1. Changed: The JRiver WDM Driver can be turned off in General -> Features.
2. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
3. Changed: Added a 3dB cut to the Headphones effect so that increases from cross-feed won't lead to clipping.

20.0.58 (1/20/2015)

1. Changed: MC will ignore "WM/MediaOriginalBroadcastDateTime" or "WM/OriginalReleaseTime" tags that have values of "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" or "0" when importing wtv / dvr-ms files.

20.0.56 (1/14/2015)

1. Fixed: Action Window Tag view to show the columns in the current view didn't work properly with category views (you might need to add / remove a column for it to start working).

20.0.54 (1/9/2015)

1. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
2. Fixed: DLNA: DSD files > 1X when used with the DoPE switch were getting the sample rate wrong so the file duration would be short (1/2, 1/4, etc).

20.0.53 (1/8/2015)

1. NEW: Theater View artist backdrops load from the entire list of artists for a track instead of only the first artist.
2. Fixed: DLNA, missing xml namespace for the peak level and replay gain jriver specific fields. Caused trouble with other DLNA devices and controllers seeing our DLNA devices(ie BubbleUPnP).
3. Changed: The jriver namespace fields from jr: to jriver: to match the previous use of presenting the access key. A side effect of this is that all builds in use must be greater than 20.0.52 to use the volume leveling feature(this is only useful on a MC renderer from a MC server NOT doing conversion).
4. Changed: The spacebar isn't translated as play / pause when a list control has the focus.

8. Fixed: Using the Space key in a Web Browser control will no longer pause playback.
9. Fixed: Possible problems with video views specific to build 51.

20.0.51 (1/5/2015)

1. Fixed: Add Library > Browse would open the folder dialog in a non-modal way so that a second browse dialog could be opened (or worse).
2. Fixed: Updated the bundled Black on Black and Pearl Bailey skins to the latest version to resolve an incompatibility with recent skinning changes.
3. Fixed: DLNA: MC could crash when a DLNA view with multiple WMA files was requested (since 20.0.49).
4. Changed: Slightly improved rendering performance in Theater View list flows on Intel GPUs.
5. Changed: The Release Year is taken into account when acquiring Theater View background artwork for movies.
6. Changed: During import, the matching entry from TheMovieDB is selected based on the release year, if available.
7. NEW: Added the web service function MCWS/v1/Podcast/Delete to delete a Podcast by name.
8. Changed: The service registers its filename with quotes around it ( fixes a possible exploit http://www.commonexploits.com/unquoted-service-paths/ ).
9. Changed: Removed the option for fullscreen exclusive mode in Theater View.
10. Fixed: The image width and height fields didn't fill properly if the cover art was an external file.
11. NEW: Added MCWS/v1/File/Delete to remove a file from the library.
12. NEW: Added MCWS/v1/Configuration/ErrorFreeMode to set the program into error free mode.
13. NEW: Made writing the tool name and version optional in Options > Audio > Advanced (it's strongly recommended that you leave this enabled).

20.0.50 (12/17/2014)

1. Changed: The Swap(...) expression has special handling for strings that end with Jr., Sr., I, II, III, IV, V.
2. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
3. Changed: Cover Art > Add From File opens at the location of the file instead of at the last folder used (but only if the folder contains at least one image).
4. Fixed: MC did not scan for program map table when playing clear QAM television channels, causing problems recording in .TS format.
5. Changed: For ATSC and QAM television channels, MC will try alternative ways to find audio and video packet IDs in case the usual method fails.
6. Changed: The space bar shortcut for play/pause is not translated in Theater View so that the search in some views works.
7. Changed: WebGizmo views say WebGizmo instead of Gizmo.
8. Fixed: DLNA: The new delete dynamic libraries functions was slow (generating too many M-SEARCHes).
9. Changed: Action Windows that are editing a playlist have a 'Click to view playlist' button at the bottom (the title text is also a clickable link).
10. Fixed: Importing CUE files would not reliably import the first track.
11. Changed: Empty playlists that have the name "New Playlist" or "New Smartlist" are purged when the program loads.
12. Fixed: The Image Width and Image Height fields were marked as hidden so that they wouldn't show up in a Smartlist.
13. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).

noticing on clients all on .62 (coming from .47) that our hidden library is no longer hidden, and when trying to connect to that library that jriver is auto connecting, even though this particular library remember password/id has never been checked.

I've tried deleting the library and re-adding it, and every time it re adds it it just auto connects to it without asking for Id/Password/Authentication.

Thanks

I have reported this before.  Anytime I run an update it hangs when installing the WDM driver.  Using Windows 7.  I always have to restart the computer and run the update a second time.

It's getting really old.  This WDM driver should not be reinstalled unless the driver itself is updated.  At least give an option to not install the driver on an update.

[JimH]

Probably security software preventing the install.  Please start a new thread if you still can't solve it.

It's getting really old.  This WDM driver should not be reinstalled unless the driver itself is updated.  At least give an option to not install the driver on an update.

You can now turn the driver off in Options > General > Features.

Thanks for this... It was getting really old having to change audio playback device upon each update for each PC.

[Dawgincontrol]

Appreciate the info Matt.  I've done so and will see on the next update.

Hello,

about the [Playlist Time Remaining]

I have two Zones: Headphones and Player.

The Playlist Time Remaining appears correct at each song played at Player Zone,

but at the Headphones Zone I get the Time Remaining of Player Zone.

[Humbledore]

[Playlist Time Remaining] just shows the remaining time of the current track, NOT the entire playlist.

[HiFiTubes]

Sort = Show Only Duplicates > Complete Album should filter out Dups that don't have a complete album? I'm getting Dups reported e.g. tracks 1,4 when I only want full albums.

I'm using AA [auto], Name, Album in addition.

[Llannis]

[Playlist Time Remaining] just shows the remaining time of the current track, NOT the entire playlist.

20.0.62 (1/23/2015)

1. NEW: In the player display, you can use [Playlist Time Remaining] to show the remaining time of the entire playlist.

Using the above feature, the problem I have is that
at the Headphones Zone I get the Time Remaining of Player Zone.

I don't know if this is the correct place to report this but after I downloaded and installed Ver. 20.0.62 today the program began running very slowly. I managed to revert back to Ver. 20.0.47 after finding that version in the download folder in Help. The program speed reverted to normal. I then installed Ver 62 again thinking something had gone wrong but with the same result. So I reinstalled Ver 47 and everything is fast again.  
I use Windows7 64bit and I have a fairly basic setup using JRiver to play music through my router via Ethernet (DLNA) to a PS Audio bridge. FLAC files only. Works great for me.  I'm not a very technical person so I haven't a clue what could be wrong. If anyone else experienced this, I would appreciate some advice. Thanks.

I have a problem which shows on another thread to which I seem unable to reply..

My floppy drive a: seems to be constantly seeking since the latest update yesterday

Please someone tell me how to stop this?

Thanks

Now when Media Center is running, my floppy drive is constanly being accessed (A:)

Guys  Just did the upgrade but still I cannot use the Media Center Driver.... when I set it as default it shows it playing in the LED display but no sound.  I notice that editing the device it says it is connecting to Digital jack and not the Green sound card jack....  followed through on instruction given on this site but still nothing....

There are instructions in the first post.

[JimH]

I moved some posts on the new Clear Played from Playing Now feature.

Please don't start discussions in the build threads.   Just report confirmed bugs.

[6233638]

All of the "More Play Options" are still triggering Zone Switch and stopping playback.
E.g. music playing in Zone 1, and queuing up a video playlist in Zone 2, which plays to the same audio device. I used "Add (to beginning)" but I think all are affected.
