Changes in JRiver Media Center 34.0.23 (2025-05-01):

• Fixed: Figured out the necessary channel arrangement for VST3 7.1.4 (it’s different than the MC arrangement) (thanks Chris Connaker!).
• Changed: Removed the VST channel selection node for 7.1.4 because it is no longer needed.
• Changed: Rich Data is now viewable on library clients.

Changes in JRiver Media Center 34.0.22 (2025-04-29):

• Changed: Added a new node to the VST channel selection for “Dolby 7.1.4” (it needs a different VST define than Steinberg::Vst::SpeakerArr::k71_4).
• Changed: Updated the Catalan language (thanks Josep).
• Fixed: ID3v2 WXXX tags were not being read properly.
• Changed: Slovak translation updated
• Fixed: When there was a missing folder it was no longer being cleaned up by auto-impoort since the detection of mounts.
• Changed: Updated all the skins with various fixes for problems from the last changes

Changes in JRiver Media Center 34.0.19 (2025-04-28):

• Fixed: Modern Cards: Grey Edition was showing a strong divider in lists the last few builds (reverted to be like previously).
• Fixed: APO import was not reading frequencies from some files.
• Fixed: Skins with round corners could show a minor artifact when in fullscreen Display View or Theater View.
• NEW: JRVR support for r210 10-bit packed RGB input (for some capture cards).
• Fixed: Added some missing skin items back to ModernCards Dark.
• NEW: Support for rendering Theater View in BT.2020 color primaries (Settings -> Theater View -> Advanced).
• Changed: Upgrading Media Center through the Installer will copy the cached Spotlight data.

• Changed: JRiver Media Center will cache a higher resolution thumbnail for cover art, reducing access to the full resolution image. This will cause the thumbnail cache to be rebuild. Updating both server and client is recommended.
• Changed: JRiver Media Center will force VSYNC to be enabled in the NVIDIA profile to avoid video playback glitches.
• NEW: VST3 can have the channel selection fully manual to fine tune your speaker profile (Options > Audio > Advanced > VST Channel Selection).
