This is the latest version of MC20 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download: http://files.JRiver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter200039.dmg

20.0.39 (11/18/2014)

1. Fixed: Search box in upper right was broken in build 38.  Also tag editing wasn't working right and would sometimes crash.
2. NEW: Added support for APE audio format encoding.

20.0.38 (11/17/2014)

1. Fixed: 'Select font...' dialog in Options / View & Tree was crashing on Yosemite.
2. Changed: Default music path template on handheld devices changed from [Artist]/[Album] to [Album Artist (auto)]/[Album].
3. Fixed: Full-Screen video playback is actually fullscreen and hides the menu and dock.
4. NEW: Support for Shorten and Opus audio playback using the new JR playback engine (using FFmpeg).
5. Fixed: Recent builds were crashing on 10.6.8 systems due to some OpenGL video functions that didn't exist on 10.6.8.  Now the crash is gone and video is only supported on 10.7 and up.
6. Fixed: While Options dialog was shown, if another app was activated the Options dialog would still show on top.
7. Fixed: While Options dialog was shown, if DSP Studio was selected it showed under the options dialog.

20.0.29 (10/30/2014)

1. Fixed: Video playback uses full resolution rendering on Retina screens for improved quality.
2. Fixed: Crashes when importing videos.
3. Fixed: Showing video in display view was crashing.
4. Fixed: CUE file parsing updated to better handle link filenames.

20.0.28 (10/29/2014)

1. NEW: Video playback support!  It's brand new on Mac so there may be some issues.  Please test and report, thanks.
2. Fixed: Drop box not working in Add Library View / View As, also the drop box for Bitstreaming choices was not working.
3. Fixed: File name paths containing single quotes were failing to move/copy.
4. Fixed: Possible fix for text entry of Asian characters.  Please test and let us know.
5. Fixed: App is now signed to comply with latest Yosemite requirements.
6. Fixed: Some handheld syncs would fail due to very long filenames.
7. Fixed: AIFF files that have a tag that's one byte longer than the metadata will still import (previously we would fail to read the tags).

20.0.24 (10/18/2014)

1. Fixed: An inserted CD was not reliably being found by Media Center.
2. Fixed: The options dialog disappears and the app appears frozen if the user clicks on Media Center outside the dialog window.
3. Fixed: Web page links that wanted to open a new window were being ignored, now they open in an external browser.
4. Fixed: Backspace and tab keys weren't working right within web pages.
5. Fixed: Problems with developer certificate caused installation issues on some systems.
6. Fixed: Files not added to the sync queue when dragged onto the icon in the action Window.

20.0.14 (9/9/2014)

1. NEW: Audio CD ripping and playback.
2. NEW: Added "Add (artist)" to the playback commands so a full artist can be added to Playing Now.

4. NEW: Added 'Date First Rated' field.
5. NEW: Added M3U8 as a playlist format for a handheld.
6. NEW: Added a volume command 'Enable volume when bitstreaming' to force the volume slider to stay active even if it's bitstreaming.

15. Changed: Selected values are at the top of the drop list in the Smartlist editor.
16. Changed: MC sets Bit Depth and Sample Rate for SACD files on import.
17. Fixed: Reporter "Audio Analyzed" always reported 100%.
18. Changed: Audio Analysis of files with only silence will mark the files as "No Audio" instead of trying to boost the volume by an extreme value.
19. Fixed: Crashing when dragging tracks to playlists, handhelds, etc.
20. Fixed: Tracks could not be dragged onto the handheld action window's "drop here" icon area.

Search problem fixed for me. 

[chrisgreen]

Search field is good. SHN playback is not working. I only have two SHN files to test (from same source). Could that be a problem?

[chrisgreen]

I am getting 'something went wrong with playback' errors from FLAC files. Played for about 5 minutes before error. Happened twice now.

No problem with FLAC here.

[chrisgreen]

Can't reproduce the FLAC playback issue the rest of the evening. Maybe not an issue.

[alcyst]

Not a question about this release in general, more about this forum. Is this a "Stable" release?

[JimH]

The Stable release is always on the Download Page, but sometimes the Latest release will have a fix for a problem  that isn't in the Stable release.

I can't type more than one letter into the search field in this version. 20.0.39 fixed the search problem.  I missed the update.  However I still notice that  Command Q does not work anymore (neither in .38 or .39).

[olson_jr]

Not sure if this is the correct place for this but I just want to say thanks.

I have had issues with dropouts playing SACD.iso's with MC19, so far so good with 20.0.39.

[Rafal Lukawiecki]

Since the update to .39 it is no longer possible to clear the "Playing now" playlist/queue, because although the command is being issued by a remote (JRemote in my case), the server pops up a message asking "Would you like to clear Playing Now? This will stop playback.". The problem is that this message appears on a headless Mac server, and it is not possible to dismiss it without logging onto the server, connecting via screen sharing, and dismissing it.

May I suggest that this message is either removed or made optional, somehow? May I respectfully suggest that it is important that when MC is used on a server that no UI interaction ever blocks remote operation, as the server is headless. Many thanks for your hard work.
