1. Changed: MC television time-shifting reader filter does a better job of buffering data when playing files from a network drive.
2. NEW: Added a new Theater View option "Disable Windows Media Center (useful if it is launching on the Green button, etc.)". (requires UAC elevation)
3. NEW: Added WASAPI option "Present 24-bit data in a 32-bit package". (some audiophile hardware needs 24-bit data while most consumer level hardware needs 24-bit data in a 32-bit package)
4. NEW: Improved web service interface (MCWS) so that all playback functions support zones.
5. NEW: When connecting to a Library Server, the server zones are added to the client zones under Playing Now to allow playback to any zone of the server or any zone of the client. (this replaces the 'Here' / 'There' popup)

4. NEW: Added YouTube Theater View integration that allows browsing popular, recent, etc. and allows doing searches.
5. Changed: Added a tip to the Monitor Switcher (MC14.exe /MonitorSwitch) for how to switch between two different displays on Windows 7. (requires two calls instead of one like Vista and earlier)

3. Fixed: Possible crash when scrolling in lists.
4. Changed: The text on the installer button "Next" is changed to "Next >", to be consistent with "< Back" button, and to avoid translation confusion with "Next" as in "Next Track".

Expect automation in a future build.
2. Changed: When connecting the a Library Server, the Filename is no longer updated to show a URL -- instead this happens internally at playback time.

5. Changed: Quicktime file types (except mov, qt, m4p, and m4b) that are set to use "Automatic" Playback Method will be played using DirectShow instead of Quicktime engine if needed DirectShow filters are found on the computer.
6. Changed: Increased timeout used when searching for Library Servers.
7. Fixed: In some cases, searching for a Library Server could find a server running on the local machine, causing a possible circular reference.
