3. NEW: Video Transcoding in MC and through MCWS/DLNA.

20.0.64 (1/29/2015)

20.0.54 (1/8/2015)

1. Changed: Newly created windows should always be in the foreground now.
2. Changes from the mainstream. Note that if you are using client side volume leveling over DLNA and are using MC on multiple platforms, all builds need to be >=20.0.52 for this to continue to work.

20.0.42 (11/21/2014) (Changes from the main branch)

1. Fixed: DLNA: MC as renderer, when receiving a SetNextAVtransportURI, MC was allowing the playlist to grow beyond 2 items which is incorrect. This caused playlist sync issues.
2. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, fix bug in event send when changing playlist position 1.
3. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller timing issue, make sure the first track is playing (for at least 5 seconds) before doing the SetNextAVTransportURI function.
4. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, when playlist position current +1 changes send a new SetNextAVTransportURI to devices that support it.
5. Fixed: The change from 20.0.31 (Back out library server hiding when the library is empty introduced in 19.0.71) missed the library server visibility (it was showing the DLNA servers).

20.0.33 (11/10/2014)

This means you can also use Gizmo now to stream video from your Linux MC! Hooray!
While I've tested it quite a bit, please do report problems with streaming which do not exist in the Windows version.

Fantastic! 1 thing I have noticed is aspect ratios seem to be out on a couple of my movies on the linux version where they aren't on the Windows version.

If I play movies in question from windows server to Gizmo (exact same file), aspect is fine (Second Attachment).
If I play from Linux server to Ubuntu Desktop, aspect is fine.
If I play from Linux server to Skifta, aspect is fine.
If I play from Linux server to Gizmo, aspect is out (First Attachment).

Cheers,

J.

Thanks for reporting, fixed for the next build!

[imugli]

Thanks :-)

[tlcmd]

This is a rather dumb question, but I would be interested in knowing how the MC20 numbering system was created and used. I get the MC 20.0., but how about the remaining numbers since they are not consecutive.

[Hendrik]

The numbers are consecutive, but since they are shared with the Windows and Mac version, there isn't a Linux build for every single number.

[imugli]

It seems .ifo files are being imported as Data by default.

[Hendrik]

BD and DVD are not supported on Linux or Mac (yet).

Aah... that would be it.
