Media Center 16.0.81 -- Available Here
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:03:15 am »

This is the latest version of MC 16.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter160081.exe
Warning: Theater View Customization will be reset:
11. Changed: New stock views for Theater View (requires one time over-write of user customization of Theater View and DLNA server views).
More details on why this happened are here.

16.0.81 (5/4/2011)

1. Fixed: Viewing the files inside a Netflix series in Theater View was not possible with the last few builds.
2. NEW: The optical drive entry in Theater View can be configured to only show when certain disk types are in the drive.
3. Changed: Revised default Theater View layout so that DVD and Blu-ray discs appear under video, and audio discs appear at the root (if there's a disc in the drive).
4. Changed: It is possible to browse optical disks using Theater View > Gadgets > Explorer.
5. Changed: Revised default Theater View layout (resetting of views is strongly recommended for users of builds 76 - 80, but optional).
6. Changed: Theater View will update when an optical disc is added or removed (instead of requiring a manual refresh).
7. Changed: Inserting or removing an optical disc does a less disruptive update to views that are not related to optical discs.
8. Changed: Removed 'Play All' Theater View top roller option at the root of a video library view and playlists view.
9. Fixed: Playlist deletion was disabled in Theater View for the last few builds.
10. Changed: Netflix entries under the "Television" category now group TV episodes into series, as in the instant queue.
11. Changed: Improved support for XMLTV genre parsing.
12. Fixed: Ctrl+O in a web view would show an IE open dialog instead of Media Center's options when using the Internet Explorer engine.
13. Fixed: Installing new versions of existing filters wasn't working during android video conversions.
14. Fixed: Theater View Weather would not properly display Weather icons in some cases.
15. Changed: Added media sub type 'Short'.
16. Changed: Revised how filter detection is performed so that the filter is not loaded when testing if it exists on the system.
17. Fixed: m4a audio file tagger could not remove embedded cover art.
18. Fixed: m4a audio file tagger would not remove disk # and track # fields from the file.
19. Changed: Theater View configuration no longer limits adding multiple of the same type of item (i.e. adding a plugin in more than one place, etc.).
20. NEW: Added the ability to create Theater View navigation items that point to particular playlist groups instead of the root of playlists.
21. Changed: When a television recording is being deleted by user, MC will no longer keep the underlining time-shifting files if the only other reference to these files is the "Saved time-shifting".

16.0.80 (5/3/2011)

1. SDK: MJZoneAutomation::GetName() was not working properly in certain cases.
2. Changed: When editing Smartlist rules, only relevant values are presented in the rule drop boxes (previously relevant values were shown, then a divider, then a list of all values).
3. Optimized: Starting video playback is faster in some cases.
4. Fixed: Determining the type of optical disk in the drive could cause a handle leak on Windows 7 with certain optical drives.
5. Changed: Improved how optical disks are detected (should be an internal change, but please report any issues).
6. Fixed: Television component did not handle error conditions properly in the last few builds.
7. Fixed: Television component could crash if the tuner device failed in the last few builds.
8. Changed: Dutch language translation updated (thanks bennyd).
9. NEW: Added 24 bit transcode to wave audio option for the DLNA server.

16.0.79 (5/2/2011)

1. Changed: Added media sub type option of 'Other'.
2. Fixed: Playback of mono video files would not work properly in some cases.
3. Fixed: Returning to Theater View could crash (only applies to last couple builds).
4. Changed: Improved Television views in Theater View to work better for users that don't record their television (sorting by date imported instead of date recorded, addition of season view, addition of genre view, etc.)
5. Changed: Renamed 'My Computer' to 'Explorer' (applies to Standard View and Theater View).
6. Fixed: In Theater View, when certain confirmation boxes were shown, it would be possible to arrow the focus out of the dialog.
7. Fixed: If a background thread showed a message box while Theater View was showing, it would be skinned by Theater View but then not work properly.
8. Changed: Numerous enhancements to the automatic media sub type guessing system used for video categorization in Theater View (remember you can manually set the Media Sub Type for files that are incorrectly categorized).
9. Fixed: Connecting to a library via DLNA could hang.
10. NEW: Options > Theater View > Theme > Fadeout Cover Art In Playing Now Display is a three-state option: No / Only for online media slideshow (recommended) / Always
11. Changed: New stock views for Theater View (requires one time over-write of user customization).
12. Faster: Improved performance of Theater View library views.
13. Changed: Removed edge fading from Theater View online slideshow images (since they're now cropped to fill the entire screen).

16.0.78 (4/29/2011)

1. Changed: Default video sorting is by name instead of date / name.
2. Changed: Tuned default thumbnail size in Theater View slightly to show 3 wide instead of 2 wide in movie views on a 720p display.
3. Changed: When using a secondary roller in Theater View, returning from a view will preserve the focus and selection state of the secondary roller.
4. Changed: Merged standard and alternate Theater View navigation modes, and removed advanced Theater View option to toggle (the differences were subtle anyway).
5. Changed: When using 'Same as source' for the bitdepth for MP3 and M4A, the output will be 24-bit instead of 64-bit (choosing a higher bit depth manually is still supported).
6. Changed: Added 16-bit output as one of the audio auto-configure formats to try when failing to open a soundcard.
7. NEW: Theater View scrollbar sizing is user-configurable in Options > Theater View.
8. Fixed: Theater View list style customization was not saving the category and file level independently.
9. Changed: New stock views for Theater View (sorry, will require reconfiguration of user customization).
10. NEW: Added 'Decade' as one of the date formatting options for the FormatDate(...) expression function.

16.0.77 (4/28/2011)

1. NEW: New stock views for Theater View (sorry, will require reconfiguration of user customization).
2. NEW: Theater View stores all view configuration in the library so that settings move nicely with Library Server Client, library restore, etc.
3. NEW: Theater View '3D Wall' style can be used for any list by using 'Toggle List Style' (previously required a special view named 'Showroom').
4. NEW: Added new Theater View category style that shows a single root item and puts child items on the top roller once entering.
5. NEW: Showing of the 'All ...' items in Theater View browsing is optional on a per-view basis (configure in Options > Theater View).
6. NEW: File system browsing is possible in Theater View (under More > My Computer by default).
7. NEW: Added expression MediaSubType() that guesses on the sub type of a file if no actual sub type is stored in the database (used to auto-categorize videos in Theater View).
8. NEW: The 'DVD' entry in Theater View will say 'Blu-ray' or 'CD' when the corresponding disc types are in the drive.
9. Changed: Sorting of categories will always put (Unassigned) last (previously unassigned could show first if descending sort order was used).
10. Changed: Improved support for Theater View background images from HTBackdrops.com by using the native API provided by HTBackdrops.com.
11. NEW: Theater View shows fan art from TheTVDB.com when viewing a series (configurable in Options > Theater View > Theme).
12. Changed: Slowed down the Theater View theme slideshow speed a little.
13. Fixed: Pressing Shift+F10 or the menu key while in Display View or Theater View could show the main program menu.
14. Fixed: Problem painting border area of video when playing television using EVR (only applies to build 76).
15. Fixed: Right-click and double-click in video window did not work when watching television using Enhanced Video Renderer(only applies to build 76).
16. Changed: Television component will load zone 1 settings, if available, when doing scheduled recording.
17. Fixed: Android video conversion wasn't handling files with only a video stream or only an audio stream.
18. Fixed: Made internal ffdshow configuration more bullet-proof for Android video conversions.

16.0.76 (4/26/2011)

1. Changed: Updated the channel mask provided for 5.1 and 7.1 output to use a more modern Microsoft recommendation.
2. Fixed: The channel ordering used for the new 6.1 support in build 75 was not correct.
3. Fixed: In rare cases with large libraries, it was possible for a value to not appear in the panes.
4. Fixed: Starting television playback while recording could fail when using madVR as the renderer.
5. Internal: DirectShow graph-building and many related operations in television are done in a worker thread to work better with madVR (should be internal change, but please report any issues).
6. Fixed: MP3 playback could output a little hiccup on seek (only applies to last few builds).
7. Fixed: The enabled / disabled state for the Output Format DSP was not working properly in certain cases.

Are you going to make media sub-type editable? If not can we have a few extra sub-types. Ones that spring to mind are DVD Extras (or something that covers all the non main feature stuff with movies), Trailers & Adult :P

By design or not??

Have been fooling around in the new Theaterview. I did have to reinstall MC16 at first because "More - Toggle List Style" would crash MC as soon as it tried to go into "Showroom". I tried a reboot but that did not help, after reinstall and library restore it is working again. I did not have any problems with this proir, but as an afterthought I did not know if it may have changed the Video options upon upgrading.

Ok, so here is the main question... In TheaterView I have a catagory Audio - Lirary item Artist with Artist(grouping of 1) - Artist - Album. When in theaterview this acts as before in the thumbnail view. When I get to ablum and select "More - Toggle list Style" and go into showroom, it looks great. When I select back, nothing happens. I would think it would go back to the thumbnail Artist view, but I have to toggle the List view to get it back again. Am I wrong in assuming this???

Ken

Ok I just noticed if I drill down a single Album and Toggle to Showroom view and back out it goes back to the thumbnail view. But from Artist it does not. If I am in a single artist with there albums showing and toggle to Showroom view and hit back nothing happens unless I toggle the view.

Am I making any sense...?

You can backup from MC15 and restore in MC16.  Read carefully when you do.

In build 81, my smartlist seems to be ignoring my modify results/sort by area.

I have a smart list and I have it set to sort by Year (a-z) then by Track # (a-z). However, whenever I click on the list, it is sorted by Artist and Album by default.

In fact, when in standard view on a certain playlist, if I select the playlist and get the drop down menu of list style/group by/sort by/columns and change those, the playlist does not respond. It will show a certain sorting technique, but won't actually do the sorting.

HELP : Problems Taggs with MC16

I "tagg" always my albums FLAC with J RIVER (MC13, 14, 15).
Before, I have never had problems.

When MC16 went out, I continued with MC16.


I have just noticed that for approximately 1 month, the other software (FOOBAR, KINSKY, ASSET UPNP) does not recognize the "taggs" of MC16.
For example, the information "rating" "commentary" "grouping" is not taken into account by the other logiciels alors that I have never had problem with MC15.

Worse still, for approximately 1 month, the taggs of MC16 does not appear in MC15 ! Columns are empty !

Why?
How can it be done?

It is a real pity and very harmful...

By hoping for a fast answer...
In advance thank you.

sithodea, I have not experienced any FLAC tagging problems.

Quote
16.0.16 (1/24/2011)

4. Fixed: Removed NULLS from the end of tag fields for flac files when writing the tags.

This is the only announced FLAC tagging change in MC16.

I attached a small untagged FLAC sample file in a zip package. Download, unzip and tag it with MC16. Test it with your other programs. Can you reproduce the problems?

Start a new thread for further discussion. This thread will be closed when the next build is released.

Have you tried to backup your library that is fully tagged in MC16, then gone into MC15 and restored the library from that backup?

steveklein,

MC16 can load a library from an old MC version, but I don't think MC15 can load an MC16 library. The library format has changed.


A possible cause for the problem is accidentally disabled tag writing in Options > General > Importing & Tagging > Update tags when file info changes. When this option is not checked file tag writing is disabled and MC will store any changed metadata only in the database (aka library).

I made the test.

When one tagg with MC16, all informations written does not appear on MC15 or of the other player.
When one tagg with MC15, all informations written appear on MC16 and on other player. No problems.

It is really curious.

sithodea,

What does happen when you select the file in MC16 and do:
Right-click > Library Tools > Update tags (from libary)  ?

Does MC16 show a message?

When tagging in Action Window > Tag, I enter a value for a field than press tab to go to the next field. The first file is selected.

This seems to happen mostly when I first navigate to an area and only once.
This seems to happen mostly when I have nothing selected in the file list but I have it happened when I have multiple files selected.
