The builds 32-33

17.0.33 (11/11/2011)

1. Faster: Expression language is faster when dealing with fields (as a result, it's no longer supported to nest functions inside the Field(...) function).
2. Changed: Zones are sorted by name in the tree.
3. Fixed: Conversion of audio for DLNA and Gizmo could sporadically fail with the last few builds.
4. Fixed: Jitter in the high-precision system timer could cause video playback failures (applies to dual-core AMD machines on XP, possibly others).
5. Fixed: DVB-T2 television channels (with AAC audio) did not play.
6. Fixed: Setting a relational database field could fail to set all members of the relationship in rare cases.
7. NEW: TiVo beacon generated internally by MC, solves problems with the TiVo's unsupported beacon API not working on some newer versions of windows.
8. NEW: Remark (REM) statements in CUE files are now handled as meta-data. Currently COMMENT, DATE, GENRE are supported.
9. Fixed: On screen display text was incorrectly all drawing as bold.
10. Changed: The Theater View file list always shows at least two thumbnails horizontally and vertically, regardless of the size setting and ideal thumbnail image aspect ratio.
11. SDK: Seeking a video using the web service (MCWS) could lead to problems.
12. SDK: Improved MCWS/v1/Library/Values so it can return all values for a given field or search any number of fields for matches.
13. Fixed: Remote control keystrokes sent to Media Center from a system like Girder might have been disabled while a pop-up was being displayed.
14. Changed: Subtitle images are delivered to EVR from the main thread (fixes possible hangs when detaching or sizing EVR while subtitles were going).
15. Fixed: AAC MediaType was specified incorrectly so Hauppauge Colossus video capture device did not have sound.
16. Changed: Updated to version .39 of LAV audio, video and splitter directshow filters. Improved seeking on Mpeg-2 and VC-1 files, and playback of raw H.264.
17. Changed: Carnac assumes that a file with a television recording extension that's over 70 minutes is a movie instead of a television show.
18. Changed: Carnac deals with the uncapitalized word "not" from SageTV naming better.
19. Changed: More tweaking to the DLNA nested control fix from builds 29 and 30. Could have caused trouble with some renderers.

17.0.32 (11/9/2011)

1. Fixed: When installing an update on a non-administrative account the prompted for a different username and password to run the install, the program could report an error when starting after the update.
2. Faster: Holding Shift+PgDown in a list is much faster, especially in a large list.
3. Changed: Improved ts recording of digital television.
4. Faster: Import works 4 files at a time instead of 2 files at a time (background auto-import still works 1 file at a time since it's designed to have a small footprint and run in the background).
5. Faster: Tag reading is faster for all file types.
6. Faster: ID3v2 parsing is faster.
7. Faster: The I/O pattern used for analyzing MP3 files is more efficient -- making MP3 import up to twice as fast.
8. Changed: The core filename functions better support filenames in the form "file://C:/My%20Music/1.mp3".
9. Changed: Expressions that work on filenames better handle portable install filenames like "(Install Drive):\1.mp3".
10. Changed: Audio type is set to AAC when building a playback graph with Hauppauge Colossus video capture device.
11. Fixed: Theater View weather was using Fahrenheit for the Google source, even if Celsius was selected.
12. Changed: Revised how text-based subtitle sizing is performed so that it's more consistent across differing fonts, DPIs, etc.
13. Fixed: The vertical position of SSA subtitles was not correct in some cases.
14. Changed: Added support for vertical text with SSA subtitles.
15. Changed: SSA subtitle support honors the scale and font size of the styles section (font size is scaled relative to median font size used in the styles section).
16. Fixed: Videos that used non-square pixels would display with the incorrect aspect ratio when played using Gizmo on Android.
