History: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=74442.0

18.0.155 (3/22/2013)

1. NEW: Simplified the license restore system (doesn't require browser, more forgiving about Registration Code formatting, automatically fills from clipboard, etc.).
2. Fixed: Pasting text with leading newlines into an edit control that isn't multiline will work better.
3. Changed: A low-pass or high-pass filter set above the Nyquist frequency will act as a pass-through (previously it could run and output out-of-range values, triggering Protect Mode).
4. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
5. Fixed: Disc Labeler was not working.
6. Fixed: Memory playback was using more resources than necessary.
7. Changed: Flick gestures from a touchscreen change images during image playback.

4. Changed: Manually adjusting the volume while the volume is muted will unmute the volume.
5. [b]NEW: The command line allows making MCWS web service calls[/b]: MC18.exe "/MCWS/v1/Playback/Pause?State=-1" (does not require Media Network to be running or a server to be listening).

2. Changed: A couple of small tweaks to audio encoding for video conversion.

3. Fixed: HD television channels played poorly on Ceton devices that were installed as network devices.
4. Fixed: A few bugs relating to CD ripping with multiple drives.

18.0.149 (3/13/2013)

1. Fixed: The program did not properly handle relative paths that started with a backslash (which means starting on the current drive).
2. [b]Faster[/b]: The core 24-bit PCM to 64-bit (internal format) conversion is about 4x faster.

3. Fixed: Clicking tab text did not work in build 145.
4. NEW: [b]Ceton InfiniTV 4 CableCARD television device support[/b].  It is still unfinished.  For example, live channel switching does not work.  You have to Stop one channel before starting another.
5. Fixed: Scan for television channels did not work in the last few builds.
6. Fixed: Configure button on Television Options window did not work.
7. Changed: [b]Digital television devices running in non-time-shifting mode also use Red October[/b] settings (previously Red October settings were used only in time-shifting mode).

3. Fixed: Manually switching tracks was not updating the playing file as quickly as expected for the last few builds.
4. Fixed: The Action Window navigation list was not using the proper background color with some skins.
5. Fixed: When linking a zone to another zone that was already playing, not all playback settings would by synchronized to the playing zone so they might change tracks at different points.
6. Fixed: Linked zones could account for drift in a slightly incorrect way across track transitions, causing an unnecessary resync (sounds like a pause and resume).

18.0.144 (3/6/2013)

1. NEW: DLNA audio conversion when using Convert Always, added more sample rates to convert to.
2. Fixed: Skins that used glass were not working nicely with webpage and other views that needed to disable glass.

4. Fixed: Showing a right-click menu could leave the focus in an undefined state.
5. Fixed: Drag-n-drop could leave the mouse "captured" by the source window so some mouse actions wouldn't work properly.

1. Fixed: The Move,copy,rename dialog was broken in the previous two builds.

18.0.142 (2/28/2013)

1. Fixed: Playing Now Overview was not working nicely.

4. Fixed: Television could crash with the last few builds in certain cases.
5. Changed: More work on keyboard focus system (shortcuts were not working in some cases, etc.).
6. Changed: MC18.exe /MCC allows a space after the comma (ie. "MC18.exe /MCC 10011, -1").
7. Fixed: Auto-complete path suggestions shown in a filename editor could output an extra backslash.
8. Fixed: Pressing tab to select an edit control suggestion could incorrectly shift the focus to the next control on the dialog.

18.0.140 (2/25/2013)

1. Fixed: Broken mp4 autofps transcoding.
2. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
3. Fixed: Keyboard shorcuts were not always working in some cases depending on the input focus.
4. Fixed: When closing a modal dialog, the input focus would not be restored to the control it was on before the dialog.
5. Fixed: Playing Now would not auto-size columns properly when loading when the auto-size option was enabled.
6. Fixed: Detached display visibility was following the parent window, so switching tabs would unexpectedly hide the detached display.
7. Faster: Returning from full screen image playback is faster.
8. Changed: DLNA: Only provide upnp:albumArtist (Twonky specific field) for devices that specifically request it. This will mostly affect display on renderers when MC is the controller. Some devices accept this field but it interferes with the standard items like {upnp:artist role=AlbumArtist}
9. Fixed: Starting bookmarked audio playback from a stopped state would put the position slider at zero instead of the bookmark position.

18.0.139

Experimental testing build not released to the public.

18.0.138 (2/22/2013)

1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
2. NEW: Handhelds get expanded video conversion profiles.
3. NEW: Added autofps mpeg4 conversions.
4. Fixed: Small typo in naming of Audio Calibration clips (Tools > Advanced Tools > Audio Calibration...).
5. Fixed: A file encoded to DSD (DSF format) using the JRiver encoder would show as 1/8 the length in Foobar.
6. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

Bug - "Update Tags from Library" wipes all physical tag information from Single FLAC File With Embedded Cue Sheet.   It does this in a destructive way that then prevents the same FLAC file from being imported correctly with an external CUE file.  (So the FLAC file has been damaged in some way, at least for metadata purposes.)

Background:

If you edit File Properties of many files at once (such as changing Genre), and then do "Update Tags from Library", if this includes albums as a Single FLAC or APE file with a separate CUE file, then you will get a count of "N Failures" where N is the number of tracks in those albums.   MC18 does not rewrite the CUE file that was the source of data, which is known and expected behavior.  It also does not do anything to the Single APE or FLAC file (and I tested, and that is still true with 155 - I tested with a CUE and FLAC file pair and a CUE and APE file pair).  So, you get the "N Failures" error message, and no physical files are changed at all.

But, if the metadata comes from an Embedded CUE sheet in a FLAC file, then "Update Tags from Library" will wipe all metadata from the FLAC file and damage it.

Note:

This is probably introduced in 154, although it could be earlier.

PS As long as we are on the subject of "Update Tags from Library", note that running it with SACD ISO files results in "0 Failures" despite the fact that the file cannot be written (and a later import from just the SACD ISO file will not include the metadata changes that "Update Tags from Library" is supposed to write.  So, there is a missing error report in that case.

Just put a CD in and MC18 is showing some very strange track times on all songs - 51.34, 1.11.49, 1.05.34 etc etc

Is this a bug?

I'm seeing this as well. Track 1 of a CD is actually 7:47 in length, but the CD says it's 1:43:57. The entire CD (already ripped) shows 1:09:19 but on this build it shows 15:25:23. It's also showing the size of the disc as 9.1GB in size, for an audio CD.   And when ripping, it shows the speed at 44.2x which is awesome if that could really happen but man that disc would be spinning at 10K+ RPM!

[rwwear]

This is happening to me as as well.

[rwwear]

In addition a window pops up and says I am low on disc space for my music library directory. Do is wish to continue? I have around 500GB left on my hard drive.

[JimH]

Check the locations of other directories under MC's File Locations options.  A temp directory, for example, may be getting low on space.

We can duplicate the CD problem, so it will be fixed next build.

I'm getting this message as well - and I have over 100GB free on all the File Locations.

[JimH]

Find any old thread and replace the last three numbers in the download link.

[SkGe]

The bug where you can select an item in smartlist edit, is still there and is not fixed, because when you want to add a new item in playlist need to be close and open again to work, this work on ver 17 but here...

[GaryWW]

I'm from Canada so if no one else has this issue, then maybe it's location related. If so, is there any fix?

[ronenash]

There are bugs in the ripping process.
1. Ripping speed is displayed incorrectly (showing 112x)
2. Every time a disk is inserted a prompt is displayed again to select what to do even if you are already in a ripping mode.

Auto import no longer works for me.
