3. Changed: When playing with Tremote or DLNA control, the position slider will move more smoothly.
4. Fixed: Some codecs (flac for example) were reported as "Unknown Media Type" in Compression field (build 124 only).
5. Changed: DLNA servers and renderers provide more formats of images for support in more devices.
6. Fixed: DLNA information packets didn't contain the DLNA namespace, causing parsing errors with some devices.
7. Optimized: Switched DLNA view to a dynamic-data list control for better performance.

2. Optimized: MC can better deal with occasional corrupt time-stamp data during playback of television time-shifting/recording files.

4. Changed: When controlling a DLNA device, metadata is provided to the device for display during playback.

14.0.117 (12/22/2009)

Still blows away my working VST plugin from .101 onward. Same symptoms

See my previous post here:

Thanks.

2. Fixed: Huge delay at startup for Silicondust HDHomerun and DNTV Live! Tiny USB2 BDA television tuners.

This sounds excellent!

Undo does not work stacking. Maybe this is a feature request, not a bug, but it is natural feature to expect.

Unfortunately, I learned the missing feature the hard way, when I selected the whole library, selected "Stack" instead of "Expand Stacks", and puff
I lost all stacks at once. (fortunately it wasn't more than a couple of hours work and not months of work).

I also wonder where the stacks are stored. Are they lost if the library is lost? I would prefer them to be stored in the tags.

[nelsentkd]

This version works great with my PS3. I have a new installation of Windows 7 and spent hours trying to figure out why I was getting a DLNA error 7255 with version .126. As soon as I installed this version, magic!

[lise]

This bug has not been fixed for this version: the ability to use a shortcut to C:\Windows\System32\MC14.exe /LibraryName to open multiple libraries when that feature has been enabled in options. Using such a shortcut merely opens the library in the currently open MC. It does not open a new instance.

[tombert]

The last bug report from lise:

If you select tag in the action in order to modify the very last viewable item in the list, the 'entry box' that shows up below the item (where you type your new tag) is off the screen, so you can't see what you are typing. (Perhaps this only applies when the tag is a string). Once you type blindly and hit enter, you can see what you typed because the info then appears to the right of the tag title.

happens on mine as well now ...
I'am in "Recently Imported" and trying to edit some tags. There are the tabs "Action Window" and "Display" below. Now if you try to edit the last tags, its hidden below the "Action Window".

thx

[tombert]

Sorting in the library view still does not work ..
Advanced sorting rules are not stored! and do have no effekt!

[tombert]

Next sorting bug:
In theater view add a new category album, in the right part of the window add Album and click on edit. The Category window pops up, there sort by Date imported, click OK.
Now limit the files to e.g. 200.
View it in Theater View.

You wont see your newest files cause it seems that MC first cuts 200 and then sorts. Nasty!

This is the latest version of MC 14.  Please post bugs here.

Playlists with audio and pictures don't always work correctly in theater mode. After pressing play all, the first picture shows up but never transitions to other pictures. It seems that starting the playback in non theater mode works differently...

Erik.

TheaterView has "Show" and "Slideshow" options for images.

Spacebar might start the slideshow.

With the remote I only have a "Play" and "Play All" option...

[HiFiTubes]

Theater does not sort a view of Albums, for example, by Album Artist (auto).

Probably the most desired view for me (I tag Multi-albums so as to push them down out of the way, otherwise they are listed at the top and I'd rather not exclude them entirely).
