The builds 20-26

16.0.26 (2/8/2011)

1. Changed: During image playback, the image edges have a subtle fade-out to make a smoother looking Pan & Zoom effect, and also to remove edge sparkle that can occur with some video drivers.
2. Changed: When grabbing the volume or position slider on the player at the top of fullscreen Display View, the player will not be hidden when the mouse leaves the window until the grab is released.
3. Changed: Renamed video smoothing feature in Options > Video to 'VideoClock (smooths video by adjusting audio)'.
4. Changed: Improvements to VideoClock so that it requires fewer and smaller audio rate changes.

16.0.25 (2/7/2011)

1. Changed: When restoring a library backup, a backup of the current library is not created before the restore when the current library is empty.
2. Faster: Loading of EPG / XMLTV data is around ten times faster.
3. Fixed: A typo in (television) Edit Channel List window.
4. Fixed: Hulu playback would show a solid black screen.
5. Changed: Tuned the width of the Theater View file info panel, especially for wide displays.
6. Fixed: Allow playback of 32 bit or greater integer formatted wavpack files.

16.0.24 (2/4/2011)

1. Fixed: MC2XML country code for United Kingdom was wrong.
2. NEW: Added 'Parametric Equalizer' DSP plugin.

16.0.23 (2/3/2011)

1. NEW: The browsing tree exposed to Gizmo or a DLNA device will update when the library changes (previously a restart of the server was required to see new or changed content).
2. Changed: When Play Doctor includes Last.fm tracks, it will put placeholder items in the list that will get substituted at playback time (because Last.fm tracks expire).
3. NEW: Netflix thumbnail and list views in Theater View now report whether titles have been "instant viewed" before and detail view shows the date and percentage of last viewing if file info panel is reset.
4. Fixed: Video conversion setting under Library Server did not "stick".
5. Changed: If a user customizes the temporary folder in Options > File Location, it will use that folder for all temporary files (previously the customized folder was only used in a few specific areas of the program).
6. NEW: Playback from Gizmo will update playback statistics and Scrobbles (requires updated Gizmo).
7. NEW: Playback on a DLNA device like the J. River Id, PS3, etc. will Scrobble the play when Last.fm Scrobbling is enabled on the server.
8. SDK: Updated SDK MJPlaybackAutomation object to better support DLNA or Library Server zones.
9. NEW: Add DLNA version 2 support. Check for problems with version 1.x devices (most devices).
10. Fixed: Remove extra nulls from POST body in DLNA control.

16.0.22 (2/2/2011)

1. Changed: Refined how some Quicktime file types are routed to different playback engines. Fixes mixed m4a, mp3 playback issues.
2. Changed: Reduced to one the number of UAC prompts that pop up when video conversion is performed for the first time.
3. Fixed: There was no progress message when downloading and installing DirectShow filters for m4a files.
4. NEW: DSP plugins can report their internal latency, providing better audio quality when doing audio rate adjustment during video playback.
5. NEW: Last.fm submitter maintains a queue of submissions instead of a single submission so when there's no internet or Last.fm is having problems, there is no performance impact on the program and Scrobbles don't get dropped.
6. Changed: When auto-import folder watching encounters problems, it tries to reopen watches a few times and then gives up if there are continued errors (hopefully fixes issue when resuming from standby while watching certain network shares).

16.0.21 (2/1/2011)

1. Fixed: The alphabet at the top of a view would not work in category views.
2. NEW: Revised clocking used when 'Adjust audio rate to maintain video sync' is enabled (thanks to madshi for all his help).
3. Changed: Improved YouTube support to understand the latest formats (including 4K HD MP4).
4. Changed: Improved performance when starting a YouTube video.
5. NEW: Added Options > Services > YouTube > Playback bitrate for selecting bitrate / quality used when playing from YouTube (downloads still always use the highest quality avaialble).
6. NEW: Added Options > Video > Synchronize playback clock with video hardware.
7. Fixed: When the volume Id for a CD disc was not available, an incorrect database entry could get created and ripping could commence with the wrong track data.
8. Fixed: When switching playback engines (from a natively supported audio file like an MP3 to a Quicktime file like an M4P) could block waiting for the first file to finish.

16.0.20 (1/28/2011)

1. Changed: Dutch language translation updated. (thanks bennyd)
2. Changed: Analyzer DSP lines (and other lines in the program) are drawn with anti-aliasing for a smoother look.
3. Fixed: Android video conversion was not working.
