The builds 4-8

16.0.8 (1/12/2011)

1. Changed: WebPlay / WebRemote 'Customize views...' have merged into a single 'Customize views...' for all of Library Server, which is also shared by MCWS and Gizmo.
2. Fixed: After auto-matching channels when loading the EPG, the list would not redraw to show the matches.
3. Fixed: RFC-822 date generation was not working, causing problems with EPG loading.
4. Faster: Improved cover art lookup system to better handle files with no metadata or TV programs with no series (makes EPG import much faster).
5. Fixed: Displaying a duration like '2 hours 7 minutes' was not working properly.
6. Changed: Switching libraries or starting to restore a library will cancel a pending empty library auto-import.
7. Changed: When loading a library once the program has started and loaded a library, picking 'Cancel' on the failed to load of the new library dialog will load the last library instead of close the program.
8. Changed: Added 'Add Library...' item to libraries in tree so a library can be added without a right-click.
9. Changed: When adding a library, the dialog asks for a library name.
10. Changed: After a server receives changes from a client, it starts any necessary background file tagging (previously only happened on UI interaction).
11. Changed: When acquiring images from a camera, the file system dates of the acquired files are set to exactly match the dates of the files on the camera.
12. SDK: Improved performance of MCWS/v1/File/GetImage call when requesting a thumbnail (makes Gizmo faster).
13. SDK: MCWS/v1/File/GetImage allows requesting different thumbnail sizes using a ThumbnailSize parameter (makes Gizmo faster when using a v16 server).
14. NEW: Improved Netflix full screen handling in Theater View. Experimental - some things may not work in this build.
15. NEW: Search box suggestion system got smarter: sorts matches by quality, handles misspellings, returns relevant matches even if their name doesn't match what was typed (i.e. typing 'jewel christmas' returns 'Joy - A Holiday Album').

16.0.7 (1/11/2011)

1. Changed: The OSD window will show 'shifted 2.5 hours' instead of 'shifted 2 hours 28 minutes' when crossing the one hour boundary.
2. NEW: It's possible to create user-created fields with a data type of 'Date'.
3. Changed: When entering a date with no year, if the date entered is close to the previous or next year, that will be used. (i.e. entering 12/28 early in January resolves to the previous year instead of the new year)
4. Fixed: Playback would not silently advance to the next track after a Windows Media DRM error inside a playlist.
5. Changed: Made automatic import countdown shown in the Action Window after loading an empty library more prominent with a longer countdown and larger text.
6. SDK: MCWS/v1/Control/MCC allows targeting a specific zone using zone parameters instead of requiring the zone index get embedded into the parameter.
7. Fixed: Television Playing Now OSD info showed incorrect next program start time if it was over an hour.
8. Fixed: Some digital television devices with combined tuner-capture filter (such as REALTEK DTV Filter) did not work.
9. Fixed: MPEG2 conversion wasn't streaming in DLNA server.
10. NEW: Added user configurable overrides (in Advanced DLNA server options) for video mimetype and DLNA type when MPEG hack is selected.
11. NEW: Add DLNA server profile for Sony BD and TV's. Makes video work.
12. NEW: Add DLNA server profile for Samsung BD and TV's.
13. NEW: Add DLNA server profile for the J. River Id.

16.0.6 (1/7/2011)

1. Changed: When there was only a single playback zone, it would not appear properly in the tree.
2. Changed: Revised how install-path relative replacement is done to work better with import settings, library locations, etc. on a portable install.
3. Changed: Revised how cross-thread message pretranslation is managed to improve compatibility with madVR.
4. Changed: Obsidian Touchscreen (or other skins derived from Base 3.xml) will use left-alignment of rollers inside views.
5. Fixed: If thumbnails were not built for files, Action Window > Tag > Image could incorrectly report .
6. Changed: Revised how video display size management is done to improve compatibility with madVR.
7. NEW: Wikipedia language is now selectable from Options / Services.
8. NEW: Support for EAC generated disc id's in cdplayer.ini for importing CD meta-data from an EAC rip.
9. Fixed: Pausing playback on DLNA to the Id.
10. Changed: More precise setting of DLNA flags for all media types. Could help playback on some renderers.
11. Fixed: Mouse and keyboard sluggishness when playing video using madVR.
12. Fixed: Aspect ratio setting did not work correctly if Haali Video Renderer was used.
13. Fixed: Television could fail if the file folder for recording and time-shifting had not already been created.
14. NEW: Introducing new Play Doctor that can intelligently select and play from your library and other sources (work in progress). See Playing Now.

16.0.5 (1/4/2011)

1. Changed: Optimization to how Theater View (optionally) disables the screen saver or monitor power.
2. Changed: When restoring a library, the option 'Restore settings' is checked by default.
3. NEW: Reworked how library load failures are messaged and handled.
4. Changed: The tooltip for a library in the tree (play from source) shows the type and location.
5. Fixed: Adding a new library based on a URL was not working properly.
6. Fixed: In some cases, it was not possible to rename a library in the tree.
7. Fixed: The player bar would not update until a restart when renaming the current library.
8. Fixed: Video playback on android of MC TV files did not work properly - they had a green cast and double image.
9. Changed: Import folders are stored in an install-drive relative way on a portable install so that running auto-import will work more nicely.
10. Fixed: If two DVD's had the same volume name, ripping the second one would overwrite the first one.

16.0.4 (1/3/2011)

1. NEW: During television playback, the OSD for position will have "shifted xx minutes" in it when watching something that is currently recording.
2. Fixed: The HTML for directional quotes (“ and ”) would not get decoded properly in Theater View News, etc.
3. Fixed: Renaming the current library would not update the 'Playing from' item in the tree right away.
4. SDK: The launcher (MC16.exe) supports /Restart to restart the program.
5. Changed: After restoring a library and restoring settings, the program will automatically restart.
6. Changed: The playback state of remote zones is not shown in the tree unless the zone is active so that the program doesn't have to query inactive remote zones.
7. NEW: Video playback to android is now done via direct show filter graph.
8. Changed: Updated copyrights to 2011.
