1. Fixed: Subclarity could cause a thump to be output on initial startup of playback.
2. Changed: Renamed "Internal Volume (audio only)" to "Internal Volume" since it works with videos when doing analog output.

14.0.125 (01/13/2010)

1. NEW: DLNA can expose zones as DLNA Renderers so that remote controls and other DLNA devices can control Media Center. (Options > DLNA > Renderer) (still under development)
2. Optimized: DLNA device discovery is better threaded and performs fewer network hits per found device.
3. Changed: When playing with Tremote or DLNA control, the position slider will move more smoothly.
4. Fixed: Some codecs (flac for example) were reported as "Unknown Media Type" in Compression field (build 124 only).

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.

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)

This version has some improvements on DLNA with my Panasonic Viera connected i.e. browsing the files works flawlessly. However I still can not play the movies, while Twonky Media Server can do. Also there is no possibility to browse the file system.

Thanks for these quick improvements. Waiting for more to come.

Edit: I just found out how to add browsing for files to the "menu" on the TV client. So this also works. I can view the images on my TV now and waiting for the videos to work. By the way: could I get the NEF files to display on the TV screen?

Good news.  Did you set conversion options for Video?

Yes, I did.

Hi,
The bug about policy size is still here.
And the smartlist have disappear (or maybe i have made something wrong?)
thanks for this update.

[JimH]

I split some posts on ASIO to a new thread.

I split some posts on ASIO to a new thread.

Thanks for your direction Jim, but I'd still like to point out that in the DSP Studio/Output Format, the link is so long that everything below the Add Plugin's link is hidden. There is no access to Bitdepth and everything below and there's no scrolling bar available to access that information. Maybe that page could either be shortened or a scrolling bar added to the side so there's a way to get to it?

Thanks again for the ASIO resolution.

Maybe you're using large fonts?

Here's what it should look like:

[satfrat]

Yep, it was the font size all right. I went and looked it it and it was up on 15. I brought it back down to 12 and everything there again in the DSP. All the strange happenings have finally been put to bed.

1. FLAC .cue show up with 2 iterations of an album. All tracks are listed twice:

J:\Transients\Muddy Waters - Fathers and Sons (1969) [flac] {Speakers Corner 180g, 24-96}\A1 - All Aboard.flac
J:\Transients\Muddy Waters - Fathers and Sons (1969) [flac] {Speakers Corner 180g, 24-96}\A1 - All Aboard.flac;1

2. On some albums, all tracks are listed correctly, but in two seperate iterations as above, and in one group, each unique song plays the same track, track 1.
