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.exe13.0.108 (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.
