History: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=74442.0

18.0.97 (12/18/2012)

1. Changed: Renamed the DoP marker format 'dCS, Meitner, etc. (0xAA)' to 'Legacy format (0xAA)' since it's only required with older devices.
2. Fixed: Build 95 and 96 were not working on machines without SSE 4.1.
3. Fixed: Following a movie rip, the recently ripped playlist would be continually re-displayed until the action window was closed.
4. Fixed: Disk Writer output could hang in some cases.
5. Changed: Disk Writer names files using the time the output started instead of using artist / name fields (which don't really make sense for video).
6. Fixed: Live source like loopback and line-in did not work nicely with disk writer.
7. Changed: When doing live playback, WASAPI and ASIO were using 10ms as the maximum hardware buffer size.  This could lead to audio hiccups, so now the user setting is always honored.  If you do loopback playback, you might try a small buffer size to reduce latency.
8. Changed: Improved buffer allocation scheme used by WASAPI - Event Style, so that lower latency settings will work better.
9. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.4.MC (custom update for Media Center) when using Red October HQ.
10. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).
11. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

18.0.96 (12/17/2012)

1. Fixed: The disc insert dialog could display with no default selection.
2. Changed: Improved support for Blu-ray subtitles where multiple subtitles are supposed to appear on the screen at once.
3. Changed: When doing quick zoom (keys 1-9) while viewing an image, the OSD will show the zoom level.
4. Changed: When zooming an image, the OSD shows the zoom level for the default show time of 3 seconds instead of 7 seconds.
5. Changed: The new right-click while holding the left mouse button action for in-place editing works better when multiple items are selected.
6. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.4 when using Red October HQ.
7. Fixed: Blu-ray and DVD discs could not be ripped when selected from the "New Media Action" dialog.

18.0.95 (12/14/2012)

1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file.  Thanks kelijun.
2. NEW: You can in-place edit under the mouse cursor by doing a right-click while holding the left mouse button down (or by pressing the keyboard menu key while holding the left mouse button down).
3. Faster: The core string hash function (used to build library views, run searches, etc.) uses SSE 4.1 when possible and is around 3x faster.
4. Faster: Core library data engine is faster when dealing with fields where only some files have a value for the field (makes searches, view switches, etc. faster).
5. Fixed: Launcher commands like MC18.exe /Mode Theater were not working properly if Media Center as not running.
6. Changed: Updated libav for video encoding.
7. Fixed: bug that could cause trouble with some video transcodings.
8. New: Added mpeg2 1080p transcoding option for DLNA.

18.0.94 (12/11/2012)

1. Faster: When clicking the search box, the search suggestion box appears faster.
2. Fixed: Dates way in the future (like 50,000 AD) could cause performance problems.
3. Changed: Tuned the aspect ratio handling for movies and TV shows.
4. Changed: Made thumbnail aspect ratio standardization optional (Options > Tree & View > Thumbnails > Standardize aspect ratios).
5. Changed: MC will show an information message box when it can not play a television channel due to lack of available tuner.
6. Changed: Updated to madVR v0.85.3 when using Red October HQ.
7. Fixed: Remove Tags did not work for AIFF files.
8. Changed: Merged the blank thumbnail images for video and television.  Added [MC]\Data\Default Art\NoThumbVideo2x3.png that's used for movies and TV series.

18.0.93 (12/11/2012)

1. Fixed: Maximizing and restoring the main window could cause it to get confused about its own visibility, leading to problems with in-place editing (and possibly other things).
2. Fixed: If something were to hide the main window while the Tag Action Windows is editing, it could lead to a crash.
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
4. Fixed: Searching in Options and then clicking 'OK' after making a change could lead to a crash.
5. Changed: ZoneSwitch was only engaging for files in the main library (so not when dragging and dropping from Explorer, etc.)
6. Changed: ZoneSwitch rules that don't specify zones to stop will always be evaluated, regardless of the current zone (rules that specify play and stop zones only engage when the current zone is in the play + stop zone set).
7. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .54.1
8. Changed: Updated madVR to v0.85.2 when using Red October HQ.
9. NEW: Added 'Reverse polarity' filter to Parametric Filter.
10. Fixed: Line breaking rules for text layout could put a trailing parenthesis on its own line (which didn't look right).
11. Fixed: Aspect ratio enforcement for movies and TV series thumbnails was not working nicely with the small icons (Alexicons) in a list.
12. Changed: When using madVR (i.e. Red October HQ), madVR's custom interface is used for video color control.
13. Fixed: Right-clicking on Action Window > Tag > Playlists would show two menus.
14. Fixed: Cleaned up the right-click menu for Action Window > Tag > Playlists so that it only shows items that make sense there (instead of showing all the items the regular tree shows).
15. Changed: When hardware acceleration option is on, television playback prefers DXVA over QuickSync.
16. Fixed: A few problems when ripping multiple movie discs - canceling didn't work, movie name didn't update in the action window, disc wouldn't eject after ripping.

18.0.92 (12/10/2012)

1. Fixed: Loudness was not working properly for video playback with some output formats.
2. Fixed: The automation SDK was not supporting name-based function lookups properly in IDispatch::GetIDsOfNames.
3. Fixed: OGG channel mapping for 5, 6, and 8 channel files was not correct.
4. Changed: More improvements to Arabic text rendering.
5. Changed: Updated all translation files to include the latest strings from the source code.
6. Fixed: Track Info visualizations would not always switch their image when switching tracks (may have only applied when using the Chromium engine).
7. Changed: When deleting files not included in a sync, the program will only delete files that are at the location it would have placed the file (the previous safety check tried to look at the base path, but didn't work well with complex base path rules that included expression functions).
8. Changed: TV Recordings list in Television Standard view no longer includes TV shows that are not recordings done inside MC.
9. Fixed: There could be a drawing artifact above the quick find toolbar.
10. Changed: TV series images use the same 2:3 aspect ratio enforcement scheme that movies use.

18.0.91 (12/7/2012)

1. NEW: Improved support for Arabic joining and bidi text layout in the font engine.
2. Fixed: Several issues with the COM automation system (only applies to builds after 78).
3. Faster: Drawing in the image editor uses bilinear stretching instead of supersampling to improve performance.
4. Faster: Improved the image editor rendering pipeline when building previews of tool effects.
5. Faster: The image editor 'Crop' tool preview drawing uses a custom SSE routine to darken portions of the image (must faster than a more general purpose method it was using previously).
6. Changed: TV guide entries more than 5 days in advance show the month abbreviated instead of the full name.
7. Changed: Made the Theater View keyboard narrower so that on a 1080p display using default sizing, there's about the same number of rows and columns on the keyboard (makes typing with arrows faster).
8. Changed: Moved the 'Clear' function for Theater View keyboard typing to a key after 'Backspace' instead of putting 'Clear Search' (or similar) on the top roller.
9. NEW: Theater View search supports texting-style typing using the number pad on a remote (1 is backspace, 0 is space, other numbers are letters).
10. NEW: 'Loudness' that applies (roughly) the ISO 226:2003 loudness correction curve as you turn down the volume to provide a more natural volume (requires using Internal Volume, reference level of Internal Volume defines the baseline, no correction is applied at volumes above baseline).

18.0.90 (12/5/2012)

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.

AVG is going nuts when I try to install .97...it quarantines the JRTools.dll file for some reason (says it has the win32/heri virus). I'll switch off AVG and try just MSE and see what happens. Never had a problem with AVG and MC not playing nice before.

Hi.

The just introduced mpeg2 1080p option is causing block graphics on my Sony TV.

I'm wondering if this option is supposed to be mpeg2ts compliant? (That's what I've been discussing (for quite some time)  with Bob over in the networking section)

Is there a whay to figure out exactly, what you guys mean with high/medium/low bandwidth? The point is my TV ( every TV supports a specific maximum bandwidth )

We ( me and Bob) have been also discussing multi processor transcoding to address of the potential performance issues, I've been experienceing in that area. I'm wondering, if you looked into that subject.


I'm also wondering where e.g. a forced ac3 (stereo) conversion can be selected.


Let me kow if I can support you in any way.

Scrolling over thumbnail views is horribly slow in this build for me.

And changing Media keys mode or deleting user library fields, crashes the program when pressing "ok". I experienced the same behavior in build .94 but it does not happen in build 90.

when i start to play a mixed list of videoos and fotoos in standard view, it always breaks, depending on what i start with, only videoos or only fotoos are send to playing now. this is also with zoneswitch disabled. it does work correctly in Theater View though. also with zoneswitch enabled.
