Also in the latest and beta repos.

25.0.74 (7/8/2019)

1. Changed: When doing a movie lookup, the year will be stripped from the name if the movie is named like [Name] ([Year]).
2. Changed: M4A files will be marked as not HDCD if the compression is set to "MP4 AAC".
3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
4. Changed: Updated the Korean translation (thanks Junghwan).
5. NEW: Added a "Play Doctor" options page and it allows setting rules for file playback.
6. Changed: The play button on a remote when playback is paused will unpause instead of looking for something new to play.
7. Fixed: The library authorization popup would hang if you right-clicked inside one of the edit boxes.
8. Fixed: Some MP4/m4a/m4v files with bad 'free' atoms would not play.
9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.
11. NEW: Added a Rand(...) expression function to generate a random number between the two bounds specified.  The last optional parameter specifies if you want integer or decimal.
12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
13. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.
14. Fixed: hitting escape on some popup menus would cause a crash.

25.0.71 (6/28/2019)

1. Fixed: Tagging windows that did an auto-select and included a suggestion box would lose focus causing the backspace key to jump back in the UI instead of performing a backspace.
2. Changed: Made the Tag Action Window save and load the scroll position as you navigate (and select no files then select files again).
3. Changed: The blue light will illuminate when decoding HDCD (previously that would cause the light to disengage).
4. Changed: Renamed the option "Process HDCD" to to "Play as HDCD if possible".
5. Changed: Made passing a negative number into ListLimit will grab that many from the end of the list.
6. NEW: Added the smartlist rule ~linkexpand to expand the links in a smartlist.
7. Changed: Made the About box identify the program as 32-bit (it would already identify 64-bit).
8. Changed: Files are no longer marked as dirty when they get flagged as not HDCD so they will not tag because of it.
9. Changed: Made the ListLimit MCWS function take an optional third parameter for the index to start at.
10. NEW: Added Options > Library & Folders > Analyze HDCD Files to flag the analyzer to look at the HDCD state.  It defaults to off so no analysis will be done unless you opt-in.
11. Changed: When the program loads, it will go through files and mark lossy files as not HDCD and files that aren't 44100x16x2 as not HDCD.
12. Changed: Added a message when iTunes playlist import finishes with the number of playlists and directions about where to find them (or an error if no playlists were found).
13. Changed: Searching for files then deleting all of them from Playing Now will reset the search.
14. NEW: Added the MCWS function ListLimit to cap the size of a list of items.
14. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.
15. Changed: Made artist image lookup key into the fact that it's a music artist a little better (so playing bands with animal names, etc. will show better matches).
16. Fixed: Right-click play commands were not all working properly (may need to re-add the Add to Playing Now toolbar button to make it work).

25.0.65 (6/24/2019)

1. Changed: Tagging no longer runs on URLs or Radio Paradise files.
2. NEW: DLNA: HDCD info passed via JRiver specific DiDL to enable processing by a MC renderer.
3. Fixed: Files could get erroneously tagged during playback.
4. Fixed: Picking "Export Playlist..." from the view header menu would reset the selection.
5. Fixed: Encoder settings could get saved to the registry as the default profile and cause DLNA playback issues between L16 and WAV.
6. Fixed: HDCD decoding would engage when the HDCD field was set to unknown (-1).
7. Changed: Added the options Audio > Advanced > Process HDCD to enable and disable HDCD procssing during playback.
8. Changed: Made the new lyrics lookup option also apply when turning on lyrics display.
9. Fixed: The "Add to Playing Now" toolbar button was not working properly.

The Rand() function is indeed producing random numbers but it looks like everything else after that in the filename settings is ignored.

The Rand() function is indeed producing random numbers but it looks like everything else after that in the filename settings is ignored.

I can reproduce that. 

It's interesting because this works fine:
[Artist] - Rand(10000,99999)

And this doesn't work:
Rand(10000,99999) - [Artist]

I'll take a look in the code tomorrow.

[Matt]

I figured it out.

You need to use:
Rand(10000,99999,1) - [Artist]

Otherwise the random number is a decimal and the . causes the filename to end.

Mystery solved!

Great! Would it also be possible to add the decimal to the clean() function on Linux so that fields with periods won't truncate the filename? As you mentioned before this doesn't seem to be an issue on Windows.

MCWS Playback/Playlist command is returning no results after updating to 74 from 71.

Tried it from a browser as well as a basic app.  71 works.

Works for me.

Edit:  Okay, looks like all of a sudden, the NTFS drive on this machine (where my media lib files are located) has become read-only, can't even get chown to change permissions, so this appears to be a system config issue....

Yes and I don't know why your home directory is on the NTFS drive! (where .jriver is)

chown doesn't work on NTFS because it doesn't support linux permissions, and ntfs-3g mounts ntfs as RO by default. You will need to use dmask and fmask in fstab to set the correct disk permissions on mount (as well as the 'user' option if you want it to be mounted as you and not root).
