Media Center 21.0.83 for Windows -- Available here
« on: May 18, 2016, 01:18:27 pm »

This is the latest version of MC21.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v21/latest/MediaCenter210083.exe

21.0.83 (5/17/2016)

1. Fixed: Inconsistencies in the Program info area when "TV Logs" or "Show status" was selected from the filter box on standard television view.
2. NEW: A "Favorite Channels" filter on standard television view.  Selecting this from the filter box causes only the programs on your favorite channels to be displayed.
3. Fixed: Mouse wheel in a combobox would highlight an unselectable nothing entry at the tail of the list.
4. Fixed: Mouse wheel in the toolbar to customize dialog would lead to a crash.
5. Changed: Updated German translation (thanks bytestar!).
6. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
7. Fixed: Enabling the "Adaptive Volume" DSP in the "Convert Format" settings could inadvertently affect the results of Audio Analysis.

21.0.82 (5/13/2016)

1. NEW: Television gets its own logging in addition to regular log files.  Important TV related (mostly TV recording) messages are logged in the TV logs.  The logs can be displayed in Standard Television view (just select "TV Logs" in the filter box).
2. Fixed: With popup transparency off and the skin inverted, the tooltips wouldn't draw quite right.
3. NEW: One can access "Show status" on standard television view without having to go into TV Options > Advanced.  It can be selected in the Filter box.
4. Changed: Small changes in standard television view - the filter box is moved up a notch, and the filter and channels boxes are slightly wider.
5. Changed: Added a line of explanation in case the TV tuner list is empty when "Show status" is done without any tuner having been used yet.
6. Fixed: The minimum size of the tree wouldn't update properly when switching the scale of the program until you restarted.
7. Fixed: If image playback didn't jump to fullscreen, it wouldn't activate the MC process when playing an image.

21.0.81 (5/11/2016)

1. Fixed: The Media Editor could get stuck in a loop running itself over and over if the previous shutdown resulted in a hang.
2. Fixed: Opening a second file in Media Editor while it was still loading a first file would cause strange results.
3. Fixed: Theater View background loading wasn't looking at the sidecar paths properly.
4. NEW: An option to load default library at start up.

21.0.80 (5/9/2016)

1. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
2. Changed: More resilient Theater View 3D rendering on Intel and AMD graphics cards.
3. Changed: Reverted the pane sorting logic changes that were recently made.

21.0.79 (5/6/2016)

1. Fixed: Sorting expression based panes could crash.

21.0.78 (5/6/2016)

1. Fixed: A little better fix for the 32-bit extensible WAV file issue.
2. NEW: Preliminary support for Sat>IP television devices.  Work in progress, totally untested.
3. Changed: MCWS responses use a more standard Content-Type header to improve compatibility with some web service clients.
4. Fixed: Sorting wouldn't work right in an expression based pane if the expression to display was empty.
5. NEW: Added Options > General > Advanced > Support extra long filenames (experimental) as a way to remove the bounds checking from the path at import time.

21.0.77 (5/4/2016)

1. Fixed: The sorting on an expression based pane would be wacky.
2. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).
3. Fixed: Inverting the tooltip wouldn't work properly when the popup transparency was disabled.
4. Fixed: The player window could draw a little funny when mouse wheeling to change the volume and then the display switching back.
5. Fixed: When there was no free tuner, switching television channel while watching might end up with "no tuner available" error if the channel being switched to did not prefer the current tuner.
6. Changed: Podcasts only add the comment to the tooltip if it's different than the description (which gets added earlier).
7. Changed: When clicking the Recently Imported toolbar button when there is no Recently Imported playlist will show a message box instead of just doing nothing.
8. Changed: Then made the Recently Imported toolbar button gray out when there's no Recently Imported playlist.
9. Fixed: When setting up "Record by Time" in Theater view, edited Program Name was not reflected on the "Program Name: *****" button.
10. Changed: For television recording setup dialogs in Theater view, eliminated some "Cancel" buttons and renamed some "Cancel" buttons to "Skip (abandon current change)" or "Skip (abandon current changes)" or "Skip (abandon changes to settings)".  
11. Fixed: Mouse wheeling a list edit field would instead mouse wheel the list behind and stop the editing.
12. Fixed: 32-bit extensible WAV files wouldn't play properly (could cause convolution trouble).

21.0.76 (4/27/2015)

1. Changed: Skin DSP effects are no longer applied to the small images in a list (but still should be applied to checkboxes, etc.).
2. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč!).
3. NEW: Double-click on the media server tray icon will show Media Center.
4. Fixed: The 'Export to iTunes & iPhone' dialog didn't scale nicely on high DPI.

21.0.75 (4/19/2016)

1. Changed: The sidecar cover art for music in Theater View should be [Album].jpg or [Artist].jpg instead of [Name].jpg.
2. Fixed: 32-bit integer WAV files wouldn't play properly.

21.0.74 (4/19/2016)

1. Changed: The applied DSP effect like inversion, etc. will get applied to the checkmark and other small icons drawn in the lists.
2. Changed: Theater View television recording setup dialogs are changed from wizard (step by step) style to single dialog style.
3. Changed: The TVInfo(WatchedDisplay) expression will show a watched percentage based on the bookmark in more cases.
4. Changed: Updated the Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
5. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
6. Fixed: Overwriting a file with the selection in Media Editor wouldn't work reliably.
7. Changed: Slightly improved the color accuracy of Blu-ray subtitles.

21.0.73 (4/14/2016)

1. Changed: The checkbox states of the dialog shown when doing Get Movie & TV Info will remember the states of the checks.
2. Fixed: The search section of the JRMark got unintentionally slower starting in 21.0.39.

21.0.72 (4/13/2016)

1. Changed: The search suggestion box won't hide when the focus is in the search box (even if the mouse moves a lot or is a long ways away).
2. Changed: Made one more deletion in the cover art cleanup stage use the recycle bin instead of hard delete.

21.0.71 (4/12/2016)

1. Changed: Made the cover art cleanup function use the recycle bin instead of hard deleting the files.
2. Changed: Made the shortcut for clearing the rating Ctrl+Shift+Delete because Ctrl+Shift+0 gets eaten on newer copies of Windows.
3. NEW: A "Recording by time" option in Theater View to schedule television recording based on channel and time.
4. Fixed: If default recording option "Cleanup mode" was set at "keep at most N episodes", and a recording was scheduled as a non-subscription recording, the "keep at most N episodes" options was still applied by default, even though it made no sense for non-subscription recordings.  Now the option will switch to "Keep forever".
5. NEW: Added a "Playable" field that's a checkbox and when unchecked a file will no longer add to Playing Now.

21.0.70 (4/8/2016)

1. Fixed: When shuffle is set to automatic, it won't reshuffle at the end of the playlist unless it passes the automatic testing gate.
2. NEW: Ctrl+I now shows the playing file in Theater View as well.
3. NEW: Added support for .flac16 and .flac24 files.
4. Changed: Switched the limit for calculating all the volume leveling information from 10,000 tracks to 50,000 tracks.
5. Fixed: Copying from the Media Network activity log could be a little touch and go.

21.0.69 (4/5/2016)

1. NEW: Copying from the Media Network Activity log works (fills the clipboard with the item text).
2. NEW: Pressing Ctrl+I will jump the list to the playing song (if it's in the list).
3. Fixed: Fixed a little misspelling on the EPG window.
4. Changed: Switched a couple lowpass type entries to low-pass instead.
5. NEW: Remade the Thunderstorm skin so it's better on Mac and better on high DPI.
6. Changed: Dividers draw a little bigger on high DPI.
7. Changed: Tuned the layout of the "Customize Display" dialog to hopefully work better on some displays.
8. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks Kazuo Tsuchiya).

21.0.68 (4/4/2016)

1. Fixed: On Television property page, if "Recording default - Cleanup mode" was set to "Keep forever", the setting would revert to "Keep at most set number of episodes".  This only applies in build 21.0.67.
2. Changed: On Television property page, the "Recording default - Days to keep" or "Recording default - Episodes to keep" is enabled only if relevant option is selected in "Recording default - Cleanup mode", to avoid confusion.
3. Fixed: The FixCase() expression function was slow in 21.0.67.
4. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
5. Fixed: The player setup dialog sizes a little better (especially on high DPI).

21.0.67 (4/1/2016)

1. Changed: Split the capitalization files out to CapitalizationAllCaps.txt and CapitalizationExclusion.txt in the Default Resources folder of the program.
2. Fixed: Doctor Who would show an xml error page following successful uploads of playlists/smartlists.
3. Fixed: Right-click playlist "upload to server" option wasn't functional.  Now uploads to Doctor Who.
4. Fixed: In recent builds Hauppauge HD PVR/Colossus series of devices could crash in some circumstances.
5. Changed: Most television recording defaults can be set on television properties page (instead of having to use the "Save settings as default" button on recording wizard).
6. Fixed: Playback could stall with a black screen after the movie ends on DVDs without a menu.
7. Fixed: Removing a rule from a Smartlist would sometimes leave the dialog in a funny state.

The scroll tearing is a Nvidia issue, not a JRiver issue.

Thank you!
Text is now fully legible when the skin is inverted and transparency is disabled.

* No Signal
* No Available Tuner
* Insufficient Disk Space
* No scheduled program matching "name"

are the big four.

And a popup warning if the recording is still continuing after the scheduled ending time (or if it's still running after 2 hours or such).

The other four are all errors when a "recording rule" (aka "timer") is scheduled to occur, but fails.

When the scheduled ending time occurs - and the recording does not stop - that is a bug in MC, while all the other four are just conditions.

( And, in order for MC to know that "a recording is still continuing after the scheduled ending time" would require a constant check just for that condition, which would be a waste, considering that can only happen due to a bug. )

When switching from Standard View to Cover View, the files panel is closed.
Ideally it would preserve the current state.
Failing that, the "Always Show Files" option should be honored if the switch from Standard to Cover view is "reloading" the view.

* No scheduled program matching "name"

What does this one mean?
If there is "no scheduled program matching name", doesn't that mean "don't record now because the program scheduled to record at this time is not being broadcast at this time"?
Or is this to catch a "name" that never matches a broadcasted program (like "X Files" instead of "X-Files")? How would MC know?

Either.

All of these are normally reported by DVRs, such as those offered by satellite TV companies.

So, when you sit down on Thursday evening to watch the show that is usually recorded on Wednesday (perhaps your poker night), then you know why there is nothing recorded.  "No matching program? Oh right, the World Series is on that same channel."

(In the case of "X-Files" versus "X Files", you would have a recording rule that never works, versus the case I just described where it has been working.  So, one is advised to check "To Be Recorded" after making a rule, to see whether you've made a goof...)

Hi Folks!
Since 21.0.80 Theater View freezes after Windows Sleep/Awake. To use Theater View again I need to press CTRL+1 then CTRL+4.
After downgrade to 21.0.76 everything works fine again.
System is: Win 8.1 with Intel HD Graphics 2500

I'm seeing that sometimes as well. Intel HD4000. I haven't investigated it yet.

The manual track change does not do gapped properly.  The drop down options range from 0.1s to 16s and none of them have worked for many versions of MC.  There is never a gap.

Please start a thread and describe how you are playing.  DLNA?  What files?  What version and OS?
