JRiver Media Center 20.0.28 for Mac -- Available Here
« on: October 29, 2014, 02:33:48 pm »

This is the latest version of MC20 for Mac.  Please post bugs here.  Please start a new thread for anything requiring discussion.  Non-bug posts will be deleted.

Download: http://files.JRiver.com/mediacenter/channels/v20/latest/MediaCenter200028.dmg

20.0.28 (10/29/2014)

1. NEW: Video playback support!  It's brand new on Mac so there may be some issues.  Please test and report, thanks.
2. Fixed: Drop box not working in Add Library View / View As, also the drop box for Bitstreaming choices was not working.
3. Fixed: File name paths containing single quotes were failing to move/copy.
4. Fixed: Possible fix for text entry of Asian characters.  Please test and let us know.
5. Fixed: App is now signed to comply with latest Yosemite requirements.
6. Fixed: Some handheld syncs would fail due to very long filenames.
7. Fixed: AIFF files that have a tag that's one byte longer than the metadata will still import (previously we would fail to read the tags).

20.0.24 (10/18/2014)

1. Fixed: An inserted CD was not reliably being found by Media Center.
2. Fixed: The options dialog disappears and the app appears frozen if the user clicks on Media Center outside the dialog window.
3. Fixed: Web page links that wanted to open a new window were being ignored, now they open in an external browser.
4. Fixed: Backspace and tab keys weren't working right within web pages.
5. Fixed: Problems with developer certificate caused installation issues on some systems.
6. Fixed: Files not added to the sync queue when dragged onto the icon in the action Window.

20.0.14 (9/9/2014)

1. NEW: Audio CD ripping and playback.
2. NEW: Added "Add (artist)" to the playback commands so a full artist can be added to Playing Now.
3. NEW: Added Cover Art Scale to the Display View menu with an option to show the cover at 100%.
4. NEW: Added 'Date First Rated' field.
5. NEW: Added M3U8 as a playlist format for a handheld.
6. NEW: Added a volume command 'Enable volume when bitstreaming' to force the volume slider to stay active even if it's bitstreaming.
7. NEW: Added ListEqual(...) expression function to compare two lists (regardless of ordering).
8. NEW: Added Play > Add (album) to add full albums to Playing Now.
9. NEW: Description is shown in the tooltip if it's not empty.
10. NEW: Added a startup volume option for each zone.
11. NEW: Added 'Shuffle Selection' to playlist and Playing Now right-click menus.
12. NEW: Added the ability to show and hide zones (right-click the zone in the tree).
13. NEW: Added Play > Add (after current album) to play files after the current album ends.
14. Changed: English vs Metric can be selected in the language menu.
15. Changed: Selected values are at the top of the drop list in the Smartlist editor.
16. Changed: MC sets Bit Depth and Sample Rate for SACD files on import.
17. Fixed: Reporter "Audio Analyzed" always reported 100%.
18. Changed: Audio Analysis of files with only silence will mark the files as "No Audio" instead of trying to boost the volume by an extreme value.
19. Fixed: Crashing when dragging tracks to playlists, handhelds, etc.
20. Fixed: Tracks could not be dragged onto the handheld action window's "drop here" icon area.

This is a big deal.  Holy smokes!

We're decoding and rendering all inside Media Center!  It helps to have a certified video genius on staff.

On 10.6.8 i386 kernel, it always crashes whenever JRAnalyzer runs.

On Mac 10.9.5 this latest version makes certain graphic elements (icons etc) seemingly low res and scrambled enough so as to not recognize them.  The play/stop/rewind etc. buttons (among others) look 'ugly'.

Well, let me be the first to say...

I don't think there have been enough features to justify the upgrade.   ;)

Can't hit CMD+Q to quit in this version for some reason. Had to select it from the menu.

I split out the posts on:

1. NEW: Video playback support!  It's brand new on Mac so there may be some issues.  Please test and report, thanks.

Since that'll probably keep going through multiple builds.  If you have feedback (other than congrats) about the new Video support, post it over here:

John, I thought I'd confirm:  MC20 is passing Gatekeeper now without issue.  Thanks!

Code: [Select]
$ spctl -a -t exec -vvv "/Applications/Media Center 20.app"
/Applications/Media Center 20.app: accepted
source=Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: JRiver, Inc.

Good job!

Great work.
However, on my system and Yosemite, selecting display view ends up in making JRiver Media Center crash.
