The builds 113-120

18.0.120 (1/22/2013)

1. Changed: Improved buffer management in the audio part of video playback so that it better adapts to lumpy decoding, lumpy DSP, and computer performance.
2. Fixed: DVD playback could stutter with the last couple builds.
3. Fixed: Some internet streams using wma format would not play reliably, or would play but crash on stop. (e.g. streams from SiriusXMStreamer application).
4. Fixed: Ripping multiple movie discs (DVD/Blu-ray) would sometimes show outdated information from the previous disc in the rip progress action window.

18.0.119 (1/21/2013)

1. Changed: Fixed-width dialogs scale their width when using oversized fonts (either in Options > Tree & View or through a large DPI setting in Windows).
2. Fixed: The 'Reset Settings' dialog was not working nicely with large fonts.
3. Fixed: Tooltips would not hide properly if a popup was shown while they were showing.
4. Changed: LAV's aggressive deinterlacing for MPEG-2 content is disabled for DVD ( http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=77533.0 ).
5. Fixed: DLNA audio conversion was downmixing to stereo sometimes when it shouldn't have.
6. Changed: DLNA audio conversion: when in the "convert unsupported formats" mode the DSP settings under advanced are now used. This will help when multichannel material needs to be converted to stereo (under advanced) for most devices.
7. Fixed: Thumbnails for some types of videos were not working on Library Server clients (you might need to manually do Cover Art > Rebuild Thumbnail on the client one time).
8. Fixed: Clicking 'Add Note' in the Notes view and immediately switching away could lead to a crash.
9. Fixed: The search control could show a stale tooltip after coming out of Wizard mode.
10. Changed: Convolution auto-configuration switching supports the marker _1764 for a sample rate.
11. Changed: Carnac leaves image names IMG_####, MVI_####, and SAM_#### intact (instead of changing them to Img ####, etc.)
12. Changed: If a video has a pure black frame at the thumbnail location, the thumbnailer will seek one minute farther into the file and try again.
13. Fixed: Date ranges like [Last Played]=10m-300m were not being evaluated properly by the search engine.
14: Changed: DLNA: For aggregate DVD's and MPEG2 DVD Autofps conversion, change the DLNA flags to reflect the target framerate.
15: Fixed: DLNA: When convert when necessary was set for video, mkv's with mpeg2 should have been converted (since the DLNA protocol doesn't require mkv support) but were not. They will be now.

18.0.118 (1/18/2013)

1. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun!).
2. Fixed: Backed out a change from 18.0.107 that was preventing some renderers from seeing audio and image files.
3. Fixed: In some cases the search engine was not ignoring accented letters as expected.
4. Fixed: The mouse cursor was not changing properly with build 117.
5. Fixed: With certain DSP enabled, it could cause audio during video playback to skip more than necessary.
6. Changed: The mouse wheel on the position slider seeks instead of fast forward / rewinds.
7. Fixed: Mouse wheel handling was not working properly for the last few builds.
8. Changed: JPEG tagging preserves the file creation date.
9. Fixed: Interface plugin views were not working nicely with tabs.
10. Fixed: ZoneSwitch was not working as expected if the play zone was already active.
11. Changed: When attempting to play something other than audio to a linked zone, an error is shown offering to unlink and continue or cancel playback.
12. Fixed: Starting Play Doctor with an empty seed was not working nicely in some cases.

18.0.117 (1/16/2013)

1. Fixed: When using the Chromium browser engine and starting directly into Theater View, it could cause problems with madVR entering exclusive mode.
2. Fixed: In some cases MC would report zero files on a valid Blu-ray disc in rip action window.
3. Changed: The launcher accepts a simplified syntax for commands, so "MC18.exe /Command Pause" can be written "MC18.exe /Pause". (/Command is unnecessary for all commands, but supported for backwards compatibility)

18.0.116 (1/16/2013)

1. NEW: DoP bitstreaming supports any number of channels (instead of only stereo).
2. Changed: Audio Path displays more useful information when bitstreaming and it allows the blue light to come on (ie. direct mode).
3. Fixed: A few UI issues with build 115.
4. Fixed: Picking a sample rate in DSP Studio > Output Format could crash in rare cases.
5. Fixed: CD ripping crashes due to internal messaging system changes.
6. Fixed: Browsing for folders using the system dialog didn't properly disable the dialog that started the browse, making it possible to incorrectly perform other actions behind the browse dialog.

18.0.115 (1/15/2013)

1. Changed: Audio bitrates for video conversion.
2. NEW: Added MPEG/DVD autofps video conversion.
3. Changed: Revised mp4 and h264ts video conversion to conform to 4.0 profile (was 4.1).

18.0.114 (1/14/2013)

1. Fixed: Possible crash with build 113 due to internal changes.
2. Fixed: Gapped fade between tracks mode could have an audible hiccup when resampling using the last few builds.
3. NEW: Added 352,800 Hz as a possible resampling option in DSP Studio > Output Format.
4. Fixed: Caching of drive availability could lead to a case where auto-import would incorrectly remove a file on a hard drive that comes and goes (like a USB drive with a power switch, etc.).
5. Fixed: The mouse was not always working nicely with vertical child rollers in Theater View.

18.0.113 (1/11/2013)

1. Changed: Renamed the MP4TS conversion selections to H264-TS and made the MPEG2 more consistently descriptive.
2. NEW: Add smart frame rate conversions (_AUTOFPS). H264 targets maintain the original framerate. MPEG2TS targets convert to the nearest valid frame rate.
3. Changed: Updated the DLNA content flags.
4. Changed: the Samsung bd/tv template to remove the PS3 compat flag and to change the default conversion to H264-TS.
5. Changed: Internal revisions to how threads and messaging are handled (should be internal change, but please report any issues).
