This is a new build of JRiver Media Center 30 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download Universal Silicon/Intel 64 bit build
https://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v30/latest/MediaCenter300030-Universal.dmg (minimum requirement MacOS 10.11)

Note: This should be considered a beta build. We are not auto-updating to anything past 30.0.25 yet.

30.0.30 (11/8/2022)

1. Fixed: A different fix for changing the sorting for library views not applying properly.
2. Fixed: Thumbnails were unconditionally erased when the image filename was changed whether they should have been or not. Affected the one time library update in Mac versions >30.0.25. If you were affected by this you can restore from a backup (with thumbnails) or rebuild your thumbnails.

30.0.29 (11/7/2022)

1. Fixed: Incorrect background color was being set for Chromium browser.
2. Changed: Spotlight and loading web pages use "LIST" skin background colors.
3. Fixed: Switching from Standard View to full-screen Display View would not reliably switch to the configured full-screen monitor.
4. Changed: The MakeMKV backup decryption option will default to what it was previously set at with Blu-ray discs.
5. Fixed: MCWS calls to SetInfo would not return that the data had not changed when setting some data types.
6. Fixed: Incorrect color was being used to draw chevron for Links bar overflow.
7. Fixed: Changing the sorting for library location type views would not always propagate properly.
8. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
9. Fixed: Skins with BorderResizeForText set could get a strange titlebar text.
10. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 to 5.1 with two extra channels would result in the rear channels missing.
11. Fixed: Fullscreen mode in MacOS 13.0 (Ventura).
12. Changed: Popup windows forced above the UI so they cannot be hidden when the UI is clicked on.

30.0.27 (10/31/2022)

1. Changed: Updated Czech translation (thanks Jan Boháč).
2. Changed: Updated borders in the Modern Cards Dark skin some more (thanks HPBEME).
3. Fixed: The rating field could require more space to draw on the right than needed.
4. Changed: Clicking a link on the streaming page will go to the page even if you have that page off so it doesn't show in the tree.
5. Changed: Spotlight hides blue focus rectangle on page load.
6. Changed: Spotlight for TV shows uses the TMDB ID for lookup if tag is set.
7. Changed: Spotlight for TV shows also tries leading 0 to search for matching seasons and episodes in the library (e.g. "01").
8. Changed: Added a timer to the SSDP utility to indicate how much time is remaining in the scan.
9. Changed: Hide Spotlight button in Files list header.
10. NEW: Linux and Mac clients can play live TV with digital TV tuners (bda) on a Windows server.
11. NEW: IMPORTANT: The database is automatically switched to using pre-composed UTF8 on first run of this build! This solves longstanding issues with diacritical characters. Don't use the database which this version updates on a previous build unless you turn off auto-import or you'll get duplicates in your database.
12. Changed: Ventura breaks the fullscreen API MC uses so MC will not go to fullscreen on Ventura and above on this build (solves white screen issues). We hope to fix this in Ventura in a future build.
13. NEW: The library tool "Clean File Properties..." adds a function to convert decomposed utf-8 in tags to precomposed utf-8. This should only need to be use to clean up NAME tags when a file was originally imported without tags (which means the original NAME tag was built from the decomposed filename).

30.0.25 (10/25/2022)

1. Changed: Added the MakeMKV backup option to the new media dialog.
2. Changed: Moved the MakeMKV backup button from the disc header to the rip action window.
3. Fixed: Searches could include fields not marked as default search fields.
4. Changed: Included updated borders in the Modern Cards Dark skin (thanks HPBEME and Marko).
5. Fixed: Using the new deinterlacing mode in JRVR would disrupt seeking in the video.
6. Changed: Updated Hungarian translation (thanks Gyula).
7. Changed: Minor visual tweaks to the main Streaming page.
8. Changed: Updated the new features link in the help menu for v30.
9. Fixed: Album sets with more than 32 albums would not be marked as complete (now the cap is 256).
10. Changed: Clouplay checks multiple tracks for recent playlists cover art.
11. Fixed: URL for Icecast Streaming was updated.
12. Changed: Increased accuracy of font size calculation in custom tooltip templates.
13. Fixed: Spotlight related artist link wasn't working.

30.0.23 (10/20/2022)

1. Fixed: Album sets with more than 32 albums would not be marked as complete (now the cap is 256).
2. Changed: Clouplay checks multiple tracks for recent playlists cover art.
3. Fixed: URL for Icecast Streaming was updated.
4. Changed: Increased accuracy of font size calculation in custom tooltip templates.
5. Changed: Vertically compress Artist Spotlight so it is more likely to fit on one page.
6. NEW: GPU compute accelerated shader deinterlacing in JRVR (based on the YADIF algorithm).
7. Fixed: ListCombine mode 2 was not trimming spaces when it built the list.
8. NEW: Added a mode 3 to ListCombine that's A - B.
9. Fixed: Another issue with decomposed filenames and name tag generation on import.

30.0.22 (10/19/2022)

1. Fixed: WavPack files played from a library server could incorrectly assume there was a correction file.
2. Fixed: When WavPack found a correction file, it would incorrectly clear the flags about how to open the file.
3. Fixed: Missing wavpack content and mimetypes prevented pushing a wavpack to DLNA renderer.
4. Changed: Updated to WavPack 5.5.
5. Fixed: Related Artists in Spotlight were not being retrieved.
6. Changed: When a file is imported without a name in the tags, a name will be generated from a precomposed version of the filename as opposed to the previous behavior generated from decomposed string.
 
30.0.21 (10/14/2022)

1. Fixed: Wiki web link was opening an image instead of the main article.
2. Changed: The time-shifting file for playback of a DMS channel will have the extension of .jrts instead of .dat.
3. Fixed: Pasting strings from the clipboard containing diacritical characters (like ü) into MC wouldn't work properly if the strings were decomposed utf-8.
4. Changed: Updated video rendering engine for JRVR.

30.0.20 (10/13/2022)

1. Fixed: Wiki web link was opening an image instead of the main article.
2. Changed: The time-shifting file for playback of a DMS channel will have the extension of .jrts instead of .dat.
3. Fixed: Clearing the search box could cause the active tab to shift in some cases as the search box took focus.
4. NEW: Added another mode to ListCombine(...) expression function to allow outputting only values not common to both lists.
5. Changed: Updated Norwegian translation (thanks Řistein Rian).
6. Changed: The SSDP utility will clear the current list of devices and get a fresh list on a rescan.
7. Changed: The device list in the SSDP utility is now sorted alphabetically.
8. Fixed: The SSDP utility could crash while scanning in some rare cases.
9. Changed: The filter box for toolbars accepts a leading "-" so "-playlist" will hide all the playlists.
10. Fixed: Copying and installing of saved Thumbnails when restoring a library backup.
11. Changed: Added a note after the VST buffer size setting that a restart is required.
12. Changed: Made the MakeMKV title selection dialog a bit wider to better handle longer title names.
13. Fixed: The title output filename edit box in the MakeMKV title selection dialog would lose focus while editing in some cases.
14. Fixed: MakeMKV could fail while ripping and the error would not get reported to the user.
15. Fixed: The JRVR shader cache could be corrupted when using MediaCenter for video playback.
16. Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
17. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
18. Changed: Five seconds of silence is pushed through VST plugins on flush.
19. Changed: Updated Chinese (Simplified) translation file (thanks YanJun Sun).
20. Changed: Cloudplay home page, some minor tweaks to recent playlists display.

30.0.18 (10/7/2022)

1. Changed: Renamed DVBC frequency table file from "Denmark.Yousee.Odense.Glentevejens" to "Denmark.Yousee.Odense.Glenten", and a frequency entry in the file was updated.  Thanks ABA!
2. Changed: When getting Theater View backdrop images (for movies and TV series) from TheMovieDB, we will attempt to use only the images that are tagged with the language code that matches the default local language.  If that fails we will fall back to any language.
3. Changed: The MCWS function Files/Search only returns a failure if no matching files are found with the "play" action, otherwise an empty list.
4. Changed: When searching for cover art, if art is found named [Filename] - [Poster] it will be used (so Titanic - Poster.jpg will work for the movie Titanic.mkv).

13. Changed: Cloudplay pages in MC now support "back" navigation.
14. Fixed: Menu buttons on Cloudplay pages wrap without getting cut off (always shown, no longer collapse).
15. Fixed: Fonts could get cached after DPI/size changes, resulting in the wrong size.
16. NEW: Added an experimental option to enable per-monitor DPI scaling.
17. Changed: More tuning of the smooth progress bar.
18. Fixed: Ctrl+R (JRVR reset) did not work in all types of live TV playback.
19. NEW: JRVR performance profiles can now be selected in the JRVR General settings.
20. Changed: Adjusted the progress bar at track endings a little more.
21. NEW: Added a "Hide unchanged files" option to "Rename, Move, & Copy files...".
22. Fixed: The position slider could stop moving near the end of the file.
23. Fixed: Clicking "Close" on a tag could reopen the editing if the click was right above the field.
24. Fixed: Edit fields in the tag window could fail to close when clicking away in the last build.
25. Fixed: Turning off artist images would switch to the previous artist image instead of the cover in build 9.
26. NEW: Artist name in the Cloudplay track list is a link to Spotlight.

37. Fixed: Pane header text would not align properly when the scale was not 100%.
38. NEW: Added a FilterForUser to the MCWS/Files/Search call to allow filtering based on the current user.
39. Fixed: Audio Path did not work with TV playback of types DMS, IPTV.
40. Changed: Reverted the mouse cursor changing when over the expand / collapse arrows in the tree.
41. Fixed: When syncing to a portable from a client, filenames were not being set correctly.
42. Changed: The tree expand / collapse markers will respond to clicks for the entire height of the item instead of a slice of the height.
43. NEW: Added a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl;Shift;E) to reset the pane selection (MCC 26023,-1).
44. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
45. Changed: Re-designed the JRVR Scaling settings dialog.
46. NEW: Chroma scaling in JRVR can now be configured independently of image upscaling (advanced mode only).

See changes 11 and 12 in this build.
Some feedback would be nice.
Fullscreen mode should be fine on 13.0 now and some of the improvements made to that could make things better in previous versions of MacOS as well.

Super slow to populate library on launch since a few versions ago. Modern Cards Dark right side border is still only one pixel wide.

It will do that one time when the library updates.
Otherwise I see no difference.
Are you loading a remote library (library server?)

I’m using the media server for JRemote support. Seems to be delayed every launch.  Library is on thunderbolt external raid ssd never had any delay previously. Had an idea for a future feature being to broadcast itself as a HomeKit device for controlling via Home app and so it can be controlled via Siri to play pause volume etc similarly to HomePod commands. Basically make it present itself as a HomePod on the network that could also be air played to or from.

I like the HomeKit idea. Not sure how difficult that would be to implement.

But you are not connecting to a Media Server on a different machine with this Mac, right?
The Library is on your local machine and the content is on the external drive or?
There's nothing read-only in this scenario is there?

Thanks.

Today I decided to check out MC3.0.30 and the following is a list of some of the problems I encountered.

N.B. Some of these problems Exsted in earlier versions.
In addition, I was also using/testing some new skins and TrackInfo plugins at the same time.

Using MC30.0.23:-
At present the 64,000+ files for my Music Collection sit on an External 8GB M2.SSD that I can attach to either my Win or Mac machines and since I'd updated a lot of metadata for those files, using the Win PC, I decided to clear down the Mac Library and then Re-import the files.
This I did in "Files View" and for some obscure reason MC would switch between telling me they were on 1 Volume and sometimes on 2 Volumes.
under the "Files View" seeing you have Volumes with a / and another with a \ if you select either, are there files in both? Any overlap if so?
How are you importing these files?
What's the volume format? ExFat??
Quote
When it was saying 1 Volume it was correctly reporting the volume name preceded by a forward slash but when the 2nd volume appeared the volume name was preceded by a back slash.
The other odd thing I observed was if I switched skins while the import was going on the progress information reported in the tree vanished but became visible again if I switched back to the initial skin.
Another oddity was when I switched to Display View - All I got was a view that was only showing the "Press Escape to exit...." message.
Display view while playing and importing at the same time? Was the player zone selected? It's normal to display that blank view and message when nothing is playing in the selected zone.
Quote
I then set MC playing and started to test it out.

I encountered a really odd thing that involved using a TrackInfo Plugin and having the tag window open in playing now and then switching to another view.
When the new view opened the TrackInfo Plugin remained visible above the top part of the screen for the new view.
The "solution to the problem" was even stranger, to get the TrackInfo plugin to disappear I had to open the Display in the Tree.

Can't say much about trackinfo and changing views yet. I've not had much time to work on that since I got trackinfo going a couple of major releases ago but looking at it is on my todo list.
Quote
Another problem I spotted was that the Vertical Gridlines used to separate Columns in several views are not being drawn properly, Bob - it's the part of the skinning engine that uses the "gridlines" value in the List section.
I'd guess that's a problem with retina scaling in MC.
Quote
Plus, it is impossible to get the pop-up player bar to appear in Cover View I tried fishing around at the top of the MC Window and above it with the mouse, but it never popped up, but it does pop up in Display View.
Not suprised. Cover View on Mac has issues.
Quote
In both Mini-View and Display View the Wrong Dropdown Menu's are being displayed those 2 should only have abridged versions of File, View and Player in the menu bar, instead they are displaying the full menu bar.
Will see if that can be done.
Quote
Other problems involving the TrackInfo Plugins:-
For some reason I can't work out the Horizontal Scrollbar is not appearing if/when I select Lyrics in 1 Column with Horizontal Scrollbar.
If/when I switch to a TrackInfo Plugin for a different "Theme/Skin" the Rating Images being displayed are either those for the previous plugin, or a mixture of some from the previous plugin and some for the current plugin on different pages.

Using MC30.0.30.

It's nice/cool that a pop-up window, like DSP Studio stays on top, but it has some disadvantages. If somebody decides to switch to another view while it's open it stays on top of that new view until the user closes it.
Just tested that on windows to compare. It's still there just underneath the other view. Pretty sure I know where to go at that, issues like this are bound to come up with the addition of using the Mac window layers.
Quote
The Command attached to the New "Restart MC" icon that can be added to the Top and/or Bottom Toolbars doesn't work (Matt added it way back in MC30.0.3)
Fixed that now.
Quote
Using MC30.0.30 and Ventura 13.0.1
I got brave, or should that be went insane, and let the mini update itself to Ventura even though Apple haven't yet officially released it.

Don't know if this was a reaction to just how long it takes to install a new OS update on the Mac but to me MC30 + Ventura appeared to be quicker. Especially when switching to views that used categories.
The one thing that did suprise me though was after closing down MC was just how much the OS was accessing the removable drive the media files was on; something that neither Win10 or Win11 does.

If anyone is interested this Gallery https://pix01.jriver.com/3M1%40UmFH Shows screenies of some of the problems mentioned along with pics of the Skins and Trackinfo Plugins I'm working on.
Thanks.

bob - the disk is formatted as ExFat as that Is the only one that will allow both the Win and Mac to read from and write to the files.
I was using the "Import a Single Folder" option and didn't click on either format if and when it was showing  both. I'm kind of guessing both were appearing when MC grabbed another batch/group of files to read as it went back to showing it only with the forward slash fairly quickly. Personally as long as people are aware that it is something that can happen I doubt if there its anything needs doing about it since the correct format is the only one showing when the import finishes.

Something I forgot to mention yesterday - Is there any particular reason why the Mac does not populate the Volume Name Field/Tag?
Oh that's during processing, that seems like something that should be easy to fix.

As for the Volume Name field, it's probably just because the code there is windows drive/share oriented. I'll take a peek at that too.

But you are not connecting to a Media Server on a different machine with this Mac, right?
The Library is on your local machine and the content is on the external drive or?
There's nothing read-only in this scenario is there?

Thanks.

Correct... Everything on local machine, audio files on external raid ssd connected via thunderbolt 3
