http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v17/latest/MediaCenter170132.exe17.0.132 (4/20/2012)
1. Changed: When a commercial skip file (EDL) calls for a skip at the start of playback, the skip is performed before starting playback so that it's faster / smoother.
2. Changed: Skins that used frame transparency (glass) could show an empty sheet of glass instead of a black screen when first starting video playback fullscreen.
3. Changed: Tuned how video playback responds to video size change notifications to (hopefully) fix cases of a black screen showing when starting playback.
4. Fixed: Particles could be corrupted when used with Library Server sync.
5. Fixed: MC repeatedly ran an unnecessary timer when doing a scheduled recording of an analog television channel.
6. Fixed: The detailed tag dump for FLAC files was not working for a couple builds.
7. Fixed: DLNA updateID for DLNA server content directory.
17.0.131 (4/19/2012)
1.
NEW: Skins can use transparency in the background of the edit, combobox, and search control.
2. Fixed: 2D visualizations were not working in the last few builds.
3.
Faster: Visualizations are better managed by the framework so that they're loaded and unloaded less often, and their window is not created just to query for modes.
4. Fixed: Stopping or deleting a playing video that had changed the display resolution / refresh rate while in Theater View could lead to Theater View no longer drawing.
5. Fixed: Mouse selection of DVD Menu buttons didn't work right when "Window / Crop edges" was selected from the right-click menu.
6. Fixed: When grouping on a decimal field like FPS, numbers that varied by less than 0.01 could cause the same value to appear in multiple groupings.
7. Changed: The search engine considers numbers within 0.01 of a value to be a match (so [FPS]=29.97 returns 29.969, 29.973, etc.).
8. Changed: The 'Rename, Move, & Copy Files' dialog will show <invalid change> and do nothing if some rule attempts to output a path that isn't rooted.
9. Fixed: ICY metadata was not being read nicely (and could even cause audible clicks) from some online radio stations.
10. Changed:
Allow book-marking across library server/client for all video types rather than just JTV.
11. Fixed: Cover art in the cover art folder was not being found for optical discs or ISOs.
12. Fixed: If a combobox contained text that wasn't in the droplist, opening and closing the drop list would switch the text to the first item in the list.
13. Changed: When in-place-editing multiple files with varying values, [Varies] will be shown like already done in the Tag Action Window.
14. Changed:
Library Server sync includes television guide records, stacks, and particles.
17.0.130 (4/18/2012)
1. Fixed: Setting the day or month field on a file with en empty date could fail.
2. Changed: TheTVDB lookup was not putting the original air date into the date field for television episodes.
3. Fixed: MCWS would double unescape URL parameters, making it impossible to use a literal & or ?.
4. Changed: Merged the APE tagging code for APE, MPC, and WV (should be an internal change, but please report any issues).
5. Fixed: DVD playback to Android or from play
particles did not work well - video image would often break-up and pixellate.
6. Changed: Updated
WebGizmo to better size to the full browser for video playback (thanks
Scolex).
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.
