2. Fixed: The 'Damaged Layers' visualization had the word 'TEST' in it.
3. Fixed: YouTube playback could fail on some systems.
4. Fixed: Doing a field search with the search box (type field name, select, see list of field values) was not working properly.
5. Changed: Removed 'Google Weather' option from Theater View weather (it's no longer supported by Google).

17.0.184 (8/13/2012)

1. Changed: Updated LAV filters to 0.51.3.

17.0.183 (8/9/2012)

1. NEW: Added support for DSD DoP bitstreaming of 2x DSD (128FS).
2. Updated: Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
3. Fixed: Opening a FLAC file to read tags could unexpectedly cause a padding block to be added to the tag with some files.
4. Fixed: Drawing text with CJK characters would not wrap as expected in tooltips and other areas of the program.
5. Fixed: Playback of converted audio files could start slowly on Android 4.0 and newer.

17.0.182 (7/18/2012)

1. Fixed: Adding cover art to Flac files could cause a crash.

17.0.181 (7/17/2012)

1. Fixed: Using FormatDate(...) in the player bar could cause problems.
2. Fixed: When starting an image slideshow out of Theater View, the caption would not appear for the first image.
3. Fixed: WebGizmo playback was not working in some cases.
5. Fixed: Seeking could cause a sidecar subtitle to appear twice if the subtitle was set to show for the entire video.
6. Fixed: In some cases, the first subtitle in a video would not appear.
7. Fixed: Burning an audio CD from WMA format files was not working.
8. Fixed: Netflix search was not working.

17.0.180 (7/6/2011)

1. Fixed: In Options > Encoding, using 'Encoder settings...' could cause the encoder selection to be reset.
2. NEW: Secure ripping is faster when using certain drives that may read slowly to reduce noise.

5. Fixed: Transitioning from an 8-bit file to an 8-bit µ-law encoded file could cause audio to play incorrectly.
6. Fixed: If playback of a file errored, then the last file in the playlist was played, that file could show an incorrect warning when it finished.
7. NEW: Added native support for AU and SND files.
8. Fixed: If playback of a playlist encountered an input file with an audio format that was not supported, it could lead to a crash in certain cases.
9. Fixed: Hauppauge HVR-1600 was mistakenly included in the list of tuners that can not run analog and digital tuners simultaneously.

1. Fixed: Quotes in the name of a track could cause WebGizmo playback to fail.
2. NEW: Thumbnails look better and perform faster when drawing at large sizes.

4. NEW: Add support for reading more info for database fields when connecting to a DLNA server.
5. Fixed: A seek or flush could cause the first subtitle to appear multiple times until the subtitle expired.

17.0.174 (6/21/2012)

2. Fixed: TV recordings took too long to start in the last two builds.
3. Fixed: Scrolling player display text had a question mark embedded, rather than a graphic dot character.
4. Fixed: Move/Rename operation would fail on video files which shared cover art in the same folder as the video files.
5. Fixed: Some DVD movies when played over DLNA or on Gizmo would skip over sections.
6. Fixed: wmv conversion. New libavformat and libavcodec (version 54). Works with Xbox 360 and subtitles.

17.0.173 (6/14/2012)

1. Changed: Mono handling using 'No upmixing or downmixing' uses pseudo-stereo for music and the center speaker for videos (other than music videos).
2. Changed: Changed how JRiver URL Reader filter handle buffering by taking advantage of buffering info available in LAV splitter filter.  Should help YouTube
3. Fixed: Handheld sync with MTP devices was not working correctly because of a bug in creating the MC database on the device.
4. Changed: Camera acquisition from some device types (e.g. MTP) was dealing with images & videos anywhere on the device. Now it takes a user settable image source path defaulting to \DCIM\.

17.0.172 (6/12/2012)

1. Changed: More internal threading changes in television playback engine.
2. Changed: Build 171 would unintentionally show frames on images in Theater View.
3. Fixed: List truncation tool tips would look incorrect with build 171.
4. Changed: Carnac wouldn't understand Sage TV recordings when the counter number in the filename used 8 digits.
5. Changed: Playing Now Overview uses columns instead of stacked rows to show each zone.
6. Fixed: Playing Now Overview would not update nicely when zones were added or removed while it was showing.
7. Changed: Handheld conversion setting 'Simultaneous conversions' now applies to simultaneous downloads as well.
8. Fixed: Handheld sync from a library server was not obeying the "Enable DSP" flag so that volume leveling was always being performed.
9. Changed: While connected to a library server, "Enable DSP" is replaced with "Apply volume leveling" option in handheld conversion options.
10. Changed: When JRSS does center focused mixing (used for videos other than music videos), mono videos will output on the center speaker instead of as pseudo stereo.

17.0.171 (6/11/2012)

1. Fixed: Hulu playback was not working properly.
2. Fixed: Library-type search views were not working properly in Theater View (like the default Video > Guide > Search).
3. Changed: Clicking 'Save' in the image editor will apply and close any pending tool.
4. NEW: All thumbnail borders are drawn with skin items (that can be customized per skin).
5. Changed: Added 'Skip' cell drawing mode to skinning engine so a cell with no data (like the inside of a thumbnail frame) has no overhead (see Default Skin Items > main.xml > Border section for exmaples).
6. Changed: If thumbnail frames for images are disabled in Options, a drop shadow effect will be used in its place instead of the default thumbnail treatment.

17.0.170 (6/8/2012)

1. Changed: When using the mixing mode 'Clone side channels to rear speakers', if there's a rear center it will be used for the clone (at half-power to each rear) instead of the surrounds.
2. Fixed: Parts of the program that used a wait message could take longer to finish than expected.
3. Changed: Thumbnail borders are rendered at draw time instead of loaded into the thumbnail at load time (allows for more consistent sizing and more flexible styles).
4. Changed: Tuned the thumbnail bordering to use a smaller, more subtle shadowing.
5. Fixed: 6.1 to 7.1 upmixing was not working properly for the rear speakers in some cases.
6. Changed: Added more logging of handheld calls to debug a rare crash that can occur when loading a handheld.
7. Fixed: Using a fadeout on stop would not work properly when Volume Protection was enabled.
8. Changed: Fadeout on stop applies the volume using the internal audio engine instead of the volume slider, so it works nicely with any output device.
9. NEW: Added fadeout on pause feature (configurable in Options > Audio).
10. Fixed: Improved remote button handling during Netflix movie playback.

Starting with a clear library and then configuring auto import to monitor my WHS 2011 server for music, pictures and movies it stops importing at 9999 files.

I'm monitoring it as UNC share path i.e, server\music etc

It imports 10,000 at a time.  It should  continue.

MC changes particles filename at some point when I'm splitting a radioshow and therefore master file for particle is not found anymore and it is unplayable. Main file is fine.

Show's filename has date information at the end of filename e.g. ...20120223_10.10.00.mp3.
I have given a track # for a particles and naming seems to follow it. track# 2 is then 20220223_10.10.00.mp3 and so on.

Hello, this post is copied from 17.0.184 thread which is now locked and the question remains unreplied.

--Quote

Great, really great improvement of MC.
I've been using MC15 for about two years, on WHS (library server), XP, Vista and Win7 Pcs around the house.
The problem was always, the different configuration to play video files, according to platform on each PC.
In MC17, this is finished. Red October takes care of all these.
Have installed MC17 in all PCs. No problem at all (with one exception which I'll outline below), no configuration, no fine-tune.
All videos in my library, played on clients (including videos with HD sound) without problems, right after the installation.
Therefore, I'll be purchasing MC17 in the next few days.

Now the exception:
I have a Vista x86 laptop in my 8-year son's room (it's the only vista PC in the house).
Of course, his account in this laptop is not in administrators group (for obvious reasons).
Have installed MC17 from my account (administrator) and everything plays smoothly from my account.
When it comes that my son logs on with his account, some weird things happen. For example, DVDs (from folder) do not start with DVD menu but, straight from the main movie.
How can I run MC17 from a limited account, without problem?

--Unquote

I'd like to clarify that, all PCs receive the library from WHS (library server) and, my son does not have an account on WHS.

Thanks

Documents (shared folder in WHS)

I have put there a couple or more PDF files, and have associated 'Data' files (Tools > Options > File types) with pdf extention in MC. (Also have defined the program 'Adobe Reader' to open these files).
As a result, under Audio / Images / Video in MC, I have also 'Documents', where I can find the above menioned PDF files.
I'm trying to attach a thumbnail (a picture) to each one of them, without success.
Right-clicking on PDF file > Cover art > Add from file, I can select an image file but, this image is not then applied as the thumbnail of the PDF file.
Is there an other way to assign an image file (as thumbnail) to a Data file?

With MC set to run on Startup in Theatre View, it does not have focus. Need to click on window to bring to the forground in order to use the remote. Also noticed on starting a video that Display View doesnt always take full screen focus. I can sometimes see the Windows Task Bar along the bottom of screen (Task Bar set to auto-hide). Clicking on the display window will bring it back to foreground.

Downgrading back to 17.0.182 will eliminate these issues.

The You Tube issue seems not to be a priority JR. I have been complaining about it for awhile. There should be some other way to get the required path information systemically without waiting for a new MC version every time You Tube changes something. Waiting months for JRC to fix this has become somethig of a joke. Clearly their efforts are aimed elsewhere.

Minor issue, but using Windows 8 RTM, pressing the Play/Pause button on my Microsoft keyboard doesn't play/pause JRiver. Worked fine in Windows 7 though, so maybe just a Windows 8 bug, but letting you guys know just in case you have to do something new/special for Win8.

"Disable display from turning off" (still) doesn't work.
If there is any logging available - I'll be glad to help in solving this.

Youtube and Hulu does not work in Theater mode.
Include a logfile when I´m trying to play a youtube file.

At 2401635 in the logfile it tries to open the file with no success.

Same on both my machines with Win7 64bits and Vista 64bits.
Using .185 version.
