Download:
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v19/latest/MediaCenter190074.dmg

19.0.74 (11/12/2013)

1. Fixed: A bug in the menu tracking system could cause crashes.

19.0.73 (11/11/2013)

1. Fixed: Frequent crashes due to a threading bug introduced in build 71 with the way JRTools objects were created.

19.0.72 (11/7/2013)

1. Fixed: Media Network was broken in the previous build. A crash would occur when thumbnails were sent to a remote device.

19.0.71 (11/6/2013)

1. Fixed: Alphabetic sorting of lists could be incorrect in some situations with some locales.
2. Fixed: At application startup, JRTools objects were not getting created in the correct order - possible cause of crashes.

19.0.68 (11/1/2013)

1. Changed: Auto update now launches the downloaded DMG updater.
2. Changed: Improved support for integer mode on devices that use multiple output streams.
3. Fixed: Back slash in filename caused file to not import.

19.0.67 (10/29/2013)

1. Fixed: Integer playback on little endian devices that used padding was not working.
2. Fixed: When caps lock was on, lists would think the shift key was pressed, making them difficult to use.

19.0.65 (10/28/2013)

1. Fixed: Integer playback on devices that used padding could result in incorrect playback (testing appreciated).
2. Changed: Sorting of devices in Options > Audio is more logical.

19.0.64 (10/25/2013)

1. Fixed: Integer playback mode was not working properly with devices the used MSB padding instead of LSB padding.

19.0.63 (10/25/2013)

1. Fixed: Integer playback mode was not working correctly with devices that used padding.

19.0.62 (10/25/2013)

1. Changed: Integer mode will work with more hardware.
2. Fixed: Media Network was not working properly.

19.0.60 (10/24/2013)

1. NEW: Added support for integer mode playback ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=84657.0 ).
2. Faster: Improved performance, with JRMark scores are about 40% higher for the database section and 5% higher for the image section.
3. NEW: Real-time 2xDSD output using DoP (configure in DSP Studio > Output Format).
4. Fixed: Dropboxes (in tagging action window for example) would sometimes lose keyboard focus so you couldn't type anything.
5. Fixed: Drop suggestion boxes were drawn without a border.
6. Faster: Core drawing engine uses SSE acceleration for flushing and flood filling (helps performance of all user interface).
7. Faster: Speed improvements to date handling that help performance in many areas of the program.
8. Fixed: Crashes on 10.9 (Mavericks) in Media Network http header handling.
9. Fixed: App signing was not being done right.  Could cause warning message at install time about unrecognized developer ID.
10. Changed: Improved how Options > Audio exposes Core Audio devices to make device selection more clear.

19.0.57 (10/17/2013)

1. Fixed: Ape files with very long paths (> 260 characters) could crash on import.
2. Fixed: Ape format files on read-only drives could not be imported or played.
3. Fixed: Right-to-left reading text (Hebrew for example) was not displayed correctly. Symbols for each word were all bunched on top of each other.
4. Changed: The processor extension requirement has been lowered to SSE2 (added in 2001 to Intel, 2003 to AMD). Previously SSSE3 was required.
5. Fixed: When converting audio to WAV format, the RIFF chunk size could be set wrong by 8 bytes.
6. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).

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.

rilke1999: please try the next build and let us know if it's working better for you

Seemed to be a problem with the database. I had to reimport the lib (>120 000) files (classical music only) and now it seems to work. thanks

OK, so this definitely seems related to playback, unlike the previous stability problems over the past week.  Can you try some things to narrow it down?  
1. turn off integer mode
2. turn off memory playback
3. play a standard def. track, like an MP3 or something, still crash?
4. send me a track that's causing a crash repeatably

These are the last lines from the log file:

0037545: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Successfully entered integer mode (589856 bits per sample)
0037545: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Integer mode result: 1
0037546: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Hardware buffer size: 512
0037546: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Buffer arrangement: 2
0037547: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Success opening device
0037547: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::StartCoreAudio: Finish (1128 ms)
0037547: 238809088: Playback: CCoreAudioPlugin::Open: Finish (1128 ms)
0037549: 302096384: Playback: CWaveOutBin::CreateBin: Finish (1139 ms)
0037549: 286183424: Playback: CWaveOutBinPlayThread::Thread: Start
0037549: 302096384: Playback: CMJWaveFeeder::Thread: Preparing to feed data
0037549: 302096384: Playback: CMJWaveFeeder::Thread: Memory playback: 1; Maximum play buffer bytes: 1026667315; Grow by bytes: 268435456; System available bytes: 1283334144
0037549: 302096384: Playback: CMJWaveFeeder::Thread: Running feeder loop
0037579: 302096384: Playback: CPlayerZone::OnNewStream: Start
0037580: 302096384: Playback: CPlayerZone::OnNewStream: Finish (0 ms)

The "589856 bits per sample" line seems a little strange, and also there doesn't seem to be a lot of head room between the system available bytes and the play buffer bytes.

Yes I can turn off the settings you mentioned. There has not been any one file that repeatably causes a crash, but will see what occurs.

Ofttimes it seems these crashes happen upon initial launch. After I relaunched I was able to play the track that caused it to crash as well as an album of 24/48 tracks  all the way through.

Run this version.

2 tracks in the music just stops.

Restart and continue to play...

A few albums later the dreaded your DLNA server has lost its connection dialog box pops up (haven't seen that one in a while.

EDIT:  An interesting twist to the 5 second shuffle…  This time all I had to do was stop playing, wait for the app to completely stop, then restart the very track it got stuck on, and it started playing normally

Try a reboot.  Start a thread if you need help.

One additional crash today. This was after playing Redbook files all day unattended without an issue.


Turned on integer mode.
(Memory play still off)
Rebooted Mac Mini.
Launch MC.
Clear log file.
Select a 24/192 album to play.
Crash.

I emailed the log file and Apple crash report, and provided a dropbox file to you John on the track that caused the issue. Similar to last crash, it was a 24/192 file with high resolution art work. And like last time, subsequent playback works fine for hours on end.

Playing several albums.  I waited until the player stops itself at the end of an album.

I try to quit, and all I get is a spinning beachball into perpetuity.

Could this be processes running that are 'stuck' or eating up clock cycles, just because?

Now to force quit.

Edit: the database is corrupted such that I have to restart the Mac and most probably the router as well.

2nd Edit: after a complete re-boot etc.  Playing an album and 3 tracks into it the music stops, the tracks disappear, the app switches over to the MC player (USB), and as I write this the whole app vanishes off the screen.

Still having some problems with JRemote. After playing for some time it becomes unresponsive, not reacting to song changes etc. When i get back to Album few it will only show a few albums, but most of the database is missing. Restarting JRemote doesn't help, restarting Media Center solves it. Went back to 19.0.68 which works completely stable in this matter but MC sometimes crashes using the menus.
