Media Center 13.0.108 -- Available Here
« on: January 17, 2009, 09:44:13 am »

This is the latest version of MC 13.0.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

This latest build (usually safe) of MC13.0 is here:
ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/MC13/MediaCenter130108.exe

13.0.108 (01/16/2009)

1. Optimized: Some system update components that are only needed once and only needed on certain machines are downloaded at install time only instead of included with the build.
2. Changed: The Media Center installer will no longer update the Windows Media format runtimes to v11.0 on XP machines.  Use Windows Update to update your machine.
3. Fixed: When the core JRTools.dll version changed, shell extensions could lock JRTools, requiring a reboot to install. (could still happen with this build, but won't again)
4. Optimized: Changes to core components to reduce the size of included DLLs and EXEs.

13.0.107 (01/15/2009)

1. Optimized: New build compression system used that provides smaller builds and faster installs.
2. Optimized: Application icon uses compressed PNG for the largest format. (should be internal change, but please report any problems)
3. Fixed: The new database format in build 106 could drop the last run of values in some fresh import cases.
4. Fixed: DSP Studio would not size correctly for some non-stock DSP plugins.
5. NEW: Added "Show Status..." under Television > Configure... to show the status of each television device and what recording actions are queued.
6. Fixed: Pausing/unpausing a TV show while it was being recorded by TV recording manager would cause TV to report its state as "not recording", which would cause several problems.
7. Fixed: Television recording could crash when "Use FFDShow for post processing" option was on.

13.0.106 (01/14/2009)

1. Optimized: Updated database format to use 35% - 70% less space on disk, and load and save faster. (MC will upgrade the database format, so all players sharing the library must be upgraded)
2. Fixed: ATSC Digital TV EPG scanning would crash if digital channels list in registry was empty.
3. Fixed: The bookmark for TV recording was not saved to database when recording was done.
4. Changed: Revised interface of equalizer DSP plugin and removed dependency on MFC for faster loads and less memory usage.
5. Fixed: Sometimes TV was put in the wrong state after a monitor change.
6. Fixed: The file list below a thumbnail view would not respect user configured sorting. (configure in Customize View > Bottom > Sort By)
7. Fixed: Installing a Winamp 2.x input plugin could cause a crash.
8. Optimized: Switched internal dependencies of DSP plugins and DSP studio to only use JRiver libraries. (internal change, but provides better performance and more standard user interface)

13.0.105 (01/09/2009)

1. Fixed: Scheduling a television recording to extend far past the end of a program, then configuring that recording by picking a later program that is also included could cause problems.
2. Fixed: Theater View could show partial items when scrolling near the bottom of the list.
3. Changed: News and Weather Theater View plugins look smoother when scrolling through lists.
4. NEW: Added Jokes4All source for reading jokes from Theater View (now that Comedy Central only provides one joke a day).
5. NEW: Added ability to read Engadget posts to Theater View's News plugin. (use Set Source on the News screen to change sources)
6. Changed: When watching a TV channel that is currently being recorded, MC will not jump to the "live" position. Instead, it will go to the earliest available position when the channel is initially being watched. The current position being watched is bookmarked so that the next time the channel is watched (while the recording is still going on), MC will pick up from where it was left the last time.

13.0.104 (01/08/2009)

1. Fixed: MC Command MCC_PLAY_TV did not always start last played TV channel.
2. Fixed: When stopping WASAPI playback on certain hardware, the soundcard could continue playing a burst of noise in a loop. (hopefully fixed, please let us know)
3. Changed: Tuned Theater View scrollbar spacing / sizing.
4. Fixed: Text drawing in some areas of the program could draw with the incorrect color.
5. Changed: View header / view tabs font could look overly bold with some skins.
6. Changed: Some message boxes could appear overly wide.  Also, very large message boxes could put the OK button off the screen.
7. Fixed: Flac input plugin was adding 6db to replay gain tag when writing the tags. Reverted to previous behavior. To correct the bad tags, do "update tags from library"
8. Fixed: Clicking on the main program while a modal dialog was showing would not always bring the modal dialog to the front of other windows or blink the modal dialog.
9. Optimized: Database loading is faster.

This build is about 25% smaller because some components are now downloaded only on demand.  The changes should not affect most users.

A minor annoyance occuring since long ago:
With each use of the Analyze Audio window it "creeps" in size, growing larger and taking up more screen real-estate until I finally re-size it again, at which time we begin the circlular journey once again.

I can't get this update to fly with Windows 7.  104 was chuggin' along nicely.  This crashes as soon as I try to play a file.

The shortcut described in help, "Ctlr - U" to Toggle List Style, still does not work in Theater View...

On the first start after upgrading to build 108 all files in my library were shown to be not accessible and I could not use drag and drop to place external files in "Playing Now". A restart of MC solved the problem.

TV Recording > Right Click > Delete > Permanently Delete From Disk

Only deletes .jts file itself, not the directory, leaving all the other files on the drive...

M4A files don't play in MC13, but play with MC12 with DC_Bass filter.

I've double checked settings and everything is identical for MC12/MC13.

Same system, same settings...maybe I'm missing something.

Maybe you are missing something  ;)

There is a new setting in MC13 called "File Types". Tools -> Options -> "File Types".  Select "m4a" type, and make sure "JRiver audio engine (using DirectShow)" is selected in the "Playback Method" drop-down list.

Hi!

I think i have notice a Bug..
I Installed x.108 and (upgrade from previous version) on 2 different computers and have save fault on both

in "DSP Studio" I change "Virtual Subwoofer" and left DSP then i go back the config hasent changed and you can neither hear any sound changes when you change value.
It looks like the value you have before upgrade to x.108 is permanent.


The other value in DSP function as normal

I am finding that this build and the one previous will crash MC13 completely during audio analysis. It doesn't happen all the t9ime and it isn't the files themselves as a second attempt will get through the file.

jgourd,
Check MC's log (under Help) and start a new thread.  It could be a bad DirectShow filter.
