Version history / Release notes / Changelog / What's New


34.0.64 (8/27/2025)

1. Fixed: Playback hotkeys (Space, Ctrl+P) did not work on Theater View Upfront.
2. Changed: Theater View Upfront will fade-in/fade-out when views change.
3. Changed: Different approach to trim the top border line that could get drawn when moving windows.

34.0.63 (8/26/2025)

1. Changed: Adjusted the line showing problem fixed in build 62.

34.0.62 (8/26/2025)

1. Fixed: Scrolling views with only one column in Theater View did not work properly.
2. Fixed: Dragging windows could show an extra line at the top with some skins.

34.0.61 (8/26/2025)

1. Fixed: Restoring the Theater View root roller position after navigating through Upfront is more consistent.
2. Fixed: Horizontal scrolling in the Theater View Upfront list would not work correctly.
3. Changed: Increased the size of the Theater View Upfront view to 33% screen height.
4. Changed: The SACD extraction could fail on some SACD files.
5. Fixed: Corrected a few more skin problems (thanks EnglishTiger).
6. Changed: Upfront is faded out when not in focus, to avoid drawing the eyes to it constantly (with an option to disable).
7. Changed: Added an option to disable text captions on Upfront items.
8. Fixed: Selecting an item in Upfront will properly report it as the "selected file" for MCWS and similar.
9. Changed: Any Library Views without children can be chosen as Upfront in Theater View.
10. Changed: Instead of drawing borders using the face color for dialogs, now that width is trimmed away.
11. NEW (experimental): Added RGB32 and P210 video formats as possibly convertible formats for encoding purpose when time-shifting on a video capture device.
12. Changed: The /ShowTreePath command is no longer case-sensitive.

34.0.60 (8/22/2025)

1. Changed: Tuned the border trimming (feedback appreciated).
2. Fixed: Removing the "Upfront" flag from a view in Theater View would leave the view hidden.

34.0.59 (8/21/2025)

1. NEW: Theater View Upfront view, a simplified view on the root screen for fast access to any library entries.
2. Changed: Dialogs would have an extra face 3d colored border on the outside which has been removed.
3. Fixed: LAV Video Decoder was not configured to handle V210 video when MC tried to encode v210 video from video capture devices during time-shifting.
4. Fixed: DirectShow graph-building for time-shifting could fail if the uncompressed video from a video capture device is not encodable by MC, instead of falling back to not encoding.
5. Changed: Spotlight now gets artists' albums from YADB. Still could use some tweaking to try to avoid duplicates.
6. NEW: Playing Now Popup can use optional expression for image source (new sourceExp skin attribute).
7. Fixed: Video Type Bridge filter in TV engine did not accept V210 video pixel format.
8. Changed: Added some logging in TV time-shifting writer filter.
9. Changed: For video capture filters, video connection will be attempted without intermediate filters being inserted, to prevent Smart Tee from being used.
10. Changed: Another attempt at trimming borders from dialogs (testing builds were not working fully on 4k displays).
11. Fixed: When time-shifting on a video capture device with encoding option on, the player graph used Microsoft Video Decoder instead of LAV Video Decoder.

34.0.58 (8/14/2025)

1. NEW: PNP can show content items conditionally based on new MediaFilter attribute which is a true/false expression. Ex. MediaFilter="isequal([Media Type],Audio)"
2. Changed: Added V210 video as a type that might be encoded when time-shifting on a video capture device.
3. Fixed: A visible artifact (normally a colored line) could draw in the frame top border in some cases.
4. Changed: Made the FieldQuery expression function take an optional playlist path name for the scope (otherwise it uses integers for the modes).
5. Fixed: Getting a field search wouldn't properly escape characters. Made a relational field storing one per artist run away if a dash was in an artist name.
6. Fixed: Corrected a few more skin problems (thanks EnglishTiger).

34.0.57 (8/13/2025)

1. Fixed: Equalizer settings were not being applied properly in build 56.
2. Changed: Theater View Items to Show configuration will properly show the view configuration options on root-level items without children.
3. Changed: Removed the equalizer from Media Editor.
