"The SDK function MJZonesAutomation::GetActiveZone(...) was returning a zone ID instead of a zone index."
Thx. It's fixed.

The field "Search for Library Servers" is still not translated. I've been reporting this for many many months if not years already but it is still shown in English no matter what language is set in MC (e.g. the string seems to be translatable being in the language file however MC for some reason does not reflect it).
Could you Jim / Matt please either fix it finally or at least tell me why it did not happen yet? It is really tiring to report the same issue again and again and not to get any attention at all for such a long time...

5. Changed: 3D album views adjust the size of the text used on the back to hold far more tracks when necessary.

Finally we can view more then 10 tracks! Is there any way of capping the minimum text size and make it scrollable also? It's kinda hard to see the text then the size is to small. 30-40 tracks get's really small. At 40 and above it's about impossible to read at a distance.

There may be a problem with the IRMan plugin.

on 14.0.19 my remote worked, and it still works in mc13.

After relearning the commands in 14.0.32, nothing happens when I try to use the rc.
