This is an early version of MC 14.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

14.0.11 (06/10/2009)

1. NEW: Added write support to Library Server to allow bidirectional communication of any number of clients with a single server.  When connected to a Library Server, use the command File > Library > Sync Library... to write any changes made on the client back to the server, and also update the client from the server if necessary.  Expect automation in a future build.
2. Changed: When connecting the a Library Server, the Filename is no longer updated to show a URL -- instead this happens internally at playback time.
3. Fixed: Playing recorded television show or starting to watch a television channel while MC was doing scheduled recording could have long silence (up to 100 seconds) and (to lesser extent) paused video, if MC was on second monitor when playback started.
4. Fixed: Moving MC from one monitor to another while playing a recorded television show would cause audio and video to pause for a long time.
5. Fixed: MCE remote controls work again (support was temporarily disabled while building new remote system in early builds).

14.0.10 (06/09/2009)

1. NEW: Many improvements to using Media Center as a remote for another Media Center. (shows what's playing, next, previous, stop, seeking, and volume work)
2. Changed: Updated the Chinese language file (thanks to Katapa).
3. Changed: When an encoder needs to download a supporting file on first use, it could show two UAC prompts instead of one.
4. Changed: When emailing log files, a string is placed at the top of the message asking users to provide a description or link (it's hard to know what to do with logs with no context).
5. Changed: Quicktime file types (except mov, qt, m4p, and m4b) that are set to use "Automatic" Playback Method will be played using DirectShow instead of Quicktime engine if needed DirectShow filters are found on the computer.
6. Changed: Increased timeout used when searching for Library Servers.
7. Fixed: In some cases, searching for a Library Server could find a server running on the local machine, causing a possible circular reference.
8. Fixed: Creation of ZIP file with subfolders could fail to be unzipped on Linux (caused problems with Pix01 galleries).

14.0.9 (06/05/2009)

1. NEW: Many improvements to search suggestion engine (adds instructions, common searches, etc.)
2. Changed: Version 14 no longer functions with a version 13 license.
3. Optimized: Improved performance of thumbnail lists.
4. Fixed: Miscellaneous fixes in the remote control options dialog. Please select "Restore Default List" after installing this build.

14.0.8 (06/04/2009)

1. Fixed: Flickr uploader was failing on wide characters.
2. Fixed: Facebook uploader should be utf-8 safe.
3. Fixed: Inconsistent database filename was used when importing DVDs by "Import Playlist..." tool with My Movies data.
4. Fixed: Theater View News and Weather plugins were not appearing.
5. Fixed: When sorting a list, the selection would not remain visible.
6. NEW: Added web service interface (REST based) to library server.  Use the URL [library server address]/MCWS/v1/doc or [library server address]/MCWS/v1/wsdl to see documentation. (still a work in progress)
7. NEW: When connecting to Library Server, a user can choose to make playback happen on the server instead of locally.

WOW, requesting this since v11, wonderful

I had the remote control set up to control a key on my keyboard with the last version. Installing this version lost that setting and I had to relearn it. Hope that's not the way it's supposed to work with every install of a new version.

After restore my MC13 db from backup to MC14 i have strange glitches with Panes views:
in my Panes - Album Thumbnails scheme i see thumbnails for each track, like in Panes and Thumbnails view. But if i choice Panes and Thumbnails - i have Panes - Album Thumbnails... But if i close scheme and open again - its always Panes and Thumbnails style..
Its for all my albums, VA and not, and i don't have this problem with my 13 db.

Setting a view scheme to show 'Panes and Album Thumbnails' actually shows 'Panes and Thumbnails' (individual track thumbs),
while setting a View Scheme to show 'Panes and Thumbnails' actually shows 'Panes and Album Thumbnails'

Dual Tuner card didn't seem to be working properly when I tried last night.

I did a new scan for channels on the primary tuner of the card. Normally, the second tuner would pick up on these channels as well.

Started recording one channel, went to change channels and got the "Do you wish to stop recording" message...

When I select 'Import', I can select a directory and press 'finish'
how can I select, which filetypes I want to import ? (i.e. in MC 13, I could select only mp3, not jpg)

In the initial import, there is a button for this.  Modify?

You could set it up for auto-import.

MC 14 keeps randomly Crashing, I assume its having trouble reading a file in the background as it happens when im out of the room and MC isn't playing anything, just sitting open at any screen. Its happened about 8 times in the last day. Let me know where to mail the log and ill send it over, and if it indicates a suspect file, let me know and ill send that in also, im sure its something stupid with a file on my system.

Are you running any third party plug-ins or programs?

You can send to matt at jriver with a link to your post.

I was tagging some images with MC14 and it locked up. I had to end the process with Task Manager.
