22. NEW: Added OPF file tagging for e-books (requires data be on for the sidecar setting).

43. Changed: GroupSummaryQuery delimits a list of fields with semi-colons instead of dashes.
44. Changed: When we search for accents, we search for both the accent and the non-accent instead of only the non-accent (makes GroupSummaryQuery work better).
26.0.87 (6/2/2020)
1. Fixed: Possible crash during playback in rare cases.
2. Changed: Manage TV Channels tool will now show channel details (Device name, URL, etc.) of Tuner Stream channels.
3. Changed: When matching TitanTV TV channels with ATSC channels in MC, we use relaxed matching criteria because TitanTV uses outdated physical channel number on some channels.
4. Changed: When viewing an ATSC channel using TitanTV interface, MC will try matching with a Tuner Stream channel if an ATSC channel is not found.

15. Changed: The OSD doesn't display when playing an image, then jumping to full screen (before it would show the zoom level).
16. Fixed: Starting an image playing and then jumping to Display View would not make the image fill the view.
17. Fixed: The subtitle engine would select the wrong sidecar subtitle files in some situations.
18. Changed: Disabled event notifications for other applications through global broadcast messages, since they can interfere with smooth operation of other applications.
19. Changed: Standardized on ";" for the list delimiter instead of "; " for all the expressions.
20. Changed: Actors, producers, etc. from TheMovieDB are delimited with ";" instead of "; ".
21. Changed: Memory playback turns off when there's less than 256 MB of memory (previously it would still try to allocate that much).

6. Fixed: GroupCount also works on the full set of library files instead of the working set.
7. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
8. NEW: Television option to allow users to pick a specific TV rating system (if available) in XMLTV files.

9. Changed: The tree no longer expands to show when devices come and go.
10. Changed: Removed the +6 dB shift we were applying to HDCD decoding.

26.0.66 (4/21/2020)
1.
NEW: First cut at TV support. Requires a DLNA capable tuner device (i.e. HDHomeRun Prime). Not supported on ARM yet.
2. Fixed: Fixed a crash reported from when we checked a file to see if it was a Radio Paradise file.
3. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 5.34 (makes JRiver changes from the previous build part of Monkey's Audio).
4. Changed: The "More Play Options" Theater View roller item will now contain "Play All" when selecting a single file.
5. Changed: A message is shown when APE files that are too old are encountered with the URL of the conversion tool.
6. Fixed: ListShuffle(...) didn't trim the whitespace when building a list so the new list could sometimes have spaces around the semi-colon.
7. Changed: More work on radio stations that don't play.
8. Changed: Added whitespace trimming to all the list expression functions.
9. Changed: MC as a renderer wasn't providing all of the important metadata when asked by a DLNA controller and that includes another instance of MC not actively controlling (duration, channels, sample rate, size, various artworks). This will also help with third party DLNA controllers showing metadata.
10. Fixed: Wasn't looking at the new name of the ListMix(...) function so escapement wasn't working.

14. Changed: The GroupSummaryQuery function accepts a parameter just like GroupSummary to turn off labeling.

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,124543.0.html)
16. NEW: Added a mode to the Find(...) expression function "2" to reverse find instead of forward find in the string.
17. Changed: When we fail to load a MIME type from a stream, we switch to the iTunes user agent and try again (makes several streams start working).
18. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
19. NEW: Added BM8 to the playlist import format list (a Winamp playlist).
20. NEW: Chapters are shown on the OSD when seeking to a chapter in a video.
21. Fixed: HDCD processing would not be applied when converting formats.
22. Changed: Made only composer images trim the year from the name of the cover art.
23. NEW: Added the expression function GroupSummaryQuery to build a summary for files matching the given fields.
24. Changed: No longer set the user agent to NSPlayer when requesting a mime type for a file but instead the JRiver user agent.
