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

18.0.143 (3/1/2013)

1. Fixed: The Move,copy,rename dialog was broken in the previous two builds.

18.0.142 (2/28/2013)

1. Fixed: Playing Now Overview was not working nicely.
2. Fixed: Fixed a possible crash due to internal user interface changes.
3. Changed: When displaying Recordings in standard television view, the date column shows the date value from "Date Recorded" field, instead of showing only the day of week name.
4. Changed: Image captions in Theater View show something nice in search, details lists, etc. and are user-customizable (they are still intentionally suppressed in image thumbnail lists).
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (thanks to Junghwnan).

18.0.141 (2/27/2013)

1. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).
2. Fixed: Input plugins were not getting properly installed on a fresh install, causing possible import or playback problems.
3. NEW: Added WASAPI Event Style option "Play a little silence on DoP stop (removes click with some DACs)".
4. Fixed: Television could crash with the last few builds in certain cases.
5. Changed: More work on keyboard focus system (shortcuts were not working in some cases, etc.).
6. Changed: MC18.exe /MCC allows a space after the comma (ie. "MC18.exe /MCC 10011, -1").
7. Fixed: Auto-complete path suggestions shown in a filename editor could output an extra backslash.
8. Fixed: Pressing tab to select an edit control suggestion could incorrectly shift the focus to the next control on the dialog.

18.0.140 (2/25/2013)

1. Fixed: Broken mp4 autofps transcoding.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
3. Fixed: Keyboard shorcuts were not always working in some cases depending on the input focus.
4. Fixed: When closing a modal dialog, the input focus would not be restored to the control it was on before the dialog.
5. Fixed: Playing Now would not auto-size columns properly when loading when the auto-size option was enabled.
6. Fixed: Detached display visibility was following the parent window, so switching tabs would unexpectedly hide the detached display.
7. Faster: Returning from full screen image playback is faster.
8. Changed: DLNA: Only provide upnp:albumArtist (Twonky specific field) for devices that specifically request it. This will mostly affect display on renderers when MC is the controller. Some devices accept this field but it interferes with the standard items like {upnp:artist role=AlbumArtist}
9. Fixed: Starting bookmarked audio playback from a stopped state would put the position slider at zero instead of the bookmark position.

18.0.139

Experimental testing build not released to the public.

18.0.138 (2/22/2013)

1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
2. NEW: Handhelds get expanded video conversion profiles.
3. NEW: Added autofps mpeg4 conversions.
4. Fixed: Small typo in naming of Audio Calibration clips (Tools > Advanced Tools > Audio Calibration...).
5. Fixed: A file encoded to DSD (DSF format) using the JRiver encoder would show as 1/8 the length in Foobar.
6. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

18.0.137

Experimental testing build not released to the public.

18.0.136 (2/19/2013)

1. Fixed: Get Cover Art From Internet was incorrectly showing a small preview with no dimensions (only applies to last few builds since the JPEG engine was changed).

18.0.135 (2/19/2013)

1. Fixed: Gizmo would not connect to build 134 due to an unintentional change in the 'ProgramName' MCWS response.
2. Fixed: Switching the focus to a different application while a list editor was open could lead to a crash.
3. Changed: Removed Computer Audiophile scrobbling (it's no longer supported by Computer Audiophile).
4. Fixed: Editing a scheduler task could switch the time for a one-time event to the current time.
5. Changed: Disable high precision seek for DLNA control, helps with broken renderers (i.e. Denon).
6. Changed: DLNA type for non-converted ts files to work on more devices (i.e. new WDTV and Bravia TV's).

18.0.134 (2/18/2013)

1. Fixed: The position slider was not working properly at the end of a track in some cases.
2. Fixed: Cross-fades were not being applied properly with ranged (CUE, etc.) playback.
3. Fixed: Some WAV files could be incorrectly detected as DTS WAV files, possibly causing them to fail to import or play.
4. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
5. SDK: Setting an audio stream / language with MCC_PLAYBACK_ENGINE_SET_AUDIO_STREAM works with DVD.
6. Changed: Tightened up user-facing naming so the program will only be referred to as "JRiver Media Center 18" or "Media Center" (but not other derivates like "Media Center 18", etc.).

i have the following problem.

When i am trying to view subtitles in greek language. Everything is garbled.

I tried changing video->subtitle fonts-> script to Greek encoding, but after pressing OK... when i reopen the dialogue box, it still shows Western as the selected script.

psam · « **Reply #2 on:** March 02, 2013, 12:11:17 pm »

One CUE files issue not fixed yet.
The big flac/ape file containing all tracks is still imported as an extra long track of the album. The only workaround is to create new customised views for audio, and filter by Duration.

We'll take a look at this on Monday, thanks for the report.

Visualizations doesn't seem to work properly in this build.

For example when I'm in full screen via Theatre View at the end of the last song of a playlist or when I stop to play a song MC shut down by itself without asking for.
When I'm in Info view or list view visualization is not displayed on the right of the screen.

I get the same issue on two computers, first computer running Windows 8 Pro 32bits and the second one running Windows 8 Pro 64 bits.

StFeder · « **Reply #5 on:** March 02, 2013, 03:26:08 pm »

There are two focus issues with MC.

One (described in detail here) makes MC play the wrong song on double click to playing now and a smaller one described here.

audunth · « **Reply #6 on:** March 02, 2013, 04:43:16 pm »

There are still some YouTube issues. The "something went wrong with playback" error pops up at random. Trying the same video several times will sometimes produce the error and sometimes play fine. Maybe it's because it doesn't hit the same bitrate each time?

jhermosillo · « **Reply #7 on:** March 02, 2013, 09:35:26 pm »

When I installed this build, the app is not working properly, This screens are all messed up, I cant access to the Views at all. so I can play any music.

Thanks

I can confirm this, also with several other skins. Blue Steel, which I use, works well.

This bug does not appear on an MSC device such as a USB drive stick: http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/9989/snagiteditormar42013113.png

This bug does not appear on WinXP SP3.

Workaround for loss of Sync Now and Options buttons: in media tree, right-click device.
Workaround for loss of Recheck Sync buttons: perhaps use a user-defined key/menu entry mapped to the Recheck Sync command (untested).

If anyone has got MC to work with an MTP device (Creative ZEN or any other) on Win7 as it does on WinXP, please do say.

This is probably Windows-related. Unfortunately, MC still depends on Windows' settings for text-subtitle encoding. You should change the Windows system locale setting to Greek, which requires immediate restart. If by any slim chance, you will need to display a subtitle which requires another type of encoding i.e. French, you will have to change and restart again. I hope this will be fixed.

crisnee · « **Reply #14 on:** March 03, 2013, 01:39:20 pm »

I've had continuous problems with recent releases of MC. I went so far as to reinstall MC17 with which I have no problems. I run everything the same in both versions. After a lot of experimentation it turns out the kernel streaming seems to be at the heart of the matter.

Kernel works fine in MC17. In MC18 build .94 and possibly before that MC no longer allowed the computer to sleep. The reason: the end of the last track in Playing Now, does not release, i.e. I'd have to click manual stop to release it fully.

In later builds MC not only wouldn't allow sleep but it would crash if I attempted to do other things (click other tracks, search etc.) while a track was playing. In the latest build (.143) MC crashed on its own about 15 seconds after start even before I played a track or did anything substantial, or possibly did anything at all.

Hi fonaklas!
I think you should open your srt sub file with notepad and then save it as unicode. I also use greek subs and never had any problem. Let me know if it works.

"I tried changing video->subtitle fonts-> script to Greek encoding, but after pressing OK... when i reopen the dialogue box, it still shows Western as the selected script."
THIS IS A BUG. I HOPE THEY'LL FIX IT!

I too experience this issue across three separate installations, all Win 7 64-bit. I too was using the Black On Black skin, and am able to change skins and reload MC to get a usable UI.
