"Tools\Options\File Location\Clean cover art folder" seems to be broken.  I think it was ok in 31.0.80.

Cleaning causes a subset of cover art files to be deleted that should not be deleted. If I resave via "Save Cover Art to External Location Specified in Options" the image files are properly saved. Then if I re-run Clean they are deleted again.

All are jpgs. I do not see any common pattern in the file names. They look random to my eyes.

166 out of 16,118 cover art files are being deleted.

Cleaning multiple times does not add to the 166 deleted files so the problem appears to be repeatable and specific to the 166 files.

I have attached one of the 166 files.

I downgraded back to 31.0.80 and thumbnails now display

Would you like me to install and test prior versions to determine when Clean cover art folder broke?

Split Audio Playback Stutters

[Fangio]

Loading OTA DVB-T EPG fails to complete. 31.0.80 works fine.

Loading OTA DVB-T EPG fails to complete. 31.0.80 works fine.

Does it get some data or no data at all?  What are the symptoms?

I have been having random program crashes (Windows 11 x64) and nasty audio playback seizures with 31.0.78, 31.0.80 and 31.0.84 - so I reverted back to 30.0.96 and all is stable again.

A channel re-scan seems to have fixed this, but for information, I noticed that the date of the last EPG refresh was four days ago, despite it being set to refresh every 8 hours. I started a manual EPG load and got the “Loading program guide… (may take several minutes) (n of 114 completed)” message. The scan took the usual 15 minutes or so to complete, but the date and time of the last refresh remained unchanged. No new EPG data was collected. I do have a log if required.

Thanks for the log.  I did find clue to the problem from the log, and the fact that channel-rescanning helped.

Pleased I could help. Shout if you need anything testing on a UK DVB-T / T2 setup.

Hello there,
I found that errors reported when some ISO Audio files were played, while some other ISO Audio files could be played perfectly. Firstly I considerd that these files were broken, but they were confirmed undamaged soon, for no errors occured when they were playd as common on the old version of JR29. And What's more weird is that the first audio track of these ISOs can be played intactly, while none of the other tracks can be played.

The fix is out, in build 87.

Since I was able to reproduce the issue with my ATSC setup, and I tested it here, so I am sure the fix would work for you too.  Since you already rescanned your channels, which fixed the issue for you, you would not be able to confirm how well this fix works for you, unless you are will to roll-back your library to pre-rescanning time, to restore your old set of channels.
