The builds 39-46

17.0.46 (12/2/2011)

1. Changed: Added the aspect ratio of 2.40 to the list of choices for Crop Black Bars available on the on screen display.
2. Changed: FLAC files that didn't start with a FLAC__METADATA_TYPE_STREAMINFO block were not supported.
3. Fixed: When using madVR and starting video playback from Theater View, build 45 could delay 5 seconds starting the video.
4. Fixed: Imported DVD's now show the correct frame-rate (FPS), bitrate, and dimensions.
5. Fixed: Importing some DVD's could cause JRWorker to hang.
6. NEW: Parametric Equalizer provides a low-shelf and high-shelf filter (fully configurable, stackable, applicable to any channels, etc. just like other filters).
7. Fixed: Drag-n-drop of an image from a web browser to the Tag Action Window > Image page didn't work nicely.
8. Changed: De-interlacing will be done by madVR renderer (if it's in the graph) rather than LAV Video software de-interlacing.
9. Changed: Reworked call ordering when starting television playback so that a video renderer is positioned before the graph is run.

17.0.45 (12/1/2011)

1. Fixed: BD/DVD titles sometimes reported the wrong file size after import.
2. Fixed: Some BD titles would not import the compression info field correctly.
3. Changed: Improved handling of bitstream errors in RAW AAC streams.
4. NEW: Added 'Null Output' output plugin, available in Options > Audio > Audio Output. Allows playing videos on a machine with no sound card.
5. Fixed: Playback of recorded JTV files wasn't cropping edges by default.
6. NEW: Rewritten video import -- gets compression and frame rate for almost all videos and runs around 40% faster.
7. Changed: Reworked call ordering when starting video playback so that a video renderer is positioned before the graph is run.
8. NEW: DLNA added 24 bit LPCM conversion. Devices supporting this may not be available yet.

17.0.44 (11/30/2011)

1. Fixed: DVB-T channel channel switching from SD (MPEG-2) channel to HD (H264/AAC) channel, or vice versa, did not work.
2. Fixed: MCC_PLAY_TV command (and maybe other rarely used television features) did not work.
3. Changed: When using 'Do not play silence' in conjunction with gapped track switching, silence suppression first eats the gap before eating any of the track (so a long low volume fadeout won't end abruptly).
4. Fixed: Creating a virtual handheld device that pointed to a UNC path did not work nicely.
5. Fixed: Overriding an aspect ratio didn't work correctly in conjunction with Anamorphic mode.
6. Changed: Playing a data file will increment the playback statistics 'Last Played', and 'Number Plays'.
7. Changed: Updated to version .42 of LAV audio, video and splitter directshow filters. Improvements to raw PCM de-muxing and TrueHD audio playback, support raw RGB24 video in AVI.
8. NEW: Now using LAV video decoder as replacement for ffdshow for most video decoding tasks in Red October.
9. NEW: Internal configuration of madVR using programmatic interface - currently only disabling the seek bar.
10. Changed: Double-clicking a JRiver note in a view other than 'Notes' will open it with a web browser.

14. Changed: Added the aspect ratio of 2.40 to the list of choices for Crop Black Bars.
15. Fixed: Hot keys and remote commands weren't working while watching a Netflix movie.
16. Changed: When a Theater View list is in the process of loading items, it shows "Loading..." rather than "There are no items to display".
17. Changed: When video playback is started, the graph building thread will wait for pending user interface changes (like closing of Theater View) before loading or configuring the video renderer.

17.0.43 (11/29/2011)

1. Fixed: WebPlay / Gizmo video playback with conversion was not working in build 42.
2. NEW: Video playback aspect ratio system is rewritten -- more flexible support for cropping black bars baked into videos, more consistent support across all types of movies, etc.

17.0.42 (11/28/2011)

1. Changed: Tagging a video file where the tag only modifies the sidecar will no longer update the last modified time of the video file.
2. Fixed: When returning to Theater View to a view that was imported from Standard View, the view could be empty.
3. Fixed: SSA alignment tokens could appear as {\a...} text in subtitles.
4. Changed: Improved support for SSA \an (numpad alignment) tokens.
5. Changed: A change in television graph-building that possibly fixes some rare hangs.
6. Fixed (probably): Crash when stopping television playback.
7. Fixed: Play Doctor Playcharts saved under Playlists were not working properly.
8. Changed: Playcharts were not supported for handheld sync.
9. NEW: It's possible to edit saved Playcharts.

17.0.41 (11/22/2011)

1. Changed: Theater View defaults to a normal instead of a bold version of the main program font.
2. Fixed: The math evaluator wasn't supporting exponent notation like x^y properly.
3. NEW: Added Options > Audio > Disable display from turning off (useful for HDMI audio).
4. Changed: Reverted the television AAC audio media type change made in build 40.
5. Changed: Improvements to Limiter filter in DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer.
6. Fixed: In auto-rip CD mode, multiple matches from on-line CD lookup would be shown even though user chose "automatically pick the first match".

17.0.40 (11/21/2011)

1. Fixed: An image slideshow could show the border of the last picture in certain cases.
2. Changed: Image slideshow Pan & Zoom effect uses less motion.
3. Changed: A small delay is introduced during television channel switching to reduce the chance of stutters.
4. NEW: Audio Path information is available from the main menu under Player > Audio Path.
5. Changed: Merged audio path and direct indication into DSP button of player window (DSP button will light up when playing direct with Noire skin).
6. Fixed: When transferring audio files (with transcoding) to a portable device from a Library Server, the last part of the audio was getting truncated.
7. Fixed: Digital TV built a DirectShow graph using old channel info instread of current channel info, causing playback problems in DVB-T/T2 areas.
8. NEW: Expression language supports ! operator in a conditional (ie. If(!IsEqual([Artist], Abba), a, b))
9. Fixed: When editing a list type field in the Tag Action Window, and using page up and down to switch file, typing focus was lost.
10. Fixed: Typed list navigation was not working properly with diacritics.
11. Fixed: It was possible to manually resize the 'Fill Properties From Filename' dialog to too small of a size.
12. Fixed: Loading of default dialog sizes for resizable dialogs was not working properly.
13. Fixed: Sort caching could cause sorting by expression fields to not refresh properly when underlying data changed.
14. Changed: Display changing settings in Options > Video are now zone-specific (may require manually reconfiguring applicable video options).
15. Changed: VideoClock and normalization video options are zone specific.
16. Changed: Reworked how resolution switching for video playback is managed so that it's handled at a more core level of the program, and merged with handling of Options > Tree & View > Full Screen > Resolution.
17. Changed: AAC Audio media type specification is changed for DVB-T/T2 television.
18. Changed: Clicking a list checkbox (pane tagging, etc.) doesn't switch the keyboard focus to the list.

17.0.39 (11/18/2011)

1. NEW: Player window displays an audio path icon. Hoovering over the icon displays the full path of the current audio. The icon lights up when playing in Direct mode (ie. bit-perfect output).
2. Changed: Tuned the 'Clip protection' filter of DSP Studio so that during video playback, it doesn't try to restore lost volume from clipping.
3. Changed: Tuned the response time of 'Clip protection' to be slightly slower, and made the filter more agnostic to differing input sample rates.
4. NEW: Added a 'Limiter' filter to Parametric Equalizer (still a work in progress, parameters not currently tunable).
5. Changed: Merged video volume normalization option with the updated 'Clip protection' of DSP Studio so there's only one filter in the chain responsible for the final output level.
6. Changed: Video playback requires the use of 'Clip protection' (instead of 'Overflows flatline').
