ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC12/MediaCenter120164.exe12.0.164 (02/06/07)
1. Fixed: WMA importer would only read synchronized lyrics instead of reading both standard or synchronized lyrics. (use Library Tools > Update Library (from tags) to fix)
2. Fixed: Files with large album art could cause the iRiver Clix to hang during upload.
3. Fixed: Files with large album art would not show art on the Zen Vision M.
4. NEW: Added Ctrl+5 as a keyboard shortcut to toggle detaching and reattaching the display.
5. Changed: Allow EXIF time to be read if the EXIF and IPTC dates match (IPTC date tag does not include time).
6. Fixed: Clicking videos inside Video > Google Video didn't show the "Download", "Play", etc. options.
7. NEW: Added a function PadNumber(...) to allow forcing numbers to a certain number of digits. (for example, when renaming, use PadNumber([Track #], 3) to get 001, 002, 003, etc.)
8. NEW: Added the ability to delete albums to the MyGal dialog.
9. Fixed: Scheduled stream recordings did not play SHOUTCast playlists (media type missing).
10. NEW: Choices dialog box for SHOUTcast has option for recording stream.
12.0.163 (02/05/07)
1. Changed: Refined digital TV recording code to try to fix DVB-T recording failure when start recording from a non-time-shifting state.
2. NEW: DVD Lookup/Submission includes cover art.
3. Fixed: TV would error out after scanning for digital channels and before saving the scanned channels (introduced in build 162).
4. Fixed: DVD Lookup would display "DVD not found" error too often (such as during Theater View)
5. Fixed: An MP3 that was playing could not be transferred to a WMDM device.
6. Fixed: Transferring a handheld cancel could fail when conversions were in progress. (especially with 4 running at a time)
7. Fixed: Sorting the "Status" column during a handheld upload (and possibly other status related actions) could cause a hang.
8. Optimized: Improved how responsive Media Center is while performing handheld uploads with several conversions running at once.
9. Fixed: The "Web Media" toolbar button would not work properly.
12.0.162 (02/02/07)
1. NEW: View layouts can be applied to their child views using the view drop menu at the top of every view. (mouse over the view title text to see)
2. Fixed: DVB-T TV would hang on scanning or tuning.
3. Changed: (Experimental) A new method for obtaining digital TV signal strength for both ATSC and DVB-T TV.
4. Changed: More tweaks in DVB-T tuning.
12.0.161 (02/01/07)
1. NEW: (Experimental) Attempt to add desired audio component to a tune request before submitting the request for DVB-T TV.
2. Fixed: DVB-T channel scanning could not be canceled.
3. NEW: Clicking SHOUTcast selects brings up (optional) choices box.
4. Fixed: Minor logging bug in TV.
5. Changed: DVB-T will try activate desired audio stream even though DirectShow reports that it is already active.
6. Changed: Digital TV Channel switching event handler is protected by critical section.
7. Fixed: Columns for renamed library fields couldn't be nicely removed using the "Columns" menu available at the top of the view. (or by right-click)
8. NEW: The "Columns" menu has "Add Expression Column..." at the top of it.
9. Fixed: Some "Logging" changes wouldn't take effect until a program restart.
10. Fixed: Certain MP3s could cause a crash during iPod upload.
11. NEW: Added "Presets" to view header title menu to allow saving and loading all view settings. (columns, sorting, thumb sizes, etc.)
12. NEW: Playlist views inherit view settings from their parent groups. This allows making lots of playlists (or new playlists) all look the same.
(Pick Preset > Default to reset a playlist so it falls back to the group's settings)
(You can also customize an individual playlist inside a group)
13. NEW: Library specific options like auto-import folders get stored with a backup.
14. Fixed: View scheme view settings are no longer tied to view scheme names. (so renaming or moving a view scheme won't discard settings)
NOTE: Columns, sorting, and thumbnail sizes will be reset with this build. This is to accomodate
all of the view setting related changes. (presets, playlist inheritance, more robust library view storage, etc.)
Sorry for any inconvenience.

1. Changed: Revised how web page script errors are suppressed so that other (sometimes necessary) messages aren't also suppressed.
