will start with a fresh empty library, no update from previous version, no license.
2. Fixed: The alt+number shortcuts to switch between views could stick at library views instead of switch.
3. Fixed: Another possible crash cancelling external encodes.
4. NEW: Added a mode to the Now expression to return the seconds since 1970 instead of days since 1900.
5. Changed: Made FormatDate and CompareDates interpret any number over 86400 as a time value instead of days since 1900.
6. Changed: Updated Chinese (simplified) language file (thanks YanJun Sun).
7. Changed: Minor change to how 8 and 9 channel audio is reported to VST3 plugins (solves a HLC issue).
8. Changed: Added support for W64 and BW64 file extensions (previously they would only work when named WAV).
9. Fixed: Cancel of external encoders could not cancel nicely, then hard kill the thread after ten seconds, then crash.
10. Changed: Updated copyrights to 2025.
11. Fixed: "Show Playing Now" from PNP menu would not work when main UI was not in Standard View.
12.
NEW: MC is hooked up to the OS Control Center for metadata display and playback control.. Needs feedback.
13.
Changed: If an audio device is removed from the system (like a USB DAC), MC will not save the default core audio device for that zone as the new device to open. Allows the devices to come and go.33.0.53 (12/19/2024)
1. Changed: Added a 4 flag to the new ShellRun expression to output nothing.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese (simplified) language file (thanks YanJun Sun).
3. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
4. Fixed: Genius was not working for lyrics lookup.
5. Changed: Updated German translation file (thanks Bytestar).
6. Changed: When deleting files, the option to track the removed file is now optional (they're tracked by default so re-import maintains all the data, unchecking the new option makes the files really go away).
7. Fixed: Text with custom font sizes in the PNP was drawing too small on Windows OS. Will require tweaking of custom font sizes if skin was designed on Windows.
8.
Changed:
MC now displays and uses system close, minimize, and full screen buttons instead of the skinned ones. "Cover View" now switches to full screen. Experimental, needs feedback.
33.0.51 (12/12/2024)
1. Fixed: Clicking dock icon would not show MC if the PNP was showing.
2. Fixed: Selecting Show Playing Now from the PNP context menu when MC was minimized would not work.
3. Fixed: Unchecking "always on top" for the PNP wasn't working, the popup always took precedence.
4. Changed: Updated Live555 to the latest version.
5. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
6. Changed: Playing Now popup settings remembers the position.
7. NEW: When dragging over tabs, the tab switch is delayed. Settle on the tab for a little and it will switch but not when just passing over.
33.0.49 (12/5/2024)
1. Changed: MCWS File/GetFilledTemplate requires authentication since expressions can be used to run things now.
2.
Changed: This beta build uses alternate internet reader code that eliminates the native apple internet reader code that may have issues with hanging on newer MacOS versions (Sonoma). Needs Feedback!!3. Changed: Expand All Under in the tree is not shown for library views because they can be incredibly slow on large libraries.
4. Fixed: When going into a library view that doesn't need the alphabet, space will no longer be reserved for it anyway. It also comes and goes as you change the search.
5. Changed: When calling ShellRun, it will return the result if you block.
6. Fixed: ShellRun was not checking the number of arguments.
7. Changed: Updated all translations to the latest strings from the code.
8. Fixed: The Playing Now popup could show for the wrong file when playing on a client.
9. Fixed: Playing Now did not show when first starting playback of a file that was already selected.
10. NEW: PNP screen position presets (top-left, bottom-right, etc.) are selectable in the Settings. The default is bottom right, but a custom position can still be set with the Move menu item.
11. Changed: If the PNP is disabled in the Settings, the popup is closed when the Settings dialog is closed.
12. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukáč).
13. NEW: Added a before playback expression.
14. NEW: Added a ShellRun expression.

19. Fixed: Internal. Builds can return more symbols in Apple crash dumps than previously when we distribute a beta build.
33.0.44 (11/22/2024)
1. Fixed: Corrupt DSD files could crash the decoder.
2. Changed: PNP will show on startup based on the "Pop up even when playback is stopped" setting.
3. Changed: PNP re-uses open popup and slightly delays first draw to try to avoid "flashing".
4. Fixed: The WMA plugin could crash on paths over 260 characters.
5. Changed: Update Tags works on files with slashes reversed from the normal for the platform.
6. Fixed: Decoding DSD files that were corrupt could crash.
7. Changed: Add option for PNP to pop up even when playback is stopped (defaults to no).
8. NEW: Added a ZoneSwitch toolbar button to turn it on and off.
9. Changed: The new Playing Now DLNA tree item no longer includes hidden zones.
