18.0.51 (9/26/2012)
1. Fixed: SSA subtitles that were authored for a different resolution than the video itself would position elements incorrectly.

3. Fixed: SSA styles would not load for some videos if the SSA included comments in the style block.
4. Fixed: SSA style alignment could be handled incorrectly for SSA V4.0+ (since alignment changed between SSA V4.0 and SSA V4.0+).
5. Fixed: Text underline did not look right when text was drawing with an outline or drop shadow (like on subtitles).
6. Faster: Revised how text underline is handled so that it's rendered as an after-effect (instead of loading a second copy of the font to draw with underline).
7. Fixed: Web browser views in Theater View could crash when leaving them.
8. NEW: Library Server clients save the contents of Playing Now between runs.
9. Fixed: Drop-panes would unexpectedly hide when the mouse was still over them.

2. Fixed: Catching of clicks in an embedded browser was not working.
3. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
4. Fixed: Customizing the bottom list in a library view could incorrectly apply the changes to the top list.
5. Fixed: Changing a file path option would cause the option's label to not appear until leaving and reentering options.
6. Changed: Folder import will not import files from a broken DVD or Bluray aggregate (you can drag-n-drop individual video files from a broken aggregate into the program if necessary).
7. Fixed: Picking 'Show Media Center' from the Media Server tray icon would not always bring the program to the front.
8. Fixed: Some characters like a password dot, trademark symbol, etc. were not drawing.
9. Changed: Updated Simplified Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).
10. Fixed: The trial period would show as '1 day left in trial' even when there were actually more days left.
11. Fixed: Some DFF files compressed with DST would not import.
12. Fixed: In 3D album mode, the song list used a tiny text font.

The builds 46-48
18.0.48 (9/21/2012)
1. Changed: Version 18 no longer works with a version 17 license (because this makes it impossible for people to upgrade from v17 to v18 using the program).
18.0.47 (9/20/2012)
1. Changed: Starting Play Doctor with an album as a seed will focus more heavily on that album instead of focusing on all albums by the artist equally.
2. Fixed: Starting video playback could cause a black screen to show until entering and leaving Theater View again.
3. Fixed: The OSD could fail to hide when switching modes, causing it to show in unexpected places like the root of Theater View.
4. Changed: Keyboard navigation in the panes didn't expand / collapse tree items with the left and right keys.
5. Fixed: Saving / loading views was not working properly.
6. Changed: Revised ASIO buffer creation slightly so that it's more likely to use a buffer size that's a power-of-two (which makes some drivers happy).
18.0.46 (9/19/2012)
1. Changed: OSD for live television is rearranged to match OSD for other video playback.
2. Changed: OSD title "Save Current time-shifting on stop" is simplified to "Save Current Time-shifting", and the selection "Use global setting in Options > Television", is followed by the actual global setting (such as (Do Not Save)).
3. Fixed: ALAC encoder's "Encoder settings..." link in Options did not behave properly.
4. Fixed: CD ripper ripped to WAV instead of AIFF even though the user selected AIFF encoding.
5. Fixed: Seeking did not work when a LS client played television recordings or live television shows.
6. Updated: Simplified Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.
7. Fixed: Certain fonts could show unexpected characters at the end of lines.

MC18 released for public beta testing
JRiver Media Center 18.0 Beta has been released for public testing today. Link
The builds 42-45
18.0.45 (9/17/2012)
1. Fixed: The installer was crashing with build 44.
2. Fixed: Clicking the 'Edit Disc Information' button in the view header would not work in some cases.
3. Fixed: In-place editing in the panes was not working.
4. Changed: Renaming an existing value in a list field that doesn't use list editing (like Artist) would replace the entire list instead of renaming only the single value.
5. Fixed: The 'Rip' Action Window could blank out when switching views.
6. Fixed: The 'Rip' Action Window could display an incorrect total number of ripped tracks when multiple CD's were being ripped.
7. Changed: The bitstreaming setting from Options > Video is migrated to Options > Audio so no user settings will be lost.
8. Changed: Options > Handheld allows running up to 8 conversions at a time (the previous limit was 4 at a time).
9. Changed: Playchart editing is enabled again (now that Play Doctor is done changing).
10. Fixed: Tooltips were not showing for non-editable Action Window > Tag items.
18.0.44 (9/14/2012)
1. NEW: Native ALAC encoder.
2. Changed: The option for bitstreaming audio moved from a video setting to an audio setting (you will have to manually reconfigure bitstreaming one time in Options > Audio).
3. Fixed: Adding a library view could crash.
4. Fixed: Adding a library that pointed to a Library Server was not working properly.
5. Fixed: Clicking the image in the Action Window > Tag page was not zooming into a full page view of the image.
6. Changed: Saved Play Doctor lists (Playcharts) will not be evaluated when looking at the parent playlist group (makes browsing too slow).
7. Changed: Play Doctor lists (Playcharts) show a folder icon in Theater View so they don't have to be evaluated until entered.
18.0.43 (9/13/2012)
1. Changed: When searching in the EPG or looking at 'To Be Recorded', it looks out 60 days in the future instead of 7 days.
2. NEW: Improved subwoofer limiter that does frequency-based limiting (more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=62012.0).
18.0.42 (9/12/2012)
1. Fixed: Switching in and out of Theater View could (still) hang if a web page view was showing.
2. Changed: Reworked the rules for OSD showing: the up/down menu position is independent of the temporary status views of position and volume, always starts at the same spot (resets after a minute), etc.
3. Fixed: With madVR, subtitles could draw on top of the OSD if they changed while the OSD was showing.
4. Fixed: Possible rare crash on program shutdown.
5. NEW: Added the ability to browse for sidecar subtitles while playing a video (useful for optical media, or for when the naming convention doesn't match the standards supported by JRiver).
6. Fixed: Switching between a subtitle format and no subtitles could leave the last subtitle showing.
7. Changed: When a previously removed file is reimported, it will always expand and read tags. This fixes issues where deleting, then reimporting would not fix information if it was originally wrong for some reason.
8. Fixed: SND and SACD were incorrectly listed as discrete items in the import file types list (instead of grouped with their appropriate parent).
9. Fixed: Possible crash when deleting items from a list.
10. NEW: When importing CUE files from a folder, the underlying audio files will not be imported.
11. NEW: Import of SACD ISO files works nicely with the regular import tools.
12. Changed: 'Update Library From Tags' works better with SACD files.
13. Changed: When using the new desktop background slideshow builder, the program will use the highest possible resize quality (previously it would use a faster, but slightly lower quality resize).
14. Fixed: When streaming APE files, the last frame could play as silence.
15. Changed: Playback of an APE file could do an unnecessary parse of the APE tag when it reached the last frame of the file during playback.
16. NEW: Revised how linking of remote zones works to work better with Tremote zones ( more here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=73907.msg504457#msg504457 )
17. Fixed: Options > File Location was blank.
18. Changed: The 'Details' view for file conversion is labeled 'Converter' instead of 'Video Converter' (since it can do audio or video).
19. NEW: Added 'Subtract' mode to DSP Studio > Parametric Equalizer > Mix channels.
1. Fixed: The installer was crashing with build 44.
2. Fixed: Clicking the 'Edit Disc Information' button in the view header would not work in some cases.

11. NEW: Added support for /StartAfterDelay to the launcher so you can run Media Center after a delay (example to start after 5 seconds: MC18.exe /StartAfterDelay 5000).
12. Fixed: When playing to a DLNA zone, the sample rate, channels, and bitdepth would be empty in the player bar (shows source format, not destination format when serving).
13. Changed: Memory playback will not buffer to memory when playing from a remote device (since no activity is being avoided, and pushing a NIC can often cause audio problems).
18.0.40 (9/7/2012)
1. Fixed: MTP syncs to handheld devices (i.e. Android phones) were failing.
2. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).

5. Fixed: Tooltips could appear above popup menus in some cases.
18.0.38 (8/31/2012)
