12.0.383 (11/30/07)
1. NEW: Added expression function Tag(...) that reads the physical file tag for a value instead of looking in the database. (will be much slower than field access so use with care)
Documentation for expression functions here:
http://wiki.jrmediacenter.com/index.php/Media_Center_expression_language2. NEW: When requesting a tag field from a JPEG with the Tag(...) expression, you can put "IPTC: ", "XMP: ", "EXIF: ", or "MJMD: " in front of the tag field to force reading from only that tag. ( i.e. Tag(XMP: Date) )

4. NEW: Dates like 2007-08-03 9p now parse correctly
5. Changed: Updated the Czech language file.

5. Fixed: Restart TV time-shifting player on monitor change, or on menu command, did not preserve paused state.

8. NEW: Added the abiltity to sync back play stats (play count and ratings) for WMDM devices (devices that don't show up as drives)
NOTE 1: This will slow down reading the files on the device.
NOTE 2: This doesn't work yet for Windows Mobile devices.
