20.0.40 (11/21/2014)

1. Fixed: DLNA: MC as renderer, when receiving a SetNextAVtransportURI, MC was allowing the playlist to grow beyond 2 items which is incorrect. This caused playlist sync issues.
2. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, fix bug in event send when changing playlist position 1.
3. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller timing issue, make sure the first track is playing (for at least 5 seconds) before doing the SetNextAVTransportURI function.
4. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, when playlist position current +1 changes send a new SetNextAVTransportURI to devices that support it.
5. Fixed: The change from 20.0.31 (Back out library server hiding when the library is empty introduced in 19.0.71) missed the library server visibility (it was showing the DLNA servers).

20.0.39 (11/18/2014)

1. Fixed: Search box in upper right was broken in build 38.  Also tag editing wasn't working right and would sometimes crash.
2. NEW: Added support for APE audio format encoding.

20.0.38 (11/17/2014)

1. Fixed: 'Select font...' dialog in Options / View & Tree was crashing on Yosemite.
2. Changed: Default music path template on handheld devices changed from [Artist]/[Album] to [Album Artist (auto)]/[Album].
3. Fixed: Full-Screen video playback is actually fullscreen and hides the menu and dock.
4. NEW: Support for Shorten and Opus audio playback using the new JR playback engine (using FFmpeg).
5. Fixed: Recent builds were crashing on 10.6.8 systems due to some OpenGL video functions that didn't exist on 10.6.8.  Now the crash is gone and video is only supported on 10.7 and up.
6. Fixed: While Options dialog was shown, if another app was activated the Options dialog would still show on top.
7. Fixed: While Options dialog was shown, if DSP Studio was selected it showed under the options dialog.

20.0.29 (10/30/2014)

1. Fixed: Video playback uses full resolution rendering on Retina screens for improved quality.
2. Fixed: Crashes when importing videos.
3. Fixed: Showing video in display view was crashing.
4. Fixed: CUE file parsing updated to better handle link filenames.

20.0.28 (10/29/2014)

1. NEW: Video playback support!  It's brand new on Mac so there may be some issues.  Please test and report, thanks.
2. Fixed: Drop box not working in Add Library View / View As, also the drop box for Bitstreaming choices was not working.
3. Fixed: File name paths containing single quotes were failing to move/copy.
4. Fixed: Possible fix for text entry of Asian characters.  Please test and let us know.
5. Fixed: App is now signed to comply with latest Yosemite requirements.
6. Fixed: Some handheld syncs would fail due to very long filenames.
7. Fixed: AIFF files that have a tag that's one byte longer than the metadata will still import (previously we would fail to read the tags).

20.0.24 (10/18/2014)

1. Fixed: An inserted CD was not reliably being found by Media Center.
2. Fixed: The options dialog disappears and the app appears frozen if the user clicks on Media Center outside the dialog window.
3. Fixed: Web page links that wanted to open a new window were being ignored, now they open in an external browser.
4. Fixed: Backspace and tab keys weren't working right within web pages.
5. Fixed: Problems with developer certificate caused installation issues on some systems.
6. Fixed: Files not added to the sync queue when dragged onto the icon in the action Window.

20.0.14 (9/9/2014)

1. NEW: Audio CD ripping and playback.
2. NEW: Added "Add (artist)" to the playback commands so a full artist can be added to Playing Now.
3. NEW: Added Cover Art Scale to the Display View menu with an option to show the cover at 100%.
4. NEW: Added 'Date First Rated' field.
5. NEW: Added M3U8 as a playlist format for a handheld.
6. NEW: Added a volume command 'Enable volume when bitstreaming' to force the volume slider to stay active even if it's bitstreaming.
7. NEW: Added ListEqual(...) expression function to compare two lists (regardless of ordering).
8. NEW: Added Play > Add (album) to add full albums to Playing Now.
9. NEW: Description is shown in the tooltip if it's not empty.

14. Changed: English vs Metric can be selected in the language menu.
15. Changed: Selected values are at the top of the drop list in the Smartlist editor.
16. Changed: MC sets Bit Depth and Sample Rate for SACD files on import.
17. Fixed: Reporter "Audio Analyzed" always reported 100%.
18. Changed: Audio Analysis of files with only silence will mark the files as "No Audio" instead of trying to boost the volume by an extreme value.
19. Fixed: Crashing when dragging tracks to playlists, handhelds, etc.
20. Fixed: Tracks could not be dragged onto the handheld action window's "drop here" icon area.

Excellent, thank you.......20.0.40 is working...no glitches as yet....ie. at least I can actually use it without it crashing the whole laptop after 30 seconds (I've been using 19 until this update)

[Afrosheen]

Mine keeps crashing upon start.

os x 10.10.1

screen flashes since 20.0.24
cmd-Q doesn't work since 20.0.24 (nor does Alt+F4 for Exit)

but 20.0.40 is the best usable version since 20.0.24


great app!
kissed itunes good-bye for good and i'm looking forward to upcoming improvements of MC!

24/96 FLACs are playing at half-speed/half-pitch when playing from a Windows server. Timing is right in metadata but a second takes two seconds to play.

Questionably sounds better than prior version but my ifi micro DSD seems to pause/dropout occ on this version..that has never happened before on previous versions. I upsample everything to DSD from Mac mini with 16gb RAM running Yosemite. Files stored on LaCie 3TB Thunderbolt external drive. Thoughts?
Thanks
Doug

The counter is not correct: it says 3,6 TB, but I have >8 TB

I was able to get this to work after deleting and reinstalling the app, but now the server/MC freezes after an hour or two and I have to either wait till I get home or remotely connect to force quit the app and then reopen.

Same happens to me: after 1 hour or so, music stops and I have to force quit

Love this software! Love the sound, usability, library switching, customisation, etc etc. Really pleased you've got video up and running. Am playing with it trying different ways of importing and structuring before I move over lock stock & barrel from OSX 10.9.5 + iTunes.

Meanwhile heres a small bug:
*) Importing a playlist that contains videos (all kinds) files the videos under Audio rather than Video.

Some notes:
= Importing files (audio or video) as a playlist also imports more tags eg: Rating and Description (a good thing)
= Importing files (audio or video) through Auto-import or single folder import only brings in a limited set of tags, and in particular not Ratings or Description.
= My goal is to import all the various fields, tags and playlists I've used to organise my large-ish library. I may have some misunderstanding about import settings, though I  have tried lots of variations with no success. If not, I shall hope it's on your development path.

Thanks for all the hard work!

I just got the 20.0.40 as an automatic update. Webgizmo is not working anymore, and I can´t make it work...
Thx for any comments and help !

- Sorting by Album Artist (auto) appears to no longer work (as Mac client connected to Win server)
- The screen still occasionally glitches out and shows part of the Now Playing window over the browse panes
- Similarly, if you have the album art showing in the Action Window and you cmd+2 to go to mini and back, occasionally you get artifacts: the album art may be randomly floating somewhere on the screen, perhaps not even inside MC's window

Several bugs...

1) CMD-Q does not work
2) If I select a file and then hit the delete key, the active panel in MC goes completely blank. Nothing is actually erased. I have to go to file -> delete for it to actually get deleted.
3) Today had the problem of a shadow instance of MC starting while playing music. A new MC icon appears in the dock next to the already running instance but never stops bouncing. I have to force quit both instances.

I'm using the 5K iMac and OS 10.10.1

When I see mine freeze, this "dual bouncing MC" would also happen to my machine.  I do not know why…
