JRiver Media Center 20.0.49

JRiver Media Center 20 – all-in-one media management app turns any Windows PC into an entertainment hub for complete control of your digital media: Audio, Video, Images, and Television. It connects PC to stereo, TV, remote control devices, digital cameras, scanners, and portable MP3 players. It plays all media, rips, burns, and organizes all your music, images, and video. MC encodes and plays all popular media formats. Powerful utilities include Media Server for streaming music and images to remote PCs. Media Center is more than a world class player. It’s also a Media Network, a whole house music, movie, TV, and photo solution. The leader in audiophile quality sound. The most powerful media database available; an essential tool for large collections.

JRiver Media Center plays more file formats than any other player. Connected media from Netflix, Hulu, Last.fm, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia. And it sends to Flickr, Facebook, and Twitter.

JRiver Media Center supports more cell phones, MP3 players, DLNA, and other devices. Powers an HTPC to entertain your family. Even different playback in multiple zones. And it can record high definition TV, and provide a replacement for cable TV. It has a Theater View interface, controllable by a MC Remote, an iPad, iPhone, Android, a Windows netbook or Touchscreen. JRiver Media Center is a DirectShow player. Obsessive taggers will be delighted with cover art and metadata options. And MC backs up your work so you can sleep at night.

JRiver Media Center has a streamlined user interface designed to make it even easier to organize, find and play your digital files, and to connect to hardware devices. Make a CD of music for your car. Record your favorite shows and watch them on your TV. More than one soundcard? Play different music simultaneously in different rooms.

What's New :
Red October HQ uses madVR v0.87.11.
Made it optional to increase the volume of DSD to PCM by +6 dB (Options > Audio > Advanced > Configure input plug-in > DSD input plug-in) (note that you need to reanalyze for volume level if you make this change).
Added a bunch more stock Smartlists (create using Tree > Playlists > Right-click > Add Stock Smartlists).
Updated French translation (thanks p.v.).
Another attempt at fixing the problem of MC not being able to use some multiple identical TV devices (tuners or capture devices). Please test.
A few more strings are translatable that weren’t before.
8x DSD output wasn’t working (testing appreciated).
Updated Slovak translation (thanks Peter Lukac).
Removed Options > Startup > Set volume because each zone has its own startup volume.
Added an Unswap(…) expression function that takes Last name, First name and flips them to First name Last name.
Added a Swap(…) expression that takes First name Last name and swaps to Last name, First name.
Added an image height and image width field that gets filled when thumbnailing.
Spacebar always fires play / pause instead of only when full screen is focused (experimental change — may not remain).
DLNA: Pushing audio files in “original format” from a JRiver server to a JRiver renderer will send along the R128 Peak and Volume leveling values. This allows the renderer to do the volume leveling (if the option is enabled in DSP studio).
Media Center could crash when searching through WebGizmo or MCWS.
