1.
NEW: Multiple movie discs (Blu-ray, DVD) can be ripped at once.
2. Fixed: Customizing some burn settings like the between tracks mode would not work properly.
3. Changed: Parametric Equalizer only exposes channels above the standard 8 if DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels is configured to use more (also allows accessing up to
32 channels with Parametric Equalizer when using that many channels).
4. Fixed: When making a change in a Parametric Equalizer filter and then immediately switching to a different filter or DSP, the changes could be lost.
5. Changed: With the low and high shelf filters in Parametric Equalizer, the bandwidth setting alters the slope (previously it was ignored).
18.0.89 (12/5/2012)
1. Fixed: A few command line issues.
18.0.88 (12/4/2012)
1.
NEW: ZoneSwitch feature that can route playback to zones based on rules (Menu > Player > Zones > ZoneSwitch...).
2. Fixed: Shell extensions were not working due to command line changes in build 85.
3. Fixed: The Auto-Import dialog could crash in some cases.
4. Changed: When using the automatic EPG download option, genre will be filled.
5. Fixed: Facebook upload was not working properly.
18.0.87 (12/3/2012)
1.
NEW: The main / default title to play for a Blu-ray will be read from the AnyDVD disc.inf file if it exists.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.
3. Changed: When a 3d Theater View list changes to a full resolution image, the transition is smoother and more efficient.
4. Fixed: Aspect ratio management for thumbnails in Series and Season views for Theater View was not working properly.
5. Changed: Improved how Theater View 3d lists interact with touch.
18.0.86 (12/3/2012)
1. Fixed: If Theater View failed to create a device (possibly because of madVR exclusive), it could crash instead of retrying or showing an informative message.
2. Fixed: A few command line things were not working properly with build 85.
18.0.85 (11/30/2012)
1. SDK: Added command line option /ShowTreePath. For example: MC18.exe /ShowTreePath Audio\Recent
2. Changed: Revised command line system used by the main program and the launcher (should be internal change, but please report any issues).
3. Fixed: ID3v2 tags that used UTF-16 for the description field of the image frame (APIC) would not load properly.
4. Changed: Removed mini-skins from the view menu (may return later; more here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75971.0).
5. NEW: Revised how
movie thumbnails are handled with regards to blanks and aspect ratio (changes are experimental, feedback welcome).
18.0.84 (11/30/2012)
1. Changed: The popup message box is replaced with OSD message when starting a television channel in low disk space condition. The popup could not be seen because it hid behind the main window.
2. Changed: When disk space is lower than 20 GB, television in time-shifting mode will show a warning message periodically. When disk space is lower than 2 GB time-shifting will be canceled and can not be restarted.
3. Fixed: When switching audio tracks, the program could hang (only applies to build 78-82).
18.0.83
Experimental testing build not released to the public.
18.0.82 (11/29/2012)
1.
NEW: Live playback (ASIO line-in and WASAPI loopback) are available with File > Open Live...
2. [
NEW: Created a new latency management algorithm for live playback that better copes with DSPs that work in large blocks like convolution.
3. Changed: The Tag Action Window shows a truncation tooltip on mouse-over for any field name that isn't displayed completely.
4. Fixed: Deleting a zone while it was playing would cause a crash.
5. Fixed: In some cases the Last.fm cache of similar artists would not work properly, causing Play Doctor to be slower than necessary.
6. Fixed: Zone linking and unlinking in conjunction with Play Doctor could lead to problems in some cases.
7. Changed: When a Blu-ray or DVD disc is temporarily unavailable, we no longer pop-up a message box. Instead, the list view for the disc shows appropriate text about the situation.
8. Fixed: Pane tagging could crash when picking the new value entry for a non-field type category.
9.
Faster: The Theater View caption / template system is around 200x faster picking templates for files (should make file and guide views noticeably faster).
10. Fixed: After doing a Ctrl+A, a list could reset the selection to only the first item if the focus shifted.
11. Changed: Keyboard navigation in the main tree skips items that redirect to other items like the root of 'Audio', etc.
12. Changed: Revised the default video views in Standard View (only applies to a new user or if you reset views with View > Add View > Reset All Library Views To Default).
18.0.81 (11/28/2012)
1. Fixed:
Some video files did not play on Library Server clients.
2. Fixed: MC could not do seeking, FF, REW, jump, etc. on video files that did play on LS clients.
3. Fixed: Shift+Up/Down wasn't working properly in the panes or tree.
4. Changed: Keyboard navigation in a tree no longer triggers auto-expand (use left/right to toggle expansion).
5. Changed: Left/right navigation in the panes works more logically with nested pane values (left/right does expansion on a parent item and switches panes on any other item).
6. Fixed: If starting Play Doctor playback encountered an error, it could crash.
7. Fixed: The Auto-Import dialog could crash with a pure virtual function call (hopefully fixed but unable to reproduce, so please report any problems).
8. Fixed: The 'Close' button on the top right of the bottom list in a library view had incorrect vertical text alignment.
9. Fixed: Vertical text alignment of the main player text could be off a little.
10. Fixed: Closing the program in Media Server mode could leave a view on the screen in some cases when using a glass-based skin.
11. Fixed: In edit controls with spell-checking, the red underline could draw in the wrong spot.
12.
NEW: Added WASAPI - Event Style option 'Mute on start (eliminates hardware clicks when starting some hardware)'. May help DoP / PCM transitions on certain hardware (feedback appreciated).
13. Changed: Background television tasks (such as recording and EPG updating) are ignored if the TV feature is not enabled.
18.0.80 (11/27/2012)
1. Fixed: Drag-n-drop into Media Center from an external program was not working.
2. Fixed: The COM automation SDK was not working properly.
3. Fixed: Image playback was not working.
4. Fixed: Mousing over a thumbnail stack in a list did not animate through the images in the stack.
5. Changed: Return of several dialogs, including the incomplete shutdown, favorites organizer, etc.
6. Fixed: The Performer Store was not working with the Chromium browser engine.
7. Fixed: Fixed a couple formatting issues in the Performer Store.
18.0.79 (11/26/2012)
1. Fixed: When LS client plays a jtv file that is still actively been updated on the server, the duration was not updated if the "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found" option is on.
2. Changed: "Play local file if one that matches Library Server file is found" does not apply to jtv files.
3. Fixed: When a button transitioned states, it would animate a larger area of the UI than necessary (causing worse performance, and sometimes dueling animation).
4. Changed: Switched COM automation underpinnings away from MFC (should be internal change, but please report any new issues with plugins).
5. Changed: Updated Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.
6. Changed:
Removed remaining MFC from main program (some features will be unavailable for a while).
18.0.78 (11/19/2012)
1. Fixed: Possible crash when switching tracks.
2. Fixed: Remove Tags did not work for mp4 files.
3. Changed: Updated Chinese Language file. Thanks kelijun.
4. Fixed: On Windows 8, a fixed drive could (still) appear as a WMDM handheld device in some cases.
5. Fixed: When using the Chromium web browser engine, clicking a link that received special handling like a download from YouTube could result in an error page being shown.
6. Fixed: The mouse wheel was not working in Theater View with the last few builds.
7. Changed: The Podcast episode tag customization system uses the regular expression engine and expression editing control instead of using a special Podcast-only language.
8. Fixed: Maximizing options could cause clicking in the list to stop working.
9. Changed: Merged the audio CD burning effects options into the main CD burning options page (previously it was a separate popup).
18.0.77 (11/16/2012)
1. Fixed: Podcast webpage views were not working nicely with glass-based skins.
2. Fixed: The tooltip on the volume slider would not update while mouse-wheeling to show the new volume.
3. Fixed: If a panes view used the default sorting, right-click and double-click on a pane value could use files in a random order (instead of respecting the default sorting).
4. Fixed:
ALAC mp4 files created in MC did not work in iPods because iPods do not support the newer MPEG-4 standard.
5. Fixed: Typed navigation in the panes could behave incorrectly if a pane item got selected that was particularly slow to evaluate.
6. Fixed: Using Party Mode with no password was not working properly.
