19.0.151 (7/11/2014)

1. Fixed: Get Movie & TV Info was getting a low resolution image from Rotten Tomatoes.
2. Faster: Browser components cache their expression so using a big expression in a pane is faster.

7. NEW: Added '4xDSD in native format' to the real-time DSD encoding choices.

19.0.149 (7/2/2014)

1. Fixed: After deleting files from a Smartlist, the list would not always update properly.
2. NEW: Added a "Save settings as defaults" button on television recording wizard, to save certain settings, including auto tagging, to be applied in subsequent recordings when they are scheduled.
3. Fixed: The previous build (148) was not showing files on handheld devices.
4. Fixed: MCWS/v1/DSP/Set changes didn't take effect until a dialog was shown (now changes take effect right away).

4. Faster: Converting audio to 64-bit for internal processing is up to 50% faster.
5. Fixed: Parsing of some JSON formatted web results was incorrect, especially arrays of data.  Could affect results from Youtube, Facebook, TheMovieDB, Rotten Tomatoes and others.
6. Changed: Reworded "Start recording early by:" to remind users that they can use negative values to delay starting of recording a television show.
7. Changed: Merged DVBC frequency tables Switzerland.cablecom.xml and Switzerland.UPC Cablecom.xml
8. Changed: DLNA sends alive messages when it resumes from standby.

The following issues remain:

1 - When DSP is set to encode to DSD (1x, 2x or 4x), if changing from a PCM track to a DSD track it encodes the native DSD input to the DSD rate set in DSP Studio and causes a strong noise if using ASIO. This is happening with bitstreaming set to DSD. Stopping and playing the DSD track again makes the bitstreaming work properly.

It is just like DSD studio can not do the handover to DSD bitstreaming properly.

3. Fixed: When playing a different sample rate there could be problems.

19.0.160 (8/4/2014)

1. Fixed: Track changes could be early when the audio format changed.

I'm still experiencing these two issues. It happens reliably on two different computers and with any two tracks the meet the following criteria.

If I'm playing a standard definition track that is being followed by a high definition track, 24-192 for example, the former track stops playing about 5 seconds early.

[Blaine78]

last few builds and this new one getting an issue with video playback, if sample rate has to change to match video, JRiver freezes. Using ASIO, USB, Mytek, no audio processing.

Sure, this problem still exists.

Problem still there. Tested with Flac to MP3 and vice versa.

Confirmed.  The problem still exists.  Just heard it mp3->flac.

Installed 19.155, no problem.

MC 161 still crashes when ending playing a 2 channel flac to a multichannel flac regardless of the sampling rate of the involved flacs.

Similarly, going from a 96k FLAC to 192k FLAC, the last 96k stops short (about 5 seconds of silence), then the 192 starts abruptly with a short little chirp from the previous track first.  I've heard other similar behavior going up from 44.1K as well.

Buggy with DLNA on Gizmo. Was working fine a few weeks ago.

[bblue]

1. Click on a Playlist
2. then under its name above PLAY  SHUFFLE  UPDATE ORDER etc, click on the down arrow. 
3. Select Sort By, then Custom. 
4. Order the list the way you want it to be sorted.
5. then select Preset to name this setting. 
6. Then click Save.  The name My Preset will show up hilighted. 
7. At this point if you do anything with your mouse that causes the hilighting to disappear, you can't enter anything or re-select the name. 
    OK and Cancel don't work either.  The only way out is X.
8. The only way to keep the name hilighted is to quickly move the mouse up to the Enter Preset Name box if it ends up anywhere else. 
    Otherwise, you're back to the same loop.

The problem has not yet been resolved, sorry to say. -jim

I'm getting a little burp from the prior track as well.

[ypslon]

This bug is present since 19.0.156 at least.
If you rename Car Audio to whatever you want, playlists/playcharts will move to that NEW playlist and their names will be wipped out Car Audio index.
If you delete Car Audio, it will reappear empty.

[Anthony Denver Jazz]

I can't transfer music files from my PC to my Android telephone.  I am still able to do it in MC18.
I do this by going to TOOLS > SEND TO > DEVICES.  Is there something I need to have set differently in
MC19?

Thanks,
Anthony

[Dirhael]

In this update, most of the time when progressing from one music track to the next (no matter if manually skipping, or "natural" progression) the music stutters for a few seconds (sounds as if you've got a scratched CD). At this point the player shows "buffering...". This happens no matter what codec/container is used.

 All my music is stored on a NAS, connected over a dual link gigabit LAN. This never happened with earlier builds. Downgrading to *.160 solves the issue.

[Soshanna]

When tagging audio files, I use various fields for information like bio, date purchased, label, etc.  I also use the 'country' field.  I am going to be doing a factory restore on my computer so I tested on another computer to make sure every field that I tagged was still there, and this country field didn't carry over and was lost.     

I know you can use the Library tools>rename, move & copy files...which I have done when I moved files to an external, and that works fine.   But when moving files to a new computer, this field is lost. 

[Hendrik]

Backup the MC database , and not only the media files, and all data will be kept.

[fominator]

On .cue files track navigation is not correct when using resampler. Please fix it.

And why is the area of window resizing is so big? It's not comfortable to use others options.

[Beamer]

In the last few builds I am having a problem converting .flac to .wma

I have tried the same data base from two entirely different systems and the result is that JR hangs after converting ~2000 files out of the 20,000.

I am converting to wma and leaving the original database intact by sending the data to a different folder.

I have sent the log to support in case it is of interest.

Exactly the same issue here! And I also experience this during manual track changes if those have different sample/bit rates.

I reverted back to 158 and that solved it. (edit: I don't/didn't have 159 and 160 so didn't test those versions)

Just change the URL of the current download link to reflect the version you want, and you can get pretty much any released build. For build 160, here's the link: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v19/latest/MediaCenter190160.exe

Just performed the conversion to MP3 instead of wma and it converted without any issue.  Looks like a wma conversion anomaly
