15.0.8 (03/22/2010)
1. Changed: A few fixes and optimizations to make JRiver URL Reader filter work better.
2. Fixed: WASAPI plugin was not available (only applies to last few builds).
3. Fixed: WebRemote could crash during very high activity image serving.
4. NEW: Added support for if(...) statements and loop_no_first / loop_no_last in HTML template engine used for WebRemote.
5. Fixed: WebRemote would show an incorrect item at the end of the list.
6. Optimized: Numerous improvements to WebRemote server performance.
7. Changed: WebRemote skips levels with only one item so going into an artist with one album goes straight to files, etc.
8. Changed: MC will try downloading an MP4 splitter if it fails to render an mp4 video / m4a audio.
9. Changed: Revised WebRemote layout system to use the physical device size for page sizing (like mobile Wikipedia, etc.)
10. Changed: WebRemote no longer shows an empty image in Playing Now when playback is stopped.
11. Fixed: DLNA could expose internal zones like the image playback zone.
15.0.7 (03/17/2010)
1. NEW: JRiver URL Reader filter that helps playing video from the Internet.
2. NEW: Numerous improvements and refinements to the appearance of the default WebRemote template.
3. Fixed: Kernel Streaming didn't show friendly names for devices when running under UAC.
4. Fixed: International characters were not being properly supported when browsing the library with WebRemote.
5. Optimized: Added a caching layer to the search for external art during import, which can substantially improve import performance in cases where there is no art in the tags and there are many files in a single folder.
6. NEW: Added 'Image' section to Options > File Location that is used during camera, clipboard, etc. image acquisition.
7. Changed: Switched Action Window > Acquire Images options dialog to use a base path + directory rule, to match the new Options > File Location system. (both dialogs configure the same settings)
8. Fixed: Installing on a system with Media Center 14 installed could fail in some cases.
15.0.6 (03/16/2010)
1. NEW: Added Kernel Streaming output plugin.
2. NEW: Added internal volume support to JRiver audio renderer.
3. Changed: Removed WebRemote header on all pages except the homepage.
4. Fixed: The splash image didn't list 2010 as the copyright.
5. Fixed: 'Network' options page was not sorted in the list properly.
6. Fixed: Content-Range in partial content in the http server. Messed up end of files when serving files to some DLNA renderers.
7. Changed: Bumped facebook upload image size to 720 pixels.
15.0.5 (03/15/2010)
1. Fixed: Restoring settings with certain library backups could crash / hang.
2. Changed: Improved how WebRemote reports pages should be cached to avoid stale page issues.
3. Changed: WebRemote builds thumbnails as necessary instead of requiring thumbnails to already be built.
4. Changed: Removed legacy 'Remote Server' (Options > Startup > Remote Server) in favor of WebRemote and MCWS.
15.0.4 (03/12/2010)
1. Changed: If all the pieces of DLNA are disabled, no SSDP multicast responder server will be started. (could cause spurious firewall prompt)
2. Fixed: If user selected filters for DVD playback while DVD was playing, the selection would not take effect when playback restarted.
3. Changed: ASIO output plugin supports lower latency settings.
4. NEW: Reworked JRiver audio renderer clocking to provide (hopefully) perfect lip sync with any output plugin.
5. Changed: Renamed 'DLNA' options to 'Network', added a section for Web Remote.
6. Changed: The type selected in Options > Video is remembered when leaving and returning to options. (so testing a given video type with different filters is much easier)
7. Changed: Options > General > Advanced > Features moved up a level to Options > General > Features.
15.0.3
Internal testing build
15.0.2 (03/05/2010)
1. Fixed: Edge snapping did not work nicely in some multimonitor configurations.
2. Fixed: Scheduled television recording of an analog television program would cause MC to crash if JRiver Audio Renderer feature was enabled.
15.0.1 (03/04/2010)
1. NEW: When restoring a library backup, user settings can also be restored.
2. NEW: DLNA Renderers expose a 'presentation URL' to allow control from any web browser (find Media Center zone in Windows 'Network' area, right-click, select Properties, and click the 'Device webpage' link) (not functional yet, just added framework to support the feature)
3. Changed: Added support for [App Version] keyword when customizing the display at the top of the program.
4. Changed: Purchases done through this version (and newer) will receive a Media Center 15 license.
5. Changed: DVD audio/video decoder enumeration is done in JRWorker so that bad filters can not cause crashes.
6. Changed: DSP Studio > Room Correction only applies distance based attenuation across matched speaker sets (phasing correction is still applied across all speakers in play).
7. Changed: Improved JRiver Audio Renderer clocking method to improve lip-sync.
8. Fixed: Netflix feature could fail to authorize user if the computer's clock was off quite a bit.
9. Fixed: If WAV tagging was disabled (the default), setting cover art to the WAV files could still result in the database incorrectly switching the image field to "Inside File".
10. Fixed: Playing an MP3 from a server could make an unnecessary head request back to the server once a second.
