19.0.74 (11/11/2013)
1.
Faster: Acquiring images from an Android (or other WPD device) using Action Window > Camera is much faster.
2. Fixed: Possible crashes due to internal optimizations in the last couple builds.
19.0.73 (11/7/2013)
1. Changed: INI files are stored at UTF-8 instead of UTF-16 (only applies to portable installs and library backups).
2. Fixed: Possible crash serving cover art with the web service in build 72.
19.0.72 (11/6/2013)
1. Changed: Revision to how threading is managed when starting video playback (attempt to work around a sporadic hang on some systems when starting video playback).
2. Fixed: Some files could trigger unnecessarily as having external changes in build 70 and 71.
3.
SDK: Added MCWS/v1/Handheld/Sync to the web service.
4.
SDK: MCWS/v1/Control/MCC can optionally wait for the command to finish before returning by setting Block=1.
5.
Faster: Improved the concurrency of MCWS (previously calling the same function multiple times at once would cause the calls to take turns).
6.
NEW: TV recording rules allow optionally specifying tags to apply to the recordings they make (similar to how auto-import folder tagging works).
7.
Faster: Reduced the chance that clicking a list item will block until the drive spins up or the network path is tried.
8.
Faster: When checking for the existence of a missing network drive, which can be slow on Windows, checking the state of other drives from other threads will not also be blocked.
19.0.71 (11/6/2013)
1. Changed: Red October updated to LAV Filters 0.59.1. (
Thanks, Hendrik)
2. Changed: When the library is empty, Library Server won't expose itself to other copies of Media Center on the network.
3. Changed: When television playback gets too close to the front edge of the time-shifting buffer, MC will pause video briefly until enough data are buffered.
19.0.70 (11/4/2013)
1. Changed: When playing audio calibration clips, shuffle mode is ignored and Playing Now is automatically displayed.
2. Fixed: When acquiring images from a memory card that had a volume name, the memory card could appear two ways in the list of sources (WPD and drive).
3. Changed: Revised how system file times are mapped to internal times to work around a legacy Windows issue with regard to DST (should be internal change, but could cause some file times to shift by an hour when updating library).
4. Fixed: The CD burning 'Status' column was not repainting nicely as a burn progressed.
5. Changed: Updated Korean language file (
thanks Junghwan).
6. NEW: Added the ability for 'Clean File Properties' to move articles back to the front of a value (i.e. change 'Beatles, The' to 'The Beatles').
7.
NEW: The option to move articles, ignore articles, etc. uses a list that includes English, Spanish, German, and French articles.
19.0.68 (11/1/2013)
1. Fixed: Starting playback in linked zones could crash in rare cases when using WASAPI.
2. Changed: Improved support for Theater View
captions that use multiple lines (better display in lists, rollers, etc.)
3. Changed: When drawing mixed size text to a single line, the text system will vertically center the smaller text instead of top align it.
4.
Faster: The skinning engine is faster at drawing user interface elements (it's now considerably faster than MC18 and earlier, even when using high resolution skin images).
5. Fixed: DVB television channels with E-AC3 audio stream were not found during channel scanning.
6. Changed: Pressing enter in a wizard could close the wizard without running the finish code.
19.0.67 (10/31/2013)
1.
NEW: Zones and users are exposed on the top roller in Theater View views (only shown if you have multiple zones or multiple user accounts).
2. Changed: The Info button on an MCE remote will show Theater View Playing Now when in Theater View (and continue to show the OSD when in Display View).
3. Changed: Switched F11 and Shift+F11 so that
F11 is equivalent to the green button on an MCE remote (and shift F11 will loop including Standard View).
4. Fixed: File path category grouping was not working properly in some cases.
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).
6. Fixed: Drawing of smooth transitions could blink incorrectly.

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.
19.0.64 (10/28/2013)
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.
3. Fixed: Build 63 would not update list item text properly after an in-place edit.
19.0.63 (10/25/2013)
1. NEW: Added support for CAF audio files in JRiver audio engine (using DirectShow filters).
2. Fixed: ASIO playback to big-endian devices might not have worked correctly.
3.
Faster: Categories based on file path are faster.
4.
Faster: Improved performance of core list and tree user interface component (helps performance of fill, update, etc.).
19.0.62 (10/24/2013)
1.
NEW: Real-time 2xDSD output using DoP (configure in DSP Studio > Output Format).
2.
Faster: Speed improvements to date handling that help performance in many areas of the program.
3.
NEW: MC will import Apple "media type" ('stik' atom) value from mp4/m4v/m4a files, and map it to "Media Sub Type" field in MC.
4. Changed: Changed how MC builds DirectShow graph for Hauppauge HVR 1950 USB TV tuner device so video quality is better.
5. Changed: MC will use correct analog TV standard according to user configured country code, instead of relying on user configuring standard manually.
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.
11. Changed: Czech language translation updated (
thanks Johnny B).
12. Changed: Updated all language files to have the latest strings from the source code.
19.0.60 (10/22/2013)
1. Fixed: Playing DSD content on Gizmo was not working nicely.

3. Fixed: Possible deadlock in the server core when seeking Gizmo video.
19.0.59 (10/21/2013)
1. Fixed:
Rainmeter was not working with the native CD Art Display support (remember to edit the Rainmeter player name to 'CAD').
2. Fixed: If loading a
DLNA device's service failed (maybe because the device was turned off), the device could enter a permanent error state and not work properly even once it was turned back on.
3. Changed: Updated German language file (
thanks Bytestar).
4. Fixed: During drawing of the program, image data used for debugging could be put on the clipboard.
5. Fixed: MC saved incorrect country code for television, causing problems such as defaulting tuners to wrong type.
6. SDK: When rendering a skin item at a scale less than the skin item's native scale, any fixed sized borders will be shrunk accordingly.
7. SDK: Scrollbar skinning supports glyph overlays so that the arrow aspect ratio can always be correct regarless of scaling.
