19.0.66 (10/30/2013)

1. Changed: When doing real-time DSD output, changes of input sample rate will restart the hardware (otherwise an undesired resampler can end up in the audio chain).
2. Fixed: When switching output encoding to AC3, the channels box would switch to '4 channels' but not save the setting correctly so that playback could fail until you manually changed another setting on the page.
3. Changed: When searching for backdrop images from htbackdrops.org, artist mis-spellings will be better handled.
4. Changed: Updated YouTube integration to work better with recent YouTube changes.
5. NEW: CAF formatted audio files that contain Linear PCM data can now be played in JRiver audio engine (using input plug-in).

1. Changed: For clarity, it's no longer possible to open DSP Studio for the format converter unless the option to apply DSP is on.
2. Fixed: Custom video mode settings were not being stored in the new zone options location, causing them to not clone properly to a new zone (requires manually (re)configuring settings one time before cloning).
3. Fixed: Some volume settings would not reliably clone to a new zone.
4. Faster: Improved the performance of gets on the filename field in the database by around 15%.
5. Faster: The FileFolder(...) expression is about twice as fast.

1. Fixed: Multiple devices with the same name could cause playback to target the wrong device in some cases with WASAPI.
2. Fixed: Padded bitdepths could sound incorrect with build 63.

2. Faster: Speed improvements to date handling that help performance in many areas of the program.

6. Changed: Removed extra entries for Greece from the countries list in television configuration.
7. Fixed: Preventing the display from turning off during audio playback works properly with playback in multiple zones.
8. Internal: Revised how menu tracking works (should be internal, but please report any menu related issues).
9. Fixed: A corrupted sorting cache file in app data folder could cause the program to fail to run.
10. Fixed: Lists were not always updating color information when switching skins.

7. SDK: Scrollbar skinning supports glyph overlays so that the arrow aspect ratio can always be correct regarless of scaling.
8. Changed: Updated Noire skin with high resolution resources (still a work in progress).
9. Changed: Reduced the amount of logging and computation in JR Bitrate Monitor filter.

7. Fixed: When playing on an LS client a television recording in transport stream (.ts) format, the length of playback was limited to the length of recording at the moment the playback started, even though the recording was on going on the server.
8. Changed: When playing on an LS client a television recording in transport stream format, if the server is still recording the file, playback switches to a jtv file so the playback length can grow with the recording.

9. Fixed: Customization to the playerbar would not always take effect right away.

Since version 60 or so  I get stutters using WASPI and Kernel with my Music Streamer II+. Direct has no stutters.

[JimH]

Try checking the WASAPI option called "Disable Event Style...".  Try adjusting the buffer size.  I'll split this to a new thread.

[StFeder]

There is a hover bug for me (Win 8.1 64 bit). Appears at the top player bar. Here is a video (sorry for the circle...)
http://youtu.be/u370pUsxAEQ
Fixed 

Still there:
Double click a file in Playing Now which is included twice in the Playing Now List makes MC play the right file but the view jumps to the place where the file is listed first.

[DoubtingThomas]

I suspect there still might be a mouse click loss issue.  I cannot duplicate this at will.  But when in pane view and right clicking on a artist name (in my pane for Artist) it sometimes ignores the right click.  If I first left click on the Artist name, then right click it always works, but right clicking on the Artist name without it highlighted does not always work...  I have no issues or problems with right click in any other program.

This has been going on for many versions, it's too easy to just think I clicked wrong, but there is a pattern and only in MediaCenter19.

[JimH]

Mouse problems are sometimes caused by Logitech's software.  Uninstalling it might help.

[DoubtingThomas]

Jim, I can try uninstalling my Logitech software, and reinstall...  and will.  But I have not updated that software in ages, since before I upgraded to v19.  I *need* that software to remap the mouse extra buttons... so I can call MC19.exe for play/pause from one of the extra buttons.

Also... I connect from a laptop to my main PC using gotomypc daily, and that laptop/mouse also randomly loses right mouse clicks as I described.

Still, it could be my system (I've learned to never swear it's not...).  It's so random, that I put off reporting it for too long. 

We'll see if anyone else reports/confirms the same issue.

Since this update when I look in my media library  Video / Files I no longer have the HD I had shared over the network hooked to my router, Instead I have a Undefined item, If I go into the Undefined item it them repeats all of my file locations including again the Undefined and if I go into that the same thing. It goes on this way into infinity.............

Example.

F:
G:
H:
UNDEFINED
      F:
      G:
      H:
      UNDEFINED
            F:
            G:
            H:
            UNDEFINED

So on.

No where does it ever show the original directory structure on the Network shared drive instead if simply repeats the drives that are on my pc. Oddly the files themselves are still in my library and I see the path they are pointing to.

Using Gizmo I can not even get to my content as it the drive no longer shows up and just going into undefined repeats the loop.

Lastly if I go into AUTO-IMPORT JRiver crashes, So I can even remove the directory path.

Really hope you can fix this cause it hosed my media library

EDIT. Put back version 190054 and the files show up correctly however JRiver still crashes when I go into configure auto import folders.

I could check and confirmed that the problem;
    "Topic: DAC Sound problem changing tracks"
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=84711.0
has been completely fixed with 19.0.66.  Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Hi,

I can report the same problem since upgrading to 19.0.66. All my music/pics/videos are on the network, nothing local. It is doing this with all of them.

Thanks

Simon.

The issue for which I report on 18.10.13 still exist:

"Media Center 19 don't save the settings when I play youtube videos inside the player.
1.Choose a file from youtube to play inside the player. 2.Before start playing the file, MC is asking you a few options. 3.Choose  play the file in the player and put tick in the box for keep using this answer."
