Download: http://files.JRiver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter200094.dmg
20.0.94 (4/14/2015)
1. Fixed: Audio CD Ripping would sometimes create duplicate track entries in the database.
2. Changed: Streamlined auto-import to reduce extraneous activity when mass changes are made within Media Center.
3. Fixed: Freezes or crashes could occur when importing or converting large batches of WMA format files.
4. NEW: External audio encoders are now supported.
5. Fixed: The group component of the benchmark was slow for the last few builds.
6. Changed: Updated Slovak language file (thanks Peter Lukac).
7. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo).
8. Fixed: Handheld device Eject was unreliable.
9. Changed: Revised upward the estimated bitrate of lossless codecs. Makes predictions of how much transcoded music a handheld device can hold more accurate.
10. NEW: Third party DSP plugins (like VST effects) can now be enabled for DLNA and format conversion.
20.0.87 (3/28/2015)
1. Fixed: Tracks on device not in sync were not getting deleted even when the option was enabled.
2. Fixed: Artist or Album names beginning with a period would cause problems syncing with handheld devices. Now underscores are used in place of leading periods in folder names on the device created during a sync operation.
3. Fixed: After playing a track directly from CD, a message could pop-up saying the disc could not be identified.
4. Fixed: WebKit plugins are now disabled. Plugins (e.g. Silverlight) could cause crashes and freezes when MC was displaying web pages.
5. Fixed: The drive was identified as /:\ on the CD misread Information dialog.
6. Fixed: Syncing files with conversion enabled would cause files to re-convert on every sync.
7. Fixed: Tracks on device not in sync were not getting deleted even when this option was enabled.
8. NEW: When songs in MC's library are stored on a network share drive, the drive is now bookmarked by MC so if it's not mounted after a reboot, MC will automatically re-mount the drive when needed.
9. Fixed: CD ripping would sometimes fall out of secure mode.
10. Fixed: Many Retina mode scaling improvements.
11. Changed: If there's a custom library field created called Tooltip and it evaluates to non-empty, it will be used for the text of the tooltip.
12. Fixed: Requesting a File List or Cover Art over MCWS for a very slow executing Smart List (ie. Missing Files) could result in all MCWS queries being delayed until the request was completed.
13. Fixed: MOV/MP4 files could have the wrong information in the Compression field.
14. Fixed: Multichannel DSD wrapped by DoPE was overflowing the buffer resulting in noise or crashes.
15. Fixed: Podcasting could download duplicate tracks (only maybe fixed, so testing appreciated).
16. Fixed: Some w64 files did not import/play.
17. NEW: ID3 tags from w64 files are properly imported.
18. Fixed: Playing FLAC+CUE files could result in some tracks being skipped in the recent builds.
19. Changed: A/V sync is maintained more aggressively at the start of video playback.
20. Fixed: Seeking a Linked Zone over Gizmo would cause MC to hang.
21. Fixed: The player evaluating "Playlist Remaining Time" could hang (only maybe fixed, testing appreciated).
22. NEW: Linked zones can optionally enter a playback rate so that a zone that plays slower or faster can be corrected (the 'Adjust Link Timing' dialog allows entering a rate).
23. Fixed: Very short convolution filter would not load properly at all times.
24. Fixed: Pressing Enter key following in-place editing no longer initiates a "Play" command.
25. Fixed: Playing/importing APE files from read-only drives was not working (regression).
20.0.80 (3/2/2015)
1. Fixed: App signing issue on some systems.
20.0.74 (2/21/2015)
1. Fixed: When syncing files to a linux based handheld device (i.e. Android), forward slashes within artist or album names would cause the destination path to be wrong.
2. Fixed: External storage cards on handheld devices were not always showing up in MC without doing a manual re-detect of devices.
3. Fixed: Many CD ripping problem fixes.
4. Fixed: Auto-import was sometimes importing image and 'data' files which aren't supported.
5. Fixed: A CUE parsing issue where the last track would not work because the playback range was parsing incorrectly if the CUE file spanned multiple tracks.
6. Fixed: Reading a SACD ISO with empty data packets could cause a crash.
7. Changed: Made the SACD ISO parser a little more forgiving.
8. NEW: Added a 'Total Tracks' field to the library. Currently updated from MP3 files, MP4 files, FLAC files, and during CD ripping.
9. NEW: Added a 'Total Discs' field to the library, which is updated from MP3, MP4, and FLAC files.
10. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks Bytestar).
11. NEW: Support for playing HTTP Live Streaming streams (both video/audio and audio-only).
12. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo!).
13. Fixed: CD ripping was always using secure mode regardless of user setting.
14. Fixed: Prior to any CD play or rip activity, the options dialog did not always show the installed CD drives.
15. Fixed: If CD ripping was started from the list header button, the initial ripping action window would still show after ripping was complete.
16. Fixed: During Handheld sync, if no files were being uploaded (just deletions taking place), sync process would stall out with "Working..." displayed in action window.
17. Fixed: Use defaults for empty media file location base paths read from the registry.
18. Changed: Updated the FFmpeg version used for file analysis, transcoding and video playback.
19. Fixed: WMA files would not play on some OS X 10.6 systems.
20.0.67 (2/9/2015)
1. Fixed: Occasional crash at startup due to splash screen.
2. NEW: Video conversions now supported!
3. Fixed: Crashes in the file converter when using DSP plugins.
20.0.64 (1/29/2015)
1. Fixed: SACD playback was broken for the last few builds.
2. Fixed: Avoids importing files from within app bundles and installer packages. Avoid importing images.
20.0.63 (1/28/2015)
1. Fixed: Display view sometimes would become detached and could remain showing over the top of other views (really fixed this time).
2. Fixed: Video display in action window would display over the top of other action window views.
20.0.62 (1/26/2015)
1. Changed: When both a Windows and a Master license are installed, Media Center now shows the installed license type as Master.
20.0.60 (1/22/2015)
1. Fixed: Purchase links were not going to the new page.
20.0.59 (1/21/2015)
1. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
2. 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. NEW: Selecting audio streams in Video files.
2. NEW: Chapter selection in the OSD and context menus for videos.
20.0.57 (1/16/2015)
1. Fixed: DSP Studio presets could not be saved/loaded/deleted.
2. Fixed: Display view sometimes would become detached from Media Center and could remain showing over the top of other views.
20.0.54 (1/9/2015)
1. Changes and fixes 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.

Multichannnel DSD playback is still scrambled when using an Exasound E28 was in v87 also.
Multichannel dsf playback seems to be bust with this release for me.
I've tried 4 different files from 4 different albums, all stored on a Synology NAS. Every time I try to play one with v87 to my Exasound E28, the sound is slow and horribly distorted. 2 channel dsf and stereo & multichannel pcm files play properly. Turned the DAC off and on, restarted Media Centre all to no avail. The multichannel files played without issue in HQplayer & Audirvana, so no problem with them or the DAC.
Downloaded v80 again and they play perfectly on that, so I guess it must be v87.
Gone back to v80 again and they play fine

Rating a currently playing track with the hot key combo still doesn't work. e.g. Ctrl;Shift;5 should tag the track with a 5. But nothing happens. The rating field just shows this exact text: "? stars" in it. Keys 1-4 don't work either. This does work in the Win version.
UPDATE: Rating does work using the MCWS interface i.e. http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Control/MCC?Command=10023&Parameter=5
But it still doesn't work using the keyboard shortcut keys (as defined in the Mac resource.xml file:
<Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;5" Command="10023" Param="5" />
So I tried assigning a different key combo in the resource file and this DOES work:
<Entry Key="Alt;Ctrl;5" Command="10023" Param="5" />
Perhaps the Shift;5 is the issue because a shift 5 is actually the % sign. Any help sorting this out would be appreciated.

Hi,
Using MACbookpro OS: 10.9.5 (16GB RAM)
Running MC20 for MAC: 20.0.94
Storage is a 4TB external GRAID via USB 3.0 with NTFS partition.
JRiver library has 50,000 or so Windows Media Audio Lossless (wma_ll) files and 10,000 MP3 files. Most wma_ll encoded via version 9 of the wma lossless codec. Some with v10 and higher.
While playing/tagging/etc, the application freezes and must be forced to quit.
Not sure what is going on, and behavior is not reproducible. It just seems to happen randomly.
Once the application is restarted, it functions normally for a little while.
I’ve turned on logging yesterday, and after some odd behavior, I stopped the logs and emailed them to logs at ...
Thanks for you time,
Richard

In this latest version all metadata in the comment field is empty. This has happened in pervious versions and has been fixed and now, it's not working again.

Was the crash issue on OS X 10.6.8 from .87 resolved with this release?

Could you email a sample of one of the files that causes the hang to matt at jriver dot com?
Thanks.

I seem to be having a crash issue with MC 20.0.94 on a Mac Mini running 10.6.8. I have check through the posts and have tried unchecking and other things that have been recommended. Problem is that whenever I attempt to transfer music (AIFF) from iTunes, MC crashes. I need to find out how to send in the crash report. If anyone could help me that, I would greatly appreciate it. Please not that the music is located on an external hard drive. I had no problems with this in MC 19, but whenever I go into "library>import" browse and find the hard drive, open it, MC crashes immediately. As mentioned earlier, I have tried recommended changes, but nothing seems to work. Please advise. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I tried to upgrade the OS a while back (10.9) and that turned out to be a disaster!

Thanks.
Missed your request. A log was forwarded to logs at jriver dot com when I made my OP.
We are trying to reproduce the problem to obtain a more targeted log.

still does not work DSD diff files. Sounds crush, like waving. Please check it. ver .64 was worked. (DSD dsf files worked fine, anyway)

Hi guys
I still have bug with grey playback panel in video fullscreen mode.
And when you plan to add possibility of selecting subtitles because it is not hi-end video player without it :)
One more question - first boxcheck is enabled in DSP setting panel after every play of video files. Is it normal or I need uncheck it every time for play audio files ?

I am having a crash issue with version 20.0.94 also on my iMac running 10.6.8. I believe the previous version worked very well. I was really enjoying JRiver, and really like using it. However, now, every time I boot it up, the program crashes before I can do anything at all. If I restart the computer, either from Restart or a cold boot (and with no other programs loaded), I still crash.
Part of the error message reads:
Process: Media Center 20 [398]

Question: Can I go baci to an earlier version, and if so, what is the correct procedure. I did try reinstalling a new 20.0.94 again, but still crash every time. Would love to get back to using JRiver. Really like it.
Thanks in advance.

Rolling back to an earlier version of MC is relatively straightforward. You can run the *.dmg file for an earlier version and drag the MediaCenter20.app file to your applications folder (overwriting the old application). If you'd rather not overwrite 20.0.94, you can simply move this to an alternate location (or rename it).
If you didn't save the older *.dmg, this can be downloaded again from the forum. For example: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=96560.0
To access a wealth of old versions, simply search for "Mac -- Available Here" in the forum.

I canot rip any disc, I get this error:
"open drive failed. drive is not open"
Trying to rip a CD from an external CD drive. Media center can see the disk and gives me a list of tracks but the ripping process fails with the error message above. ITunes can rip the disk fine.
Running OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite).
Any help would be appreciated.
