1. Fixed: Possible crash during playback in rare cases.
2. Changed: Manage TV Channels tool will now show channel details (Device name, URL, etc.) of Tuner Stream channels.
3. Changed: When matching TitanTV TV channels with ATSC channels in MC, we use relaxed matching criteria because TitanTV uses outdated physical channel number on some channels.
4. Changed: When viewing an ATSC channel using TitanTV interface, MC will try matching with a Tuner Stream channel if an ATSC channel is not found.
5. Changed: The ListMix expression function escapes parenthesis in the replacements so they won't disrupt the parser and look like functions.

14. Changed: Media Center now uses TheMovieDB for TV Show metadata lookup, series/season posters and Theater View background art.
15. Changed: The OSD doesn't display when playing an image, then jumping to full screen (before it would show the zoom level).
16. Fixed: Starting an image playing and then jumping to Display View would not make the image fill the view.
17. Fixed: The subtitle engine would select the wrong sidecar subtitle files in some situations.
18. Changed: Disabled event notifications for other applications through global broadcast messages, since they can interfere with smooth operation of other applications.
19. Changed: Standardized on ";" for the list delimiter instead of "; " for all the expressions.
20. Changed: Actors, producers, etc. from TheMovieDB are delimited with ";" instead of "; ".
21. Changed: Memory playback turns off when there's less than 256 MB of memory (previously it would still try to allocate that much).

3. Fixed: Updated Google date lookup to use the newer page styles of Google.
4. Fixed: The missing file icon was not working.

6. Fixed: GroupCount also works on the full set of library files instead of the working set.
7. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
8. NEW: Television option to allow users to pick a specific TV rating system (if available) in XMLTV files.

9. Changed: The tree no longer expands to show when devices come and go.
10. Changed: Removed the +6 dB shift we were applying to HDCD decoding.

26.0.66 (4/21/2020)
1.
NEW: First cut at TV support. Requires a DLNA capable tuner device (i.e. HDHomeRun Prime). Not supported on ARM yet.
2. Fixed: Fixed a crash reported from when we checked a file to see if it was a Radio Paradise file.
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.34 (makes JRiver changes from the previous build part of Monkey's Audio).
4. Changed: The "More Play Options" Theater View roller item will now contain "Play All" when selecting a single file.
5. Changed: A message is shown when APE files that are too old are encountered with the URL of the conversion tool.
6. Fixed: ListShuffle(...) didn't trim the whitespace when building a list so the new list could sometimes have spaces around the semi-colon.
7. Changed: More work on radio stations that don't play.
8. Changed: Added whitespace trimming to all the list expression functions.
9. Changed: MC as a renderer wasn't providing all of the important metadata when asked by a DLNA controller and that includes another instance of MC not actively controlling (duration, channels, sample rate, size, various artworks). This will also help with third party DLNA controllers showing metadata.
10. Fixed: Wasn't looking at the new name of the ListMix(...) function so escapement wasn't working.
11. Changed: Renamed the Transform(...) function to ListMix(...).
12. Fixed: The variables L1, L2, etc. in Transform(...) wouldn't necessarily be replaced up to the number of lists.
13. Changed: Some more work on the Tranform(...) function to make it better find the right comma (if there are functions) and unescape commas with slashes.
14. Changed: The GroupSummaryQuery function accepts a parameter just like GroupSummary to turn off labeling.
15. NEW: Added a Transform(...) expression function (see this thread for details:
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,124543.0.html)
16. NEW: Added a mode to the Find(...) expression function "2" to reverse find instead of forward find in the string.
17. Changed: When we fail to load a MIME type from a stream, we switch to the iTunes user agent and try again (makes several streams start working).
18. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
19. NEW: Added BM8 to the playlist import format list (a Winamp playlist).
20. NEW: Chapters are shown on the OSD when seeking to a chapter in a video.
21. Fixed: HDCD processing would not be applied when converting formats.
22. Changed: Made only composer images trim the year from the name of the cover art.
23. NEW: Added the expression function GroupSummaryQuery to build a summary for files matching the given fields.
24. Changed: No longer set the user agent to NSPlayer when requesting a mime type for a file but instead the JRiver user agent.
25. Changed: The in and out sample rates are formatted for display instead of just returned as a raw number.
26.0.56 (4/11/2020)
1. Fixed: Serving files through DLNA could crash.
26.0.55 (4/10/2020)
1. Changed: Only 16-bit files are checked for HDCD.
2. Changed: Updated the YouTube API key (should make Theater View work again).
3. Fixed: The Save this view dialog would not build the new filename from the view name.
4. Fixed: Equalizer settings could get overwritten when a DSP object was unloaded, so if you had multiple objects, settings could flip-flop.
5. Changed: The program no longer makes sure the file exists when getting cover art as a field summary (could be slow on some systems).
6. NEW: DLNA zones show audio path information during playback when transcoding.
7. Changed: Closing the program in mini view will just close instead of return to standard view.
8. NEW: Added the variables [In Sample Rate] and [Out Sample Rate] to get the sample rates during playback.
9. Fixed: Expressions to display did not work properly.
10. Changed: Removed CD Baby because it was no longer working.
11. NEW: Added the relational type of one per genre to library fields.
12. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.28.
13. NEW: Added Download From Library Server to the file right-click menu (if connected).
14. Changed: Files from a playlist import now are imported into the main database (instead of only the playlist database).
15. NEW: Added the right-click play command "Play From Here" to start playback at a list location and proceed until the end.
16. Changed: Smartlists load linked tracks.1. Changed: When importing an M3U, we count the artists and names and switch them if there are more artists because iTunes does not follow the specification.1. Fixed: The ownership of the display could still become invalid in certain cases.
17. Fixed: Starting in Playing Now would still steal the display away from Display View if you started windowed.
18. Fixed: Seeking with the MCWS function Playback/Position would not work properly with remote zones.
19. Fixed: Jumping to Playing Now no longer triggers if the program is already in Display View (so the display ownership stays correct).
20. NEW: Added the expression function Letter(...) to output the starting letters of a string.
21. Fixed: Stopping after the next track advanced two tracks instead of one in build 42.
22. Changed: Removed the option to advance after stopping after a track (now always advances).
23. Fixed: Lyrics drawing wouldn't work well if the lyrics only had a \n for a newline.
24. Changed: Lyrics drawing lets longer lines stay together.
25. NEW: Lyrics drawing can break the lyrics into pages (right-click > Pages on the lyrics display).
26. Changed: Picking Options > General > Remove files from Playing Now after they are played would not work nicely with the Stop After Next command.
27. Changed: Made picking the option Stop After Playing Track advance to the next track on stop.
28. NEW: Added the expression function TrimLines(...) to standardize and consolidate newlines.
29. Changed: "Tree & View > Advanced > Display missing file image in lists" will now be used in the thread that checks file existence (to avoid shutdown lags, etc.).
30. Fixed: The latitude and longitude would not be read in full resolution from some images.
31. Changed: Reporter shows the audio analyzed and video analyzed on separate lines.
32: Fixed: Dependencies for Python to allow installation on Ubuntu 20 and others.

35. Fixed: Wavpack could not play files over 2GB properly.
36. Fixed: Another fix to the statusbar rule option naming (should allow customize now).
37. Changed: Updated Italian translation (thanks matteo e massimo).
38. Fixed: Some MP4 files could cause MC to crash.
