New MC16 Features and Upgrade Instructions

16.0.119 (6/24/2011)

1. Changed: When using Red October with additional filters, if a selected decoder will not connect, the standard Red October decoder will be used instead (previously playback would just fail).
2. Fixed: DLNA Push to WDTV renderers wasn't working. Broken since build 16.0.15
3. Changed: Right-click on a playing video always shows a 'Screen Grab' menu and when the commands aren't available (like with madVR, or when not paused with VMR), the menu contains an explanation.
4. Changed: Removed DVD option for ffdshow post processing (you can instead use FFDShow Raw as an additional filter if this is desired).
5. Fixed: If files were deleted from the database on a Library Server Client while a background library server sync was occurring, it could cause a crash.
6. Changed: More efficient loading / unloading of Red October filters.
7. Fixed: With Library Server authentication enabled, other copies of Media Center running on the network would not reliably discover the server.
8. Faster: Television seeking is faster (applies to recorded and time-shifted playback).

16.0.118 (6/23/2011)

1. SDK: The skinning engine supports selecting the view header background color when inactive by using ViewHeader::InactiveHeaderBackgroundColor in the skin.
2. Changed: Bitrate monitor filters no longer show in the custom filter list (they are managed by Red October instead).
3. Fixed: Time-shifted television playback did not honor advanced video filter selection.
4. Changed: Moved the submenu arrow on a menu to the left a little so that it doesn't look crowded on skins with a rounded menu selection graphic.
5. Fixed: The subwoofer controls could be disabled on DSP Studio > Output Format when using the new 2.1 output mode.
6. Changed: MC16.exe /MCC accepts the parameter formatting [value]:[zone index] for easier multi-zone usage. (i.e. MC16.exe /MCC 10020, 25:2)
7. Fixed: When switching input formats, the option to move the center channel to the front speakers could work incorrectly.

16.0.117 (6/22/2011)

1. Changed: Removed obsolete DVD option regarding usage of the bitrate monitors.
2. Changed: Cleaned up the video options.
3. Fixed: Merit-based video renderering would not always use the selected video renderer.
4. Fixed: Right-click 'Color Controls...' was not working for DVD playback.
5. Fixed: Positioning of video playback (with OSD or shift+drag) was not working.
6. Changed: Simplified how audio and video stream selection work when using the on screen display.
7. NEW: Added 'Playlists' column that can be added to any list to show the playlists that a file is in.

16.0.116 (6/21/2011)

1. NEW: Blu-ray importing / cataloging works more nicely ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=64795.0 ).
2. Fixed: In certain passages, JRSS surround channels could be biased towards the left.
3. Fixed: In some cases, the first video playback in a zone could fail to start with madVR.
4. Fixed: The EVR video renderer was not working nicely with build 115.
5. Changed: Removed obsolete video option regarding WMV acceleration (was only needed for old ATI cards when playing protected WMV).

16.0.115 (6/20/2011)

1. Fixed: Importing of Windows Media video did not get FPS field.
2. Fixed: Some AAC+ internet radio stations would not play.
3. Fixed: Some Windows Media ASX-based internet radio stations would not play.
4. Changed: Updated to new version of ffdshow (ffdshow_rev3882_20110613_clsid.exe).
5. Changed: Added stream selection to Windows Merit Based video playback.
6. Changed: In Display View, a status message is now displayed while filter components are being downloaded & installed.
7. Fixed: With the Media Network feature disabled in Options > General > Features, the Playing Now portion of the tree would not build correctly.
8. Changed: Video positioning happens in the video playback graph thread instead of the main thread (guess as to madVR hanging issue; please report results).
9. Changed: When using madVR, only YV12 color space output will be allowed (due to problems reported with NV12 color space converter in madVR).

16.0.114 (6/17/2011)

1. Changed: Improved high-precision display refresh rate monitoring in VideoClock so that it works better on multi-monitor systems, through hardware refresh rate changes, etc.
2. Fixed: Red October preset had the ffdshow subtitle options hidden.
3. Fixed: Red October preset was using the wrong ffdshow decoding thread count setting, resulting in reduced performance on some computers.
4. Fixed: Thumbnails for some videos could be solid gray.
5. Faster: Improved performance of video thumbnailing.

16.0.113 (6/16/2011)

1. Changed: Updated all language files to have the latest strings from the source code, and to remove any orphan strings.
2. Changed: Some optimizations to the video engine to make video playback start faster.
3. Changed: The timeout used when analyzing a video file is 30 seconds instead of 20 seconds.
4. Changed: JRSS downmixing provides higher volume levels in many cases.
5. NEW: Option to automatically change display settings according to video frame rate when starting a video.
6. Changed: Files with the DTS extension are playable in the audio engine (decoded by Red October).
7. Fixed: Direct show filter downloading was causing problems during import and thumbnail creation.

16.0.112 (6/15/2011)

1. Changed: Improved support for picking a soundcard for WASAPI, etc. output when multiple soundcards on the system have the same name.
2. Faster: Some optimizations to the JRiver audio engine when used for video.
3. Changed: The 2.1 mixing mode added to build 111 supports 'No mixing' mode better for 5.1 / 7.1 content (silences channels with no speakers attached).
4. Fixed: Added file association "trp" so these video files will now play with Red October.
5. Fixed: Downloading videos from YouTube would not get the title.
6. NEW: Parametric equalizer supports Linkwitz Transform filters (used to extend the frequency response of a sealed subwoofer).
7. Fixed: Bitstreaming of DTS-HD and TrueHD formats over HDMI was not working properly.
8. Fixed: Some videos were displaying with the wrong aspect ratio in Red October mode on Windows XP.
9. Fixed: The ground was not drawing properly in the 3d spectrum analyzer visualization.

Thanks!  Works now perfectly (FYI in testing CUVID for MPG file types it was failing with MPEG1 Video Content of course - now RO loads for this instead - very well done!)

OK - I was adding it as RAW any way with my test of CUVID to get Subs

WOW - Not only is seeking almost instantaneous, but the speed of the first tune is better and channel changes are also much much faster!

MC is refusing to play DVDs ripped as such. It says to make sure that the path to the media library is correct. MKVs play fine. Removing and reimporting does not help.

The error message say that it failed to connect audio decoder to source splitter. this is using standard Red October.

It works OK using Windows merit system.

Remote relay still doesn't work with the USB-UIRT. Can you please add support for it?

Also, just discovered that Normalize volume is not Zone specific. Is that intentional? I mean, want to normalize volume in my living room, but not in my home theater.

Sorry for the multiple posts here, just installed the newest build and posting the bugs as I encounter them.

MKV playback crashes when using Windows merit. No error, just the Windows close program dialog. Using Haali - ffdshow - EVR.

RO standard and HQ plays ok. Tried RO with extra filters and specified Haali, still uses LAV splitter.

Let me know if you need log files.

I don't think you're seeing an MC problem there.  Windows merit system isn't perfect.  It's the reason we have Red October.

Nope - Old thing.  I have two drives (one physical, one virtual) and it always says DVD if there are a mix of media in the two drives.

Well, I went back to .116 and MKVs play with no crash or error, same settings. So it's definately some fix/change done between .116 and .119.

I know the merit system isn't perfect, but once you know how it works, it was easy to tell it which filters to load before RO was introduced. I just want MC to work like it did pre RO for us that want 100% manual configuration. All respect to RO, it's a great feature, especially for the ones that aren't that familiar with filter tweaking and just want it to work.

The only thing that caused problems with the merit system before RO was the fact that you can't set filters per codec in MC, only per file extension. Since one file extension may contain many different codecs, like MKV, that becoms a problem sometimes, although solvable by configuration options in the filters themselves.

The autoupdate system starts too soon in the startup process of the computer. When it starts auto installing the latest version whilst my computer is still in the process of loading all startup items, it seriously impacts speed to the point of seeming to be frozen. It would be better to put a delay of a few minutes in that.
