1. Fixed: French DVB-T television tuning did not work.

1. Changed: Increased the maximum memory size of loadable PNG images from 256 MB to 1 GB.

5. Changed: OSD menu stays on screen for longer time.
6. Fixed: When converting CUE files, the resulting filename could be incorrect.

13.0.167 (05/07/2009)

1. Fixed: ID3v2 tagging could discard the # tracks / # discs portion of the track # and disc # when tagging.
2. Fixed: When first installing a VST Plug-in, it was not possible to enable it for processing without restarting playback.
3. Fixed: VST Plug-ins that exposed more inputs and outputs than the current output format could crash.
4. Fixed: When pausing audio playback, if it performed buffering while paused, it could switch the playback state back to play.
5. Fixed: Setting the mute value to -1 (to mean true) from the automation SDK did not work nicely.
6. Fixed: Television channel scanning did not work for the last few builds.

13.0.166 (05/06/2009)

1. Fixed: With the ripping option to overwrite existing files enabled some encoders would not work. (only applies to last few builds)
2. Fixed: Using incomplete math syntax like "3 /" or "2+1+" could cause problems in expressions.
3. Changed: DSP Plug-ins are always loaded from the main user interface. (solves problems with plugins that create user interface at load instead of when requested by Media Center like DFX)
4. Optimized: Improved performance of JRiver edit / expression controls.

13.0.165 (05/05/2009)

1. Changed: Upgrades to HTML parser used for RSS feeds in Theater View. (Yahoo! News, The Onion, etc.)
2. Changed: Improved Theater View's support of The Onion in the News plug-in.

6. Fixed: Theater View's Weather configuration dialog did not support tabbed navigation.

13.0.164 (05/04/2009)

1. Fixed: Showing Theater View on systems without DirectX 9 (or later) installed could cause a crash.
2. Fixed: WMA encoding would not work properly on a fresh install (only applies to the last few builds).
3. Fixed: Encoding could crash in certain cases (only applies to the last few builds).
4. Changed: If television is configured to automatically refresh the programming guide, it will do so once a day OR if there are no programs available (retries every 30 minutes if there are no programs).
5. Changed: Shortened the portable install description in the installer so it fits better with larger fonts.
6. Changed: Switched the Austria country code used for mc2xml to AT.
7. NEW: Added CD burning in Theater View. (use "Burn" item in roller of any file view)
8. NEW: Added CD ripping in Theater View. (pick "DVD" with an audio CD in the drive and then select "Rip disc")
9. Fixed: Corrected a typo on the new Converter options page.
10. Changed: Reverted to also looking in the legacy Media Jukebox location for DSP Plug-ins to better support DFX, etc.
11. Fixed: When installing a new skin from a webpage, the change did not take effect until restarting the program.
12. Fixed: Album grouping / album expansion could cause problems when using Google Images from the Links bar to set the cover art for a video.

Does this also address the issue with Windows 7?

eg. "Media Center is unable to play file from this device"

This seems to happen when trying to play a file that was transferred (synced) using MC on a portable device.
If however you expand the tree, MC plays the media files fine.

This behaviour doesn't exist on XP.

Windows 7 is the 7100 x86 build..

On this build I "lost" the file type on 90% of my tracks - the column went from "mp3" to blank. Trying to synch my Ipod failed as all these tracks were marked as "file type not supported". I've manually entered the correct type in the field and the synch is now taking place as normal.

I think we'll need a few more details.  You can't play files off some handheld devices, but that's a limitation of the device.

Maybe you could start a thread and describe where the files are and how you're playing them.

Thanks.

Sure thing Matt.. I just confirmed this issue on another machine running the same barebones build... Starting a new Windows 7 issue with portable devices thread..

PS: I don't think this is a device capable issue but more like a driver issue of somekind.. I know for a fact that Windows 7 and Vista handle programs differently than XP..

Don't kill it.

How can I start it ? MC13 won't allow to start another one.
Old one is running there doing nothing.

Please start a new thread and describe in detail

Include settings for Media Server in MC Startup options.

This bug is still here w/ this build:

I found a bug when trying to edit pictures via the MC shell integration links in Windows.

Right click a photo in windows -> Media Center -> Edit

Media Center opens the photo through the audio editing tool that comes with MC, and naturally, an error pops up that you cannot edit the photo's audio properties 

The shell integration 'edit' feature should be file type specific so the photo editing tool opens up when trying to edit a photo.

[Matt]

This bug is still here w/ this build:

Edit will only fire the audio editor in v13.  The shell extensions don't have an easy way to route to the image editor based on file type.  We looked at adding this feature, but it was too complex a change to make late in v13 development.
