http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter130169.exe

13.0.169 (05/12/2009)

1. Fixed: French DVB-T television tuning did not work.
2. Fixed: Changing television channel using OSD menu did not work unless Enter key was pressed within 2 seconds of displaying the channel info.  Now it should work as long as the channel info is in display (5 seconds).

13.0.168 (05/11/2009)

1. Changed: Increased the maximum memory size of loadable PNG images from 256 MB to 1 GB.
2. Fixed: Installer now displays JRiver when viewed in explorer.
3. NEW: OSD Menu handles Enter key.  It can be used to execute certain commands when OSD menu is in display.  Only implemented for televison channel switching and for showing DVD Menu.
4. Changed: Television "Programs" OSD menu will no longer automatically switch to last displayed program.
5. Changed: OSD menu stays on screen for longer time.
6. Fixed: When converting CUE files, the resulting filename could be incorrect.
7. Fixed: Converting using the external encoder could use a .dat extension instead of the extension specified in options.
8. Fixed: Some VST Plug-ins could crash or work incorrectly.
9. Fixed: The help links on pages like "Playlists" didn't jump to the correct location in the wiki.

13.0.167 (05/07/2009)

1. Fixed: ID3v2 tagging could discard the # tracks / # discs portion of the track # and disc # when tagging.
2. Fixed: When first installing a VST Plug-in, it was not possible to enable it for processing without restarting playback.
3. Fixed: VST Plug-ins that exposed more inputs and outputs than the current output format could crash.
4. Fixed: When pausing audio playback, if it performed buffering while paused, it could switch the playback state back to play.
5. Fixed: Setting the mute value to -1 (to mean true) from the automation SDK did not work nicely.
6. Fixed: Television channel scanning did not work for the last few builds.

13.0.166 (05/06/2009)

1. Fixed: With the ripping option to overwrite existing files enabled some encoders would not work. (only applies to last few builds)
2. Fixed: Using incomplete math syntax like "3 /" or "2+1+" could cause problems in expressions.
3. Changed: DSP Plug-ins are always loaded from the main user interface. (solves problems with plugins that create user interface at load instead of when requested by Media Center like DFX)
4. Optimized: Improved performance of JRiver edit / expression controls.

13.0.165 (05/05/2009)

1. Changed: Upgrades to HTML parser used for RSS feeds in Theater View. (Yahoo! News, The Onion, etc.)
2. Changed: Improved Theater View's support of The Onion in the News plug-in.
3. Changed: The burn complete dialog that prompts for Burn / Print Label / Quit is not shown if the burn completes while in Display View or Theater View.
4. Changed: When Theater View is showing, Standard View style wait messages will not appear.
5. Changed: Pressing the space bar on a JRiver style button, checkbox, etc. will be considered a click.
6. Fixed: Theater View's Weather configuration dialog did not support tabbed navigation.

13.0.164 (05/04/2009)

1. Fixed: Showing Theater View on systems without DirectX 9 (or later) installed could cause a crash.
2. Fixed: WMA encoding would not work properly on a fresh install (only applies to the last few builds).
3. Fixed: Encoding could crash in certain cases (only applies to the last few builds).
4. Changed: If television is configured to automatically refresh the programming guide, it will do so once a day OR if there are no programs available (retries every 30 minutes if there are no programs).
5. Changed: Shortened the portable install description in the installer so it fits better with larger fonts.
6. Changed: Switched the Austria country code used for mc2xml to AT.
7. NEW: Added CD burning in Theater View. (use "Burn" item in roller of any file view)
8. NEW: Added CD ripping in Theater View. (pick "DVD" with an audio CD in the drive and then select "Rip disc")
9. Fixed: Corrected a typo on the new Converter options page.
10. Changed: Reverted to also looking in the legacy Media Jukebox location for DSP Plug-ins to better support DFX, etc.
11. Fixed: When installing a new skin from a webpage, the change did not take effect until restarting the program.
12. Fixed: Album grouping / album expansion could cause problems when using Google Images from the Links bar to set the cover art for a video.

13.0.163 (05/01/2009)

1. NEW: Revamped Converter, so that it has nicer options and the ability to process up to 8 files at the same time.
2. NEW: Added a "Programs" OSD menu item for television.  Left/right arrows cycle through Favorite Channels (or all channels if you have no favorite channels) with Now/Next program info.  MC automatically switches to the last channel you stop at.
3. Fixed: Playing Now / playlists lists could empty and not refresh properly in certain cases. (only applies to last couple of builds)
4. Changed: Revised the internal system that provides ideal sizes for controls when laying out user interface. (should be internal change, but please report any issues)
5. Fixed: Extremely loud sound was produced when playing an audio track that was mistyped as non-audio while Volume Leveling was turned on.

13.0.162 (04/30/2009)

1. NEW: Added native support for VST plug-ins.  Add plug-ins in Plug-in Manager and configure inside DSP Studio.
2. Changed: Television OSD channel/program info display uses bold and italic font for words "Playing now:"/"Recording now:" and "Next:".
3. Changed: The "Add Plug-in" button in Plug-in Manager will prompt for UAC elevation so plugins get registered as administrator (where they have proper HKLM registry access).
4. Changed: Renamed "out_MJ.dll" to "out_Main.dll" and "dsp_MJMain.dll" to "out_Main.dll" for consistency. (should be internal change, but please report any issues)
5. Optimized: DSP plug-ins are only loaded when enabled or viewed, so having a long list of installed DSPs (VST, Winamp, or JRiver) has no performance impact.
6. Changed: Revised how plug-ins that contain multiple plug-ins inside a single DLL register themselves to accommodate #5. (each plug-in uses its own registry key instead of all plugins sharing a key and the program loading and enumerating at run time)
7. Changed: DSP plug-ins installed to the legacy location (Media Jukebox) are no longer loaded.
8. NEW: Added a status in DSP Studio to show if a plug-in is processing data, if it failed to load, if it doesn't support the input format, etc.

13.0.161 (04/29/2009)

1. Changed: Picking a zone-specific Playing Now (introduced in build 160) also switches to that zone.
2. Fixed: In certain cases, running two JRiver players at once could cause some COM-based plugins to fail to work properly.

13.0.160 (04/28/2009)

1. Changed: Improved Theater View television view for dealing with live television (renamed "Channels" to "Live TV", better integrated guide data, etc.)
2. Changed: The "Big Screen" roller item in Theater View's Playing Now no longer appears when nothing is playing.
3. Changed: Pressing enter on a navigation roller item in Theater View with no function will do the same as pressing the down button.
4. Changed: After loading programming guide data for television, program cover art will be automatically downloaded in the background. (will only run automatically, at most, every 14 days)
5. NEW: Added support for command line switch /NoDependencies to installer to bypass installation of third-party dependencies like DirectX tools DLL, etc.
6. NEW: Added new repeat mode "Stop After Every Item", which can be useful in DJ settings.
7. Fixed: MC would hang when moved to a different monitor while time-shifting on a television channel.
8. Fixed: The Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool did not allow semi-colons in output filenames.
9. NEW: When multiple zones are configured, each zone will show up under "Playing Now" in the tree.  This allows linking tabs or split views to different zones.  Activating these views also switches the active zone. [experimental -- may not remain]
10. Fixed: A large MP3 of all binary 0's could cause the analyzer to crash.

13.0.159 (04/27/2009)

1. Fixed: Playing a file from Theater View when another file was playing could just show the playing file in some cases (only applies to build 158).
2. Fixed: Deleting a television program or scheduling a recording from Theater View using the roller could cause a crash.
3. Fixed: Text spacing in CD ripping progress action window was wrong.
4. Fixed: Explorer view would go bonkers when faced with thousands of folders within one directory.
5. Changed: Country, Producer fields are available for all media types.
6. Changed: Country, Producer, and Screenwriter fields are changed to list type.
7. Fixed: Some comboboxes would not properly draw their drop arrow when disabled.
8. Fixed: When doing a Quick Search (F3), a partially visible thumbnail would not be made wholly visible.
9. Changed: View customization allows list grouping and album thumbnails in smartlists and playlist groups. (but not possible in ordered lists like a playlist or Playing Now since it would fight with the ordering)
10. Changed: Added Windows 7 compatibility section to executable manifests; prevents Program Compatibility Assistant popups on install, etc.
11. Changed: When importing television recordings, the time of the show is rounded to the nearest 5 minutes to make it better coincide with the program starting time.

6. Fixed: When converting CUE files, the resulting filename could be incorrect.

Thanks for that. It works now.

Was dragging an image to re-order it in a playlist and an alert box poped up saying tagging error (was trying to tag a file on a drive that had been removed ages ago - no idea why on earth it is trying to tag these files as they haven't been played in two days and MC has been closed since then!)
Anyway, thats it, the file didn't re-order and the box wont go away, MC is crashed.

Minor issue shows itself at times here,

When I first open MC it will sometimes show Playing Now as being empty in spite of my having left it full when MC was closed.

Changing to another branch in the tree, then back to Playing Now and it is no longer empty but properly shows all the files left in Playing Now at last closing.

This does not happen every time I open MC, but frequently enough to report.

Conversion to Musepack doesn't seem to work. I tried converting some FLAC files to MPC with the custom command line "--quality 8" (which has worked previously) and MC tells me: "Failed to convert 12 files. Please ensue that your files exist, and are of a supported audio format." It does create a bunch of "Temporary Convert File"'s in the directory which I asked it to convert to, though - each one has the correct extension (.mpc) but is less than 100 bytes.
