New MC16 Features and
Upgrade Instructions16.0.126 (7/6/2011)
1. NEW: Added support for
gapless AAC playback (requires iTunSMPB header).
2. NEW: Added native
DFF and DSF file support. Output is as 64-bit PCM data with an 8:1 resample (normally 352800 Hz).
3. Fixed: Re-starting time-shifting after stopping time-shifting on digital television tuners could cause MC to crash.
4. Fixed: MC could crash in some instances when starting television in time-shifting mode.
5. Fixed: In certain cases customizing Theater View's layout could lead to a crash.
6. Fixed: Unnesting a Theater View library view could break navigation in certain cases.
7. Fixed: Import of some
OGG files could hang.
16.0.125 (7/5/2011)
1. Changed: Improved internal volume mode handling for television playback.
2. Fixed: Right-click menu did not work properly for some analog television/video capture devices.
3. Fixed: 'Volume Protection' could incorrectly reduce the volume when starting playback if the previous track was not stopped before starting the new play.
4. Fixed: DVD aspect ratio could be incorrect.
5. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).
6. NEW: Added a video playback option to allow compensating for audio / video synchronization issues due to input lag, custom DSP processing, etc. (Options > Video > Advanced >
A/V sync correction milliseconds).
7. Fixed:
Analyzing audio with multiple files at a time could lead to a hang.
8. Fixed: Pressing TAB in an edit-style option could lead to unexpected results.
9. Faster: Improved performance of core audio engine.
16.0.124 (6/30/2011)
1. NEW: When controlling a DLNA device, if the device is turned off and later turned on, playback will resume. Allows picking a mix playlist and then turning a device on and off to control music without requiring additional user interaction.
2. Fixed: Some complex expressions could fail to save properly in the recent list of the 'Rename, Move, & Copy Files...' dialog.
3. Fixed: Options > Services listed YouTube playback bitrate twice.
4. Changed: If video playback is stopped near the end of the file (within 4%), no
bookmark is saved.
5. Fixed: Theater View would not stay minimized properly when running external programs.
6. Changed: Reduced the maximum allowable primary buffering for DirectSound, Kernel Streaming, WaveOut, and WASAPI from 5 seconds to 1 second (500ms or less is recommended).
7. Fixed: Manufacturer name for JRService.exe was showing as "Unknown" in msconfig and other utilities for viewing services.
8. Changed: The DLNA server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This allows URL's (like streaming radio) to be played on devices that support it (like WDTV).
9. Changed: The TiVo server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This should allow mp3 URL's (like shoutcast) to be played. Needs testing.
10. Changed: Improved internal volume mode handling for video and DVD playback.
16.0.123 (6/29/2011)
1. Changed: Added handling of
DTS-in-WAV files with a .wav extension so that they always get decoded instead of playing as noise (automatic decoding via LAV Audio hopefully coming soon).
2. Changed: Better error messages when encountering problems with certain analog television devices.
3. Faster:
Faster video thumbnailing by about 35%.
4. Changed: Improved Red October system used when playing audio-only files with Directshow filters.
5. Faster:
Faster video import by about 45%.
6. Fixed: Thumbnailing could cause the desktop to flicker.
7. Fixed: Rare crash when playing music while DLNA zones appeared and disappeared.
8. Fixed: The level of redirected bass from Room Correction could be too low.
16.0.121 (6/28/2011)
1. Fixed: Data file associations (like .exe) were being offered as possible capabilities in Windows File Type management, and would cause problems when associated with Media Center.
2. Fixed: Switched Red October MPEG-2 decoding when not using the Microsoft decoder to libavcodec due to libmpeg2
crashes on TS files.
16.0.120 (6/27/2011)
1. NEW: Purity is a new stock skin (thanks to Cristian Arellano for his excellent work).
2. NEW: The
on screen display is drawn into madVR, making madVR exclusive mode work better.
3. Changed: Updated Red October HQ to use madVR 0.66.
4. Fixed: When starting video playback, the program could be unresponsive for about one second longer than necessary.
5. Changed: Minor correction in Chinese language file.
6. Fixed: Adding a file to a linked zone would unnecessarily resynchronize the zones to the beginning of the current song.
7. Fixed: With analyze audio enabled in Auto-Import, shutdown could take longer than expected in some cases.
8. Changed: Removed "Start digital television in time-shifting mode" option.
Digital television will always start in time-shifting mode.
9. Fixed: The file system tree in Import > Auto-Import > Add... did not use the correct skinning colors.
10. NEW: Added Options > Theater View > Advanced > Turn off NumLock on load (useful for some remote keyboards where numlock causes troubles).
