2. NEW: Replacing slashes in expressions is optional in Rename, Move, & Copy Files.
3. Fixed: Cross-fades could play incorrectly between varying sample rates.
4. Fixed: After removing a file from the library of a smartlist, it could switch to showing the entire library.

4. Changed: Improved the resilience of MPO image parsing.
5. Fixed: An empty date (or empty other field) could sort in an indeterminate manner.

19.0.154 (7/18/2014)

1. Fixed: MC would not correctly parse some DVD's with an unusual authoring scheme.  The result was that we did audio analysis on the wrong title (like one of the very short menu titles).
2. Fixed: When editing an existing OpenCable television channel, the existing channel number was not automatically filled in.
3. Fixed: When creating a new STB channel, or editing an existing STB channel, MC did not offer IR device and port selection boxes.
4. Fixed: Field names with a dash in them cause problems when selecting them in a Smartlist for the sort criteria.
5. Fixed: Some expressions would evaluate incorrectly in the last build.
6. Changed: Increased Netflix API timeout length to 10 minutes as some API calls take longer than they should.
7. Fixed: When editing or creating a DVB television channel, "Is DVB2" checkbox was not offered.

19.0.153 (7/16/2014)

1. Fixed: Removing a zone didn't stop playback in the zone.

3. Fixed: Expressions could be stale in certain cases.
4. Changed: MC handles system power events slightly differently.
5. Changed: DLNA will send subtitle resources with the option checked even if DLNAExtra is disabled.
6. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun!).
7. NEW: Added MCWS/v1/Playback/UpdatePlayStats to update the play stats for a file.
8. Fixed: The player could inherit the sample rate of the last file for the next file.

19.0.152 (7/14/2014)

1. Changed: When playing with real-time DSD output, a sample rate change of the input won't reset the output DAC.
2. Changed: DLNA sample time when not controlling a zone backed off to 2 seconds.
3. NEW: DLNA will play to stream only devices (i.e. Raumfeld Speakers).
4. NEW: DLNA subscribing to Rendering Control events structure added.
5. Changed: DLNA device alive call using GetTransportSettings (which is required by the spec).
6. Fixed: Double-click on the lamp shade for party mode password circumvention wasn't working.  Note that Control and Shift must be held during the double-click.

19.0.151 (7/11/2014)

1. Fixed: Get Movie & TV Info was getting a low resolution image from Rotten Tomatoes.
2. Faster: Browser components cache their expression so using a big expression in a pane is faster.
3. Fixed: Skinned scrollbars and possibly other resources would not shrink properly when drawing.
4. NEW: Audio-only television channels (DVB) can now be played in time-shifting mode.
5. Fixed: Format conversion could fail.

19.0.150 (7/9/2014)

1. Fixed: When scheduling television recordings in Theater View, default recording settings "Cleanup mode" and "Auto Tagging" were not applied.
2. Changed: Added ability to edit "Cleanup Mode" when scheduling television recordings in Theater View.
3. Changed: Added 'Date Recorded' as a sorting preset for Category views.
4. Fixed: Really big expressions (many paragraphs) could cause a crash.
5. Changed: JRiver servers respond with a X-JRiver-Access-Key field stating the access key (so devices could auto-connect).
6. Fixed: Content that was 352,800 Hz would not play properly in the "No change" sample rate mode.
7. NEW: Added '4xDSD in native format' to the real-time DSD encoding choices.

19.0.149 (7/2/2014)

1. Fixed: After deleting files from a Smartlist, the list would not always update properly.
2. NEW: Added a "Save settings as defaults" button on television recording wizard, to save certain settings, including auto tagging, to be applied in subsequent recordings when they are scheduled.
3. Fixed: The previous build (148) was not showing files on handheld devices.
4. Fixed: MCWS/v1/DSP/Set changes didn't take effect until a dialog was shown (now changes take effect right away).
5. Changed: MCWS/v1/DSP/Set takes a zone parameter.
6. Fixed: The minimize button in the player could draw stretched in Mini View mode.
7. Fixed: Send To > Gallery > Flickr was not working.

19.0.148 (6/30/2014)

1. Fixed: Skinning supports over-sized radio buttons.
2. Fixed: Skinning supports over-sized search clear buttons.
3. Fixed: Some files in TS (transport stream) format would not play on LS clients.
4. Changed: The text drawing engine will allow a newline after an underscore character _, so that text that uses underscores will flow more naturally in a list.
5. Changed: Added an example to MCWS/v1/DSP/Set to show users how to use it.
6. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks Regis!).
7. Changed: For Mac/Linux compatibility, the handheld plugin now uses a custom interface rather than using MC's automation interface.
8. Fixed: The visualization plugin could crash in recent builds.

2. Fixed: The size of the thumbnail size slider would be one pixel different between the top and bottom lists.
3. NEW: Rewrote the Theater View > Shoutcast implementation using an official API key.
4. Changed: Updated French translation (thanks Regis!).
5. Changed: AVerMedia HD Capture video capture device will use Red October Standard/HQ/Custom selection of video renderer, instead of Windows default renderer.
6. Changed: Red October Standard/HQ/Custom selection of video renderer will be used with Video capture devices with hardware compression in non-timeshifting mode (it has already been done previously for timeshifting mode).
7. NEW: Added MCWS/v1/DSP/Set function for turning a DSP on or off.

19.0.146 (6/25/2014)

1. Changed: Improved WPL exporting.
2. Changed: When all tracks from an album have multiple artists but all the tracks have the same list the first artist will be used for Album Artist (auto) instead of (Multiple Artists).
3. Fixed: Television recording option text "Keep recording after the program ends (use negative value to stop early) by:" was too long to fit in window if larger font was used.
4. Changed: Updated Chinese language files (thanks kelijun).

19.0.145 (6/23/2014)

1. Changed: Season is enabled for audio.
2. Changed: Added support for MPGV files.
3. Changed: Tracks with multiple artists will use (Multiple Artists) for Album Artist Auto.
4. Changed: On edit television channel list window, added a "Save Channel Order" button.  Channel ordering will not automatically be saved if a user only clicks the channel header.  If the user uses Move Up/Down to change ordering, a confirmation dialog will be displayed upon leaving such mode.
5. Changed: When removing the playing file from Playing Now the next file will start playing.
6. Changed: The field "Involved People" maps to the ID3v2 tag IPLS.
7. Fixed: Seeking in Gizmo was not working in 19.0.144.

19.0.144 (6/20/2014)

1. Changed: Sample rate conversion can specify different values for 352,800 and 384,000 input sample rates.
2. Changed: MCWS/v1/File/CreateParticle returns created keys as a Keys parameter.
3. Fixed: DVD Title Playback offers all audio streams, instead of only one.
4. Faster: Converting audio to 64-bit for internal processing is up to 50% faster.
5. Fixed: Parsing of some JSON formatted web results was incorrect, especially arrays of data.  Could affect results from Youtube, Facebook, TheMovieDB, Rotten Tomatoes and others.
6. Changed: Reworded "Start recording early by:" to remind users that they can use negative values to delay starting of recording a television show.
7. Changed: Merged DVBC frequency tables Switzerland.cablecom.xml and Switzerland.UPC Cablecom.xml
8. Changed: DLNA sends alive messages when it resumes from standby.

Playing a playlist with a mix of PCM and DSD, when a DSD track ends the last few seconds of the track is repeated indefinitely if the next track will be PCM. The next track info is showed but it never starts and the player stays stuck in the last few seconds of the previous DSD track.

I got PCM upsample to DSD 5.6 by default. Starting from 19.0.152,

"1. Changed: When playing with real-time DSD output, a sample rate change of the input won't reset the output DAC."

When I first played a PCM file, the upsample worked as before. But then if a DSD2.8 file follows, the DAC (TEAC UD501) keeps using 5.6 and hence noise as a result. I am not sure why 19.0.152 had to do that, but please fix this asap.  :'(

That's a weird one.

Try different audio output modes in Options > Audio.

Also, try resampling everything to one rate in DSP Studio > Output Format.

Tried setting all to 96kHz, and MC sutil crashes. It started with 152.

So it won't play any FLAC file at 96 kHz?  What if you try other files to rule out bad files?

IT plays all flacs OK. MC only crashes when the current song ends and trķes to play the next song. Before I said It  started with 152. Sorry I Restored to 152 and all plays OK.

My PC is connected to a Yamaha receiver with HDMI.

I've just found out that this issue only happens when DoP is used.
I also noted that the length of the "loop" is related to the size of the prebuffer. The longer the prebuffering the more the player goes back in the DSD track and keeps repeating.

Category views are broken in this build.

If I have a category view that is:
  • Album Artist (auto)
  • Album
  • Description

Double-clicking on Album Artist (auto) is listing all albums in my library, not all albums belonging to that Artist.

This version doesn't like to play dsf files to the end. Downgraded to 155 and all is well.

Sounds like this might be related to a couple other posts on here - figured the more symptoms the better...  When queuing multi-channel files, Media Center is chopping off the last second or two.  It happened with both a dsf file and a flac file.  I did not notice it with stereo files, but perhaps there was just more empty space at the end.  I had Do Not Play Silence off and it happened whether I had gapless or 1 or two seconds gaps configured.  Downgrading to version 146 solved it.
