The builds 64-67

18.0.67 (10/31/2012)

1. Changed: Revised the default 'Series' view in Theater View so that shows without a series name use the program name (instead of all being lumped into an 'Unassigned' bucket).
2. Fixed: An empty expression could display as an error (only applies to the last few builds).
3. NEW: Added support for 'Sony Pictures Digital Wave 64' (.w64) audio format.
4. Fixed: Removed "Recently Watched" category from Netflix since it's not available from their API anymore.

18.0.66 (10/30/2012)

1. Changed: Formatting of the short date format (used in Theater View and elsewhere) respects the year, month, day order system setting.
2. Changed: Updated simplified Chinese language file. Thanks kelijun.
3. Changed: Improved the file info template that's shown for a Netflix TV series in Theater View.
4. Fixed: The custom star character introduced in build 65 could draw with a circle around it.
5. Changed: Video playback from a URL works better with filters like LAV that read, seek back, seek forward, and read again (so really aren't seeking at all).
6. Fixed: Serving from a UNC / mapped drive could fail if the drive needed a mount (like right after a reboot).
7. Fixed: Remote zones could cause shutdown of Media Center to be slower than necessary.
8. Changed: Playback of Blu-ray with Library Server would take around 20 seconds before showing the error 'Blu-ray playback over Library Server is not supported' (it still isn't supported, but now the error shows right away).
9. Fixed: In cases where LAV could not return the position or duration (like during some URL playback), position or duration values in the player bar could show unexpected values.
10. Changed: When skipping navigation levels that only contain one choice in Theater View, the title at the top shows the text of the item you picked instead of the text of the skipped item.
11. Changed: Revised default Theater View views for television (merged 'Series' and 'Season' views, use 'Season 3' instead of '3' at the season level, sorting is by season, episode, etc.).
12. Fixed: Theater View could show '0 minutes' for short videos instead of something like '15 seconds'.

18.0.65 (10/29/2012)

1. Fixed: If a time-shift (DST, BST, etc.) occurred in the middle of EPG data, it could cause programs to appear at the wrong time.
2. Changed: Netflix API url changed to api-public.netflix.com because the old one (api.netflix.com) is going away on November 7.
3. Fixed: When a TV Show does not have a time as part of it's date, it would show 12:00am in Theater View.
4. NEW: Theater View captions can use the variables [AllSameSeries] and [AllSameSeason] to change the caption based on the context of the list.
5. Changed: Lots of tuning to Theater View captions and file info templates, especially for television (shows season / episode, has watch marks, etc.).
6. Changed: Tweaked formatting of some expressions like TVInfo(SizeDisplay), TVInfo(SeasonEpisode), and others to use more concise syntax.
7. Changed: Added date formatting tokens 'shortdate' and 'shortdatetime' used in Theater View.
8. Changed: The Watched() expression function takes an optional mode, and mode 1 returns a numeric code useful for caption expressions.
9. Fixed: Drawing of partially transparent text onto other partially transparent backgrounds was drawing the new text with too much prominence.
10. Changed: Added expression function Delimit(...) to output a value and a delimiter but do nothing if the value is empty (so If(IsEmpty([Track #]), , [Track #].) becomes Delimit([Track #], .)).
11. Fixed: Television engine could load a channel of wrong type which would prevent a correct channel from being played.
12. Changed: The font engine uses a custom image for the star character so that it will work with any font.
13. Fixed: OSD "Adding required components..." was not displayed when television engine downloaded components.

18.0.64 (10/26/2012)

1. NEW: Theater View file captions are part of the File Info Template system so are more easily customizable (sorry, but this requires a reset of File Info Template customization).
2. Fixed: The DSD encoder was not accepting 192KHz input.
3. Faster: DSD encoding is faster.
4. Changed: Theater View offers a Russian keyboard (thanks to Nickolay V).
5. NEW: Added RatingStars() expression to return the rating as star characters.
6. Fixed: The display of actors and other list fields for Netflix movies in Theater View was not formatted properly.
