http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/MediaCenter150027.exe (requires an MC15 license)

15.0.27 (04/15/2010)

1. Fixed: The 'List Style' view customization menu didn't always contain the new mode 'Tiles'.
2. Fixed: Using WebRemote, adding a single track to the current playlist would not work.
3. Changed: Added a maximum width to the default WebRemote appearance so it looks better with a desktop browser.
4. Fixed: Setting sorting in the Customize View dialog using 'Set rules for file display...' would not work properly.
5. Changed: A list, tree, or options control more visibly represents when it is disabled.
6. Changed: Skins can specify a list DisabledTextColor and DisabledBackColor.
7. Fixed: Audio problem when playing a television channel using JRiver audio renderer.

15.0.26 (04/14/2010)

1. Fixed: Locking all views in a split view configuration would cause problems.
2. NEW: The video thumbnail capture position is now configurable.
3. NEW: Added television subscription option 'Do not record programs that have been recorded in the past'. (doesn't know about programs from before this change that have been recorded and deleted)
4. Fixed: Multi disc burning was broken - it would not continue to the next disc in the burn process.
5. NEW: Added support for CUE files that point to multiple files.
7. Changed: Numerous refinements to how views are customized.
8. NEW: Every level of a categories view can be independently configured (thumbnail size, text, sorting, etc.)
9. Changed: Switching the sorting for a category list using the view header menu changes the same thing as picking the category in Customize View and changing the sorting.
10. Changed: "Video Audio Renderer" feature becomes permanently enabled and removed from the Features list. Its selection is moved to Video > Audio for Video, DVD, & Television > Playback Device.

15.0.25 (04/13/2010)

1. Fixed: Tiles list style was not honoring skin text coloring.
2. Changed: WebRemote is available using http://host:port/WebRemote/ or http://host:port/WebRemote.
3. Changed: SDK requests for artist, album, and name for the file playing in the active zone will return the playback-time-only values like web radio song titles, etc. (useful for NetRemote)
4. Changed: Improved how library server access keys are displayed and managed.
5. NEW: Added the ability to view, reset, test, etc. a library server access key.
6. NEW: Added locked views to allow locking any view in a split view to avoid unintentional view changes. (view changes will simply occur in an unlocked split view)
7. NEW: Added the ability to maximize the Tag Action Window.

1. Changed: Viewing a DVD under Drives & Devices could use the wording 'CD' instead of disc.
2. Changed: When viewing an empty disc drive under 'Drives & Devices', the header will have a 'Refresh' button instead of a 'Play' button.
3. Changed: A name can be entered when ripping some types of discs.
4. Fixed: Drawing of some edit controls wouldn't properly clip text at the margins, instead letting the text run right to the border.
5. Changed: When a control has a label above it, the label will be close to make the relationship more clear.
6. Changed: Added a 'Lookup Movie Info From Wikipedia' button to the view header of a DVD.
7. NEW: Added 'Tiles' list style designed for better viewing of movie and television collections. (still rough around the edges)
8. Fixed: DirectShow and VST DSP Plugins did not work in video playback, displaying "Not authorized for this output".
9. Changed: Made it easier to create a library view with no panes or categories.
10. Changed: Revised the 'Customize Current View...' dialog so that each section of the view has its own panel. (still a work in progress)
11. Fixed: DLNA avi's were not showing up on the Xbox 360. They will work now if the codec is supported.
12. Changed: Using codec info (if we have it) to set the DLNA flags for content directories of video files.

15.0.23 (04/09/2010)

1. NEW: When connecting to a Library Server, only changes from the previous connection to a library server are downloaded instead of the full library. (also makes syncing server changes back to a client much faster)

3. Fixed: Some YouTube video would not play when user chose "Play the file inside the player".

2. NEW: A "Default video renderer" option that is applied to all file types whose video renderers are set to "Automatic".
3. NEW: WebRemote is part of Library Server (makes access using the new method introduced in build 21 easier)
4. Fixed: Long web media URLs would not always open properly.
5. Fixed: When in Cover View, the button to close the view from the view header was only available in library views.

I just wanted to shout out: WOW !!
Thanks for all the new features and changes since the last public build!

Diverdown1964 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 16, 2010, 03:17:33 pm »

Wow - WebRemote is OUTSTANDING! Easy to use, and Fast! Kudos to you guys, great job!

I do however want to point out that videos are still not syncing with the iPod.

Cheers guys - have a great weekend.

THANK YOU!!

Comments Regarding the new Tag Action Window Maximizing feature:

1) Thank you!

2) Once maximized, the upward pointing carrot should point down to visually show that clicking it would un-maximize (restore) the window.

3) I would like the embedded tag view (detailed format info link) to recognize and allow maximization.

The lock view feature is there! Now it's time to switch to MC15 for me! Thanks a lot for adding this very important possibility. Also great is the webremote (even if I still prefer xpTunes)

Two comments:
Lock view: I can tick both views to be locked (when choosing 2 views) - but the first view remains unlocked (which might be ok if it might be confusing if MC doesn' react anylonger on switching view schemes. In this case, it would be more precise if not both lock view menu items would get ticked.

WebRemote:
I obviously have to many albums as MC crashes everytime I try to see my albums.

rhgh · « **Reply #6 on:** April 16, 2010, 05:45:48 pm »

I can not disable Gridlines in the options. enable or disable has no effect.

New lock function is great

Hi,

I purchased MC14 on march 11, 2010. I'am wondering if i'am eligible to upgrade to MC15 without charge.

Thanks.

KeystoneCop · « **Reply #9 on:** April 16, 2010, 07:41:02 pm »

This has been reported before:
Tools-Options-Tree & View- Advanced-right click recent command count. I changed to 8

There is no recent commands for the following

   LOCATE ..name
   Locate .. Artist
   Locate.. album.

it just saves the last one used as LOCATE It used to save all 3 in version 13.

  AT least tell me to stop waiting my time asking for a fix.
oh well.. have a nice day anyway

That would be an MC14 license.

Keep up the good humor and work!

6. Changed: Added a 'Lookup Movie Info From Wikipedia' button to the view header of a DVD.

Thanks!

Suggestion: It would also be great to have the DVD header be configurable or adjusted to DVD's. For instance, instead of the field "By: [Artist]...", it should be changed to "Directed by: [Director]..." Also, the Rating, Length of Movie, etc. should be in the DVD header IMO.

This is a beta version of MC 15. Please post bugs here. Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion. Non-bug posts will be deleted or moved.

I figured out why the cover art is not working correctly when I sync MC with my Nokia phone! I use WMA encoding. By default, MC sets the cover art as "Other" where as the player expects it to be set as "Front Cover". I don't know exactly how that translates in terms of WMA tags (I did this change using mp3tag) but without changing this, the cover art doesn't show on the phone. I suspect this could affect many other devices that use WMA.

Erik.

AoXoMoXoA · « **Reply #18 on:** April 18, 2010, 07:58:45 am »

When using "Rename File From Properties" and selecting the "COPY" mode, MC fails to respond to keyboard commands i.e.: Ctrl-A, F2, etc, but will respond to right-click-->>F2 until the copy operation is complete at which time control returns to normal.

kurushi · « **Reply #19 on:** April 18, 2010, 08:15:37 am »

6. Changed: Skins can specify a list DisabledTextColor and DisabledBackColor.

I have changed my skin but how can i see the result i mean what is a disabled text color on a list (i see only activated text)

akhunaton · « **Reply #20 on:** April 18, 2010, 12:38:56 pm »

I was posting bugs in the wrong place. sorry.

Bug #1 - Webremote is not updating the display (album art, etc) when pressing next track on Android phone (Droid) [This worked fine about 10 version ago]
Bug #2 - Authentication breaks WebRemote's functions on Android phone (Droid). (btw, I would like to have option for Authentication for either server and/or Webremote)

MarkCoutinho · « **Reply #21 on:** April 18, 2010, 01:26:04 pm »

Lock view: I still can change my views and I don't see the item. Or is it within the Split View-section?
If so: that's a bummer, 'cause I thought this viewlock would mean locking the view/order of a playlist. Thát would be really great.
So: is this latter possibility now within MC or is it just the Split View-thing?

I tried on a G1 and it asked for a user name and password and then worked.

What are you seeing? What happens if you provide the username and password?
