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

18.0.178 (5/6/2013)

1. Fixed: MC would crash recording television in TS format in the last couple of builds.
2. Changed: Updated Korean language file (thanks to Junghwan).
3. Changed: Revised the window transparency system used by the player bar in Display View to help performance and fix a bug where it could get stuck redrawing and not hide.

18.0.177 (5/1/2013)

1. NEW: Added Theater View support for SHOUTcast (add using Options > Theater View > Add...) (it's recommended that you reset file info templates for the best experience using Options > Theater View > Customize file info panel... > Manage... > Reset All Templates To Default).
2. Fixed: Focus could shift unexpectedly to the list when navigating some rollers in Theater View with build 176.
3. Changed: Added a new stock field 'Popularity' (string that supports flexible values; web radio uses it to put something like '3123 listeners' in).
4. Fixed: The Theater View file info template option to 'Hide when empty' was not working for some fields like number of plays that showed 'never played' when empty.
5. Changed: Theater View's Playing Now shows artist backdrops when playing web radio stations that contain ICY metadata.
6. Fixed: PNG images that used 1-bit or 4-bit palettes were not loading properly.
7. Fixed: Launching a video from Explorer when MC was not running could crash.
8. NEW: Added a Polish translation (thanks to Janusz Grzybek)
9. Changed: Updated all language files to have the latest strings from the source code.
10. Fixed: Netflix movies were getting cut off on the right side.
11. Fixed: VCD video would not play.

18.0.176 (4/29/2013)

1. Changed: When there's a 3d drawing error, the error text will not appear for a little while so that coming out of madVR exclusive, which could require a reload of a 3d device, will look cleaner.
2. Changed: If Theater View fails to load and reloads, it will stop trying to reload after 3 reloads in 30 seconds (to avoid looping forever if something isn't working).
3. Changed: Red October will use DXVA Copy Back with nVidia hardware when possible instead of CUVID when using madVR ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=80258.0 ).
4. Fixed: When returning to Theater View, sometimes the input focus could be unexpectedly shifted from the list to the roller.
5. Fixed: Digital television could crash on stopping.
6. Fixed: Ceton (and other CableCARD) television tuners did not have color controls.
7. Fixed: CD Labeler was crashing.

18.0.175 (4/26/2013)

1. NEW: ASIO output supports DSD bitstreaming using DoP.
2. Fixed: Some videos during conversion would not detect the end of stream properly, so could stop a few seconds early.
3. Changed: Removed the safety valve in the video converter that would stop a conversion if it stalled for too long (Red October should make it unnecessary, and it's possible the valve triggered in cases where it shouldn't).
3. Changed: When multiple optical media disks are present, Theater View now shows the first one available rather than none.
4. Fixed: Queued files for a data disc burn could not be seen because "Show files in subfolders" button was not available.
5. NEW: Media network, add album art for xbox 360 videos.
6. Changed: Media network, fix xbox 360 conversion crashes.
7. Fixed: Crash could occur when clicking the "Rip Tracks" button in the CD header view.
8. Changed: When ripping audio from multiple drives, the 'Details' button in the Action Window jumps to the first drive instead of showing an overview view for all drives (which didn't have the same functionality so could be a little confusing).

18.0.174 (4/25/2013)

1. Fixed: The progress shown for an individual video file during conversion was not displaying correctly.
2. Fixed: Image playback from Library Server was not working in the last few builds.
3. Fixed: If the computer slowed down too much during concurrent video conversions, it could stop a conversion early.
4. Fixed: Encoding to ALAC could crash in some cases.
5. Fixed: On the Import wizard, clicking cancel when it recommended not using an empty auto-import folder list would leave the wizard in a strange state.
6. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

18.0.173 (4/24/2013)

1. Fixed: Pressing Pause button while television was playing in non-time-shifting mode put television in partially paused state (audio continued to play while video was paused).
2. Fixed: CUE files that contained URLs in comments could lead to a crash.
3. Changed: When saving a JPEG with a high quality (90 or higher quality, which is used for cover art saving), no chrominance subsampling will be used.
4. Fixed: Horizontal scrolling in the Playing Now > Overview view was not working nicely.
5. Fixed: Long M4A files (over 10 hours) could show as 'Live' or with the wrong or empty duration in the library.
6. Changed: MC no longer overrules custom video renderer selection when playing wtv/dvr-ms files.
7. Changed: Flicking images from side to side with the mouse will no longer show the playerbar.
8. Fixed: Starting a playlist of images + music playing could show a "failed to load image" for the first couple images.

18.0.172 (4/22/2013)

1. Fixed: The launcher didn't have the full program name embedded in it, so file associations could show they were associated with "Media" instead of "JRiver Media Center 18".
2. Fixed: If a DLNA device requested metadata for a file that's no longer in the library (or never was in the library), it could crash.
3. Changed: When converting a video file, aggregates with names like 'Index.bdmv' and 'Video_TS.vob' will use the name field for building the new filename instead of preserving the existing filename.
4. Changed: Video conversion could stop early if the encoder paused for a while; now it waits much longer before deciding something went wrong.

18.0.171 (4/19/2013)

1. Fixed: A call to JRWorker.exe to import a file (used for video) could fail when the video was referenced in a playlist.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
3. Changed: Playing an image from a mixed media type list will play only the images.
4. Changed: Handheld sync displays more accurate progress and time estimates in cases where the upload, conversion, or download is running much slower than the other concurrent stages.
5. Changed: Updated traditional Chinese language file (by directly converting from the simplified Chinese file).
6. Fixed: Hulu playback was not working.
7. Fixed: In some cases, the row of times at the top of the Theater View television guide could stop updating as you scrolled right.
8. Fixed: When switching to a television channel of a different tuner type (for example ATSC to cable), the confirmation popup window (if the user has configured to show it) might be shown twice.
9. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
10. Faster: Improved performance of dragging the thumbnail size slider.
11. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.56.2 (thanks to nevcairiel).
12. Fixed: MC could crash if user tried to stop a television playback immediately after starting to play a channel.
13. Changed: Television engine ignores Stop request if it has not finished starting to play a channel.
14. Changed: If the program is configured to use a cover art folder that is not available or writable, the default cover art folder will be used for that run of the program (the same validation runs when setting a folder and won't allow you to set a non-writable folder).
15. Changed: If the program is configured to save art next to files, it will nicely handle cases when sidecar artwork is not writable on the file system (by falling back to the cover art folder).
16. Changed: DLNA: Allow playlist manipulation in conjunction with setNextAVTransportURI.

18.0.170 (4/16/2013)

1. SDK: Added ZoneID, ZoneName, and LinkedZones to MCWS/v1/Playback/Info response.
2. Changed: Pushing 'Enter' on a secondary roller in Theater View that switches views will shift the focus to the list.
3. Changed: Red October uses LAV filters version 0.56.1.
4. Changed: Red October HQ uses madVR version 0.86.1.
5. NEW: A saved Play Doctor Playchart allows setting the number of output files to 100, 250, 500, or 1000 (previously it was locked at 100).
6. Changed: When a JPEG has no tags, no IPTC tag will be written instead of an empty IPTC tag.
7. Fixed: When a CUE file pointed to a missing WAV file, it would lead to problems.
8. Fixed: MC passed some incorrect parameters to some OpenCable television devices.

18.0.169 (4/15/2013)

1. Fixed: Ceton InfiniTV (and other OpenCable devices) did not work in client-server situation (i.e. client could not play a cable channel with tuner only available on server).
2. NEW: When enabling Media Network, a wizard is shown that steps through starting the server, getting an Access Key, and selecting the best server for your renderer.
3. Changed: Consolidated the list of DLNA server presets and added a preset for Audiophile DACs.
4. Fixed: SSDP discovery (used by DLNA) was not working in some cases in builds 167 and 168.
5. Changed: DLNA options to be more descriptive of what's actually going on.

Visualizations now completely stopped working. 3D Visualizations, Track Info and Cover Art are ok.topic=80341.msg547433#msg547433">here[/url].

edit: will be solved with next bulid Matt said here

[Transilium]

Here the same problem with Aeon and G-Force

[6233638]

Just browsing through my library, and I noticed that some [Name] and [Artist] fields are being truncated, even though auto-size is set to not cut-off long values.

It seems to be happening when the name field includes parenthesis at the end, or the artist field has more than two artists.
It's definitely not due to the length, because auto-expand will go much wider than it is for them, when those two conditions are not met.

Two examples from different tracks which are giving me trouble. (they both just happened to be Queen)

Title:
Las Palabras De Amor (The Words of Love)
Las Palabras De Amor (The Words of L…

Artist:
Queen; Montserrat Caballé; Freddie Mercury

MC has been periodically been drawing itself like this lately:



If I move or resize the window in any way it goes away.  It seems to happen when the machine has been sleeping and then I wake it up and run MC (which is in Library Server mode normally) right away.

I saw the same when I got home today.  I resized the program and it was fine after.

If anyone figures out a way to trigger it, please share.

(ps. We're getting so close to a UI library that works nicely on two platforms, but it's not been an easy project.)

Guessing... Is it when an Action Window does something when MC is minimized or in Library Server mode?  I have MC scripted to run my handheld sync a couple times per day, so when I just "opened" MC, it looked like:



So, since mine is scripted, that would explain why I'm seeing it essentially every day (it has happened twice today, including just now, and when I posted the last screenshot).  But maybe it is also triggered when MC does stuff like download an update in the background (which shows an Action Window to prompt you to install it)?

[AUser]

Not sure if this started happening with the latest version (.178)

About 50% of the time the popup window is sort of blinking into view (like it's being drawn quickly and then does a fade-in at a slower speed)
It's also being drawn transparent (100% of the time), even though popup transparency is set to disabled
Enabling the option gives exactly the same display 'blink'

Bug: can't use CMYK files for album art.

This wasn't intentional, it just happened that the best quality cover I got off Google Images for an album was using CMYK and I didn't realize it.
Took me a couple of minutes to figure out why nothing was happening when I was trying to add it - there were no error messages, it just accepted the file and didn't appear to do anything.

I don't really mind if you convert the files to RGB (as long as it's done correctly, and at 100% quality) or if you simply reject the file.

Could you send a sample to logs at jriver [dot] com, and include a link to your post?

Thanks.
