Streaming mov videos from Library Server will load "JRiver URL Reader" filter, if the client is configured to play mov videos in DirectShow.
3. Fixed: Right-click commands that only apply to certain lists (like 'Uncheck all' in a CD list) will only appear in the MRU list in those lists. (previously a blank spot could appear in the MRU list)

Added a search to WebRemote and WebPlay.
5. Changed: Audio, Images, and Video roots with WebPlay and WebRemote use media-type specific artwork.

6. NEW:
WebPlay and WebRemote paginate long lists (>250) into multiple pages. (see included templates or

15.0.70 (7/1/2010)
1. NEW: (Experimental) Digital television recording can be done in transport stream format (.ts).

3.
Faster: Improved memory usage of one of the core data structures used by the program.
4.
Faster: Improved performance of toolbar / breadcrumb user interface pieces.
5.
Faster: View switching destroys the previous view only after the new view is showing, making view switches faster.
6.
Faster: Reduced the amount of user interface layout done when switching views.
7. Changed: When Playing Now is empty, the double-click to play action will shuffle all files instead of playing them in sorted order.
8. Changed: 'Start' is no longer listed in the tree although the program will, by default, still start at the view (can be customized in Options > Startup).
9. Changed: Pressing F11 will no longer include Cover View in the cycle of views.
10. Changed: Cover View is considered a 'user input mode' like Standard View and Mini View so that returning from Theater View, closing Display View with escape, etc. will return to Cover View instead of Standard View.
11. Changed: The into links on a category thumbnail did not show the hand / link cursor when the mouse was over them.
12. Changed: Increased time-shifting reader filter's video buffer size. This should fix the television time-shifting error when Microsoft video decoder is used.

7. Changed: Theater View skinning now at version 2.4 (will require update of non-stock skins).
15.0.68 (6/28/2010)
1. Fixed: Audio problem with
Hauppauge WintTV HD PVR device.
2. Fixed: Bass management was not handling moving bass to the LFE channel properly.
3. Optimized: The low-pass and high-pass filters used for Bass Management, JRSS, etc. are about 38% faster.
4. Changed: A confirmation is shown when doing an 'Unstack' command on more than one stacked file (has 'Don't show this message again' box).
5. Changed:
Auto-import will attempt to silently reconnect to any disconnected network drives before flagging a file as 'missing'.
6. Fixed: Ripping could show an 'Unknown encoder error' in rare cases. (hopefully fixed, feedback appreciated)
7. Changed: When viewing a file grouping, the 'Date Imported' will show the most recent import date of any file in the group instead of the average import date.
8. Changed: Added the 'Add View' command back to the tree right-click menu for a library view.

14. Changed: Ignore anything past the first 4 digits in a
FLAC vorbis DATE tag.
15.0.67 (6/25/2010)
1. Changed: Updated
Japanese translation (thanks to KANEY).
2. NEW:
Bass management in DSP Studio > Output Format allows specifying a bass routing mode of remove, move, or copy.
3. Changed: Bass management uses a 24 dB/octave lowpass for creating redirected bass (previously used a 12 db/octave slope).
4. Changed: Tuned JRSS mixing level used when creating a LFE channel.
5. Changed: The previously selected file in Theater View > Playing Now > List will no longer be drawn bold if the list is not focused.
6. NEW:
AVI videos can be streamed from Library Server using "JRiver URL Reader" filter, so one does not have to wait for the entire file to be downloaded before playback starts.
7. Changed: Improved messaging of import when it's importing a large library as it, by design, works in batches of 10,000 files.
8. NEW: Added Output Format subwoofer crossover choice "Silence (use Room Correction or other DSP to fill)".
9. Changed: Made the 'Output Format' DSP a two-column layout with more verbose explanation of settings.
10. Fixed: Closing the program with Media Server running could stop playback in attached DLNA / Library Server zones.
11. NEW: Preliminary .srt and .sub
subtitle support for the DLNA server. The subtitle file should be the same name as the original video file in the same path with either a .srt or .sub extension depending on what your renderer supports. Tested working with Popcorn hour. Needs more testing. The number of renderers that support this seem limited.
15.0.66 (6/24/2010)
1. Fixed:
DLNA video conversion works now - was broken.
2. Changed: Improved the ordering of '
Bass Management' effects chain in 'Room Correction' DSP.
3. Changed: The
'Tone' Room Correction tool plays the tone adjusted by all other adjustments. (previously played full amplitude, unadjusted tone)
4. Fixed: 'Bass Management' settings were not properly persisting between sessions.
5. Changed: Improved Bass Management high-pass / bass redirection filters to offer higher quality. (done as two independent intersecting filters to allow curve tuning on each)
6. Fixed: MC would crash when it failed to convert certain audio formats.
