The builds 140-141

16.0.141 (7/27/2011)

1. Fixed: IR learning was not working properly.
2. Changed: Updated madVR to version v0.71 (fixes green tint in Red October HQ).
3. Fixed: Google Image click-detection was not working in some cases.
4. Changed: Tuning to instructions added in build 140 (only shown once per run, larger font size, better bubble sizing, etc.)
5. Changed: JRWorker will try to use EVR in thumbnail building if it is found on the computer. Previously JRWorker only tries to use EVR on Vista or higher OS's.
6. NEW: The sidecar subtitle selection will persist between plays, just like it does for stream-based subtitle selection.
7. NEW: When showing a message box in Display View when the last used user-interface mode was Theater View, the message box will be a Theater View style message instead of a Standard View style message.
8. Faster: Artist thumbnail views load much faster (previously switching to an artist view would wait while the cover art folder was analyzed but now this happens in a low-priority background thread; especially helpful if cover art is on a drive that spins down).
9. Changed: Display modes with an integer refresh rate of 23 or lower would not appear in Media Center.
10. NEW: When multiple playlists are selected in the tree, they can be deleted with a right-click.

16.0.140 (7/26/2011)

1. NEW: Added on screen instructions that appear when entering Theater View and Display View.
2. Fixed: Re-entering Theater View could crash in some cases.
3. Fixed: Red October playback could fail if a user installed an older Media Center build, then a new one, then an old one again. The filter pack could get out of sync.
4. Fixed: When simply dumping video graph info to a log file, Media Center could set a lock and attempt downloading a filter pack update.
5. Changed: When viewing a list of television recordings in Theater View from the same series, 'Watch' plays a single episode and 'Watch All' is offered to play all episodes (starting at the selected episode).

The builds 127-139

16.0.139 (7/25/2011)

1. Changed: Updated madVR to version v0.70.

2. Changed: Updated the French language translation (thanks to Jean-Guy Paquette).
3. NEW: Updated madVR to version v0.69 (which brings back the improved VideoClock performance when using madVR).
4. NEW: Updated the ffdshow used by Red October to the latest version.
5. Changed: Video width and height are filled in during import time, with expectation that more accurate values may be found later at thumbnailing time. Previously we only fill in the values at thumbnailing time.
6. Changed: Added LAV Video Decoder to the Red October + Additional Filters white list.
7. Fixed: Playing files that could not be found would show an error and then could leave the player in an in-between state.
8. Changed: Merged and improved the playback error messaging for Access Control filtering, NTFS permissions issues, optical discs that aren't found, etc.
9. Changed: If FFDShow video decoder fails to connect to video renderer, a second attempt is made with FFDShow's output formats narrowed to RGB.
10. Changed: When building DirectShow graph for ms-dvr/wtv files, video renderer will be changed to default renderer only if the default is EVR, and the change will not be made when the graph is built for thumbnailing.

1. Fixed: Party Mode was allowing a user to switch libraries.
2. Fixed: If Theater View failed to create a 3D device (due to madVR exclusive mode, etc.) it could lead to a crash.
3. Changed: madVR is auto-configured when first installed or when upgraded by Red October (user configuration performed after that will be preserved).
4. Changed: When LAV CUVID fails to connect to a video format with Red October HQ, a different decoder will automatically be used (previously it could result in a playback error).
5. Fixed: When filters and other dependencies were updated, some old files from the previous install were not cleaned up.
6. Changed: Added support for more Sub Station Alpha (ASS/SSA) formatting.

1. NEW: MC will show a warning popup when a user schedules too many television recordings to be handled by the available tuner devices.
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
3. Fixed: The path combobox on the Import Single Folder page could be tricky to type in while the import was searching for the recommended folders that are shown in the drop box.
4. Fixed: Import would not always read tags (only applies to last few builds).
5. Fixed: Clicking on a library root on an empty library could cause a crash.
6. NEW: Added native support for MicroDVD .SUB files (naming must use [Name]*.sub and be next to the video or in a 'Sub', 'Subs', 'Subtitle' or 'Subtitles' subfolder).
7. Changed: Export Playlist > Text File (delimited) uses UTF-16 instead of ANSI for better international character support.

4. NEW: Updated to version .30 of LAV audio and splitter directshow filters.
5. NEW: Updated to version .67 of madVR video renderer filter.
6. NEW: VideoClock slaves the audio exactly to the refresh rate of madVR using IMadVRRefreshRateInfo instead of running a separate monitoring thread (better accuracy, better performance, and no need for a device that can cause problems with exclusive mode).
7. Fixed: Audio track selection on DVD sources wasn't always working when sending to dlna and handheld devices.

16.0.131 (7/15/2011)

1. NEW: Added native support for SSA, ASS, and ASS2 text-based subtitle formats.
2. NEW: Added native support for sidecar subtitle files using SRT or IDX+SUB.

1. Changed: BDMV import now analyzes the physical file so that compression information, frame rate, duration, etc. are gathered (use Update Library (from tags) on existing BDMV files).
2. Fixed: Bookmarking would not be used for videos with no duration.
3. Fixed: Pseudo-surround detector could false positive in some cases.
4. Fixed: Possible hang from a circular reference when a relational field contained stacked files.
5. Fixed: Improved performance of the database when it contains many relational fields.
6. Fixed: DLNA conversion to MPEG2/DVD with PS3 compat switch set wasn't working on the PS3.
7. Changed: Parametric Equalizer changes are saved as they are made instead of at shutdown (so a crash won't cause settings to be lost).
8. Changed: When editing Parametric Equalizer parameters, the changes are applied after a user stops making changes for a bit (so typing "200" won't first load "2" then "20" then "200").
9. Fixed: Options > Video > Bitstreaming could show the incorrect value.
10. Fixed: Right-click menu did not work properly when time-shifting on certain analog television tuners.
11. Changed: Only the most recent "New Media Action" dialog is shown.

4. Fixed: DVD aspect ratio could be incorrect.
5. Changed: Updated Russian translation file (thanks to Vladimir).
6. NEW: Added a video playback option to allow compensating for audio / video synchronization issues due to input lag, custom DSP processing, etc. (Options > Video > Advanced > A/V sync correction milliseconds).
7. Fixed: Analyzing audio with multiple files at a time could lead to a hang.
8. Fixed: Pressing TAB in an edit-style option could lead to unexpected results.
9. Faster: Improved performance of core audio engine.

16.0.124 (6/30/2011)

1. NEW: When controlling a DLNA device, if the device is turned off and later turned on, playback will resume. Allows picking a mix playlist and then turning a device on and off to control music without requiring additional user interaction.

7. Fixed: Manufacturer name for JRService.exe was showing as "Unknown" in msconfig and other utilities for viewing services.
8. Changed: The DLNA server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This allows URL's (like streaming radio) to be played on devices that support it (like WDTV).
9. Changed: The TiVo server will not try to convert URL's in the database even if conversion is forced. This should allow mp3 URL's (like shoutcast) to be played. Needs testing.
10. Changed: Improved internal volume mode handling for video and DVD playback.

16.0.123 (6/29/2011)

The same as 16.0.122 (numbering error)

The builds 116-122

16.0.122 (6/29/2011)

1. Changed: When using Red October with additional filters, if a selected decoder will not connect, the standard Red October decoder will be used instead (previously playback would just fail).
2. Fixed: DLNA Push to WDTV renderers wasn't working. Broken since build 16.0.15
3. Changed: Right-click on a playing video always shows a 'Screen Grab' menu and when the commands aren't available (like with madVR, or when not paused with VMR), the menu contains an explanation.
4. Changed: Removed DVD option for ffdshow post processing (you can instead use FFDShow Raw as an additional filter if this is desired).
5. Fixed: If files were deleted from the database on a Library Server Client while a background library server sync was occurring, it could cause a crash.
6. Changed: More efficient loading / unloading of Red October filters.
7. Fixed: With Library Server authentication enabled, other copies of Media Center running on the network would not reliably discover the server.
8. Faster Television seeking (applies to recorded and time-shifted playback).

16.0.118 (6/23/2011)

1. SDK: The skinning engine supports selecting the view header background color when inactive by using ViewHeader::InactiveHeaderBackgroundColor in the skin.

The build 111

16.0.111 (6/14/2011)

1. Fixed: If you turned off JRSS without first unchecking "Move center to front L/R," it would still move the center to the front L/R even though the check box is greyed out.
2. Changed: Selecting chapters from the on screen display (OSD) happens when pushing left and right instead of requiring an enter key.

2. NEW: Added 'Volume Protection' volume option ( more information here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=64574 ).
3. Changed: Tuned JRSS 7.1 upmixing algorithm (better energy neutrality, and front mains are not used to generate the rears).
4. Changed: Using 'Clone side channels to rear speakers' in Output Format will copy surrounds to the rear speakers in 5.1 to 7.1 mixing.
5. Fixed: When connecting to a Library Server that required a password, the program could require clicking 'Retry' to finish the connection even if the entered password was correct.

The builds 104-105

16.0.105 (6/6/2011)

1. Changed: Subtitles named "(auto)" that match the audio language will be enabled by default (instead of selecting no subtitles).
2. Changed: Added the Microsoft MPEG audio and video decoders to the Red October white list.
3. Fixed: If a video failed to import (because it was corrupt, etc.), it could cause other files of that type to not import until the program was restarted.
4. Changed: When a video fails to fully parse, it's less likely to end up being imported as 'Data' instead of 'Video'.
5. Fixed: Doing fast seeks on time-shifted television could cause the seeks to queue up instead of pooling, so that video would continue seeking too long after stopping pressing buttons on the remote.
6. Changed: Mouse wheel over video seeks instead of zooms (use Ctrl+Wheel to zoom).
7. Changed: LAV source/splitter is now configured in Red October mode.

16.0.104 (6/6/2011)

1. Changed: Red October HQ uses madVR v0.62.
2. Fixed: MC crashed when right-clicking on a playing video and selecting ffdshow configuration. It's back to disabled in Red October mode.

16.0.103 (6/3/2011)

1. Changed: Improved how VideoClock works with signal breakups on over-the-air broadcasts.
2. Fixed: DSP Studio > Room Correction was using the incorrect channel order for the rear and surrounds with 8-channel output.
3. NEW: Parametric Equalizer can be used to add a configurable delay to any channels.
4. Changed (again): Red October will not use the Microsoft MPEG decoder with madVR because then no deinterlacing is performed for 1080i, etc. signals.
5. Fixed: The 'My TV'. 'My Music', etc. buttons on an MCE remote were not working (note that renaming or moving the stock Theater View layout can break these buttons).
6. NEW: When using the J. River audio engine for video playback, a fade-in is used after a seek (audibly more pleasant, and makes skipping commercials in television mostly silent).
7. NEW: madVR video renderer is now part of the standard filter pack and is automatically installed when needed. It is used in Red October HQ mode.

16.0.102 (6/2/2011)

1. Fixed: Subtitles would not work correctly with Red October when manually selecting 'ffdshow raw video filter'.
2. Changed: Added support for the DirectVobSub post-processor filter with Red October.
3. Fixed: Theater View backdrops from TheTVDB.com would not work properly for series with multiple database records where only one record was complete (like the Danish show Anstalten).

5. Changed: Added Red October support for .tivo file playback using the Tivo source filter.
6. Changed: Renamed the J. River bitrate monitor filters to "J. River Audio Monitor" and "J. River Video Monitor".
7. Changed: Theater View watch marks only appear for Netflix videos.
8. Fixed: When using VideoClock, lip sync could take longer than necessary to achieve after a seek when doing PAL slowdown (especially if a large buffer size was used in the audio output plugin).
9. NEW: Added the ability to move, copy, add, and swap channels to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer (use 'Mix channels' filter).
10. Changed: Red October settings are applied to time-shifting on digital television.
11. Changed: Parametric equalizer hides unneeded controls for a particular filter type instead of showing all controls and disabling some.

The build 101

16.0.101 (6/1/2011)

1. Fixed: Line 21 subtitles would be on by default instead of off by default with Red October (and the state reported by the menu or on screen display would be incorrect at first).
2. Changed: Red October uses a less demanding deinterlacing method by default, which works better with laptops and older computers.
3. NEW: Added 'Red October HQ' option that will use the highest quality settings available, but will only work nicely on a fast computer.
4. Fixed: DVD playback was not working on many Windows XP computers.
5. NEW: Red October HQ methods will default to madVR if it is installed on the system (except for DVD, since madVR doesn't currently support DVD nicely).
6. Changed: Red October will use the Microsoft MPEG decoder with madVR now that current versions of madVR support the Microsoft decoder's output format.
7. Fixed: JRSS downmixing was not working properly when resampling.
8. Fixed: Using merit based filter selection was not working properly.

14. Changed: Revised the wording on DSP Studio > Output Format > Channels to make it more clear that channel downmixing requires JRSS.

The build 100

16.0.100 (5/31/2011)

1. Fixed: Quickly switching videos could lead to a crash.
2. Changed: When restoring an old library that does not contain settings, the program will succeed on the library restore (but of course not restore settings) instead of report a failure that required a user to uncheck the option to restore settings.
3. Faster: Editing a field of the type 'Large Value' (like lyrics) for a large number of files is much faster.
4. Fixed: Editing a huge number of files where all tagging would fail (due to a disconnected drive, etc.) could cause a memory leak.
5. Changed: Editing a large number of files uses less memory.
6. Fixed: Red October video playback would crash on some mpeg files, especially on Windows XP when ffdshow was configured to decode mpeg with libmpeg2 (now using libavcodec).
7. Changed: Updated to latest LAV splitter (.28) which better handles MTS files.
8. NEW: EXIF GPS information for latitude and longitude is read more completely (right-click > Update Library from Tags to fill existing files).
9. NEW: Added right-click image option "Locate on Google Maps" (only appears for images that contain GPS information in the Latitude and Longitude fields).
10. Changed: When possible, video stream selection is made before DirectShow graph is built.
11. Changed: When viewing a playlist of images and videos, the word 'Stop' will no longer appear on the on screen display when transitioning from one to the other.
12. Fixed: VC-1 files (e.g. Blu-Ray MKV's) wouldn't play on many WinXP systems.
13. Changed: Use ffdshow for mpeg-1 decoding rather than using Microsoft. Seems to be higher quality.
14. Changed: When a video starts, the background only shows 'Opening...', etc. if the video takes longer than a second to start playing, making for a smoother visual transition between videos.
15. Changed: DirectShow graph building mode option added to Options/Video page replacing the two Red October checkboxes with a single three state drop box.
16. Fixed: Smartlists could fail to show choices that were logical when the smartlist contained OR conditions or list-type fields.
17. Changed: Red October will attempt to use Power DVD video decoders 9, 10, or 11 if installed on Windows XP where there is no system DVD video decoder.

2. Fixed: AC3 was appearing twice in File Types.
3. Faster: JRSS down-mix processing is 245% faster (i.e. 5.1 to 2.0, etc.).
4. Fixed: Navigating in Theater View could crash when skipping multiple browse levels that only contained a single choice.
5. Fixed: When scanning for television channels, the new channels would show in 'Recently Imported'.
6. Fixed: Shutting down the program could be unnecessarily stalled for a second by the remote control engine.
7. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
8. Changed: Added the ability to add a 'Mute' filter to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer.
9. Changed: With Red October off, user selected audio or video decoders will be used (if a decoder you would like to use does not get used, please report the filter details -- support is currently done on a white-list basis).
10. Changed: With Red October off, when ffdshow is manually selected as a decoder for a file type, auto-configuration of ffdshow will be disabled.
11. Changed: Microsoft's "Stream Buffer Source" filter is used to render dvr-ms and wtv files.
12. Changed: Updated to latest LAV splitter (.27) which better handles TS files.

16.0.96 (5/24/2011)

1. Fixed: When JRSS mixed from 5.1 or 7.1 to 4.0 or lower, the subwoofer level could be too low (now respects the option 'Source is correctly mastered for +10 dB calibration').
2. Fixed: Videos with low sample rates could fail to play if the sound card did not support a low sample rate (DSP Studio > Output Format is now automatically configured if necessary).
3. Changed: Removed skinning from system Font dialog because skinning doesn't nicely support all of the controls used by the dialog on some versions of Windows.
4. Fixed: DLNA Servers would expose a new ID each run until they were configured once.
5. Changed: Red October now sets the "threadsnum" parameter for ffdshow to 4.
6. NEW: "FPS" (frame rate) field for video, filled in during import time.
7. Changed: Tuned how MC16.exe /MonitorToggle works so that it should work with more configurations.

2. Changed: Red October will use PowerDVD 9 when available for video decoding on systems where the Microsoft decoders are not available (normally XP systems).
3. Changed: Updated to new version of ffdshow (ffdshow_rev3850_20110511_xhmikosr_MSVC2010.exe).
4. Fixed: VMR 9 was not working nicely with DVD.
5. Changed: Removed the option DSP Studio > Output Format option 'Something outside Media Center will make the subwoofer +10 dB (standard calibration)'. All level calibration should be done using Room Correction.
6. Changed: Room Correction allows setting levels from -20dB to +20dB (previously it had a range of -12dB to +12dB).
7. NEW: The Output Format and Room Correction systems work together better to track the available headroom in each audio channel so that unnecessary attenuation is never performed.
8. Fixed: DSP Studio > Room Correction would unnecessarily attenuate all channels when they all had negative volume levels (only the relative differences should matter).
9. Changed: Library and playlist views do not show a playing overlay on a thumbnail when it's the active playback file but playback is stopped (or else the green play overlay causes confusion with the 'Play' text link).
10. Changed: Tuned the slow double click mechanism for in-place list editing so that a fast double-click that just misses being a double-click won't start editing.
11. Fixed: Thumbnailing and analyzing of video files now works with Red October.
12. Changed: Enabled more subtitle options in Red October mode, hopefully they improve subtitle activation.

3. Fixed: Video playback of files with AC3 audio (HDTV, DVD, etc.) could make goose honking noises on seek.
4. Fixed: With VideoClock enabled, if the video took more than a couple seconds to start, the lip sync would take longer than expected to lock on.
5. Changed: Red October will not use madVR for DVD.
6. Changed: Turned off ffdshow tray icon in auto config mode.
7. Fixed: The direct show connection info now reports the correct filename path for filters when using auto config.

3. Changed: Internal changes to how video playback is configured and played.

16.0.91 (5/17/2011)

1. NEW: When in Red October automatic config mode for DirectShow video playback, all filters are now directly connected instead of using "smart" connection.
2. NEW: When in Red October automatic config mode for DirectShow, known safe filters are loaded explicitly instead of using filters registered on the system.
3. Fixed: DLNA playback was unnecessarily causing conversion stacks to be created for non-MP3 file types.
4. Fixed: When controlling a DLNA device, Last.fm Scrobbling could trigger twice if the playback server was the same as the controlling machine.

3. Fixed: Changing Update Channel options in Options and clicking 'Cancel' would not discard changes.
4. Changed: Importing of mp4 videos will use direct parsing method as used in importing of m4a audios.
5. Faster: MP4 (M4A, ALAC, MP4 video) importing / parsing is 10 to 30 times faster (was about 16.5 times faster on a test suite of many files).
6. Changed: When looking up a series from TheTVDB.com for Theater View backdrops, all languages are searched instead of only English.
7. Changed: Update Channels will better handle cases where two or more updates are pushed before the user allows installation.

2. NEW: Zone links are preserved between program runs.
3. Fixed: Some dialogs would not draw properly unless they were resized (only applies to build 35 and 36).
4. Fixed: Video converter used by Gizmo, etc. would not always cleanup properly.

16.0.36 (2/18/2011)

1. Changed: Reorganzed core libraries to be a little more efficient with regards to size and loading speed.
2. Fixed: AverTV M780 PCIe device analog tuner played no sound when not in time-shifting mode.
3. Changed: If auto-import is unable to watch a folder for changes (happens with some network drives, etc.) then the program will scan for changes manually every 2 hours.
4. Fixed: Gizmo or DLNA devices could show a stale list of files in some cases.
5. Changed: When reimporting a previously removed file, the file will be reanalyzed.
6. Fixed: Picking a single file and saying 'Play (with Play Doctor)' would not make a good mix.

16.0.35 (2/17/2011)

1. Changed: Improved Wikipedia movie lookup to better handle titles full of common words like 'To Be And To Have'.
2. Fixed: The /Library command did not work when run through the launcher.
3. Changed: Improved performance when loading or resizing dialogs.
4. Fixed: The 'Remote' options page did not work nicely with large fonts.
5. Fixed: Remote control IR blaster commands could stop working after re-installing the player.
6. Fixed: Auto-import could be slow analyzing network files that were temporarily unavailable.
7. Fixed: Right-clicking a non-selected playlist and picking 'Lock' would not work.
8. NEW: When right-clicking a playlist group, the option 'Lock All Children' / 'Unlock All Children' is available.
9. Changed: If a user customized the temporary folder, temporary files will actually be created in a 'J River' subfolder of the user selected folder (any files or folders in the 'J River' subfolder will be deleted each run).
10. Changed: Video playback graph building will not consider failure to load subtitles / Line 21 (which madVR does not support) a critical error.
11. Changed: Faster video playback graph building in some cases.
12. Changed: Netflix now retrieves all it's 'feeds' in separate threads simultaneously.

16.0.34 (2/16/2011)

1. Changed: When the program had many programs in the television programming guide (hundreds of thousands), the program could slow down.
2. SDK: The MCWS Browse/Files function will return success with zero files on an empty item instead of returning a failure.
3. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks to Johnny B).
4. Changed: Updated Japanese translation (thanks to KANEY).
5. Changed: Added additional ASIO logging.
6. Changed: Revamped 'Registration Information' dialog so that it works better with large fonts and/or translation.
7. Fixed: Spacing between characters could be unnecessarily large in edit controls when using fonts with leading / trailing overhangs.
8. Fixed: Image playback of certain size images could lead to a crash.
9. Fixed: Wmhelper.dll was not getting registered in certain cases causing Performer login to fail.
10. Changed: On ASIO shutdown, buffers are explicitly disposed instead of relying on the driver to dispose outstanding buffers on unload (improves Roland Edirol UA-1Ex support, possibly others).
11. Changed: madVR runs in the graph thread instead of the main program thread.
12. Changed: When loading television programming, entries for programs older than 3 days will be discarded (previously 14 days of old programming were kept, but a smaller number helps performance).

16.0.33

Internal testing build

The build 32

16.0.32 (2/15/2011)

1. NEW: Simplified 'Media Network' options page.
2. Changed: Media Center 16 no longer works with a Media Center 15 license.
3. Fixed: When starting video playback, JRWorker.exe could be unnecessarily invoked to grab a thumbnail.
4. Fixed: When resuming from standby, auto-import folder watching could swamp the CPU.
5. Changed: The system to load an image to display while loading a file (or playing audio with no visualizations) is more efficient.
6. Fixed: Channel name edited in "Edit Channel" window did not stick.

MC16 released for public beta testing

J. River Media Center 16.0 Beta has been released for public testing today. Link

The builds 27-31

16.0.31 (2/14/2011)

1. NEW: Added an "Edit Channel" button on Edit Channel List window to allow editing of existing television channels.
2. Fixed: Audio protect mode could engage incorrectly in some cases causing silence to be played.
3. Fixed: Play Doctor playback when nothing was provided as a seed was not working properly.

16.0.30

Internal testing build

16.0.29 (2/11/2011)

1. Changed: Reworked how playback statistics are incremented when playing from a server (Gizmo, DLNA device etc.) so that devices that request the same file multiple times during playback won't cause multiple play counts and Scrobbles.
2. Fixed: madVR could hang with build 28 (hopefully fixed, please let us know).
3. Fixed: Video playback could leave some filters loaded after playback was stopped.

16.0.28 (2/10/2011)

1. Changed: madVR display window is bound to the main user interface thread instead of the playback graph thread (should fix sluggishness issues).
2. Changed: Gizmo multiple Scrobbles for a single playback hopefully fixed (please let us know).
3. NEW: Added Protect Mode to audio engine that engages if a huge spike (due to a corrupt file, misbehaved DSP, etc.) comes through the audio chain and switches to silence for a few seconds (part of 'Clip protection' mode selected at bottom of DSP Studio window).
4. NEW: Reworked how internal volume mode is applied so that it's safer when used with a power amplifier (a DSP is not allowed to apply a gain that overrides the internal volume).
5. Fixed: The auto-upgrade from v15 to v16 would not work properly if v15 was installed to a directory with a custom name.
6. Fixed: Channel details for STB channels were not properly displayed on "Edit Channel List" window.

16.0.27 (2/9/2011)

1. NEW: MC supports Set Top Box television channels.
2. NEW: New latency system for 'ASIO' and 'WASAPI - Event Style' audio outputs that makes VideoClock require fewer and smaller audio rate adjustments (audio and video sync is typically maintained within 2 milliseconds, with about 0.0001 audio rate variation once sync is established).
3. NEW: MC supports Camera type "television channel". A user can manually add a "channel" that corresponds to a webcam device.
4. Fixed: Typing in other programs (and maybe other operations) while madVR was in use could be sluggish.
5. Fixed: The low-pass and high-pass filters in the 'Parametric Equalizer' could fail to work properly in some cases.
