http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter160081.exeWarning: 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).

2. NEW: The optical drive entry in Theater View can be configured to only show when certain disk types are in the drive.

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.

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.

15. Changed: Added media sub type 'Short'.

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".

4. Fixed: Determining the type of optical disk in the drive could cause a handle leak on Windows 7 with certain optical drives.

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.

2. NEW:
Theater View stores all view configuration in the library so that settings move nicely with Library Server Client, library restore, etc.
