Download 64-bit build
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v25/latest/MediaCenter250081-x64.exe (works on 64 bit systems only)

25.0.81 (7/22/2019)

1. NEW: Added a 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital).  Feedback appreciated.
2. NEW: Added File > Export All to iTunes & iPhone to export your entire library instead of just a single playlist.
3. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
4. Changed: When you said to keep five downloads, it would keep five then download a sixth.  Now it prunes to four before starting the download.
5. Changed: The mode selection page on TV Recording setup wizard is also put inside a scrolling container to ensure all controls can be seen.
6. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.
7. NEW: Importing from iTunes brings the ratings, date last played (if it's newer than you played in MC), and the play count and skip count (if they're greater than MC).
8. NEW: Added "Series ID" and "Program ID" to the Standard View EPG tooltips.
9. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
10. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
11. Changed: The increments for the mouse wheel in Room Correction for the speaker distance are now 0.1 ft or 0.01 meters.
12. NEW: Added the option to "Enable pane tagging" to the panes to allow tagging and the checkboxes to be turned off.
13. NEW: Ctrl+Shift+V pasting will accept a series of strings on the clipboard (separated by newlines) and paste them into a single selected field.
14. Fixed: Uninstalling a DSP plugin could crash.

25.0.80 (7/17/2019)

1. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).
2. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.
3. Changed: TV recording setup wizard window size has been changed, so it is wider and shorter, to avoid scaling issues on some monitors.
4. Changed: The controls on the subscription options page and the program options page on TV recording setup wizard are put in a scrolling control window so the controls will not be cut off by limitation of the wizard window size.
5. Changed: Renamed the player menu choice to "Left Align Artwork" so it matches with the on and off wording.

25.0.79 (7/17/2019)

1. Changed: Made toggling zones forward and back (Ctrl+T, etc.) go in the display order instead of the order created.
2. Changed: Made the center channel adjustment also enable for 2.1 playback.
3. NEW: Made the tooltip for the taskbar popup contain the artist and name of the playing track.
4. NEW: Added a "Reset To Stock" menu item to the VST "Load" button.  It will reset all the settings back to stock.
5. Fixed: VST plugins could not be uninstalled from a portable install.

25.0.78 (7/15/2019)

1. Fixed: The ~expand smartlist modifier would not import / export properly.
2. Fixed: Formatting big date spans with expressions did not always work properly.
3. Changed: Play Doctor will not error when starting playback with no search at all (only with a search that gives no matches).
4. NEW: Added a center level selection to the Output Format DSP page to be used when in two channel mode.

25.0.77 (7/12/2019)

1. Changed: Made the MCWS UserInterface/Show treat anything that's not a known string as a tree path to select.
2. NEW: Added a "Play (shufffled)" button to the view header of a playlist.
3. Changed: Links no longer show if the field is empty.
4. NEW: The Q factor can be set for low and high pass filters in Parametric Equalizer.
5. Fixed: A TV recording could be prematurely stopped (in 30 minutes) and restarted if the recording had been started manually while the show was being watched.

25.0.76 (7/11/2019)

1. Changed: Made the default search for the new Cloud Play option the same as the default Play Doctor search.
2. Changed: When starting Play Doctor with a search that has no matches in the library, it will message instead of playing random files.
3. Changed: When MC fails to read any 'mdat' atom from mp4/m4a/m4v/mov files using its regular method, usually due to bad 'free' atoms in the files, it will try scanning the files for such atoms.
4. Fixed: Not all playlists would show in the Tag Action Window after a recent optimization.

25.0.75 (7/9/2019)

1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.
2. Changed: If Media Center fails to start video playback, it will message about the audio but now add a string about adjusting the video delay.
3. Fixed: OpenGL Theater View was not playing sounds.
4. Changed: Made the Cloudplay options page alphabetized in the Options list.
5. Fixed: Upload to a handheld would not always honor the path correctly.

25.0.74 (7/8/2019)

1. Changed: When doing a movie lookup, the year will be stripped from the name if the movie is named like [Name] ([Year]).
2. Changed: M4A files will be marked as not HDCD if the compression is set to "MP4 AAC".
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
4. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
5. NEW: Added an option on manual XMLTV ID matching window to update channel names using XMLTV data.
6. NEW: Added a "Cloudplay" options page and it allows setting rules for file playback.
7. Changed: The play button on a remote when playback is paused will unpause instead of looking for something new to play.
8. Fixed: The library authorization popup would hang if you right-clicked inside one of the edit boxes.
9. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.

25.0.73 (7/3/2019)

1. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.

25.0.72 (7/2/2019)

1. Changed: Made the Tag Action Window save and load the scroll position as you navigate (and select no files then select files again).
2. Changed: The blue light will illuminate when decoding HDCD (previously that would cause the light to disengage).
3. Fixed: DVB channel scanning might get audio stream type wrong (such as setting audio type to MPEG1 when it should have been E-AC3);
4. Changed: When you start a rip, the database will be checked to see if the rip has already occurred and you will be messaged to confirm the rip if a duplicate is found.
5. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
6. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified.  The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
7. Fixed: Fixed a possible cause of crash in TV engine.
8. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
9. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.

25.0.81 x64 crashes instantly when attempting to Sync my Sony Handheld. More precisely: running "Details" under Sync Handheld. Did not attempt an actual sync. This happened 3 times without change. Reinstalled MC 25.0.76 x64.  Device is older player - Walkman model NWZ-E436F with Sony USB adaptor cable. Win-10 1903; Asus ROG Maximus VI Hero mobo.

Confirming that 25.0.81 crashes immediately when initiating a sync to a handheld device. My device is a local folder.

I have reverted to 25.0.80 and all is ok.

I had to manually update to this one (32-bit version). the automatic update did not go through the process.

When installed, it crashes and disappears the moment I try to play anything. 25.0.80 works normally.

NEW: Added a 3.1 output mode to JRSS

When this new function is selected "Subclarity" is grayed out.

Antivirus software could do that, but try the 64 bit version if you can.  Please start a thread for problems.

The latest newsletter claims "We've found a way to improve the speed of JRiver Media Center significantly, thanks to optimization we did for a user who had 800,000 tracks and thousands of playlists.  It resulted in a noticeable speed increase."

Can you please elaborate? Response times for switching views and performing searches leave a lot to be desired with large libraries. I did not experience an improvement on these matters lately.

Fixed next build.

The pane tagging check wasn't checking for NULL!

Fixed next build.  Thanks for letting us know.

Doesn't look like an antivirus problem. I excluded MC and disabled the a/v. .81 crashes instantly (also tried the 64-bit), 80 works fine.

Could you share a crash dump?

You could email it to matt at jriver.

Thanks.

You could email it to matt at jriver.

Just sent it.

It was just crashing if your CPU didn't support the bit counting function that was recently added.  I'm working on a fix now.
