20.0.57 (1/16/2015)

1. Fixed: DSP Studio presets could not be saved/loaded/deleted.
2. Fixed: Display view sometimes would become detached from Media Center and could remain showing over the top of other views.

20.0.54 (1/9/2015)

1. Changes and fixes from the mainstream. Note that if you are using client side volume leveling over DLNA and are using MC on multiple platforms, all builds need to be >=20.0.52 for this to continue to work.

20.0.52 (12/22/2014)

1. Fixed: The main application menu would often not be shown until the mouse was clicked within the app's window.
2. Fixed: If CD audio files were in playing now list and the CD device was removed, Media Center could crash if a DLNA device queried for the tracks.

20.0.51 (12/22/2014)

1. Fixed: In format conversion dialog, if a target directory was specified along with multiple levels, the converted file ended up in a strange land.
2. Fixed: In format conversion dialog, if a target directory was entered that did not exist or was not writable, the conversion would fail without a helpful message.
3. Fixed: DLNA serving of Ogg, MP3, MP4 files with conversion to uncompressed wave would fail on some devices because of an incorrect transcoded length value.
4. Fixed: Dates were not displayed with the locale settings in system preferences.

20.0.46 (12/9/2014)

1. Fixed: Cmd-Q fix didn't make it into previous build.
2. Fixed: File transfers to external devices (Handheld sync) were much slower than doing it via Finder.
3. Fixed: Some web views were not working (displaying blank page), like "connected media".
4. Fixed: Web Gizmo wasn't working.

20.0.45 (12/5/2014)

1. Changed: Cmd-Q now works properly for exiting the application.
2. Changed: Holding the Control key while clicking the left mouse button now works correctly for bringing up the context menu (right-click menu).

20.0.40 (11/21/2014)

1. Fixed: DLNA: MC as renderer, when receiving a SetNextAVtransportURI, MC was allowing the playlist to grow beyond 2 items which is incorrect. This caused playlist sync issues.
2. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, fix bug in event send when changing playlist position 1.
3. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller timing issue, make sure the first track is playing (for at least 5 seconds) before doing the SetNextAVTransportURI function.
4. Fixed: DLNA: MC as controller, when playlist position current +1 changes send a new SetNextAVTransportURI to devices that support it.
5. Fixed: The change from 20.0.31 (Back out library server hiding when the library is empty introduced in 19.0.71) missed the library server visibility (it was showing the DLNA servers).

Hi John and Bob

I cannot go on the 20.0.54 thread so let me start here again regarding clicking noise at the end of DSD 128 files. Same thing on 20.0.57.

You wrote
"
What is acting as the renderer in this case?  The next build will have some improvement for DoP handling over DLNA so try it out and see if it helps.  One thing I know is that if you're using Media Center as the renderer and you're sending DOP files, you don't want to use cross-fading, silence elimination, or other fancy playback features on the renderer end because it can cause problems with the DOP data."

Regarding this cross fading and silence elimination I can see this menu for the local player in options/audio but not for the DLNA/renderer Sotm SMS-100 player. When I go to options/network I do not have this cross fading options anymore....
Where should I change this set-up, I mean in which menu is this information ?

Thanks and Regards

Hi philoouu,
I'm pretty sure John was talking about MC and the renderer and controller when talking about the cross fade, etc.
It's probably because we don't have a DoPe capable DLNA renderer other than MC to test with.
In your case there are no adjustments to make.
So about this click, is it loud or soft? I assume the duration is really small since you are calling it a click.
I don't think John was able to reproduce anything obvious when we were testing..

[philoouu]

Thanks Bob

I sent all the information to sotm support. They will tell me if they can reproduce it with JRiver and/or different softwares with the same renderer and dac. I will let you know the answer as soon as I get it.

Regarding the noise it is a small click as if you put your diamond on your vinyl. You have the same sound if you move forwards/backward with the blue bar.
This in only for DSD 128 files.

One more thing; sometimes the song is playing with no sound (this happen only after a transition for one song the other). Just by doing pause/start the sound comes back. Any idea ? Not sure if this is limited to DSD128 or not, needs to investigate more.

Thanks, philoouu

20.0.57 (1/16/2015)

2. Fixed: Display view sometimes would become detached from Media Center and could remain showing over the top of other views.

The same still happens with Album View icons in the main window. The only way for me to get rid of it is taking an extra step via display view...

The Display View issue still happens as well but noticably less.

Didn't fix for me.

+3

[jlyness]

Am still having problems with a) frequent hangs requiring force quit and restart; b) inconsistent function of Command-Q to quit; c) tracks start playing after using the "rename" function to edit tags, thus losing my active playing list.

[rinoatomy]

I don't know if it was supposed to fix that but I just downloaded .58 version and still no fix for the stuck artwork.

[philoouu]

Just tested 20.0.58
DSD 128 and 64 file with renderer/dop does not produce sound after a the first song....and still a problem at the end of the song (loud click) for DSD 128.
Can you test with a renderer on your side to see if you have the same thing ?
Had to pause/start/move forwards/backwards the song to hear the sound again. Sometimes I have to do that a few times.
Hope you can find the bug with renderer DSD/DOP set-up. As it is now I cannot listen to DSD file anymore (renderer/dop set-up)
