http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter130144.exe13.0.144 (03/24/2009)
1. Changed: It's now possible to select "Watch" on a television program that's going to be on in the next 15 minutes. (watch formerly appeared only when the program was on)
2. Changed: Reworked the status messages shown when pressing the Pause / Break in Theater View (and other 3D views) to show the anti-aliasing and anisotropic levels and a few other details.
3. Changed: With high-quality drawing enabled, Theater View will use 16x FSAA when the video card supports it (instead of just 4x FSAA).
4. Changed: The file info panel in Theater View no longer crops all images to squares, but instead maintains the aspect ratio of the image.
5. Changed: Theater View "Base 2.xml" (base of most skins) adds small borders to the edge of the screen so that skins like Glass that have item backgrounds don't look as crowded.
6. Fixed: MC would crash if it tried to record, in the background, a digital TV channel with low/no signal.
7. Fixed: When using Media Server and then showing Theater View first, when returning to Standard View no view would get loaded until manually switching views.
8. Changed: Reworded the confirmation message displayed when TV recording manager starts recording a program on a TV tuner that is already being used for viewing another channel. Also the confirmation message box now self-destructs in one minute and recording starts if the user does not click a button.
9. Fixed: If the user clicked Cancel on the confirmation message box for "switching channel and start recording", the message box popped up again and again. Now "Cancel" really means cancel.
10. NEW: Option to use favorite TV channels for Prevous / Next buttons. You can edit favorite channels list on "Edit Channel List..." window.
11. Fixed: Updated mc2xml support to be more compatible with the latest versions.
12. Fixed: When returning to Theater View and then returning to the root of Theater View, a different root could be selected than expected.
13. Fixed: Pasting tracks into a list (Ctrl+V) would not honor the selection position if the selection was not currently visible.
14. Fixed: If television recording cancelled a recording due to a user requesting to keep watching what is already on, it could delete an entire subscription instead of just the recording of that one program.
15. Changed: Improved audio handling on some analog television devices (possibly solving audio problem with Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1300 MCE).
16. NEW: Television recordings can be assigned a priority that will be used if more programs are scheduled than the system has available tuners.
13.0.143 (03/20/2009)
1. NEW: Added WASAPI device option to flush the soundcard's buffer on pause (to fix cards that keep looping their buffers while paused).
2. Fixed: Old style Theater View skins could crash on navigation.
3. NEW: Updated the "Hairstyle" Theater View skin to use newer roller-based animation.
4. NEW: Added new video fields "Director", "Producer", "Screenwriter", "Original Title", "MPAA Rating", "MPAA Rating Description", "Country", "Tagline", "Video Standard", "Aspect Ratio", "Actors", and "Studios".
5. Changed: Importing of "My Movies" export files is done using "Import Playlist..." tool.
6. Fixed: When running "Import Playlist..." the Open File dialog did not show txt and xml files when user chose "All playlist types" filter.
7. Changed: Starting or stopping recording a TV program while watching the program will no longer reverse TV's paused state, nor will it jump to live position.
13.0.142 (03/19/2009)
1. Fixed: Selecting secondary rollers in Theater View plugins was not possible when using the alternate navigation model.
2. Changed: Changed default Theater View frame rate to 60 fps instead of 30 fps.
3. NEW:
Theater View file info panel image uses true 3D rendering and uses a background thread to perform image loading.
4. Changed: Making an SDK request for a thumbnail will always resave the thumbnail instead of returning the file already on disk if the thumbnail was previously requested.
13.0.141 (03/18/2009)
1. NEW:
MC will import My Movies xml (
www.mymovies.dk) for ripped DVDs. Expect rough edges. Many fields are ignored at this stage.
2. NEW:
Added advanced Theater View option "Use alternate navigation model".
3. Changed: Viewing Television "Recordings" in Standard View will sort with the most recent recordings at the top of the list instead of the bottom.
4. Changed: Viewing Television "Recordings" will also include programs that are currently recording.
5. Changed: Enlarged the size of the file info panel shown on the right of file lists in Theater View.
6. Changed: The duration of a television program is shown long-hand instead of as "30:00" in Theater View.
7. Changed: Simplified Theater View Television view.
8. Fixed: The Audible store could create an "Audible Titles" smartlist even if the store was never being used.
9. Fixed: Smartlist rules built on playlists that used "is all" did not work properly.
10. Fixed: Configuring TV device could cause MC to crash if the TV device failed to initialize for whatever reason.
11. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar).
13.0.140 (03/13/2009)
1. Optimized:
More speed improvements to filename-based fields for faster searches and view loading.
2. Optimized: Album analyzer (fills album artist auto, mix albums, etc.) is
much faster.
3. Changed: In JRiver edit boxes, Shift+Delete did not place the deleted text on the clipboard.
4. Fixed: When using WASAPI, pausing playback, then starting another track, a little of the previous track could play.
5. NEW: Reworked how 'Recently Imported' and 'Recently Ripped' are pruned at shutdown -- always keeps things 7 days old or newer, keeps last 50 items (breaks on album boundaries), removes entire playlist after nothing new for 30 days. (Options > General > Advanced > Clear 'Recently Imported' playlist skips this logic and deletes the playlists on shutdown)
6. Fixed: On a fresh install, the stock smartlist "Recently Played" could show files that had not yet been played if nothing in the library had been played.
7. Fixed: Using a startup volume setting could cause the setting to unexpectedly get applied when new playback was started in a zone.
8. Fixed: Television recordings would always be detected as having external changes by auto-import, causing an unnecessary file analysis and rebuilding of thumbnails.
9. Changed: When navigating left on a secondary Theater View roller, it will skip the blank spot.
10. Changed: When looping right on a secondary Theater View roller, it will skip the back and blank spots.
