JRiver Media Center 17.0.129 -- Available Here
« on: April 18, 2012, 09:26:09 am »

This is the latest version of MC 17.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

New Features in MC17

Upgrade Instructions

Download: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v17/latest/MediaCenter170129.exe

17.0.129 (4/17/2012)

1. NEW: Added support for JPEG files that use a CMYK color space.
2. Faster: Reworked how strings are handled with the translation engine to be several times faster (helps performance in many areas, even when running in English).
3. Faster: Revised import and input plugins to use a faster string passing system.
4. Fixed: The option to move the center speaker to the front L/R speakers was not working properly when downmixing.

17.0.128 (4/16/2012)

1. Fixed: A couple expression engine bugs in build 127.
2. Faster: Revised how the current time is retrieved from the system to be about 25x faster (helps expressions that use Now(), possibly other areas of the program).
3. NEW: Added 'Order channels' filter to Parametric Equalizer for easier ordering of output channels.
4. Changed: Switched standard message box icons to a skinnable resource (Art\SystemIcons in skin).
5. Changed: Users will no long need to scan for analog television channels before scanning for STB television channels.
6. Fixed: Camera import could appear to hang if the process was canceled.
7. Fixed: The same camera could appear twice in the camera import drop list, once as removable drive and once as WIA device.

17.0.127 (4/13/2012)

1. Faster: Improved memory management in expression evaluator, resulting in about 5% faster expression evaluation.
2. Faster: Improved handling of constants in the expression engine, leading to around 10% faster expression evaluation.
3. Faster: Search engine is faster when dealing with expression-based searches.
4. Faster: The PadNumber(...) expression function is several times faster.
5. Faster: Expression engine pools evaluation of a field so using the same field repeatedly in an expression or subsequent files with the same value is faster.
6. Fixed: The expression Right(...) was not working properly in build 126.
7. Changed: Updated the html5 audio/image playback script.
8. Changed: Hook up slideshow time option to the html5 image slideshow playback.
9. Fixed: Some analog television tuners did not work when played in non-time-shifting mode if the user has no appropriate audio decoder installed on the computer.
10. Changed: All analog television tuners using hardware MPEG encoding will load LAV Audio Decoder by default in non-time-shifting mode.
11. Fixed: Hulu browsing was not working properly.
12. Faster: When an expression uses a field that's an expression field, the expression field is inlined, helping performance in these cases.
13. Fixed: If an invalid equation was provided to a Math(...) expression it could lead to a leak.
14. Changed: Image acquisition in the Camera Action Window now done in background threads.
15. Faster: Removed a processing layer when searches evaluate expressions, helping performance.
16. Faster: The search engine better sorts multiple expressions so that the fastest expressions get evaluated first (sometimes helping performance of expression-based views immensely).
17. Faster: The Math(...) expression uses a caching layer so that evaluating a fixed expression is roughly the same as using a constant (makes expressions with math 10x or more faster).

17.0.126 (4/12/2012)

1. Fixed: Display of television guide programs could start at the wrong time on locales that didn't use a dot for the decimal character.
2. Fixed: Using [Album Artist (auto)] in the path expression for a handheld device did not work nicely with mix albums.
3. NEW: Television recording in ts format for certain analog devices (WinTV HDPVR/Colossus and some other devices that use hardware MPEG encoding).
4. Fixed: Rating tags were not being properly supported for M4A files.
5. Faster: Improvements to the expression engine and expression-based searches to help performance (for example, [=Left([Artist], 4)]=[Abba] evaluates almost twice as fast).
6. Fixed: Multiple simultaneous loads on the WebGizmo server could cause a crash.
7. Faster: The WebGizmo server builds browsing pages up to 100 times faster.

17.0.125 (4/11/2012)

1. Fixed: Library server access key would stop hourly renewals if there was a temporary internet disconnection.
2. Changed: Shows with empty or 0 for the season number will still be eligible for TheTVDB lookup (since season 0 is used for specials, etc.).
3. Changed: Updated input plugin interface version (should be internal change, but please report any issues).
4. Fixed: When recording consecutive shows on the same television channel, MC could incorrectly stop recording, if the user started watching the channel and then stopped watching  after the first recording had finished.
5. Fixed: MC was not using the program name for folder name when recording television shows.

17.0.124 (4/10/2012)

1. Fixed: YouTube titles with international characters were not being supported nicely.
2. Fixed: Searching YouTube for international characters did not work properly.
3. SDK: Added NextFileKey to MCWS/v1/Playback/Info to allow easily getting the next file to play.
4. SDK: Added MCWS function File/GetInfo to make getting information about a single file easier.
5. Fixed: Audio Path did not work in television playback.

17.0.123 (4/9/2012)

1. Fixed: Corrupt data in an over-the-air television guide scan could cause a crash.
2. Fixed: When bitstreaming DSD over ASIO, silence could be output as 0x00 instead of 0x69, leading to an audible pop.
3. Fixed: Video playback with Gizmo of low frame rate videos could show visual artifacts.
4. NEW: Image import from cameras (and other devices) now uses WPD sub-system rather than WIA so videos can now be imported as well as photos.
5. Fixed: Image import via WPD/WIA wasn't honoring file types list from options dialog. Also, files that were already in library could get re-transferred.

17.0.122 (4/5/2012)

1. Fixed: 'Move center to front L/R' was not working in build 120 and 121.
2. Changed: Analog television tuners/video capture devices that use MPEG hardware compression will use Red October or custom filters settings in time-shifting mode.
3. NEW: Option to start analog channels in time-shifting mode.  The default is off.
4. Changed: Pressing Stop button while time-shifting analog TV channel stops playing the channel, instead of just canceling time-shifting.  The behavior is now the same for analog and digital channels.
5. Changed: Updates to webgizmo video playing, thanks scolex...

17.0.121 (4/4/2012)

1. Fixed: JRSS mixing was not working properly in some cases with build 120.

17.0.120 (4/3/2012)

1. NEW: Added the ability to DSP Studio > Output Format to output some variants like "2 channels (inside 4 channel container)", "5.1 channels (inside 7.1 channel container)", etc.
2. Changed: Revised the JRSS upmixing engine to support more flexible channel arrangements and to offer better performance in some cases (should be an internal change, but please report any issues).
3. Changed: Tuned the way television shows the channel and program when changing channels to make it easier to read.
4. Changed: The channel up / channel down buttons on the remote would not allow quick channel scanning.
5. Changed: When scanning channels quickly, the OSD updates immediately while the tune happens in the background (previously the OSD could lag behind).
6. Changed: The television control behaves better when a lot of tune requests are issued quickly.
7. Faster: Improved the performance of displaying OSD information for television (which also makes changing channels faster).
8. Fixed: Television recording skipped a final importing procedure (resulting in recordings being reported as missing in standard TV view) in the last couple of builds.
9. Changed: Find & Replace no longer allows making filename changes (which move files).  Use the find & replace feature in Rename, Move, & Copy Files instead.
10. Changed: WebPlay and WebRemote have been deprecated in favor of WebGizmo (WebPlay and WebRemote will remain for v17, but they are not shown in Options or on the root Library Server page).

17.0.119 (4/2/2012)

1. Changed: The TVInfo(...) expression function supports 'ChannelKeywords' to get the keywords of the channel for a guide program or recording.
2. Fixed: Some older Real Video clips would not play (RV10/RV20 format).
3. Changed: Volume Protection resets the level to 20% instead of 10% if there has been no playback for a long time (better matches Internal Volume changes from 17.0.83).
4. Fixed: DLNA Sinkprotocolinfo string had improper syntax.
5. Fixed: Using Play Doctor with linked zones could cause a crash.
6. Changed: When using Volume Leveling in 'Automatic based on current playlist' mode, a consistent +6.0 dB will be used when playing with Play Doctor (otherwise as Play Doctor changes the playlist it can cause the volume to fluctuate between tracks).
7. Fixed: Disconnecting some DLNA devices during playback could cause Media Center to freeze.
8. Fixed: Temporary DLNA audio conversion files weren't getting deleted until Media Center closed.
9. Fixed: Forced whitespace, indicated by slash space, in expressions was not working properly.
10. NEW: Playback of unprotected RTMP streams works with File > Open URL...
11. Changed: Clicking 'Resume Playback' on Gizmo when the server's Playing Now was empty would cause the server to show a 'There is nothing to play' error.
12. NEW: "Do not record reruns" option for television subscription recording.
13. Changed: Added the Media Sub Type 'Trailer' for movie trailers.
14. Changed: On the end of a Blu-ray, the menu dialog is no longer shown automatically (use Particles, the Menu button on the remote, the OSD, or the right-click menu to play sub-titles).

I lost my visualizations with this release.. I have gone back to 17.0.125 and got them back.  What I was using was Visualization/Collage/clean-n-tidy.  I have tried others and none of them work.

Same here. I was hoping this build fixed the issue I reported here, but it seems to have broken it all together.

Yeah I've loast all Visualizations as well.
Also I'm getting mkv's of bluray rips with an FPS tag of 23.98 when it should be 23.976?

After switching Libraries, when I return to my Main Library I find that my Playing Now queue has been cleared.

To make matters worse the "Recent Playing Now" playlists have all been cleared making it impossible to restore the queue I had taken the time and effort to create.


*Note: my double-click setting is: "Add to Playing Now (To End)" so this is not the issue.

Please resolve this as it is very annoying.

While running MC's Import function (particularly while updating thumbnails) the bottom 2/3 of my screen 'blacks out' for a few seconds.

I believe this may have begun with this latest version.

The internal volume control does not work when playing Netflix. Mute is checked and cannot be unchecked. No sound output at all.
Hulu works OK.

Further to this I'm getting glitchy video playback of bluray rip mkv files. It's only slight but it's there. I have an AMD Radeon 6450 based video card with the latest drivers, an I3 2100T Intel Processor with 4Gb of RAM running Windows 7 32bit.
XBMC playback of the same file is absolutely flawless, repeat XBMC is kicking arse!

PS: Thanks for a great overall product :)

Hello, it seems I got automatically info for my newly imported video's. For several reasons I don't want that.
I cannot seem to find a way in options to uncheck this feature.

Can someone reply to this?

Thanks in advance,

Just booted up my (Win 2K SP4) workstations after a lengthy absence and of course they updated to the latest stable version of MC17. Unfortunately all updates failed! I went back to the original copy (17.0.99) and all is well again. Problems with recent builds and W2K? Please help if possible. Regards..  j

After installation of version 129 I get a application crash of Windows Explorer (!) with Fault Module Name "JRTools.dll", Exception Code "c0000005", Exception Offset "0000000000046534"

Had to go back to version 117 which starts just fine

thanks

edit: it must have something to do with the menu integration in Windows Explorer... if I right-click on a file it crashes ALWAYS and the fault module is JRTools.dll

I run Win 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit version, with all latest updates

Just confirming the explorer crash reported by globetrotters1.

Instant crash every time I right clock on a folder to import.

Sounds like a problem with Windows menu integration.

Windows 7 - 64 bit.
