8. Fixed: When switching to a new track that was slow to start, 'Buffering...' could blink in the player window.
9. Fixed: When recording television in transport stream format, some recordings included all subchannels.
10. Changed: Ogg and flac tags map database PUBLISHER to ORGANIZATION, database ORGANIZATION (if existing) to JR_ORGANIZATION, and if there's an ALBUM ARTIST write it out as both ALBUM ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST. Read either, ALBUM ARTIST preferentially.
11. Changed: (internal) streamlined a bunch of code in the flac input plugin.

15.0.98 (8/17/2010)

1. Fixed: Bass removal with Room Correction was not working properly since the switch to a 64-bit audio data path.
2. Changed: Updated DLNA to show a friendly comment in Windows networking for J. River DLNA servers and renderers.

7. Changed: Switched DLNA root container artwork to use JPEG format to improve compatibility with DLNA devices that don't support PNG images.
8. Changed: The high-quality image overlay is only used during image playback if it provides more detail than the hardware accelerated view (prevents visible image shift from the overlay when not needed).
9. Optimized: Improved performance of starting playback from a Library Server.
10. Fixed: Media Editor could hang when saving a file.

15.0.96 (8/13/2010)

1. NEW: Media Center uses a purely 64-bit (double) audio data path, including format conversion and all included DSPs.
2. NEW: VST DSP plug-ins use 64-bit processing when the plug-in supports it.
3. NEW: Media Center is bit-perfect when playing 64-bit input files.
4. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).
5. Fixed: Television subscription recording did not allow multiple subscriptions of the same program at different times.

15.0.94 (8/11/2010)

1. NEW: When playback fails, the player will see if configuring the Output Format DSP could fix the failure, and if so, it will offer to automatically make the adjustments.
2. Fixed: The 'Help' button on the 'File Types' options dialog went to the wrong topic.
3. Optimized: Reworked ASIO pipeline to improve buffer fill performance and remove any thread locking -- fill callback over 15% faster on a multi-core system, more on a single-core system.
4. Changed: Process memory cleanup performed when switching views or minimizing the program could cause a playback hiccup with some audio hardware (cleanup no longer done while playing).
5. NEW: Netflix in Theater View "Connected Media" now shows individual TV shows from a season disc rather than one entry for the entire season.
6. Fixed: If MC is scheduled to record a television program with extended end time that is more than 5 minutes beyond the program end time, the next program could not be scheduled to be recorded.
7. Fixed: Ogg tagging fixes. Wasn't reading REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN properly and wasn't writing the mapped tags properly.
8. Changed: Ogg and FLAC tag writing does DISCNUMBER instead of DISC #, on writing, if DISC # exists, it's deleted. On reading if DISCNUMBER doesn't exist we look for DISC# (as well as the MEDIAJUKEBOX: variants).
9. NEW: Added ability to dither output when outputting 8-bit or 16-bit data (selectable in DSP Studio > Output Format > Bitdepth).
10. Changed: MC no longer requires the presence of "Recording Rule ID" tag in a video file to treat it as a television recording. MC now requires Genre field to be filled with "TV Recordings" for a video to be considered recorded television show.

15.0.93 (8/9/2010)

1. Fixed: MC would crash as a Library Server client when user tried to cancel a television subscription recording (build 92 only).
2. Changed: Saving and loading of VST plugin settings and presets works nicely with more plugins like Span, Console, or other chunk-based setting plugins.
3. Changed: Camera enumeration used by Action Window > Camera does enumeration in a low priority background thread so devices that are slow to enumerate do not cause the user interface to be unresponsive.
4. Changed: If the WIA subsystem has a critical failure when enumerating cameras, it will not be used again for the remainder of the program run.
5. Changed: Ogg tags. Incorporate JR_DATE precision date if the date is not just a year.
6. Fixed: Ogg replay gain was set from the tags even if it didn't exist.

The builds 88-92

5. Changed: When acting as a DLNA server, if the automatic album artist is '(Multiple Artists)', this will be provided to clients connecting to the server.
6. NEW: Television recordings can now be scheduled on a Library Server client, and the actual recording will happen on the Library Server.
7. Changed: If a user does not explicitly pick a channel output mode with DSP Studio > Output Format, mono will automatically be output as two channel mono (can still force one channel output by enabling and configuring Output Format DSP).
8. Changed: Improved energy preservation math in Room Correction bass redirection system.
9. NEW: DLNA Controller will work without the DLNA server enabled. This means you can load a library (read DLNA server) and direct the output to a DLNA renderer with MC doing the controlling.

15.0.91 (8/5/2010)

1. Changed: Room Correction no longer considers channels with no data (because of 2.1 mixing) when calculating the maximum possible gain.
2. Fixed: After snapping the program to the edge of the screen, a single-click of the titlebar would unsnap it.
3. Changed: Snapping to the edges of the screen only happens if the mouse is stopped near the edge for a little delay, so dragging quickly between screens won't cause the program to jump around.
4. Changed: When connected to a Library Server, zones from the server will not appear as DLNA zones if they're also "There: " zones.
5. Changed: Library Server zones will get the same zone ID each connection so that settings like zone link timing persist between runs.
6. Fixed: After loading a different library, the Media Network engine (servers, DLNA control, etc.) would not be restarted automatically.

15.0.90 (8/4/2010)

1. Changed: Reworked zone presentation so that they are more hidden until there is more than one zone.
2. Changed: High resolution tooltips use Media Server client conversion settings, making display of RAW or other large images much faster (enable conversion in Options > Media Network).
3. Fixed: Right-clicking a non-active zone and picking 'DSP Studio...' or 'Playback Options...' would show dialogs for the current zone instead of the clicked zone.
4. Changed: DSP Studio shows a zone name instead of a zone ID in the titlebar.
5. Changed: When linking zones, if only one is playing, whatever is playing will begin playback in both zones.
6. NEW: When linking zones, if both are playing, a dialog will ask what zone to keep playing from.

8. Fixed: When first linking two zones, the master zone would not update its playback settings to not suppress silence until switching to the next track.
9. Fixed: When linked zones drifted apart, they would not always be restarted after stopping them when the current track finished.
10. Fixed: Theater View did not work nicely on a touch screen where a mouse move was not simulated before a click.

4. Changed: Visualization Studio is available again for 2D visualizations.
5. NEW: Chapters support for audio played in DirectShow.
6. Changed: OGG tags: Write new style replay gain and peak level tags with +-6db adjustment from MC's internal values. When writing the new tags, removes any old style tags. When reading tags and new style doesn't exist, uses the old style tags.
7. Changed: Scrolling a list with the mouse wheel without moving the cursor would not properly show tooltips when scrolling stopped.
8. Changed: Loading of high-resolution image tooltips is better threaded to avoid lags while an image loads.
9. Faster: Loading of PSD files is many times faster.

15.0.88 (8/2/2010)

1. Fixed: Spectrum analyzer visualizations did not move.
2. Fixed: The time was not appearing at the root of Theater View.
3. Fixed: The program would allow a user to delete all zones, causing a crash.
4. Fixed: It is no longer possible to delete a DLNA or Library Server zone. (use Options > Media Network to configure if remote zones should appear)
5. Changed: Added Options > General > Advanced > Reset saved Internet passwords... to allow clearing any stored internet passwords.
6. NEW: A new password dialog is shown when connecting to protected sites or Library Servers. Choosing 'Save password' will save the password between runs (previously it asked once each run for the password).
7. Fixed: Connecting to a Library Server from behind a passworded proxy did not always work nicely.
8. Changed: When downloading a resource in the background (Podcasting, Online Slideshow, etc.) URLs that require passwords will silently fail instead of showing password prompts.
9. Changed: The dialog for adjusting link timing is wider and has a smaller range (-2 seconds to +2 seconds) to allow easier control.
10. Fixed: When stopping linked zones, they could restart again.
11. Changed: Previous / Next commands work properly with linked zones.
12. Changed: When syncing linked zones, if any of the zones in the link are remote the delay before resuming is longer so that the remote zone has a chance to do any prebuffering.
13. Changed: When first creating a zone link, a DLNA zone from another Media Center could stay paused instead of starting playback.
14. Changed: When using linked zones, if any of the zones are remote, playback stops after each file and then starts up again in a few seconds (since controlling cross-fading, etc. isn't possible with remote zones).

1. Fixed: Television recordings in transport stream format did not show up in Television > Recordings views.
2. Changed: When playing to linked zones, playback statistics are no longer counted multiple times.
3. Changed: When zones are linked, the between tracks and seek modes will inherit from the first zone in the link.
4. Changed: Leading and trailing silence suppression is disabled when zones are linked, as the amount of trailing silence removed can vary slightly based on buffer states, making it cause sync problems.
5. Changed: Seeking in linked zones works more reliably.
6. NEW: Linked zones monitor drift and if too much drift occurs, playback is stopped at the end of the current file and then the next track is started in sync. (a user can force a manual sync any time by pausing playback)
7. Changed: MCWS Control/Key function supports key combinations like Ctrl;C, Ctrl;Shift;Left, etc.
8. Fixed: After the initial setting of the values of audio jump behavior (number of seconds to jump forward or backward), subsequent changes were ignored.

5. Fixed: In place editing would get disrupted if an update message caused the display to be redrawn (from ripping, importing, etc.).
6. Changed: Disabling of DirectShow filter tray icons (FFDShow and Haali) is now optional. The option is under Startup.
7. Changed: Removed 'Find CD' and 'Artist Info' and merged them into the links bar. (sorry, links storage format has been reset and user customization must be redone)

15.0.85 (7/28/2010)

1. Changed: Linked zones work better with DLNA devices.
2. Changed: DLNA zones have the same ID each run of the program so settings like link timing persist nicely.

9. Changed: Putting the system to sleep will not stop playback automatically. (system will still allow a manual deep sleep (S3) while playing, but Media Center will prevent an automatic sleep)
10. Fixed: Some types of searches would not preserve the sequence number properly.
11. Changed: The 'Rename, Move & Copy Files' dialog auto-sizes columns on load and resize.
12. Changed: DLNA, Advanced options. If "present subtitle resources" is not checked subtitle resources will not be presented in the Content Directory under ANY condition, even if explicitly asked for. Prevents hard resets on some renderers.
13. NEW: Added DVB-T frequency table for Greece. Thanks to Arbiter for providing the info.
14. Changed: Ignore anything past the first 4 digits in a FLAC vorbis DATE tag.

15.0.67 (6/25/2010)

1. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks to KANEY).
2. NEW: Bass management in DSP Studio > Output Format allows specifying a bass routing mode of remove, move, or copy.
3. Changed: Bass management uses a 24 dB/octave lowpass for creating redirected bass (previously used a 12 db/octave slope).
4. Changed: Tuned JRSS mixing level used when creating a LFE channel.
5. Changed: The previously selected file in Theater View > Playing Now > List will no longer be drawn bold if the list is not focused.
6. NEW: AVI videos can be streamed from Library Server using "J. River URL Reader" filter, so one does not have to wait for the entire file to be downloaded before playback starts.
7. Changed: Improved messaging of import when it's importing a large library as it, by design, works in batches of 10,000 files.
8. NEW: Added Output Format subwoofer crossover choice "Silence (use Room Correction or other DSP to fill)".
9. Changed: Made the 'Output Format' DSP a two-column layout with more verbose explanation of settings.
10. Fixed: Closing the program with Media Server running could stop playback in attached DLNA / Library Server zones.
11. NEW: Preliminary .srt and .sub subtitle support for the DLNA server. The subtitle file should be the same name as the original video file in the same path with either a .srt or .sub extension depending on what your renderer supports. Tested working with Popcorn hour. Needs more testing. The number of renderers that support this seem limited.

15.0.66 (6/24/2010)

1. Fixed: DLNA video conversion works now - was broken.
2. Changed: Improved the ordering of 'Bass Management' effects chain in 'Room Correction' DSP.
3. Changed: The 'Tone' Room Correction tool plays the tone adjusted by all other adjustments. (previously played full amplitude, unadjusted tone)
4. Fixed: 'Bass Management' settings were not properly persisting between sessions.
5. Changed: Improved Bass Management high-pass / bass redirection filters to offer higher quality. (done as two independent intersecting filters to allow curve tuning on each)
6. Fixed: MC would crash when it failed to convert certain audio formats.

The builds 59-65

15.0.65 (6/23/2010)

1. Changed: Playback prevents automatic system sleep, but does not disable a full manual sleep (S3).
2. Changed: Putting the system to sleep manually will stop any playback.
3. NEW: DLNA servers allow selection of a video conversion mode.
4. Changed: When closing Options with the 'X' at the top right, the save / discard message has a 'Always use this answer' checkbox.
5. Changed: The Browse... button in auto-import folder list allows typing a folder name.
6. Changed: When typing a folder name in a Browse folder dialog, the tree will auto-synchronize with the typed path.
7. Fixed: With a fresh library, the automatic import countdown in the Action Window could run even when manually picking 'Import...' from the menu.
8. Fixed: Doing a 'Restore Library' and only restoring the settings would not work properly.
9. Changed: After restoring settings during a 'Restore Library', the success message informs the user to restart the program for setting changes to take effect.
10. Fixed: When saving a file with encoding in Media Editor, a temporary WAV file could be left behind.
11. Changed: Cross-over used for LFE channel during JRSS mixing uses a 24db/octave slope. (previously used a lesser slope)
12. Fixed: Library Server, client, and J. River URL Reader filter did not handle streaming of files larger than 2 GB correctly.
13. NEW: Added 'Bass Management' section to DSP Studio > Room Correction.
14. Changed: External dependencies such as lame, gogo, ogg, mpc, and ffmpeg are now silently installed on demand into AppData to avoid UAC prompts.
15. Fixed: Closing a dialog while a combobox was open could cause a crash.

15.0.64 (6/21/2010)

1. Changed: More improvements to image conversion system used by DLNA, WebPlay, etc.
2. Fixed: When starting playback, album art could be loaded twice instead of only once.
3. Fixed: Playing YouTube video in Theater View did not work, causing MC to trigger downloading the video outside of MC.
4. Optimized: Starting playback with a Library Server client is faster when converting to MP3.
5. NEW: Gizmo pauses playback when a phone call arrives, and unpauses when the call is finished.
6. NEW: Gizmo holds a partial wake lock during playback to prevent the phone from going to sleep or from turning off the data connection.
7. NEW: Improved Gizmo image playback.
8. NEW: Added video conversion options for Library Server clients. (still a work in progress)

15.0.63 (6/17/2010)

1. Fixed: DLNA playback of images with conversion enabled would not honor EXIF rotation.
2. NEW: DLNA image conversion is done in such a way that a device will not know the image is being converted -- full content length provided, ranged requests supported, etc. (should make image conversion work for all DLNA devices)
3. Internal: Library Server, MCWS, and DLNA server code for handling media files and conversion merged.

15.0.62 (6/17/2010)

1. NEW: Added caching layer for media file serving to Library Server so requesting the same file multiple times in a short time frame won't require multiple analysis or conversion processes.
2. NEW: Added Library Server client option to convert images.
3. NEW: When using WebPlay / Gizmo, images are converted to a lower resolution.
4. Changed: When playing images from Library Server, the previous / next caching was not working nicely.

6. Changed: When connected to a library, the 'Connect to Library...' command is replaced by a 'Disconnect from Library' command.
7. Changed: Added new command 'Sync Changes with Library Server' to Library menu to allow manual sync of client changes. (no longer use 'Sync Library...' command -- that is for downloading a library and playlists from a server)
8. Changed: Simplified the 'Connect to Library...' dialog so there's only one choice for connecting to a Library Server.
9. NEW: Image playback is hardware accelerated, providing smoother visuals when zooming and scrolling. [experimental]
10. NEW: Image playback draws a pixel-perfect overlay when zooming and scrolling stop (most noticeable on systems with low supported texture sizes or when zooming in on huge images)

15.0.59 (6/14/2010)

1. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
2. Changed: Updated Theater View News for better support of The Onion, Comedy Central Jokes, BBC, Interact, etc.
