14.0.121 (01/05/2010)

1. Fixed: Playing audio and images at the same time could crash.
2. Fixed: Viewing the television view when it spanned from one year to the next could result in not all programs being shown.
3. Changed: If DirectShow fails to analyze mts and m2ts files, MC will still import them as video.
4. Changed: Improved internal structure of server foundation for better socket management, faster shutdown, and improved stability.
5. Changed: DLNA Control must be enabled in Options > General > Advanced > Features > DLNA.  (UPnP server not affected by this setting)

14.0.120 (01/04/2010)

1. Fixed: Analog television audio rendering problem on some tuner devices when not in time-shifting mode.
2. Optimized: MC can better deal with occasional corrupt time-stamp data during playback of television time-shifting/recording files.
3. Fixed: UPnP server was passing the wrong file size for files > 2 gigs. Resulted in truncated playback on some UPnP renders.
4. Changed: UPnP server doesn't return resolution when asked unless it's non-zero.

14.0.119 (12/24/2009)

1. Changed: DirectShow DSP filter enumeration is moved to JRWorker and bad-behaving filters are black-listed, to avoid crashes caused by bad filters.
2. Internal: Reorganization of DLNA internals.

14.0.118 (12/23/2009)

1. Changed: When searching for controllable DLNA devices, devices appear as they're found instead of after the search completes.
2. Changed: When a zone is added or removed (i.e. DLNA device found) 'Playing Now' will be expanded in the tree to show the change.
3. Changed: Searching for DLNA devices happens periodically instead of only at startup.
4. Changed: When controlling a DLNA device, metadata is provided to the device for display during playback.

14.0.117 (12/22/2009)

1. NEW: DLNA devices will appear as zones and allow playing, stopping, and other remote control functionality with Media Center (requires DLNA device to support control interfaces; currently requires DLNA server running on port 2869)
2. Changed: Relaxed FLV Splitter downloading requirement, allowing the version installed with CCCP to be used.
3. Changed: UPnP server temporarily disable Container Art, was causing unnecessary network traffic with some devices if the container had no art.
4. Changed: UPnP server validate item art existence before passing it in Content Directories (see #3).

14.0.116 (12/21/2009)

1. Fixed: Audio tracks decoded using DirectShow filters, such as m4a, ac3, could not be burnt to audio CDs.
2. Changed: In video playback audio renderer list no longer includes WaveOut devices.
3. Fixed: Television could crash when MC tried to start scheduled recording (bug introduced in build 112).
4. Fixed: Since build 82 Record button in standard television view has been unavailable for a channel, if there were no EPG data associated with the channel.
5. Optimized: Improved XMLTV ID to television channel auto-matching algorithm.  The match rate is greatly improved. (ATSC only.)
6. Fixed: UPnP server, size passing in transcoding video content directory (resulted in playing stopping on some DLNA devices). Bug introduced in 14.0.114.
7. New: Separated images and video options in the UPnP server.

14.0.115 (12/16/2009)

1. Changed: "DirectShow video playback settings..." is renamed to "Video playback settings...".  The corresponding settings dialog window is revamped.
2. NEW: Added experimental (and sparse) DLNA control support to allow playing, pausing, etc. a DLNA device. ('Control' button on right of UPnP server view)

14.0.114 (12/15/2009)

1. Fixed: Cover art was not imported from MyMovies data file.
2. NEW: UPnP server, support multiple rendering devices. Can create customizable profiles. New options dialog. Need Feedback!
3. Fixed: UPnP server NOTIFY wasn't working properly.

14.0.113 (12/14/2009)

1. Fixed: Stop button could stop working during television playback. In build 112 only.
2. Added: UPnP server, supply image height and width if requested. Supply date information for all files if requested (for example, shows up under image properties on a PS3)
3. Changed: Removed existing UPnP multiple device support which depended on autodetecting the device via the user-agent header which was unreliable. Preparing the way for device profiles.

14.0.112 (12/11/2009)

1. Changed: When tagging note text that's already tagged, empty portions from the old tag are removed.
2. Changed: Any note tagged as a 'Google Contact' will sync to Google, allowing sync of non-contact items.
3. Fixed: The last.fm plugin Buddy system could crash.
4. Changed: Revised Google contact data parsing rules, particularly in regards to how notes and custom fields are handled.
5. Fixed: Pressing Stop button immediately after starting to play a digital television channel could lead to crash.
6. NEW: Smartlist editor supports 'contains' and 'does not contain' when working with keyword lists.
7. Fixed: Empty parenthesis on a function like Now() could cause problems when used in an expression search.

Streaming high bit rates is not working without buffering.

I have trouble-shot this all week and the network has the same bandwidth as the last month of this working properly.

If any recent changes could possibly be affecting this, please check it out; believe it or not, but streaming high resolution is a major selling point of MC. When tell people about this capability, jaws drop.

.121 at home and work.Tried 4 sound devices, buffers maxed, play from memory on/off. etc It seems cyclical, buffers every 30 seconds or so on 2000-3000 (24/96kHz) material. Last speed test I did was 110000kbps up.

I'm going to do a defrag when I get home but I was having problems doing this over the LAN at home which really leads me to believe there is a problem. Maybe I can roll back a few builds. Any other suggestions?

Trying to email audio files (MP3s) with this version I get an error message:-

"Sending of message failed. Unable to open the temprary file C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\moz_map\[filename]. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting."

Can you help sort this out for me please.

TIA. John.

BUG: When I use the tag [Movement/Subtitle] in a formula, the result is the string [MovementSubtitle] (without the slash) instead of the actual content of the tag.

Displaying images while playing audio is still not working correctly.

Now when i double click on a image while a song is playing, MC is displaying a black screen. If i exit full screen view i can see that it has switched to 'images' zone.
If i double click again on my image, it is displayed correctly.
The other problem of this behaviour is that it doesn't switch back to the original zone.

I use this post to talk again of the long time bug of the lastfm plugin in this configuration. Each time you display an image, the change of zone makes the plugin send a "played song".
So if you display 3 images while playing a song, lastfm will see that you ve listened to this song 4 times !! If you can fix that it would save me the trouble of cleaning lastfm each time

and when you are in the other zone, while watching images, mc does not send the files that are played in the 'audio' zone.

Sorting rules are not saved.

Add a new library view and take the "Recent Albums" suggestion. Click "Customize View" and edit the "Set rules for file display". There is no sorting stored. Event when I enter some modifiers, click on save and later re-open the dialog - it is empty again.

To be fair, I can't be certain this bug is in this version because I'm waiting for the next version before updating. Perhaps someone can test with .121?

If you select tag in the action in order to modify the very last viewable item in the list, the 'entry box' that shows up below the item (where you type your new tag) is off the screen, so you can't see what you are typing. (Perhaps this only applies when the tag is a string). Once you type blindly and hit enter, you can see what you typed because the info then appears to the right of the tag title.

I do have 121 and the list scrolls up in order to make place for the entry box ...

Completed further troubleshooting.

Defragged all drives (which were fin actually). Checked network, and still get pnly about 15 seconds before 2000-3000kbps streaming starts to buffer hard.

This used to work without a hitch on the same two networks.

Streaming high bit rates is not working without buffering.

Thanks for checking tombert.

1) The last.fm plug-in is cutting off the dash (-) at the end of song names. might also be cutting off other odd characters.
          Expample: a song titled "Killa -Sonata in Winter Saisho kara Imamade-" would be sent as "Killa -Sonata in Winter Saisho kara Imamade"

2) Can't sort by Disc # if there is an empty entry

3) Prevent MC from deleting the link between the CD database and the actual CD. Happens when the CD database is stacked with the main database. (I know keeping the "fix broken links" option on will fix this but I can't keep this turned on due to the fact that I break links on purpose sometimes (temporarily))

4) Moving a DVD folder using MC (Drives & Devices > My Computer) to a new location does not update the database

5) Change the disc # field to write to discnumber or both since it seems that discnumber is universally used by other programs

6) [REQUEST] have option to stack by disc # and track #

[CadErik]

This is the latest version of MC 14.  Please post bugs here.

Despite the recent socket changes, Library server clients are not tolerating well disconnections... After loosing network the clients always freeze.
