The builds 92-95

17.0.95 (2/24/2012)

1. Changed: Updated LAV filters to .48 which fixes a crash with native DXVA2 on hardware that doesn't support decoding all formats.
2. Changed: IIR based DSP effects like low-pass, high-pass, Linkwitz, etc. better handle denormals (numbers very close to zero) so performance slowdowns don't arise from these numbers.
3. Changed: Tuned timing used when switching madVR between Display View and Theater View to (hopefully) fix black-screen hangs.
4. Changed: Updated the RSS feed for Theater View Yahoo! News to point to a new RSS feed that works (Yahoo! still offers the old feed, but it's full of broken links).
5. Fixed: Sometimes when deleting files, especially from Theater View, the remove empty folders prompt would not appear right away.
6. Fixed: Toggling the new DSP option 'Process independently of internal volume' could cause a burst of sound if the internal volume was low.
7. Fixed: Tempo & Pitch DSP did not flush fully, so on seek, etc. a little tail could be heard in some cases.
8. Changed: The text output in the Export Playlist tool creates standard CSV output (RFC 4180 compliant).
9. Fixed: Channel editing tool did not work for DVB-C/S and QAM tuner types.
10. Changed: Removed Output Format option for sources that have an incorrectly mastered subwoofer, use -10dB to the subwoofer in Parametric Equalizer instead if needed (discussed here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=70303.0).
11. NEW: Add DLNA controller switch to ignore transport events (use polling mode) to the Player Zone.

17.0.94 (2/23/2012)

1. Fixed: WASAPI output mode could lose lip-sync when seeking in video.
2. Faster: Pruning of the Theater View background cache could cause exiting Theater View to be slow (pruning is now around 50x faster and only done once a week).
3. Fixed: LAV Source/Splitter filter would allow viewing configuration pages which is not valid for auto-configured Red October filters and in fact shows the config for a separately installed instance.
4. Changed: Theater View News works better when an article fails to load (like the current Yahoo! failures due to a Yahoo! server problem).
5. Fixed: Volume Protection could engage and turn the volume down on subsequent videos when playing videos back to back.
6. Faster: The HTML parser used by Theater View news is about 10x faster.
7. NEW: Each DSP effect can be set to be processed independently of internal volume (Options button at top right of DSP).
8. NEW: DSP effects can be set to process only when viewed, which is useful for visualization style items like Analyzer (Options button at top right of DSP).
9. Changed: Tuning to some wording in DSP Studio.
10. Changed: DSP Studio keeps 'Output Format' first and 'Volume Leveling' second. A message explaining this is shown if a user attempts to put other effects before these effects.
11. NEW: Added a second Parametric Equalizer to DSP Studio so it's possible to apply effects on either side of Room Correction, convolution, etc.
12. Changed: One-time reset of DSP effect ordering due to other changes.
13. Fixed: DLNA controller function was assuming it was in control whenever a zone was selected leading to badness if we were only viewing a zone someone else was controlling.
14. Changed: DLNA controller polls for playing state if it thinks it's playing but the position isn't updating from 0. This fixes trouble if an event is missed.
15. Turkey: Moved the search box to the lower-left of the Options dialog as discussed here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=69921.0.

17.0.93 (2/21/2012)

1. Changed: Added support for reading the lens name from XMP.
2. Changed: Improved the HTML parsing engine used in Theater View > News to works better with BBC, possibly others.
3. Changed: Tweaked the list of reasons in the uninstall dialog.
4. NEW: Added The Verge to Theater View News.

17.0.92 (2/21/2012)

1. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
2. Changed: MCWS functions that return a decimal will always use . as the decimal character (unless the value is designed to be displayed to a user like VolumeDisplay, etc.).
3. Changed: Revised how image playback creates hardware accelerated devices to fix stalls before drawing the image on some machines.
4. Fixed: Switching between 3d and regular Theater View lists could cause the number of thumbnails in a row to change.
5. Changed: Minor tuning to thumbnail sizing in Theater View to make a 1080p display more likely to show 3 rows for movies.
6. Fixed: VideoClock was not engaging in some cases so there could be frame repeats / frame drops.
7. Changed: VideoClock will allow up to a 1% clock drift to achieve a perfect 2.5 video to refresh rate multiplier (used for 24 Hz video on 60 Hz display).
8. Changed: Real Media video files (.rm,.rmvb,.rv,.smil) are now played through Red October rather than using the Real Media engine (which wasn't working anyhow).
9. Fixed: DVB-S channel scanning could get channels with wrong frequencies or multiple entries of the same channel with different frequencies.
10. NEW: Added a subtitle mode (Options > Video) that shows a sidecar when it's found, regardless of other settings. (mode: Show subtitles only if selected subtitle language is different from audio language, or if subtitles are in a sidecar file)
11. NEW: Added default field 'Lens'. Filled automatically from the EXIF tag with Canon cameras.
12. Fixed: Downloading from Library Server for transfer to a handheld might time out if conversion was custom MP3 and audio file was very large (~2 hours).
