Please see the first topic on the MC15 board for a download link.  MC14 is no longer sold.

14.0.161 (03/30/2010)

1. Changed: Add the file extension for image and audio files served by the DLNA server to fix troubles with some renderers.
2. Fixed: DLNA, transcoded music files could be from 1-8095 bytes short if not falling on a 8096 byte boundary.

14.0.160 (03/26/2010)

1. Fixed: Some AIFF files created in dBpoweramp played with a brief noise at the end.
2. Fixed: The French language was corrupted.

14.0.159 (03/25/2010)

1. Fixed: Turn off video support by default for UPnP devices that don't support video.
2. Fixed: Return sane DLNA strings for the MC renderer which didn't have the full information needed to do so.
3. Fixed: A crash while playing images at the same time as audio in the same zone could leave a dangling 'Images' zone that would cause issues.
4. Changed: Toggling through zones will no longer stop at the internal 'Images' zone used during simultaneous audio and image playback.
5. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar).
6. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks Benoit de Corn).
7. Fixed: If a DirectShow DSP property page was already showing in DSP studio when playback was started, the page appeared to be inactive, until DSP studio was closed and reopened.
8. Fixed: If there was a failure contacting the Netflix API, it would keep trying every 1/4 second forever.

14.0.158 (03/18/2010)

1. Fixed: Content-Range in partial content in the http server. Messed up end of files when serving files to some DLNA renderers.

14.0.157 (03/12/2010)

1. Fixed: Some DLNA renderers were not showing up as zones under playing now. (like wdtvlive).

14.0.156 (03/11/2010)

1. Fixed: Scheduled television recording of an analog television program would cause MC to crash if JRiver Audio Renderer feature was enabled.
2. Fixed: Edge snapping did not work nicely in some multimonitor configurations.
3. Changed: If all the pieces of DLNA are disabled, no SSDP multicast responder server will be started. (could cause spurious firewall prompt)
4. Fixed DLNA image handling problem (resolution wasn't being sent).
5. Changed: DLNA image shrinking to handle all file types (converted automatically to jpegs).
6. Changed: DLNA reports more accurate (based on codec if possible) video for WMC compatible (xbox 360) profiles. (requires updating library from tags for video files).

14.0.155 (03/03/2010)

1. Changed: Improved JRiver Audio Renderer clocking method to improve lip-sync.
2. 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".
3. Fixed: Netflix feature could fail to authorize user if the computer's clock was off quite a bit.

14.0.154 (03/02/2010)

1. Changed: Added support for [App Version] keyword when customizing the display at the top of the program.
2. Changed: Purchases done through this version (and newer) will receive a Media Center 15 license.
3. Changed: DVD audio/video decoder enumeration is done in JRWorker so that bad filters can not cause crashes.
4. Changed: DSP Studio > Room Correction only applies distance based attenuation across matched speaker sets (phasing correction is still applied across all speakers in play).

14.0.153 (03/01/2010)

1. NEW: Added jump on play option "Theater View Playing Now" so playing from Standard View will show Theater View.  Under General/Behavior.
2. Fixed: Right-clicking television playback and selecting "Select Filters..." could crash.
3. Changed: Playback will no longer attempt to support files that report a sample rate less than 0 or greater than one million (corrupt files could cause crashes).
4. Fixed: The rollup state of playlist and podcast view headers was not being saved between view switches and program runs.
5. Fixed: On a fresh install, a 'Default' library entry would not get created in Library Manager, making it difficult to switch back to the default library after loading a different library.
6. Fixed: Zone settings for obsolete zones (like DLNA devices that have been disconnected, etc.) could accumulate in options.
7. Fixed: When looping through a list during in-place editing, the column headers could become mis-aligned with the columns.
8. NEW: Added DSP Studio > Output Format option "For stereo sources, only mix to 2.1".
9. Fixed: Right-clicking television playback and selecting "Select Filters..." resulted in a dialog window with empty drop-down lists.
10. Optimized: Improved internal data movement performance of JRiver Audio Renderer.
11. NEW: When a Blu-ray disc is in the drive, it will appear more nicely inside the program and playing the entry will launch the bdmv in the default player for bdmv files.

14.0.152 (02/26/2010)

1. NEW: Ripped DVD's can be streamed to DLNA renderers .
2. Fixed: Seeking using the JRiver audio renderer could cause a crash.
3. Fixed: MC could fail to play a DVD using FFDShow Video Decoder due to the decoder's lack of Closed Captioning support.
4. Changed: Relaxed the requirement that audio PID must be positive, to allow 0 to be entered, when manually adding a DVB-T channel.
5. Optimized: Reduced chances of WASAPI hiccups when using very low buffer latency settings.
6. Changed: Improved smoothness of the clock provided by the JRiver audio renderer during video playback.
7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar).
8. Fixed: The DSP Studio Output Format setting "Surround mixing" was disabled when selecting "Stereo", making it impossible to select JRSS v2.0 for 5.1 or 7.1 downmixing.

14.0.151 (02/24/2010)

1. Fixed: During television playback, the JRiver audio renderer would not be used.
2. Fixed: A timeout when reading from an internet resource could cause a crash.
3. Optimized: When using the JRiver Audio Renderer for video playback, the DSP Studio is managed by the renderer instead of inserting a discrete DSP Studio transform filter in the playback graph.
4. Changed: Revised how clocking in JRiver Audio Renderer works so that it nicely supports tempo and rate changes in DSP Studio (or other similar VST, etc. plugins).
5. Fixed: JRiver audio renderer caused some videos to repeat the last sound byte forever.

14.0.150 (02/23/2010)

1. Fixed: Some WAV tags could cause the program to hang.
2. Fixed: Switching between a Directshow audio filter and a Media Center plugin for audio decoding would unnecessarily do a full-stop transition, making cross-fading, gapless, etc. impossible.
3. Changed: Improved lip-sync when using JRiver audio renderer (may require one seek before lip-sync is correct).
4. Changed: Theater View's Playing Now looks and works better when playback is stopped.
5. Changed: Improved support of mu-law encoded AU files.
6. Fixed: Slim view would incorrectly do Windows 7-like edge snapping. (still snaps to edges, just doesn't fill half the screen)
7. Changed: Playing a physical DVD when connected to a library server that had also played that DVD would not work.
8. Changed: JRiver audio renderer can be used for DVD, TV, and video playback.
9. Fixed: The more sophisticated resampling options from build 148 were not being honored during video playback.

14.0.149 (02/19/2010)

1. Fixed: Theater View list selection wouldn't properly reset to the beginning of a list when navigating into an item.
2. Optimized: Improved program shutdown performance.
3. Fixed: The new Playing Now in Theater View could hide the first file in the list view.
4. Internal: Revised how output plugins are loaded (should be internal change only, please report any issues).
5. Changed: Scheduled television recording will stop a low priority recording if a higher priority recording is scheduled.

14.0.148 (02/18/2010)

1. Fixed: Loading a DLNA library from some NAS drives would not support FLAC files.
2. Changed: Tightened up item spacing at bottom of Theater View's Playing Now.
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
4. Chef's Recommendation  NEW: Added ASIO 'Volume' option to allow customization of the system volume device controlled during ASIO playback (since ASIO device names do not always match Windows device names).
5. Changed: Improved volume matching mode during ASIO playback when the volume option is set to 'Automatically try to choose at playback time'.
6. Changed: When replacing Microsoft DTV-DVD audio decoder with another decoder during video, DVD, and television playback that involves AC3 audio decoding, a prominent message is displayed to show user of progress.
7. Fixed: MC could repeatedly download and install FLV splitter filter on Windows 7 due to failure to access registry.
8. Chef's Recommendation  NEW: Output Format in DSP Studio allows more sophisticated resampling settings, making it easier to leave sample rates supported by your hardware untouched while resampling unsupported formats.
9. Changed: Updated copyright years on about and splash images.
10. Fixed: When playing a video, incorrect values could show in DSP Studio > Volume Leveling (replay gain not available for videos).

Nice to see the V14 polished.
Thx for the corrupted language corrected.

[kristian]

Thanks, fellas, for the AIFF fix!

[DoubtingThomas]

Fixed: The French language was corrupted.

MediaCenter bug.... ??

[DoubtingThomas]

I have no idea when this issue showed up, it may have been in v12 too...

Lets say I have three tracks in my PlayingNow list

Track1
Track2
Track3

Track2 is currently playing.
Track2 is deleted from playing now.
Track2 continues to play.

If I run MC14 to change the rating of the currently playing track, Track1 gets changed, not Track2 which is currently playing.

Lyrics display not working. Please see my post:

http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=56890.0

and someone else has the same problem

http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=53223.msg363470#msg363470

I realize this is probably not a bug but I thought it could easily be fixed in MC.

Please and thanks

Simon.

1) The last.fm plug-in is cutting off the dash (-) at the end of song names. might also be cutting off other odd characters.
          Expample: a song titled "Killa -Sonata in Winter Saisho kara Imamade-" would be sent as "Killa -Sonata in Winter Saisho kara Imamade"

2) Prevent MC from deleting the link between the CD database and the actual CD. Happens when the CD database is stacked with the main database. (I know keeping the "fix broken links" option on will fix this but I can't keep this turned on due to the fact that I break links on purpose sometimes (temporarily))

3) Moving a DVD folder using MC (Drives & Devices > My Computer) to a new location does not update the database

4) Change the disc # field to write to discnumber or both since it seems that discnumber is universally used by other programs. Looks like flac files use disc # and mp3 uses discnumber

5) [REQUEST] have option to stack by disc # and track #

6) Default fields: unlock the flags field. does not make sense to create a new field called "composer (movies)" or "composer A" because I can't use the default composer field for my movies.

[221bBS]

7) Bug occurs while tagging in the action window while playing music. As the music is about to end, maybe 10-15 seconds left and again as the track changes to the next song MC will force the enter key to be pressed. Both times. This is very annoying since I have to keep track of when a song is about to end and wait half a minute before I can resume tagging. If I fail to stop editing what every I am typing is deleted since using the enter key not only saves the data in the field but also highlights everything in the field. Since I am still typing the next letter I type erases everything in the field.

Hi,

Notice if I put data cd in the and select DVD player it opens notepad with the disk information.  I have my DVD setting set at external, but I think this also happens if it isn't.  Is there a way to make this fail more gracefully.  Like saying something like: "This is not Playable Media".

Thanks
Mike

[alexhenes]

will 161 be the last MC14 release?

[JimH]

will 161 be the last MC14 release?

No.  No new features will be added, but we're still fixing important bugs.

Minor - The cancel (x) in search box when using the wizard now works, but the expression from the wizard still does not appear.  (you can get it to appear by using a two pane view, making the non-active one active and then switching back to the pane that used the search.)

From Matt: Could you describe this one in a bit more detail?  We haven't been able to reproduce anything out of the ordinary.

Thanks.

Sorry, Matt, I just saw your request from 14.0.147 and the problem still exists in 14.0.161.

How to create a minor visual problem (no search description in search box)

Bring up the wizard in the search box.  Type in a search, e.g, limt time to 5 minutes and "apply" it. The search works, but the equation for the search does NOT appear in the search box unless you first open another view (make it active) and then make active the original view (as soon as you do that, the search formula appears in the search box.)  Is that an adequate description?
