http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v25/latest/MediaCenter250095.dmg25.0.95 (8/23/2019)
1. NEW: Added the option to show the spectrum analyzers in the player independently for the left and right channels.
2. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
3. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
4. Changed: Made the "Library Views" view header for a library view always show (instead of only when the tree is hidden).
5. NEW: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.89. Adds support for more than two channel files.
6. Fixed: Import could crash because the new bitrate code didn't handle files without a duration.
7. NEW: Added an MCC to show the playerbar in Display View (code: 22038). The parameter (optional) is how long to show for.
8. Changed: Reworked how Play Doctor searches online for files so that it uses the original search instead of a processed copy (that might not mean the same thing).
9. Changed: Panel - The hardcoded buttons on the home page were rendering in a separate row.
10. NEW: Panel - Added lists for latest and popular Cloudplay playlists to the Cloudplay page.
11. Changed: Panel - The volume slider will display the current volume level when actively using it or when hovering over it.
12. Changed: Panel - When actively using the main thumbnail page slider, the display showing the letter selected will be in the center of the page.
13. Changed: Panel - Cloudplay favorites and all playlists are sorted alphabetically.
14. NEW: Added an MCC to set the player text between standard and alternative (code: 22039). The parameter is the state (-1 toggles).
15. Changed: Reworked how duplicates are managed for Cloud Play so files that aren't going to be played won't be trimmed.
16. Fixed: MIDI audio with file extensions ".rmi" and ".rmid" could not be played if playback type is "Automatic".
17. Fixed: Mp4 videos were imported as audio.
18. Changed: Panel - The Playlists button on the Cloudplay page now shows as loading until it receives the list of Cloudplay playlists.
19. Changed: DLNA: change the SetNextAVTransportURI timing from track end - 18 to track end - 24 to help with slow renderers.
20. Changed: Cloudplay now does a better job of handling the 'back' button when returning from other Media Center views. It's better (not perfect) at preserving the last view.
21. Changed: Made the MCWS call UserInterface/GetStreaming return an error if the streaming feature is off.
22. Fixed: A possible crash saving options (if one of the features was off).
23. Changed: When right-clicking a file if there are no zones, it will say it in the menu instead of n/a.
24. Changed: Panel - Improved the performance when browsing categories.
25. NEW: Panel - Added a last action option to the top of the file context menu.
26. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists section will render much faster.
27. Changed: Panel - The Cloudplay playlists button will show up after the list of playlists has finished loading.
28. Fixed: Panel - The Cloudplay token could become invalid, but Panel would still think it was valid.
29. Changed: Panel - Removed the sign out button from the Cloudplay page now that the issue with invalid tokens is fixed.
30. Changed: Panel - The additional playback controls menu will now hide after making a selection.
31. Fixed: Panel - Clearing the playing now list when it was empty would cause a crash.
32. Fixed: Panel - The playback state would sometimes get set incorrectly when playing to a zone other than the browser.
25.0.92 (8/13/2019)
1. Fixed: The socket write timeout that was being set to the duration of a track from 25.0.86 has been removed (default is now 86400 secs) because it was causing issues with rending devices that had paused playback and that pulled the entire track in one request.
2. Changed: Typed navigation would scroll the list all the way to the left instead of just scrolling vertically.
3. Changed: Nested the Streaming Theater View items under "Radio" and "Stations".
4. NEW: Made the import from iTunes library import the playlists as well (to an iTunes playlist group).
5. Changed: Made the import from iTunes library get ratings.
6. Fixed: Playback/PlayRadioJRiver would return a failure code when playing a Radio JRiver station (instead of success).
7. Changed: Made the "Streaming" Theater View item no longer load files until hitting enter (to play, etc.).
8. NEW: Streaming in Theater View also shows JRiver Cloudplay playlists.
9. Fixed: Syncing with an empty filename rule would put the extension on the file twice.
10. Fixed: Saving an empty filename rule for a handheld would not save properly.
11. Fixed: Calls to Handheld/Sync before the handheld engine loaded devices would not work properly.
12. Changed: MC will load <plot> field from NFO sidecar files into "Description" field so users will not need to create a custom field "plot".
13. NEW: Added the command "Import From iTunes Database..." to the file menu to import from the XML file that iTunes can save the library as. It will import all the files and make a playlist with them.
14. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.82.
25.0.88 (8/5/2019)
1. Fixed: Column sizing would not be consistent on high DPI.
2. Fixed: Media Center would not respond on TLS ports since 25.0.86.
3. Fixed: Showing Theater View from a minimized program state would not always work.
4. NEW: Added the ability to add "Streaming" to the root of Theater View with a display of Radio JRiver stations and Radio Paradise.
5. Fixed: The ideal height of the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog is calculated from a layout so should be much better on high DPI.
6. Changed: Made column creation use the system scale for the width so columns should be wider on high DPI.
7. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
8. Fixed: Cloudplay via PlayDoctor wasn't working right when no local library matches were found.
9. Changed: Added a 'Play' button next to the Cloudplay search box when a search term is present. This triggers playback of a Play Doctor playlist using the search term.
10. Fixed: The scale factor (retina) for the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog and Options dialog was broken.
11. Fixed: A segfault in JRWorker.
25.0.87 (8/1/2019)
1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
2. Fixed: Panel - Cover art was not loading when playing certain streams, like Radio Paradise.
3. Changed: The socket write timeout is set on a per-file served basis to the duration of the file + some padding.
4. Fixed: The ideal height of the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog is calculated from a layout so should be much better on high DPI.
5. Changed: Made column creation use the system scale for the width so columns should be wider on high DPI.
6. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
7. Fixed: Cloudplay via PlayDoctor wasn't working right when no local library matches were found.
25.0.85 (7/29/2019)
1. NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Reset window position settings to reset the placement of windows.
2. Changed: Made the default height of options taller.
3. Changed: The socket write timeout to prevent hung sockets introduced in 25.0.81 (30 seconds) was too small for devices that have large buffers resulting in stopped playback in the middle of a track. Set it to 300 seconds.
4. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.81.
5. Changed: DLNA: If we are controlling a zone check it's state on 5 second intervals even if it's not the current zone (was 20 secs).
6. Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)
7. NEW: DLNA: Add controller option to ignore other controllers (for misbehaving renderers).
8. Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).
9. NEW: You can select a maximum play bitrate for Cloud Play files from the menu (defaults to 1500).
10. Fixed: Customizing the columns of a parent view would reset the columns of a child view.
11. Fixed: The new tag pasting function didn't properly accept the newline characters on Mac.
12. NEW: Added the option to stop after a delay for going to sleep. Look at Player > More Stop.
13. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 surround channel in 2.1 or 3.1 output mode could result in some channel being lost, instead of being downmixed properly.
14. Changed: Tuned the show and hide times for menus so they work better on some systems.
15. Changed: Panel - Added a sign out button to the Cloudplay page.
16. Fixed: Media Center could crash when starting playback on older CPUs.
17. Fixed: Last.fm was not working properly in all cases.
18. Fixed: Viewing a handheld could crash.
19. Changed: Subclarity enables for 3.1 playback.
20. Changed: Update RadioParadise cover art retreival URL
21. Fixed: Restore original screen blanking, screen saver and other related (OS dependent) state on exit.
25.0.81 (7/22/2019)
1. NEW: The MCWS function to play the JRiver radio will accept "Try Me", "Eclectic", "Classical", "Jazz", and "Rock" as station names and play those stations.
2. Fixed: Dragging Direct Show DSP filters to a differt place in the list could crash.
3. Changed: The increments for the mouse wheel in Room Correction for the speaker distance are now 0.1 ft or 0.01 meters.
4. NEW: Added the option to "Enable pane tagging" to the panes to allow tagging and the checkboxes to be turned off.
5. NEW: Ctrl+Shift+V pasting will accept a series of strings on the clipboard (separated by newlines) and paste them into a single selected field.
6. Fixed: Uninstalling a DSP plugin could crash.
7. Fixed: JRWorker would crash trying to save settings on exit causing re-evaluated video files (when auto-import enabled) and new video files to be misidentified as non-video files.
25.0.80 (7/19/2019)
1. NEW: Added an experimental 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital). Feedback appreciated.
2. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
3. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.
4. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
5. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
6. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).
7. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.
8. Changed: Renamed the player menu choice to "Left Align Artwork" so it matches with the on and off wording.
9. Changed: Made toggling zones forward and back (Ctrl+T, etc.) go in the display order instead of the order created.
10. Changed: Made the center channel adjustment also enable for 2.1 playback.
11. NEW: Made the tooltip for the taskbar popup contain the artist and name of the playing track.
12. NEW: Added a "Reset To Stock" menu item to the VST "Load" button. It will reset all the settings back to stock.
13. Fixed: The ~expand smartlist modifier would not import / export properly.
14. Fixed: Formatting big date spans with expressions did not always work properly.

20. NEW: The Q factor can be set for low and high pass filters in Parametric Equalizer.
21. Changed: Made the default search for the new Cloud Play option the same as the default Play Doctor search.
22. Changed: When starting Play Doctor with a search that has no matches in the library, it will message instead of playing random files.
23. Changed: When MC fails to read any 'mdat' atom from mp4/m4a/m4v/mov files using its regular method, usually due to bad 'free' atoms in the files, it will try scanning the files for such atoms.
24. Fixed: Not all playlists would show in the Tag Action Window after a recent optimization.
25.0.75 (7/9/2019)
1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.
2. Changed: If Media Center fails to start video playback, it will message about the audio but now add a string about adjusting the video delay.

8. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.
9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
11. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified. The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
