http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v17/latest/MediaCenter170115.exe17.0.115 (3/27/2012)
1. Fixed: Date formatting tokens %W and %U were counting from the first week in the month instead of the first week in the year.
2. Fixed: When tagging ID3v2 tags (MP3, WAV, DSF) with images other than just a front cover, the results could be unpredictable (Media Center will replace front and other images with the image in Media Center, and leave other types).
3. Fixed: Japanese locale (and maybe others) could have problems loading Podcasts.
4. NEW:
Audio Path reports the source format (especially useful for seeing if DTS-MA, etc. is being decoded fully).
5. Changed: When toggling zones, Playing Now views are only switched to the new zone if they're in the current tab, split view, and not locked (so having multiple splits each showing a different Playing Now works nicely).
6. Fixed: With a Search List view category, the sorting could be disabled but stuck on 'Descending' causing the list to sort in reverse.
7. Changed:
Resuming from standby, a Library Server client will sync with the server (must have 'Options > Media Network > Client Options > Auto sync with server' enabled).
8. Changed: A file will not be eligible to transfer to a handheld or burn to a CD/DVD until any queued tagging for that file has finished.
9. Fixed: Audio Path text was not readable with some skins.
10. Fixed: Right-clicking a non-selected pane item and picking an action could perform the action on the previous selection.
11. Changed:
Updated LAV filters to .50. Decoding speed increases, RealAudio Lossless support, lots of other improvements.
12. Fixed: Unusual behavior when corrupt podcast files were downloaded.
13. Changed: Improved visual smoothness when switching into Cover View (also removed black flicker when pressing stop from Cover View).
14. Changed: The Smartlist Editor doesn't show a drop list for 'Large Value' type fields like Description, etc.
15. Changed: If video playback is paused when entering Theater View, it is not automatically resumed if Theater View is exited to Standard View.
17.0.114 (3/26/2012)
1. Changed: When using list fields in Rename, Move, & Copy Files expressions, the full list can be retrieved by using 0 as the second field parameter (example: [Keywords, 0]).
2. Fixed: The server core was not supporting HTTP/1.1 pipelining correctly, causing scrambled artwork in WebGizmo on iOS 5, and possibly other problems.
3. Fixed: WebGizmo better handles escapement of invalid characters.
4. Changed: Tweaks to ensure WebGizmo pages pass W3C validation.
5. Fixed: Date formatting was not outputting a literal percentage properly when using %%.
6. Changed: Date formatting supports %W and %U.
17.0.113 (3/23/2012)
1. NEW: Added support for
dual-layer DVD burning.
2. Fixed: Scrolling in Theater View 3d lists could crash in some cases.
3. Faster: Theater View will run up to 16 concurrent object updates instead of 4 concurrent updates for user interface elements.
4. Fixed: Handheld syncing could send duplicate files when one side had a space after semi-colons in a list and the other side had no spaces.
5. Fixed: The FormatDate(...) token datetime was not working properly.
6. Fixed: XMP tagging would write empty keywords when removing keywords instead of actually removing them from the XMP tag.
17.0.112 (3/22/2012)
1. Fixed: List column header text was using the wrong color in build 111.
2. Changed: Consolidated and improved date formatting supported by FormatDate(...) expression ( details here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=71000.msg479314#msg479314 ).
3. Fixed: All XMP keywords were not being read in some cases.
4. Fixed: Some functions in Media Editor were not working properly.
5. Changed: MP4 parsing is more forgiving of some types of container corruption.
6. NEW: Add DLNA controller option to disable SetNextAVTransportURI support for broken renderers.
7. Changed: DLNA controller logic for SetNextAVTransportURI to work around bugs in some renderers.
8. NEW: Added support for
/Sleep [milliseconds] command to the launcher to allow scripting delays. To sleep one second: MC17.exe /Sleep 1000
17.0.111 (3/21/2012)
1. Faster: More SSE speed improvements in image framework.
2. Changed: The expression engine trims white space before the first parameter and after the last parameter in a function (you can force white-space output by escaping with a slash).
3. Changed: In the expression engine, if a slash (the escape character) is followed by newline, all white space will be discarded (including the newline).
4. Changed: Improved support for SSA font face and position tokens.
5. Changed: Improved support for SSA command blocks that string many commands or formatting tokens into a single block (ie. {\i1\fnVerdana}).
6. NEW: Added an Indonesian translation (thanks to elda).
7. Changed: Switched list headers from a skinned system control to a custom JRiver control (please report any issues).
8. Fixed: Audio playback using DirectShow filters did not nicely handle mid-stream format changes (could cause problems with DTS WAV files, maybe others).
9. Changed: Tuned DTS-in-WAV detector to better handle DTS files with junk between the DTS frames.
10. Changed: Carnac better understands MakeMKV filenames (ie. t01_The_Matrix.mkv).
17.0.110 (3/19/2012)
1. Changed: Revised the bilinear image portion of JRMark to be more representative of how the program uses bilinear stretching (older JRMark values will be roughly comparable, but not exactly the same).
2. Faster: More speed improvements to SSE in image engine.
3. Changed: DLNA: the way the updateID is incremented. If a starting index is >0 the updateID is not incremented.
17.0.109 (3/16/2012)
1. Fixed: Ripping DVD "Cars 2" would cause a crash.
2. Changed: When burning a DVD video disc, if there is a DRM protected file in the burn queue, an appropriate error message is now shown.
3. Fixed: EPG loading could load incorrect channel data in certain cases.
4. Changed: Carnac better handles SageTV recording filenames that use a 6-digit identifier instead of a 7-digit identifier.
5. Changed: Image framework uses SSE for core rendering when possible. Should also be faster.
17.0.108 (3/15/2012)
1. Changed: Improvements to Carnac parsing of download filenames.
2. Changed: EPG channel auto-match did not run for all DVB variants.
3. Changed: Tuned the EPG channel auto-match for non-ATSC channels.
17.0.107 (3/14/2012)
1. Fixed: EPG loading was not working properly for some country / postal codes.
2. Fixed: Locked views could cause the view state to be lost between program startups.
3. Changed: Better error handling during DVD video burning.
17.0.106 (3/13/2012)
1. Changed: Updated to
madVR v0.82.5 when using Red October HQ.
2. Changed: Updated
LAV .49. VC1 files now handled by LAV video decoder.
3. Fixed: Burn queue track sorting was broken.
4. NEW: Added support for
DSD bitstreaming using DoP (requires 'WASAPI - Event Style' output and supported DSD hardware).
5. NEW: DSD bitstreaming using DoP allows selecting the marker bytes (supports DoP 1.0, and older 0xAA approach used by dCS, Meitner, and others).
6. Fixed: In some cases, text based subtitles could appear with multiple subtitles on top of one another.
7. Fixed: EPG guide loading was not working properly for countries other than the US.
8. Faster: Burning an audio CD when not decoding directly to disc prepares files several times faster.
9. NEW: Added expression FileFolder(...) to get the folder of a file: FileFolder(string Filename = [Filename, 0], int LevelsUp = 0).
17.0.105 (3/9/2012)
1. NEW: ISO image burning added to CD/DVD burn types. Also, DVD video burning now allows burning an existing ripped DVD from the hard disk.
2. Changed: Added DLNA video profiles for devices that only support MPEG-2 audio in MPEG-2 video containers (no AC-3 support).
17.0.104 (3/8/2012)
1. Changed: Improved code structure / linkage so that JRWorker is 611kB smaller, Media Center is 353kB smaller, and PackageInstaller is 421kB smaller.
2. NEW: Added the ability to
auto-create particles for Blu-ray titles.
3. Changed: Making changes to a particle no longer does any file tagging.
4. Changed: VST plugin loading will accept v1.x VST effects instead of only v2.x effects.
5. Changed: When creating a particle, a user interface is shown.
6. Changed: Using Rename, Move, & Copy Files will show "<file not supported>" for particles and do no actions on them.
7. Changed: When renaming the parent of particles, the particles are automatically updated.
17.0.103 (3/7/2012)
1. NEW: Added support for sidecar .SSA/.ASS subtitles (feedback welcome).
2. Changed: Added WebM Video (.webm) to the list of supported video types.
3. Changed: Added a DoP test clip to the test clip suite.
4. Changed: Updated to
madVR v0.82.4 when using Red October HQ.
5. Changed: When changing resolutions, Media Center always toggles desktop composition to force Windows to update the desktop manager (previously it only did this when starting playback, not when stopping playback).
6. Changed: Revised the Help > System Info display (thanks to madshi for his help).
17.0.102 (3/6/2012)
1. Changed: Added the expression function ConvertDate(...) to convert a human readable date to the internal date format (example: ConvertDate(3/6/2012) or FormatDate(ConvertDate(3/6/2012), decade)).
2. Changed: Stack members are allowed to have discrete Playback Info, Playback Range, and Bookmark values.
3. Experimental: It's possible to create a
particle of a file that plays a certain title, subtitles, aspect ratio, playback range etc. (Stacks > Advanced > Create Particle...).
4. Experimental: Added Stacks > Advanced >
Auto Create DVD Title Particles to create a particle for each title on a DVD (so individual titles are playable).
5. Fixed: JRSS mixing was incorrectly handling 6.1 in certain cases (it was assuming L R C LFE BC SL SR instead of reading the channel mask).
6. Changed: Remove obsolete "no server header" advanced DLNA server option.
7. NEW: Add "enable bitrate field" advanced DLNA server option. Disabled by default because some devices break when they get it. Enable it for devices that can use it for seeking.
8. Fixed: prevent MC from trying to update tags on a remote file playing in the DLNA renderer or viewed by the DLNA controller.
17.0.101 (3/5/2012)
1. Changed:
Improved television EPG loading interface.
2. Changed: Television view in Standard View shows series images for programs when available, and removes the 'Image...' button that predates automatic series art downloading (part of auto-import).
3. Changed: When using the Internet Explorer engine to render webpages in Standard View, IE's compatibility mode is no longer used.
4. Changed: Updated to
madVR v0.82.1 when using Red October HQ.
5. Fixed: Exiting the ASIO configuration dialog could hang in some cases.
6. Changed: DLNA: altered the logic on SetNextAVTransportURI to better support the different possible renderer implementations.
7. NEW: DLNA: When in a DLNA zone AND we are not the controller (we didn't start playback) AND something is playing on the renderer device, try to get and display the MetaData from the renderer.
