7. Changed: The device info dump string is copied to the clipboard.
8. Changed: Updated the copyright date on the splash screen.
9. NEW: Library fields can be configured to have the edit type "Check" and then a checkbox will show for the field.

1. Fixed: Another try at a build for 64-bit trouble.

20.0.24 (10/14/2014)

1. Fixed: The WDM driver was not signed on 64-bit platforms.

20.0.23 (10/14/2014)

20.0.21 (10/6/2014)

20.0.20 (9/30/2014)

1. Changed: More tweaks to video clock synchronization logic (to hopefully fix slow motion playback of TV recordings).

20.0.19 (9/30/2014)

1. Fixed: Setting the date on an image would always clear the IPTC and XMP tags instead of writing the new date.
2. NEW: Added DSP/Loudness function to MCWS to get and set the loudness value.
3. Fixed: Handle Leak in settings and video functionality.

2. Changed: DLNA: Added definitions to the sinkProtocolInfo to be able to present that we render high resolution MP4 files with AAC and AC3 audio.
3. Fixed: Setting Month to undefined will carry through and clear the month off of the date (previously it would say January).
4. Changed: When dealing with television subscriptions that specifies "All channels", a preliminary filtering is done so there will not be too many instances of the same show being recorded simultaneously.
5. Changed: When loading television EPG data in the background, MC will wait longer for external XMLTV EPG programs to complete loading data.
6. Changed: Added television subscription time mode selection ("One per day", "One per week", "All showings" etc.) in Theater View (previously MC defaulted to "one per day").
7. Changed: Updated Japanese translation files (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).

9. Fixed: Some CableCARD television channels with multiple audio streams were not handled correctly.
10. NEW: Added the ability to specify refresh interval (number of hours) for background television EPG update, allowing multiple updates per day.  The options are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours.
11. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks Bytestar).
12. Changed: Change 9 of previous build is modified as follows: If user has specified a time to automatically refresh television programming guide, MC will refresh the guide on or after the specified time, or 20 minutes after any previous runs, whichever is later.  The 20 minutes wait is needed because some background loading can take as much as 20 minutes to complete.

20.0.17 (9/19/2014)

1. Changed: The web browser throws away "Downloading picture data" status messages instead of showing them.
2. NEW: Added Delete Folder to Explorer Theater View views.

7. NEW: Multiple EPG profiles can be executed during automatic background updates of EPG data.
8. Fixed: Secure CD rip mode was not getting enabled.
9. Changed: If user has specified a time to automatically refresh television programming guide, MC will refresh the guide on or after the specified time, or as soon as possible thereafter, without regard to whether the user has run EPG wizard recently.
10. Changed: Added television subscription recording option to search "All channels" for a given program, instead of just on specified channels.
11. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).
12. Changed: Television EPG wizard pages are re-organized so that automatic daily reload option is presented before the actual loading of data, and one can choose to skip loading data (only to configure auto loading options).
13. Fixed: Double-clicking at the end of the line in a chart would crash.
14. Changed: The Tag Action Window 'Show Tags In Current View' works a little better (you might need to customize visible fields once for the change to take effect).

20.0.16 (9/15/2014)

1. NEW: Import/Analysis of video files uses the new JRiver Video Engine for consistency across platforms.
2. Changed: The codec names used for the "Compression" field in video files are more consistent.
3. Changed: Options > General > Popup transparency mode also disables transparency for menus and tooltips if selected.
4. Fixed: CD burning was failing with error "Can't start the write.".
5. Fixed: Volume protection would override the startup volume setting.  Now startup volume has precedence.

A big thanks to Bob for adding DSP Studio to DLNA.  This was one of the most requested features.

I have recently upgraded from MC19 to MC20 (and have installed the 0.27 update).
I have also moved my music files from my PC to a Netgear 312 NAS.
I have been (unsuccessfully) attempting to edit the music file tags in MC20.
When I initially edit the tags, they are saved when I close MC20 (for the files to be updated)and the changes are correctly displayed when I reopen MC20.
But when I then make further music file edits and close / reopen for the second time, the initial edits disappear and the original file data is shown (tag details).
I have changed the audio file location form my PC hard drive to the NAS312.
Is there some change from MC19 to MC20 affecting editing tags (as I had no difficulties in MC19)?
Also, once I sort out editing the NAS312 music library tags, will the changes also show in my Id (MC20 Debian) as it utilizes the same media library?

I think filed type "Check" can use Pant tagging.

The 6/dB octave high pass and low pass filters in parametric equalizer are not functioning as expected: see this thread for more details http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=92834.0

[dean70]

SACD ISO file conversion is broken. Trying to convert on a handheld device to individual wav files per track and only getting a repeat of the first track for each subsequent track or getting mixed duplicates of a previous track. The track titles and tags show correct, but the audio file contents are wrong.

While I do not use Media Center for viewing Netfilx or Hulu very often, the last 3 times I've gone to my 'Connected Media' for video both Netfilx and Hulu were missing.

After changing the setting for this so they appear, the next time I try to use this they are gone again. 
Now that it has repeated itself 3 times I can recognize it as what I'd consider a bug of Media Center losing this setting. I do not recall having this issue in MC19, but as I said I do not use MC for this very often.

Cannot sign into my HULU account inside of MC

5. Fixed: Volume protection would override the startup volume setting.  Now startup volume has precedence.

Seems to be broken in 20.0.27

There are some use cases where it doesnt work as expected:
Startup volume is set for the first zone that starts playback, but subsequent zones that are activated by a ZoneSwitch rule get the volume protection setting, even though they have not been used yet (hence the Startup setting) for the session.

Trenton,
Your posts are on the Linux board now.

Hello,

I am having issue with discovering JRiver DLNA Renderer (linux version) from MC on my laptop (Windows version)

My setup:
-1 NUC running Wheezy 32 bits with MC 20.0.27 acting as local renderer (with USB DAC), DLNA server, DLNA renderer and DLNA controller.
-1 Laptop running Windows 8.1 with MC 20.0.27 acting as remote control when connected to NUC library or DLNA server and DLNA controller when connected to local library.
-1 Freebox player acting as DLNA renderer

When I start MC (connected to local library) on my laptop, Freebox player (DLNA renderer) will appears after few seconds (around 5sec) but I have to wait severals minutes before MC linux (DLNA renderer) appears.
If I restart the Linux mediacenter instance, this will make Windows MC discovering as fast as Freebox player does.

I think the issue is related to Windows version because I am not having trouble to discover Linux MC from the Freebox Player.

Hope this makes sense.

The bitstreaming option does not seem to do anything with DTS audio inside an MKA container.

[The TVDB Series ID] is not a relational field (keyed on [Series]) anymore as it is designed to be.  More:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=92703.msg640044#msg640044

That field has been relational since MC 17.0.72:

4. NEW: Added relational field 'TheTVDB Series ID' that will be used when running Get Movie & TV Info, when loading backdrops, etc. (if some series gets the wrong data, use 'Get Movie & TV Info' manually to get correct data one time and subsequent lookups of the same series will automatically use that series).

I'm not sure when it happened.  But it isn't showing as Relational on my system anymore, and isn't working that way.

[6233638]

That might explain why "The Newsroom" was pulling in data for the wrong series as I ripped more Blu-ray discs last week.
 
Normally once you correct it for the first episode, everything else uses the right one.
I just assumed it was something that got lost when migrating from 19 to 20.
