http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter130161.exe13.0.161 (04/29/2009)
1. Changed: Picking a zone-specific Playing Now (introduced in build 160) also switches to that zone.
2. Fixed: In certain cases, running two JRiver players at once could cause some COM-based plugins to fail to work properly.
13.0.160 (04/28/2009)
1. Changed: Improved Theater View television view for dealing with live television (renamed "Channels" to "Live TV", better integrated guide data, etc.)
2. Changed: The "Big Screen" roller item in Theater View's Playing Now no longer appears when nothing is playing.
3. Changed: Pressing enter on a navigation roller item in Theater View with no function will do the same as pressing the down button.
4. Changed: After loading programming guide data,
TV program cover art will be automatically downloaded in the background. (will only run automatically, at most, every 14 days)
5. NEW: Added support for command line switch /NoDependencies to installer to bypass installation of third-party dependencies like DirectX tools DLL, etc.

Stop After Every Item", which can be useful in
DJ settings.
7. Fixed: MC would hang when moved to a different monitor while time-shifting on a television channel.
8. Fixed: The Rename, Move, & Copy Files tool did not allow semi-colons in output filenames.
9. NEW:
When multiple zones are configured, each zone will show up under "Playing Now" in the tree. This allows linking tabs or split views to different zones. Activating these views also switches the active zone. [experimental -- may not remain]
10. Fixed: A large MP3 of all binary 0's could cause the analyzer to crash.
13.0.159 (04/27/2009)
1. Fixed: Playing a file from Theater View when another file was playing could just show the playing file in some cases (only applies to build 158).

3. Fixed: Text spacing in CD ripping progress action window was wrong.
4. Fixed: Explorer view would go bonkers when faced with thousands of folders within one directory.

8. Fixed: When doing a Quick S
earch (F3), a partially visible thumbnail would not be made wholly visible.
9. Changed: View customization allows list grouping and album thumbnails in smartlists and playlist groups. (but not possible in ordered lists like a playlist or Playing Now since it would fight with the ordering)
10. Changed: Added Windows 7 compatibility section to executable manifests; prevents Program Compatibility Assistant popups on install, etc.
11. Changed: When importing television recordings, the time of the show is rounded to the nearest 5 minutes to make it better coincide with the program starting time.
13.0.158 (04/24/2009)
1. Changed:
Quick Search highlights matches using edit colors instead of bold.
2. Changed: When adding a new library view, the new view name will automatically be set to the name of the selected view instead of always using "New Library View". (can still be customized)
3. Fixed: Audio problem on analog TV/capture devices when using an input line (in particular, Hauppauge HD PVR Capture device).
4. Changed: Performing an action that requires the Action Window (Tag link on thumbnail, Burn disc, etc.) will unhide the tree if it's hidden.
5. Fixed: When loading a Podcast Feed, a content type was specified in the request header, which could confuse some servers.
6. Fixed: Using right-click menu or OSD menu to start recording from a video input line (on Hauppauge HD PVR Capture and other devices) did nothing.
7. Fixed: Erroneous message box saying "You are watching channel <blank>. Do you want to cancel it and start recording" was displayed when MC tried to start scheduled recording on a non-tuner video capture device.
8. Fixed: Viewing a large folder in a My Computer view could cause a crash.
9. Changed: When updating a 'My Computer' view that takes a while, the list will empty and say 'Working...' instead of showing the last visible items and not indicating that it's working.
10. Fixed: When leaving a view in Theater View where the file info panel showed the playing display, the frame would not fade out for a few seconds.
11. Changed: Playing a file in Theater View that's already playing will just jump to Display View instead of restarting the file.
12. Changed: When viewing a DVD menu fullscreen, the 'Play' button on a remote will act like enter instead of pause.
13. Fixed: The Television view in Theater View would not show programs once there was less five minutes left.
14. NEW: Added more sophisticated system for specifying when television subscriptions should record. (i.e. once per day, once per week, etc.)
15. NEW: A context menu item "Show signal strength on screen" for digital television that allows signal strength info stay on screen until user turns it off. It also works with OSD menu (using left or right arrow to toggle).
16. Changed: Moved the television Configure > Show Status command to the Settings dialog instead of the menu. (to work more like the other debugging helpers on the Settings dialog)
17. NEW: Added ability to have
television recordings automatically deleted after some period of time. (can be set per subscription or per episode inside a subscription)

19. Fixed: Search suggestions were not reachable with the down key on the keyboard.
20. Changed: Revised layout of television recording wizard.

23. Changed: Revised how the player buttons at the top right of the player work. They show a menu, right-click and left-click merged, etc.

13.0.156 (04/21/2009)
1. Fixed: Scheduled recordings that had been disabled could still wake the computer from sleep.
2. Changed: When inserting a string into an expression edit control, it would always add to the end if some text was selected -- now it replaces the text (unless the entire edit is selected).

4. Changed: Added some logging to 3D engine (Theater View, etc.) to help troubleshoot problems.
5. Optimized: Rewrote core string relpacement function (used widely internally) to be much faster.
6. NEW: When doing a Quick Search (Ctrl+Q), the typed phrases will be highlighted (currently with bold) in the list.
13.0.155 (04/20/2009)
1. Fixed: The installer would launch Media Center after installation on Windows 7, causing possible UAC troubles (since the installer can only run Media Center elevated, but a normal run should not be elevated).
2. Optimized: Resaved all included artwork files using a better encoder, reducing the build size and helping program load times.
3. Changed: Updated internal APE decoding to use Monkey's Audio 4.08 (prerelease) SDK which has fix for poor APE streaming performance.

7. Fixed: Deleting a television recording from Theater View could cause a crash.
8. Changed: Tweaked digital television graph building in an attempt to fix a problem on Windows 7.
9. NEW: Replaced "Quick Search" popup dialog with search integrated into the list. (Ctrl+Q or Edit menu)
13.0.154 (04/16/2009)
1. Fixed: With media server running, closing the program did not apply user settings for clearing playing now, recently imported, etc.

1. NEW: Introduced new encoder plugin system; merged all stock encoders into enc_main.dll plugin.
2. Changed: Haali Video Renderer is now available for use with digital television. You may need to reset your video renderer selection.
3. Fixed: If a view title contained an ampersand, it could size tabs incorrectly so that it ended with ... when it wasn't necessary.
