2. Fixed: Pasting text with leading newlines into an edit control that isn't multiline will work better.

3. Changed: Improved the categories shown in Theater View > YouTube.
4. Changed: Manually adjusting the volume while the volume is muted will unmute the volume.
5. [b]NEW: The command line allows making MCWS web service calls[/b]: MC18.exe "/MCWS/v1/Playback/Pause?State=-1" (does not require Media Network to be running or a server to be listening).

2. Changed: A couple of small tweaks to audio encoding for video conversion.
3. Fixed: On some systems with multiple optical drives, [b]CD ripping[/b] would not work because MC would see the drives as duplicates.

18.0.150 (3/14/2013)

1. NEW: [b]Ceton[/b] television devices can be disabled or enabled individually so users can avoid conflicts when using them on different machines.
2. Faster: Improved performance of Media Network device discovery (more reliable detection, fewer resources needed).
3. Fixed: HD television channels played poorly on Ceton devices that were installed as network devices.
4. Fixed: A few bugs relating to CD ripping with multiple drives.

18.0.149 (3/13/2013)

1. Fixed: The program did not properly handle relative paths that started with a backslash (which means starting on the current drive).
2. [b]Faster[/b]: The core 24-bit PCM to 64-bit (internal format) conversion is about 4x faster.

3. Fixed: Clicking tab text did not work in build 145.
4. NEW: [b]Ceton InfiniTV 4 CableCARD television device support[/b].  It is still unfinished.  For example, live channel switching does not work.  You have to Stop one channel before starting another.
5. Fixed: Scan for television channels did not work in the last few builds.
6. Fixed: Configure button on Television Options window did not work.

3. Fixed: Manually switching tracks was not updating the playing file as quickly as expected for the last few builds.
4. Fixed: The Action Window navigation list was not using the proper background color with some skins.
5. Fixed: When linking a zone to another zone that was already playing, not all playback settings would by synchronized to the playing zone so they might change tracks at different points.
6. Fixed: Linked zones could account for drift in a slightly incorrect way across track transitions, causing an unnecessary resync (sounds like a pause and resume).

18.0.144 (3/6/2013)

1. NEW: DLNA audio conversion when using Convert Always, added more sample rates to convert to.
2. Fixed: Skins that used glass were not working nicely with webpage and other views that needed to disable glass.
3. Fixed: Some WMV video files would not play (Red October now handles Windows Media screen and voice codecs automatically).
4. Fixed: Showing a right-click menu could leave the focus in an undefined state.
5. Fixed: Drag-n-drop could leave the mouse "captured" by the source window so some mouse actions wouldn't work properly.

18.0.143 (3/1/2013)

1. Fixed: The Move,copy,rename dialog was broken in the previous two builds.

18.0.142 (2/28/2013)

1. Fixed: Playing Now Overview was not working nicely.

1. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).
2. Fixed: Input plugins were not getting properly installed on a fresh install, causing possible import or playback problems.
3. NEW: Added WASAPI Event Style option "Play a little silence on DoP stop (removes click with some DACs)".
4. Fixed: Television could crash with the last few builds in certain cases.
5. Changed: More work on keyboard focus system (shortcuts were not working in some cases, etc.).
6. Changed: MC18.exe /MCC allows a space after the comma (ie. "MC18.exe /MCC 10011, -1").
7. Fixed: Auto-complete path suggestions shown in a filename editor could output an extra backslash.
8. Fixed: Pressing tab to select an edit control suggestion could incorrectly shift the focus to the next control on the dialog.

18.0.140 (2/25/2013)

1. Fixed: Broken mp4 autofps transcoding.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
3. Fixed: Keyboard shorcuts were not always working in some cases depending on the input focus.
4. Fixed: When closing a modal dialog, the input focus would not be restored to the control it was on before the dialog.
5. Fixed: Playing Now would not auto-size columns properly when loading when the auto-size option was enabled.
6. Fixed: Detached display visibility was following the parent window, so switching tabs would unexpectedly hide the detached display.
7. Faster: Returning from full screen image playback is faster.
8. Changed: DLNA: Only provide upnp:albumArtist (Twonky specific field) for devices that specifically request it. This will mostly affect display on renderers when MC is the controller. Some devices accept this field but it interferes with the standard items like {upnp:artist role=AlbumArtist}
9. Fixed: Starting bookmarked audio playback from a stopped state would put the position slider at zero instead of the bookmark position.

18.0.139

Experimental testing build not released to the public.

18.0.138 (2/22/2013)

1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
2. NEW: Handhelds get expanded video conversion profiles.
3. NEW: Added autofps mpeg4 conversions.
4. Fixed: Small typo in naming of Audio Calibration clips (Tools > Advanced Tools > Audio Calibration...).
5. Fixed: A file encoded to DSD (DSF format) using the JRiver encoder would show as 1/8 the length in Foobar.
6. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

Since some builds there is a bug with the progress bar, when jumping to a certain position with the MJPlaybackAutomation object (property Position):

When I set e.g. 60 seconds as position, then the track begins to play at this position, the progress bar shows the right position for about 1 sec, but then resets to zero and fills from the beginning. The song continues to play correctly, so the progress bar and the actual position of playback are out of sync.

If you beat me to give you a rough estimation for since when the problem is there, I would guess around 143.

[chrisjj]

I'm guessing this is a bug. Over build .106, I installed .158, whereupon the next launch automatically fired a library import that imported 14 unwanted files from C:\Users\Public\.

This is made particularly odd by the fact that auto-import is not selected in the Media Import dialog.

Fixup: ID unwanted files by Date Imported, and delete from library...
Workaround: disable future auto-imports... how, please??

This on Win 7 Pro 64-bit.

[HTPC4ME]

just got a notice for STABLE update of 158. i updated all pc's in the house, and windows server 2008 (where the whole house library is located) is locked up, have done task manager multiple times, rebooted, upon restarting jriver everytime anywhere i click i get hour glass that never goes away, if i click twice, then i get not responding error... suggestions? or should i roll back?

[HTPC4ME]

got her fixed. no clue what happened.. but killed her, restarted, waited 5 minutes, then clicked on import, waited minutes, then auto import, and it immediatelly started importing. i didnt click anywhere during importing, after auto import she's been going good.
Thinking maybe last import right before update, may have corrupted it/not completed in it's entirety?
dunno, but back in the game.

Guys - are existing users since V14 going to always have to pay for upgrades?  Cheers.

It's least expensive when we introduce it, but yes, we charge for it.  It takes a lot of time.

Hi.

I posted some questions and comments related to MC18 video streaming in the media network section.

I'm not sure if you guys over here are in sync with Bob.

Basically I don't get HD (as m2ts mpeg2) material streamed to the TV.

At best MPEG2/DVD quality is working.

The mpeg2 ts modes do start playback but deliver a TV screen with numerous  moving squares (size of squares increases the lower the bandwidth).

I'd appreciate any hint what to do about it? Is there a limitation with MC18? Is there something in the pipe? Are you aware of the issue? (It exists for quite some time)

Since MC18 seems to be delivered officially now, I'd really appreciate at least some documentation about video streaming and related options.

I'm running rev  .158.

Suddenly my media-network doesnt work since no clients can access my mediaserver, i even resetted my acess key for the first time on the server and now when i try to make a new one it says: Library server could not be registered with JRiver bla bla. I have rebooted servers and clients. I checked my firewall and all connections and ports still are open. Is the JRiver server down or what todo next?

[Fred1]

I have exactly the same problem with MC for Mac.
Could it be that a server on JRiver's side is down?

[drmimosa]

First, a Happy Easter to everyone on Interact!

And on the topic of resurrections, Media Network is down, both local and remote. Test connection to server gets message Library Server could not be registered with JRiver. Win 7, tested build 154 and 158. Firewall and router had a working configuration as of yesterday, nothing I know of changed.

Let me know if I can help test or provide info.

No rush, find the real easter eggs first.

[Fred1]

Why must the local Media Network have a connection to the internet?

[Peter_RN]

Upgrade from 106 – 158

Expand the ‘File’ menu in the tree shows folder structure, expand any/all artist folders shows albums within, clicking any album now expands to show an additional folder named ‘wav’. Clicking the ‘wav’ folder just changes the folder name at top of play window, this is happening for every folder in the library.

Thanks
Peter

Hi,

I had the same problem with the "Library server cannot be registered with JRiver". But I also had had the other two problems and I falsely decided that my a new problem concerned with them.
So my solution:

0. I backuped all dsp settings, plugins and auto-import settings from j river.

1. I removed J River and re-installed it. But it didn't help.
1.1. I re-installed video, audio and network drivers. The same effect.
2. I removed it again and also removed a user profile from which it started (not as a service, just as media server link in the autorun). Steps:
  2.1. At first I had created a new user with administrative rights. And re-logon with it. May be it will be better if you reboot your system and logon with a new created user profile.
  2.2. Then I deleted the old j river user from MS GUI: Start -> Controll Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Parameters Button (Users Profiles) -> remove user. Because this is the only one normal way for removing user from the registry.
  2.3. Then I deleted j river user's folder from user profile folder %HOMEDRIVE%\Users because the system couldn't remove all folders automatically.
3. Start -> Run... (Win + R) -> input regedt32 -> find "jriver" and "j river". Removed some registry branches.
4. Reboot and logon with the old cleaned j river user profile.
5. Installed the last J River build again. And voila it worked!

May be it can help someone.

[Baldy]

Seems server is up now again, great news thanks!

[Fred1]

Works again here, too - thanks!

[GaryWW]

Still a no go for me 

[badland]

If you still have the "Library server cannot be registered with JRiver" message you can follow http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?action=printpage;topic=62086.0 . Also I found a post of one guy who had the same problems. He resolved them by re-installing network drivers.

 I guess that you also can use google but this is my 2 cents Hope you can resolve you problem.

[drmimosa]

Working here, thanks!

[GaryWW]

I have not tried playing any SACD ISOs in the last few versions but there is a problem. I get an error when trying to play (see attachment) and if I drag and drop an SACD iso to Now Playing, only the first track is displayed.

[nieuweronde]

Hello i ran the latest update of JRiver i was already running  version18, after this update i'm not able to play from the smartlist ( imported this month) the system hangs after i click a song,

However after reboot i can choose this song from the audiomenu and then it plays fine, but then again when i choose it from smartlist it freezes the system again.


any ideas ?

[quickbluehorse]

After update to v158 yesterday, JRiver crashes occur - reproducable - after a few minutes of listening to music over the home network...

When playing from local library no crash occurs.

Windows shows app crash in ole32.dll
