New MC16 Features and Upgrade Instructions

16.0.173 (9/9/2011)

1. Fixed: MadVR wasn't always getting loaded in Red October mode.

16.0.172 (9/9/2011)

1. Changed: File locations dialog now has separate entries for "Other Video", "Ripped BD Video", and "Ripped DVD Video".
2. Fixed: Disc was not ejecting following a DVD or BD rip, even though option was selected.
3. Changed: In the rip action window, pressing the ENTER key after typing a name for a DVD/BD disc will commence the ripping process.
4. Changed: When ripping DVD/BD discs, if the rip destination folder already contains files, the user is prompted on whether it's ok to overwrite them prior to starting the rip.

16.0.171 (9/8/2011)

1. Fixed: DLNA. A change made in 16.0.111 caused MC to return a slightly different URL in status calls than was originally provided by MC's DLNA server (when the same instance of MC was being used as the server and renderer). This caused undesirable behavior for some control points (i.e. PlugPlayer).
2. NEW: Blu-ray disc ripping.  Same requirements as for disc playback: must have ANYDVD HD or other Blu-ray reader software installed.
3. Changed: Media subtype of "Movie" is automatically set on all DVD/BD rips.
4. Fixed: When DVD and BD discs were swapped in and out of the drive several times, a Media Center crash could occur.
5. Changed: Nicer view header info when viewing BD & DVD discs.
6. Changed: DVD/BD rips bring up "Get Movie Info" dialog after clicking the Rip button if no meta-data has been entered for the movie.
7. Changed: When the media insertion dialog pops up for a DVD/BD and "Rip" is chosen, the rip action window appears allowing the user to modify the movie name rather than having the rip start up immediately.

16.0.170 (9/2/2011)

1. Fixed: Some WMV videos (for example the Windows 7 sample video Wildlife.wmv) wouldn't play on Android.
2. Changed: Red October will use EVR as the default renderer when it is available on XP (instead of VMR 9).
3. Changed: Software deinterlacing is disabled when using EVR in favor of the hardware-based deinterlacing that EVR provides.
4. Changed: The choice to rip a dvd as well as play the dvd is now presented when a DVD disc is inserted in the drive.

16.0.169 (9/1/2011)

1. Fixed: Movies weren't showing up under genre categories for Netflix in Theater View (Netflix had changed their genres).
2. Fixed: Closing the Smartlist editor while a drop box was open showing its content could lead to a crash.
3. Fixed: Rotten Tomatoes JSON parsing could hang when it encountered escaped quotation marks.
4. Fixed: DVD bookmark loading wasn't working in some cases.
5. Fixed: List style customization could present the wrong choices when using tree navigation of library views.
6. Fixed: Netflix TV series not adding to instant queue when requested (still have to restart MC before seeing them in the queue).

16.0.168 (8/31/2011)

1. Fixed: DVD playback wasn't working properly on Android (still).

16.0.167 (8/31/2011)

1. Fixed: DVD playback wasn't working properly on Android.

16.0.166 (8/31/2011)

Internal testing build.

16.0.165 (8/30/2011)

1. Fixed: WVC-1 content could have an unknown video codec listed in the compression info field (use Update Library from Tags to update existing files).
2. Changed: Red October video converter uses LAV CUVID when possible.
3. Changed: Red October video converter (Gizmo, etc.) supports the Microsoft MPEG decoder.
4. NEW: Ripped DVD plays to Android devices.

16.0.164 (8/29/2011)

1. Changed: Added the ability to put a graphic under the option buttons in the player window in a Standard View skin (Playerbar\OptionButtonsBackground).
2. Changed: Added support for more view header skin colors so the header and body can use different color schemes (HeaderTextColor, HeaderHotTextColor, ActiveTabTextColor).
3. NEW: Bad / corrupt files get imported to a special database location so that the files won't get analyzed over and over with each import (smartlist ~d=b shows files).
4. Fixed: Showing the import dialog could crash in rare cases.

16.0.163 (8/26/2011)

1. Fixed: The 'Language' on screen display was not working for DVD playback.
2. Fixed: When starting DVD playback, a portion of the display could be cut off in some cases.
3. Changed: Red October Standard uses the Microsoft video decoder for WVC-1 content.
4. NEW: DSP Studio shows the source and internal audio formats on the bottom of the dialog.

16.0.162 (8/26/2011)

Internal testing build.

16.0.161 (8/25/2011)

1. Fixed: Possible memory over read from a corrupt or specially crafted registry setting.
2. Faster: Evaluating the same regex over and over in an expression is much faster.
4. NEW: Added Rotten Tomatoes as a possible data source to the Lookup Movie dialog.
5. NEW: Added string field 'Critic Rating' for storing rating information, like a Rotten Tomato score.
6. Changed: Tuned size of view category editing dialog.
7. Changed: Automatic media sub type guessing used in Theater View assumes WTV files are television.
8. Changed: Removed unneeded "(root)" label shown on location panes with no base path.
9. Chagned: Removed the > symbols between drop-down pane items in the view header.

still, when I'm not connected to the internet and click "Performer Store" in the left sidebar (which mostly happens by accident when trying to click something else), MC crashes... Vista SP2.

It's working here.

Perhaps there was a temporary issue with the TVDB servers?

Anyone else?

I just migrated my Library and MC to a new laptop, since which when I rename files from properties to a new location MC now leaves behind empty folders.

It will delete the sub-folder that the files were directly inside, but not it's empty parent as MC has done for me previously.

Is this a Win7 issue? All else in my settings is the same I believe.

They were down for a time recently.

I'm getting very few hits in the "look up cover art" with this build.  It may have been going on for longer but, I just didn't notice.

BUG: I've hit it a few times with .173 but haven't been able to repeat.  If I can, I'll report, but for now, here's the bug...

Sometimes when I play tracks the title in the playing now tab, instead of being Playing Now is Images (yet I have no images stored or any zone called images) and the DSP is all reset for this new "zone"

[update]It gets worse.  My Playing Now zone was renamed '5' today!  But still haven't noticed a pattern... You can see view '5' in the log below - this is the first instance...[/update]

We found and fixed a server problem today.  Please try again.  I apologize for the problem.

Playing DVD or DVD files in Red October crashes MC in XP. If I have a DVD or complete DVD rip it's hard to reach the main movie. Most of the time MC has crashed allready before going to play the main movie. When opening a new imported DVD rip, I want to check the movie and click on the progression bar halfway the movie, it either crashes or hangs, when pauzing and go back to play it sometimes goes on. When I choose red October and additional filters (JRiver Video engine/ffdshow video decoder/Enhanced Video renderer) it plays well and I can click the progression bar anywhere to check the movie and it plays right away without stuttering etc.

Saw change #1 on build 171 and was hoping it fixed this problem, but it did not:

Smartlists in MC 16 are not working according to spec, as I have mentioned in a couple threads for several months. The relevant portion of the Wiki entry reads:

Quote
To make UPnP devices work well with random smartlists, the UPnP server keeps track of which collections have been queried recently. If a collection is far enough away to mean that the user has browsed to a different portion of the tree, then the next time the smartlist is visited a new order will be returned. Far enough means at least the grandparent of the smartlist, or a nephew or an aunt. Merely browsing to the parent and back is not enough, nor a sibling.


But with MC16 any navigation, no matter where you go in the tree fails to refresh the smartlist. Per the response in the build 160 thread, this problems is occurring with Roku Soundbridges and also with the Plug Player iPhone uPnP client app. I can try this with other UPnP clients on other devices (that I don't generall use as UPnP clients), but I don't think it is unique to these.

Let me know if I can provide any additional detail.
