The latest build is up at:
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v22/latest/MediaCenter-22.0.48.deb (Also in the latest apt repository)

22.0.48 (12/16/2016)

1. Changed: More windowing tweaks.
2. Changed: The Audio Device Selection gives verbose device information about each device connected.
3. Changed: The Audio Device Selection no longer shows input devices.

22.0.47 (12/9/2016)

1. Changed: A few tweaks to the screen position and size fixes.

22.0.46 (12/5/2016)

1. FIXED: The main screen dragging and resizing is now smooth as butter. UI performance improved as well.
2. NEW: Beta Theater View build moved into latest repo.

22.0.45 (12/2/2016)

1. Fixed: Icons on 64 bit x86.
2. Fixed: Cursor hiding was inconsistent.
3. NEW: More OpenGL changes.

22.0.44 (11/28/2016)

1. NEW: Added the Theater View 3D views (Flow/Sheet/Wall)
2. NEW: Implemented a lot of the missing Theater View animations.
3. Changed: Performance improvements for Theater View.

22.0.40 (11/15/2016)

1. NEW: Theater View File Info images and rotation effects.

22.0.37-10 (10/31/2016)

1. Fixed: Many fixes to the OpenGL code for Theater View to fix white screening issues, etc
2. NEW: Multiple monitor support in linux. Need feedback! Fixes Theater View screen flashing, etc.

22.0.37 (10/28/2016)

1. NEW: First crack at Theater View. Requires OpenGL 3.2 and GLX 1.4.

22.0.36 (10/21/2016)

1. Fixed: A bug in MCWS track duration reporting caused by the change (21.0.31) which skips over the reading of a mp3 header if the file being played is over the network (but not a stream).
2. Fixed: Internet file playback, if the duration is obtainable from the playback engine instead from the database, use it.
3. Changed: Updated cURL to 7.50.3 to fix a rare internet reader crash.
4. Changed: i386 and arm: Move libraries that had been static into shared libs to help with portability.

22.0.30 (9/23/2016)

1. Fixed: A mp4 tagging bug introduced in 22.0.27 (not released on this platform).
2. Changed: Working on OSD. Removed flickering when in a window. Still needs work on full screen.

22.0.26 (9/16/2016)

1. Fixed: Linux Internet Reader: Seek issues and fix occasional segfaulting when remote zones die or go down unannounced.

22.0.23 (9/9/2016)

1. Fixed: Playing mp4 streams on linux would cause unnecessary re-requests of the file when the input plugin did seeking (very often). This resulted in stuttering playback and lots of unnecessary network traffic. These could be streams from library server, internet streams, streams played with MC as a renderer, etc.
2. Fixed: Linux arm: The internet reader could not do ssl on non-debian wheezy platforms because of changes in gnutls (this prevented licensing from within MC). Using our own libraries instead.

22.0.19 (8/18/2016)

1. NEW: Added three new skins: Modern Cards: Dark, Modern Cards: Grey, and Modern Cards: White.
2. Changed: DLNA. Relax test for DLNA rendering zone device alive status. Will help with buggy renderers.
3. Fixed: DLNA. Volume leveling was coming on by default if the material to be played was being converted. (from 22.0.17).

22.0.15 (8/5/2016)

Changes from the main build (see the windows changelog)

22.0.12 (7/26/2016)

1. NEW: Sox resampler added.
2. Changed: The window hinting changes from 21.0.90 added.

22.0.8 (7/15/2016)

1. NEW: Initial MC22 linux build.

had to roll back to version 36, now menus are working again, broken in 46 and 47.

Interesting, they do for me.

Yeah, I always forget the "x".

How about glxinfo?

Tonnes of output for that command!

That looks good.
I'm having trouble deciphering the problem, it's really difficult since I can't reproduce it.

Switched from MacOS to Linux Mint, to find MediaCenter works without a problem. Awesome!

Bob, I'll wind it forwards version by version to see when it breaks for me, in case that gives a clue. Thanks, Robert

Hi, there doesnt appear to be any versions available other than
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v22/latest/MediaCenter-22.0.36.deb
http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v22/latest/MediaCenter-22.0.46.deb
so cant test versions in between.
Pull down menus definitely unresponsive in 46 but fine in 36. I can press "CTRL O" to get the options window, but cant access the Tools pull down menu for example. The left hand panel is fine, so I can select playlists etc that's fine, and hovering over an album in the main panel I can select play / file ok. So literally it seems to be the top menu. The repeat, shuffle, options icons light up blue when selected. but the options one (the 3 sliders) doesnt bring up the relevant screen. The search panel is ok, as are play/stop etc.
All fine in 36.
regards Robert
