New MC16 Features and
Upgrade Instructions16.0.119 (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.

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.

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.
