The builds 132-136

14.0.136 (01/29/2010)

1. Fixed: Some tooltips would not appear in build 135.
2. Fixed: Library Field Manager dialog would not correctly enforce a minimum height, so controls could overflow.
3. Changed: When starting Media Center with a /Library command line, it no longer loads the previous library before switching to the new library.
4. Changed: Video DSP can be enabled / disabled in Options > General > Advanced > Features > Video DSP. (disabled by default)
5. Fixed: AC3 output in DSP Studio was not accepted by some audio renderers/sound cards.
6. Fixed: DLNA renderer was not properly eventing changes to subscribed controllers, which could cause issues like tracks not advancing.
7. Changed: DLNA servers more nicely handle devices that make multiple event subscription requests with the same URL.
8. Changed: When running Media Center elevated, shell extensions and launcher commands from non-elevated applications can still control Media Center.

14.0.135 (01/28/2010)

1. Changed: DSP Studio Filter will not be inserted if Dolby AC3 SPDIF is the current output format of the upstream decoder filter.

3. Fixed: Sorting control used in the Smartlist Editor could draw with a black background.
4. NEW: DSP Studio 'Output Format' supports downmixing from 7.1, 5.1, and 4.0 to any configuration with less channels. (i.e. 5.1 to 2.0)
5. Changed: Improved the messaging at the top of DSP plugins to show the audio format, and better message playback types that don't support DSP.
6. Fixed: DSP Studio was causing problems with some types of videos.
7. Fixed: Statusbar text could draw too large with some skins.
8. Optimized: Tooltips are created on demand and destroyed once hidden instead of being always created.

3. Changed: Improved appearance of several areas of the program when using skins that have gradient dialog backgrounds like 2nd Stage, etc.
4. Optimized: Improved rendering performance with skins that use gradient dialog backgrounds.
5. Optimized: Dialogs with static text controls use fewer render cycles in certain cases.
6. Fixed: J. River audio engine (using DirectShow filters) could build a wrong DirectShow graph and fail to play an audio file if the audio decoder was set to use SPDIF passthrough mode.

1. NEW: DSP Studio for video supports 'Output Format' settings, including upmixing to 5.1 and output as AC3.

4. Changed: Improved volume support when controlling DLNA devices.
5. Changed: Improved eventing of playback information when being controlled by a DLNA controller.

1. NEW: DSP Studio is now available in video playback when using J. River video engine (using DirectShow filters). [note that Volume Levelling and Output Format do not work]
2. NEW: Added the ability to browse other DLNA servers and play content from them locally or to a different DLNA renderer. (works like Library Server, so pick the DLNA server in Menu > File > Library)
3. Fixed: The on screen volume would blink every time a file started playback when using Internal volume. [thanks, gappie]
