    4. Changed: In Standard view EPG list will delay updating when EPG loading is running in the background.

    7. Fixed: The MCWS JSON file list would return an empty file entry instead of an entirely empty list if no files were found.

    11. Changed: Panel - The additional playback controls menu will now hide after making a selection.

Version 25.0.92
  • Release Date: Aug 16, 2019
  • 25.0.92 (8/13/2019)

    1. Fixed: The socket write timeout that was being set to the duration of a track from 25.0.86 has been removed (default is now 86400 secs) because it was causing issues with rendering devices that had paused playback and that pulled the entire track in one request.

    25.0.91 (8/9/2019)

    5. NEW: Added Television Advanced Option "Order File Delete confirmation options differently from non-TV media delete (permanent delete first) in Theater View". Default to true (current behavior).
    6. Fixed: Syncing with an empty filename rule would put the extension on the file twice.
    7. Fixed: Saving an empty filename rule for a handheld would not save properly.
    8. NEW: Added Television Guide Option "Center channel logos or names in Theater View guide" which can be set only if "Hide channel names in Theater View guide when channel logos are available" option is on.
    9. Fixed: Calls to Handheld/Sync before the handheld engine loaded devices would not work properly.

  • Release Date: Aug 3, 2019
  • 25.0.88 (8/1/2019)

    1. Fixed: The ideal height of the "Rename, Move, & Copy" dialog is calculated from a layout so should be better on high DPI.

    3. Changed: Updated Greek translation (thanks Panagiotis).
    4. Fixed: Cloudplay via PlayDoctor wasn't working right when no local library matches were found.
    5. NEW: Added a 'Play' button next to the Cloudplay search box when a search term is entered. This triggers playback of a Play Doctor playlist using the search term.

    25.0.87 (8/1/2019)

    1. Changed: Made the playing now playlist show this text during Play Doctor creation: Building a playlist. Might take a minute.
    2. Fixed: Tooltips could be incorrectly sized.

  • 25.0.86 (7/30/2019)

    1. Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
    2. Fixed: Panel - Cover art was not loading when playing certain streams, like Radio Paradise.

    3. Changed: The socket write timeout is set on a per-file served basis to the duration of the file + some padding.

    25.0.85 (7/29/2019)

    1. NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Reset window position settings to reset the placement of windows.
    2. Changed: Made the default height of options taller.
    3. Changed: The socket write timeout to prevent hung sockets introduced in 25.0.81 (30 seconds) was too small for devices that have large buffers resulting in stopped playback in the middle of a track. Set it to 300 seconds.

    25.0.84 (7/29/2019)

    1. Changed: Re-implemented TV channel to xmltv ID matching routine for DVB channels as well as OpenCABLE and STB channels. The more elaborate methods hopefully will improve matching accuracy, especially for DVB channels.
    2. NEW: Added the option to stop after a delay (for going to sleep). Look at Player > More Stop.
    3. Fixed: Mixing 7.1 surround channel in 2.1 or 3.1 output mode could result in some channel being lost, instead of being downmixed properly.
    4. Changed: The WASAPI and DirectSound output plugins will try to preserve the channel layout selected in Output Format instead of only going by channel count.
    5. Changed: When a TV channel is being watched on a client using a server tuner, and the user enters a new channel number using a remote control or keyboard, the client will request the server to serve the new channel.
    6. Changed: Tuned the show and hide times for menus so they work better on some systems.

    8. Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.81.

    11. Changed: DLNA: If we are controlling a zone check it's state on 5 second intervals even if it's not the current zone (was 20 secs).
    12. Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)
    13. NEW: DLNA: Added a controller option to ignore other controllers (for misbehaving renderers).
    14. Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).
    15. NEW: You can select a maximum play bitrate for Cloud Play files from the Play Doctor options menu (defaults to 1500Kbps).
    16. Fixed: Customizing the columns of a parent view would reset the columns of a child view.

    1. NEW: Added a 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital). Feedback appreciated.
    2. NEW: Added File > Export All to iTunes & iPhone to export your entire library instead of just a single playlist.
    3. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
    4. Changed: When you said to keep five downloads, it would keep five then download a sixth. Now it prunes to four before starting the download.
    5. Changed: The mode selection page on TV Recording setup wizard is also put inside a scrolling container to ensure all controls can be seen.
    6. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.

    12. NEW: Added the option to "Enable pane tagging" to the panes to allow tagging and the checkboxes to be turned off.
    13. NEW: Ctrl+Shift+V pasting will accept a series of strings on the clipboard (separated by newlines) and paste them into a single selected field.
