19.0.55 (10/11/2013)

1. Fixed: Filenames containing combining diacritic marks (German umlauts for example) were displayed incorrectly in file listings and could cause crashes.
2. Changed: Volume up / down commands from hot keys (volume keyboard buttons, remote, etc.) work in 5% increments instead of 1% increments.

19.0.54 (10/10/2013)

[Build was pulled due to not containing the latest code updates]

19.0.53 (10/8/2013)

1. Fixed: Deadlocks (beach-balls) could occur when viewing file lists with thumbnail images.
2. Fixed: 2XDSD was included in the drop-list for DSP / Output Format / Output Encoding even though it's only supported with ASIO on Windows.
3. Fixed: Genre field could be incorrect when imported from certain M4A format files with integer id3v1 genres.  In MC they would look like an '8' in parenthenses instead of "Jazz" for example.
4. Fixed: Handling of 32-bit integer input files was not working in the last few builds.
5. Fixed: Added support for MP4 files that used a custom genre atom in their tag, but stored a standard genre by putting a number in parenthesis.
6. Fixed: Double-click on the pause button while playing was not stopping.
7. Changed: Updated the Indonesian translation (Thanks elda).
8. Fixed: Fonts that used left or right overhangs could draw with the overhang portion cropped.
9. Fixed: The white-list for allowing system volume to work while bitstreaming was not working with some Resonessence Labs hardware.
10. Changed: Added the ability to use the token [User] in the playerbar to display the name of the current user.
11. Fixed: Customization to the playerbar would not always take effect right away.
12. NEW: Added 'Set levels from decibel meter' button to Room Correction to make it easier to calibrate levels.

19.0.49 (10/2/2013)

1. Fixed: Copying zone settings was causing crashes.
2. Fixed: In the JRiver folder under Application Support, an unnecessary "Generic" folder was getting created at program startup.
3. Fixed: A running instance of Media Center would prevent OSX from shutting down.
4. Fixed: Audio calibration tool was not available because the plugin 'in_audiotest' was not included with the build.
5. Fixed: Skin effects menu item was missing.
6. Fixed: Many non-applicable image/video items were still in the options dialog and some menus.

19.0.47 (9/27/2013)

1. Changed: Increased default internal audio buffer size and provide more user control over internal and hardware buffering.

19.0.46 (9/26/2013)

First build of MC19 for Mac.
1. Changed: Uses the Boost library for regular expressions which is more powerful than the previously used Posix library.

18.0.219 (9/26/2013)

1. Fixed: Radio buttons were not working.
2. Fixed: Locate > On Disk (external) was not working.
3. Fixed: If Media Center's window position got placed off the top of the screen, it could not be moved back into position.  Now a bad position is fixed at start-up time.

1. Fixed: Files view in tree would not show any files when a folder name in the path contained a bracket character '[]'.
2. Fixed: Mute for system volume was not working.
3. NEW: Next/Previous keyboard media keys are now working.  When held down, they fire FastForward/Rewind events.
4. Fixed: Horizontal scroll direction was the opposite of the Mac 'Natural' scroll direction.
5. Changed: Web links bar is now available (Amazon, AMG, Wiki, etc.).
6. Fixed: Media Center was trying (and failing) to update at program startup. The startup check has been removed.

18.0.217 (9/9/2013)

1. Changed: When media files stored on network drives cannot be found (drive not mounted), files are no longer removed from library - just marked as unavailable.
2. Fixed: Thumbnail drawing could cause crashes on some Macs running 10.6.8 OSX (and maybe others?).
3. Changed: Re-enabled skin effects dialog since MMX functions have been rewritten to utilize SSE instructions.
4. Fixed: In Panes view, file path locations were not working as a panes category for browsing.

18.0.216 (9/5/2013)

1. Fixed: Automatic library backups were not taking place.
2. Fixed: Audio input configuration under: "Tools / Options / Audio / Advanced / Configure input plugin..."  was not working at all.
3. Fixed: System volume control was still not working with some USB DAC's (didn't make it into the last build).

3. Fixed: Custom column sorting window would show up empty.

2. Fixed: Font picking dialog did not initialize to the current font settings.
3. Fixed: Text was unreadable in disabled text edit fields.
4. Fixed: Once Cover View was selected, the top line of the display with the 'leave cover view' button was inaccessible so you couldn't exit cover view.

18.0.202 (6/24/2013)

1. Fixed: Some ALAC files (e.g. those produced by 'Sound Studio 3') were not playable because of a strange looking 'alac' mp4 atom.  We now ignore the strange data.
2. Fixed: Media Center was not honoring the typeface chosen in the font picking dialog.

18.0.201 (6/21/2013)

1. Fixed: Trackpad scrolling did not support the fine scrolling mode, so it was difficult to scroll to a particular item in a list.

3. NEW: Support for choosing text fonts using the Options dialog 'Select font...' item under Tree & View.
4. Fixed: Tag saving to APE files was not working (Mac only).
5. Changed: Switched the default audio buffering method to 'Hardware default' to work better with devices that don't properly support hardware buffer size changes (configurable in Options > Audio > Output mode settings...).

7. Changed: When a file has no Replay Gain, a Replay Gain of -10dB will be used if no other files in Playing Now are analyzed (otherwise the average of analyzed files is used).

Updates channels is not working (still).  The latest build (.55) will not play back 5.6MHz DSD if the DSD conversion feature is engaged. It simply crashes. I did not have this issue with earlier builds.

There is something peculiar happening, and I don't know what triggers the problem, so I'll describe the symptoms.

After doing some in-cell tagging, MC will just start playing tracks.  But it is affecting something else.  It causes the Mail program to start playing back various notification sounds (new mail, mail sent, etc.).  The sounds don't quite until I quit Mail.  After that, MC gets into a weird state.

The problem has occurred about 4 or 5 times now.  Today, I had to kill MC (it became unresponsive), and it left a zombie process that would not go away, and it held a lock causing the database to be open in read-only mode.  I had to reboot to clear up the problem.

I too have been seeing many if not all of those symptoms, either singularly or in various sequential 'groups', for quite a while.

Playlist Bug
-IF- adding to a playlist by dragging the song into the action window is going to crash MC, it will do so in the first 5 songs dragged.

Action window bug
When a song is dragged to the action window, a black line remains in the list window of album songs.  The line remains if the list window is closed and reopened.

[Meh.]

I've been having a problem getting files to import.  I want the automatic setting to be my default, but it won't pick up any new files that I add when I rip a CD.  When I try to do the same thing with the manual setting, MC completely freezes up, although I don't get the beach ball.

[johnjen]

Another change to my observed 5 sec do-loop.

Now all I have to do is click the stop button, then the play button, and the album will resume where it left off.

JJ

[johnjen]

Now the program just stops playing the current track, jumps to the next and resumes as if nothing is wrong. MC was playing in the background and nothing else was going on.

I can no longer see artwork for any new files i have imported since the update.  They do show in lower left hand corner when i am playing back an album, but there is no album artwork.

Last couple of builds, including .55, consistently crash (quit) in the midst of "analyzing audio." My audio files are on a NAS but this was never an issue before. Log attached.

Last couple of builds, including .55, consistently crash (quit) in the midst of "analyzing audio." My audio files are on a NAS but this was never an issue before. Log attached.

The last three files in the log are:
/Volumes/music/SACD-ISO files/Bill Evans - Sunday At The Village Vanguard SACD-ISO/The Bill Evans Trio - Sunday At The Village Vanguard.iso
/Volumes/music/SACD-ISO files/Bill Evans – Moon Beams SACD-ISO/BETMB.iso
/Volumes/music/SACD-ISO files/Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby SACD-ISO/Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby.iso
If you analyze these manually, does it crash?  If so, can you dropbox one of them to me?
