33.0.27 (9/26/2024)

1. Fixed: The Playing Now Popup could crash.

33.0.26 (9/26/2024)

1. Changed: Added "volume" content type to Playing Now Popup skin which is a volume slider.
2. Changed: Reversed change to try to prevent initial white flashing of the Playing Now Popup because it was causing other flashing problems.

33.0.25 (9/24/2024)

1. Changed: Added optional custom display expression for Playing Now Popup "showtracks" command (see Wiki).
2. Fixed: Disabled Playing Now Popup would not update when the track changes while being displayed manually.
3. NEW: Added a /BackupLibrary command line tool (takes a filename for the zip file).

33.0.24 (9/19/2024)

1. Changed: Tweaked 3-Track Popup skin to avoid content being cut off on Mac.
2. Changed: CUE files no longer process in the Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool because it would break the links.
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).

33.0.23 (9/16/2024)

1. Changed: Added new command ("showtracks") for Playing Now Popup images that will popup a list of Playing Now tracks and allow selecting one to play.
2. Changed: Optimized loading of the playback engine so it will not load all the input plugins on first play or import.
3. Changed: Images in Playing Now Popup can be hidden for certain playback states.  Updated Control skin to show pause or play button as appropriate.
4. Fixed: Theater View wouldn't play the selected file when pressing play.
5. Changed: Playing Now Popup skins are now supported in .mjp files.
6. Changed: "Remove Tags" library tool now works with HEIF/HEIC image files.
7. Fixed: Moving the Playing Now Popup could cause a crash if initiated with the context menu shown from a left click.

33.0.22 (9/12/2024)

1. Changed: When a client streams live TV from the server, the OSD "Programs" menu will show current and next program names, instead of just the channel name, to be consistent with the behavior when using a local tuner.

33.0.21 (9/9/2024)

1. Fixed: Incrementing files in Theater View from the roller with page up and page down did not work nicely in thumbnail lists.
2. Fixed: There would sometimes be a crash if hovering over a missing skin image in Playing Now Popup.
3. Changed: With a client streaming live TV from the server, the behavior of changing channel using OSD menu is now consistent with that when playing live TV using local tuner, i.e. it will require pressing the Enter key to activate the change.
4. Changed: Moved the new channels added last build to the end of the Channels enumeration so third party tools using the enumeration will not break or need updating.
5. Changed: BackColor is used for the initial draw in the Playing Now Popup to prevent a "White flash".
6. Fixed: When Playing Now Popup closed, it would affect other popup windows (DSP, etc.) and the current tab in Standard View.

33.0.20 (9/5/2024)

1. Fixed: Context menu for Playing Now Popup would sometimes show when clicking on transparent part of an image.
2. Fixed: 3-Track popup skin would show hand cursor when there is no next or previous file.
3. Fixed: YouTube in Theater View could show duplicates or non-playable clips in some cases.
4. Changed: Theater View scrolls a file at a time when pressing page up and page down on the rollers when a file is zoomed into.
5. Changed: Updated Polish translation (thanks Fresta).
6. Changed: Tweaked channel mixing some more.
7. Changed: 10 channel is now 5.1.4 and 12 channel is 7.1.4.  JRSS does not currently fill the height channels.

One of the most useful keyboard shortcuts is "Spacebar" to pause and resume audio playback.   With current Public Release 30.0.27, this action sometimes works and sometimes does not.

I have not nailed down the root cause of the indeterminacy.  My gut feeling guess is that it has something to do with recent changes to the Playing Now Popup.

Here is one way to reproduce the described issue:

1) Display the normal Playing Now in left panel.  The "Spacebar" shortcut toggles playback pause/resume as expected.
2) Switch to Tags display in left panel (either by bottom left Action Window > Tag button or equivalent Toolbar icon).
3) Without any additional mouse clicks, "Spacebar" no long works as a shortcut.
4) Left Mouse Button click once anywhere in the right side Content Panel.  "Spacebar" now works as expected.

Note the need for an extra mouse click never occurs when switching the left panel from Tags to Playing Now.

I don't recall step 4) being necessary in the past, so I can't say for sure if this is a new behavior, or just old usual behavior.  In any case it can be disconcerting until the user realizes the asymmetric need for an extra mouse click after switching the left panel display.

The Tag window was setting the focus to the search box.  It wants the spacebar, so that's why it wasn't translating.

Setting the focus wasn't really working anyway though because it had the focus but keys didn't go to it.

So I'll just stop setting the focus in a coming build.
