15.0.48 (5/20/2010)

1. Optimized: When changing the volume of a server zone while connected as a Library Server Client (TRemote), the response is faster.
2. Optimized: Improved performance of communicating with a Library Server from a client.
3. Optimized: Better performance of core server engine that powers Library Server, DLNA, WebPlay, etc.
4. Changed: When closing the program with a zone that's no longer available selected, the program will revert to the first zone instead of the last zone on restart.
5. Changed: Quicktime file types (mov and qt) will be played using DirectShow if Playback Method for these file types is set to "Automatic" AND Quicktime has not been installed.
6. Fixed: The Theater View online media slideshow could show a slideshow for the previously played file instead of the currently playing file.
7. Fixed: The Send To mode 'Add (shuffle remaining)' did not work logically when playback was stopped.
8. Changed: The Tag Action Window's vertical scroll position is preserved when zooming in on a list-type field like Keywords, and then returning.
9. Fixed: Editing the last field in the Tag Action Window would not automatically move the scrollbar down to ensure the edit control was visible.

15.0.47 (5/19/2010)

1. Changed: Updated DCRaw to latest, including patch for Canon T2i / 550D support.
2. Changed: Added a the most common raw image types to the default list of types acquired with the 'Camera' Action Window.
3. Changed: The default ripping mode is now 'Secure' (can be changed in Options > CD & DVD)
4. Changed: The default ripping encoder is 'Monkey's Audio (APE)' instead of 'Windows Media'.  [Thanks, Matt!]
5. Fixed: Formatting text in a note could result in mismatched tag pairs in the HTML, causing the note to be discarded.
6. Changed: When embedding artwork in WMA tags, the image is flagged as 'Front album cover' instead of 'Other'.
7. Fixed: Viewing 'Notes' could create extra root library views that would appear in the navigation menu when the tree was hidden. (must visit 'Notes' one time for cleanup to occur)
8. Fixed: The Flickr upload dialog could overflow with some font sizes.
9. Changed: List-type fields with a user-specified list of acceptable values did not allow setting multiple values to a single file.
10. Changed: When syncing changes from a client back to a Library Server, the server will update the tags for any changed files.
11. Fixed: When changing a rating in the Tag Action Window, the other fields could go away until a size / scroll.
12. Fixed: If a star rating was clicked while editing a field in the Tag Action Window, the changes to the in-place edit would be discarded.
13. Fixed: Using WASAPI exclusive output with certain DACs to play HDTV or other video could cause a crash when starting playback.
14. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar & Daniel2k).

15.0.46 (5/18/2010)

1. Fixed: DLNA streaming with MP3 conversion enabled was not working properly.
2. Changed: Moved 'Library Server Client' options to 'Network' options page.
3. Fixed: Possible sporadic crashes (only applies to last few builds).
4. NEW: Video subtitle option "Show subtitle only if selected subtitle language is different from audio language".

15.0.45 (5/17/2010)

1. Changed: Improved threading, messaging, and cancelling for 'Lookup Movie Info From Wikipedia...' tool.
2. Changed: Enabled up / down keyboard navigation to switch images when zoomed in on an image in 'Image Preview' mode.
3. Fixed: Auto-complete was not working properly for non-list fields that used semi-colon delimitation in their values.
4. Fixed: In a network with a lot of DLNA devices and Library Server connections, zones could get reflected multiple times (i.e. zone with a name There: Jim: There: Jim: Speakers)
5. Optimized: Improved performance when connected to a Library Server.
6. Optimized: DLNA and Library Server zones that are not active are no longer queried across the network to keep their playback state fresh. (could have third-party SDK implications if plugins are trying to display status of non-active remote zones)
7. Optimized: Improved performance of loading images from a server.
8. Fixed: MP3 files purchased from the Performer Store could fail to play over Library Server.

15.0.44 (5/14/2010)

1. Fixed: Quick Find of cover art would not always work properly.
2. Changed: Revised how a Library Server client specifies audio conversion in Options > Libraries & Folders. (uses new encoder profiles that builds on more sophisticated conversion engine of v15)
3. NEW: When controlling DLNA devices, playback will advance between tracks even if the device is not sending subscription events properly.

15.0.43 (5/14/2010)

1. Fixed: List style tagging in the Action Window was not working (only applies to build 42).
2. Fixed: When in a library view, the locate commands would not work.
3. Fixed: Using UNC paths for the handheld conversion cache did not work nicely.
4. Changed: Improved compatibility with Kernel Streaming 24-bit audio to Bel-Canto and other similar DACs.
5. Changed: Disabled 32-bit floating point output support for Kernel Streaming -- most (all?) cards claim to support it, and then treat the data as 32-bit integers so the sound is heavily distorted.

15.0.42 (5/13/2010)

1. Fixed: DLNA server wasn't reporting resolution for images when converting/shrinking.
2. Fixed: DVD video discs would not get recognized under certain conditions.
3. Optimized: Many improvements to help performance when dealing with list type fields like Keywords, Actors, etc.
4. Optimized: The Tag Action Window for list type fields is several orders or magnitude faster.
5. Changed: Reverted launcher back to Windows program as console program caused issues for some users.
6. Changed: Import system will still import zero-byte .txt, .log, and .dat files; other types of zero byte files are still ignored.
7. Internal: Auto-import will remove files with no filename that are in the 'previously removed' database location. (cleanup for possible bug from years past)
8. NEW: Add support for different conversion sizes for images in the DLNA server options.
9. Fixed: Web Media view header buttons could cause a crash.

15.0.41 (5/12/2010)

1. Changed: Added command MCC_QUERY_UI_MODE (32000) to allow querying the user interface mode of the program from a batch file.
2. Changed: MC15.exe is a console application so it's easier to use in batch files or with other scripting.
3. Changed: MC15.exe /MCC will exit the process with the result of the call. (so in a batch file, %ERRORLEVEL% will be the result after a call)
4. Fixed: MP3 encoding was always using a default configuration of VBR 160kpbs (last several builds only).
5. Internal: Consolidated file naming used by YouTube! Podcasts so they match WebMedia file naming. (i.e. webmedia://youtube/[id] instead of youtube://[id])
6. Fixed: Streaming FLV files could fail to play in some cases.
7. Changed: The import system will ignore zero byte files.
8. NEW: Added 'Collapse All' choice to the right-click menu for a pane. (only shows for list style fields that support nesting)
9. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks to Bytestar and Daniel_2k).
10. Optimized: Numerous improvements to help performance with list-style fields, especially when there are huge numbers of values used. (ie. a database with 50,000 actors, etc.)

15.0.40 (5/11/2010)

1. Fixed: When decoding non 16-bit audio data, up to 0.006 seconds of silence could be unnecessarily appended to the end.
2. Fixed: ASIO playback for 32-bit integer style cards had a possible overflow (only applies to last few builds).
3. Changed: Stock smartlists will dynamically change names with language changes (stock smartlists will be updated / recreated as a result)
4. Fixed: At the file list level with WebPlay, the last item in the list would not be shown.
5. Fixed: When a ripped DVD and the associated cover art was on a drive that was temporarily removed, Media Center could disassociate with the broken cover art link. (it should only disassociate with a broken cover art link if the media file is available and the art is not available)
6. Fixed: Pressing Ctrl+F in an image or video library view could switch to Audio. (remember that Ctrl+E will focus the search box in any view)
7. Fixed: CUE parser was not properly loading the playback range of the last track.
8. NEW: Added ASIO option for channel swapping C/LFE with SL/SR during surround sound playback. (needed with Creative and possibly other cards)
9. Fixed: MC could crash in JRiver audio engine (using DirectShow filters) when it failed to load an output plug-in (such as ASIO) in a worker thread.
10. Changed: Updated splash screen no longer says 'beta'.

6. Fixed: The Theater View online media slideshow could show a slideshow for the previously played file instead of the currently playing file.

...except now the problem's been transferred to the track info, which appears to be doing exactly the same thing...

7. Fixed: The Send To mode 'Add (shuffle remaining)' did not work logically when playback was stopped.

although imho the 'current' track should not be shuffled?

10. Changed: When syncing changes from a client back to a Library Server, the server will update the tags for any changed files.

thanks!

[phalanthus]

this would be the most stable so far
great work

thanks

Should ctrl+f search from the root of the category (e.g. Audio)?
I see no difference between ctrl+f and ctrl+e now. They both search only from the selected sub view.

Slideshow duration still doesn't changes from 0:05 in option

Cover Art

I am experiencing somthing unusual.  When I play a song in 15.048 Ilose the cover art when I click on another song.  It doesn't happen to all songs.  After I do a quick find it attaches the cover art and whn I click on the same songs the cover stays.  I am using flac files.

Date

I still do not have the date field populated from the tags.  Works great in 12.  I have verified that the Date is in the tags with a tag editor.  I try "update from tags" and still nothing. 

Thanks for the great work.

Here are details of a display bug with the sync
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=57849.0

[jack wallstreet]

With .48 and all earlier versions of 15 that I have used (30 something on), I occasionally "lose" one of my split views.  This seems to happen on opening MC15 (the split view isn't there)

Situation

1. MC is set in "View" to 2 split views.  I have the two views up ALL the time, side by side usually about equal size.
2. When I open MC (very rarely is there a problem), sometimes only the left view (#1) shows
3. In the menu, mc still shows a checkbox beside "show 2 views"
4. If I click on "show 1 view" and then immediately on "show 2 views", the 2nd view pops back and everything is fine for a number of days.

If I start TV on one channel then switch to another channel then start recording, the recording starts from the beginning of the viewing session not from the beginning of the second channel, so I get 5 minutes of the first channel then the second channel recording...

Happened in 46 and is still happening in 48.

If you record by programming guide, MC tries to start recording according to program time.  That could explain what you see.

[imugli]

Hi Yaobing,

That might explain it if I was watching / recording the same channel, eg

Turn on Channel 10.
Program 1 runs 5 minutes overtime.
Start recording program 2, also on Channel 10.
Recording gets last 5 minutes of program 1, based on EPG times (and possibly misses last 5 minutes of program 2 if it runs overtime)

But this is not the case, it is more like this...

Turn on Channel 9
Watch program 1 on channel 9 for 5 minutes
Turn to Channel 10
Watch program 2 on channel 10 for 5 minutes.
Using Up/Down/Right buttons, turn recording of program 2 on.
Resulting recording gets both the 5 minutes of program 1 from Channel 9 PLUS the recording of program 2 from Channel 10.

My understanding was that, in this situation, the recording would only be of the selected program (from the time that I started watching it), not the whole viewing session. Is this incorrect?

[Yaobing]

Turn on Channel 9
Watch program 1 on channel 9 for 5 minutes
Turn to Channel 10
Watch program 2 on channel 10 for 5 minutes.
Using Up/Down/Right buttons, turn recording of program 2 on.
Resulting recording gets both the 5 minutes of program 1 from Channel 9 PLUS the recording of program 2 from Channel 10.

What happens here is that during the same time-shifting session (when you played two channels) the data for both channels are kept.  When recording starts, it tries to go as far back as there is data.  Since you started watching the second channel a little late (later than the start time according to the guide), MC includes some of the first channel video.  It maybe debatable whether this approach is "correct".  In my opinion, this is not an issue that is of importance.

Here is what I perceive what happened:

at 11:00 you started channel 1
at 11:05 you switched to channel 2
at 11:10 you started recording channel 2
channel 2 program guide shows a start time of 11:00
so MC goes back to 11:00 for the start of recording - that therefore includes 5 minutes of channel 1.

If that is not what actually happened with your situation, then there maybe some issues.

My understanding was that, in this situation, the recording would only be of the selected program (from the time that I started watching it), not the whole viewing session. Is this incorrect?

It gets a little complicated to keep track of all the channels you have been surfing.  It is possible, but I do not think it is worth the effort.  You already lost the first 5 minutes of channel 2, of which you can not recover.  Having some "extra junk data" is just not that much of a problem.

[imugli]

Thanks Yaobing,

I agree. It's not a problem per se, just wasn't sure if it was the way it was supposed to be.

I'll check it over multiple epg times and see what happens.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Column line up in list detail view still reverts to it's own liking when reloaded from preset.
