JRiver Media Center 23.0.52 for Mac
« on: September 13, 2017, 03:44:24 pm »

This is the latest build of JRiver Media Center 23 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/v23/latest/MediaCenter230052.dmg

23.0.52 (9/13/17)

1. Fixed: Up/Down arrow keys were still wrong.

23.0.51 (9/12/17)

1. Fixed: Keyboard problems still: arrow keys were inserting spaces into edit controls.
2. NEW: Added the right-click command to playing now "Paste Playing Now Image From Clipboard".  This way you can customize the image shown for a device.
3. Changed: Panel - The selected zone is now stored in a cookie and restored when returning to Web Gizmo after navigating away.
4. Changed: Panel - File conversion works on images so incompatible image types should now work on Web Gizmo.
5. Fixed: Converting video to MPEG-2 AutoFPS could fail due to an imprecise framerate.

23.0.50 (9/7/17)

1. Changed: Made the advanced section in the new tag window include calculated fields.
2. Changed: Updated the wording on the access key generation dialog to better describe adding the library.
3. Changed: You can no longer add your own library to the "Add Library" dialog.  Instead it shows a warning.
4. Fixed: Main thread could still stall for 30 seconds or more when a user created "handheld" device is actually a network drive which was removed from the network.
5. Changed: Typing searches in the tag window search box will accept entering a pipe to or the test with other things (ie. genre|artist).
6. Changed: If you pick "No import" from the auto-import count-down, it won't do another count-down.
7. Changed: The playlist export option "Store paths relative to exported playlist location" is saved between runs of the tool.
8. Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts were broken in 23.0.42.

23.0.42 (8/31/17)

1. Fixed: In list views, the "typed navigation" feature (type a letter to select the next track beginning with that letter) wasn't working for characters with diacritic marks (e.g. umlauts, accents, etc.).
2. Fixed: Non English text input was not working correctly in most edit controls.  MC still does not handle languages requiring multiple key presses for a single character, such as many Asian languages.
3. Changed: In the Cmd-K popup text entry dialog for entering special characters, the input field is now focused immediately so you don't need to click in it first.
4. Fixed: Small memory leak in text sorting system.
5. Changed: The image portion of the tag window uses the same highlight color from the skin as the text fields.
6. Changed: Added selection colors to the tag section of all the skins (thanks Awesome Donkey).
7. Fixed: If one of the conversion cache folders was empty, it would exclude all folders from an import.
8. Changed: Conversion cache folders are enforced to always be underneath a "JRiver Conversion Cache" folder.
9. Changed: Convert Format tool will prevent system from going to sleep.
10. Changed: The fields with values section of the new tag window now includes editable calculated fields like year.
11. Changed: Skins can specify a highlight color for the tag window by filling: <TAGWINDOW> <Colors Selection="00FF00" /> with a value.
12. Changed: When Media Center pops out of the tray to play a video (new feature) it'll now return to the tray after the video is stopped.
13. Changed: The reshuffle remaining command disables when there's less than two tracks in Playing Now.
14. Changed: Panel replaces the old WebGizmo interface.
15. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added radio buttons and play doctor search.
16. Fixed: Web Gizmo - Mobile view playback controls.
17. Changed: Made searching on an expression work with greater than and less than signs to treat it as a number (that makes a search like [=ListCount([Artist])]=>1 work).
18. Changed: Web Gizmo - Simplified interface by removing the sidebar and adding navigation links.
19. Fixed: Picking multiple files with different ratings would clear the rating field in the new tag window.
20. Fixed: Possible rare crash from the tab control code.
21. Fixed: Typed navigation was not working in pane views on Windows.
22. NEW: Ratings show as lists of clickable stars in the new tag window instead of as a number.
23. Changed: Lyrics and other large value type edit fields will show up to 6 lines in the new tag window instead of only one line.
24. Fixed: Mouse wheeling over a large text edit control in the new tag window would stop the editing instead of scrolling.
25. Changed: Clicking the close button on the new tag window will stop any open editing instead of closing the window.
26. NEW: Web Gizmo - Playing now page on mobile has complete playback controls.

23.0.41 (8/24/17)

1. Fixed: When certain keyboard input sources were selected (e.g. Japanese and maybe others), keyboard input was not working.
2. Changed: The zone switch menu appears when you right-click DLNA zones.
3. Changed: Files that get linked now contain a "Link Start" field value that's the first file in the link.  This allows you to easily see if a file is linked or not (since the "Link" field is empty on the last file).
4. Changed: When starting playback of linked tracks, the first file in the link set is always started (if the link was newly created so has the Link Start set).
5. Changed: Clicking a large edit box will no longer select all (instead the selection will be at the start).
6. Changed: Added the video option "Stop after a long pause" to make the new behavior optional (defaults to on).
7. NEW: The new tag window has the ability to show all fields with values (just add the type "Fields With Values" in the edit dialog).
8. NEW: Added the expression function IsDigit to test a string for digits (and decimals).
9. Fixed: "Get Movie & TV Info" properly handles Unicode sequences in the TheTVDB result.
10. NEW: "Get Movie & TV Info" now offers a language choice for metadata lookup (currently available with TheTVDB and TheMovieDB).
11. Changed: Web Gizmo - Added tree browsing optimizations which limit the number of requests.
12. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added currently playing name and artist information to playback bar.
13. Fixed: Web Gizmo - Search bar was not updating results on change.
14. NEW: Web Gizmo - Progress bar now shows buffered portions of the media.
15. NEW: Web Gizmo - Fullscreen mode for images along with previous & next controls.
16. NEW: Web Gizmo - Added search, playing now file list, and file list view when browsing.

Thanks for the immediate repair.
Still not working is the ➔ and ⬅︎ arrow to jump some seconds forward or back.
And if the "normal" Mac shortcuts like command-erase for deleting a file and
all the others that work in hundreds of Mac programs do their job would be implanted....
But - all the same - it's a wonderful program and miles ahead from iTunes!

Forward and back arrow jump in time when in Display view.  Like when you are watching a video.  They seem to have some other meaning when in Playing Now.

Command-Delete is one of the worst shortcuts on the Mac.  I wouldn't like it at all if that was "delete" in MC.

Did you know that you can make your own key mappings in MC?  I have about a dozen that I've done.  So you can set up any or all of these shortcut keys that you are asking for.  If you are interested, start a thread and I'll point you to a post I made about how to do it.

I wouldn't agree with the command-delete command. For me it's useful and time-sparing and in no way dangerous at all.
Two new bugs that I noticed:
It happened now for several times that I converted a Wave file via MediaCenter to Apple lossless of FLAC files with the context menu's convert and replace in library and hard disc command. Eventually they disappeared from the original folder. After some time I detected that Mediacenter created a new folder containing the files.
"Command-Z" to revoke a new made tag entry doesn't work anymore - at least on a German keyboard. Maybe it's different on an English/US keyboard

After some time I detected that MediaCenter created a new folder containing the files.

As I found out that's only the case if the name of the folder to which I want to save the file has some character that MediaCenter obviously doesn't understand (like "*")

After some very stable time with MediaCenter I again had some problem:
when I press command-k and type something like é or è into the field for
special characters and and confirm the typing by the return tap, MediaCenter crashes.

As I wrote in my last post MediaCenter (newest build) crashes every time when I write and save a special character in the command-k field.
Any solution?

Output Format Changes
« Reply #7 on: October 01, 2017, 11:41:15 am »

Every time I upgrade to the latest MC it seems to reset output format settings to resample everything and every time i set all to 'no change' but eventually I find them all reset back to resampling.  I have saved the settings every time, how do I prevent this change from occurring?  It doesn't seem to corrupt the other plugin settings only the output format.
