16. Added support for TiVO files (need MAK key)
17. Added ForceWTVStreamsRemuxing=true flag to profile

24. Some profiles are about 23% faster during conversion now
25. Cancelling job almost instant now
26. UniversalCommercialRemover=true now forces all commercial removal to happen post conversion, unless PreConversionCommercialRemover=true is specified

32. Support multiple audio tracks in output file. If you select <Default> as the Audio Language in the conversion options AND add "-map 0:a -map 0:v" in the ffmpeg-video section for the ffmpeg profile and it will copy/convert all audio tracks. This only works with ffmpeg profiles
33. Handles files with corrupted audio / 0 channel audio better and faster.
34. Normal naming convention does not use record date in the name if the season and episode information are available
35. Extracting Showname and AirDate from Filename (SHOWNAME_YYYYMMDD_XYZ or SHOWNAME_YYYYMMDD) for Metadata lookup

41. Support for virtually any extension through <encoder>-remuxto
42. If MCEBuddy finds an XML file in the temp directory it moves it to the destination folder along with the converted file (useful if Comskip is set to generate XML files or any other app/tool)
43. Clicking the X button minimized MCEBuddy. Press the “ESC” key or close button to close MCEBuddy
44. Custom Commands now supports %season%## and %episode%##
45. Added support for iPad, iPad HiRes and iPhone HiRes profiles
46. Added a parameter section for DVRMSRemux in mcebuddy.conf for remuxing DVRMS files
47. Added a 2 new translation languages, Malay and Urdu

49. Added a flag in mcebuddy.conf to IgnoreCopyProtection=true. When set the conversion will log an error it if encounters a copy protected video but will continue conversion
50. Improved handling of corrupted and H264 remuxing
51. Better support for detecting hung processes
52. Improved Subtitles sync when cutting commercials. Can be adjusted using the SubtitleSegmentOffset=x.x parameter in mcebuddy.conf

54. Event logs are now taken from the remote engine machine
55. Added support for the latest version of ffmpeg which has broken WTV and MP4 support, refer to ffmpeg bug #2227

BUGFIXES:
56. Non TS/DVRMS/WTV files not remuxed when commercial removal disabled
57. <encoder>- unsupported flag was broken in 2.3.11
58. Conversion failures due to Zero Channel audio tracks which caused Trimming and conversion issues for TS and WTV files
59. Custom Commands, some parameters broken
60. Hang if get MediaInfo is clicked while paused
61. Cropping, causing the conversion to fail sometimes
62. Very small cuts (<5 seconds) sometimes caused the commercial removal to fail
63. Some WTV files are not being read by FFMPEG, use RemuxSupp instead
64. When there are over 1000 files in the queue, the GUI starts flashing and stops responding
65. Copy encoder which would cause TS from WTV/DVRMS/TS to accidentally delete the original TS file
66. Audio video sync for AVI Mpeg2 profiles and provided more redundancy options. TS and AVI MPEG2 profiles have been renamed to better consistency
67. Archive & Delete Original now only take effect if the recorded file and converted files don’t have the same name and paths
68. Audio delay now working properly with support for multiple audio streams
69. MCEBuddy now prefers non-impaired audio streams ONLY when the audio language has been selected in the conversion task page. This is to avoid blank audio streams (impaired)
70. Remote Client not able to remember remote engine name
71. Sometimes downloading series information from TVDB/MovieDB would get the wrong country / show or blank information
72. Fixed ffmpeg based profiles for devices (lack of “” in vf filter would cause conversion to fail)
73. Fixed aspect ratio / stretching of some SD recordings
74. Changing the language locale started a new app
75. BigFix: Closed captions offset not always consistent when using handbrake
76. Fix an issue with the metadata encoding, now it supports local encodings instead of Latin-1 or UTF-8
77. Re-remuxing audio due to zero channel audio with language selection leading to wrong audio track selection
78. While removing commercials from a TS file, if there are more than 1 audio track they extra tracks would get lost leaving the converted file with only 1 audio track (randomly chosen)
79. In constant quality mode (e.g. -qscale) MCEBuddy will not adjust the quality to compensate for resolution changes since it is constant quality
80. With rename only, files now follow the settings of Delete Original, Archive and Sync Converted Files
81. Screen now scrolls properly if the form size is larger than usable screen size
82. Network credentials for new tasks before saving sometimes did not work
83. Forcing a IMDB movieid for movies did not work
84. Invalid duration checking for video sometimes caused conversion failure
85. Don’t sent conversion failure eMail if meta match filter fails
86. General Settings were not saved if changed before Conversion Tasks or Monitor Tasks were updated
87. Closed captions extraction would cause the conversion to fail with commercial cutting was enabled
88. ShowMedia Info caused the GUI to crash
89. Commercial removal would fail with empty EDL files
90. [ and ] are not allowed in filenames since it messes up the History and Conf INI files
91. If SRT files were empty, conversion would fail
92. Major bug which prevented MCEBuddy from monitoring and writing to some directories (both local and remote). Now ALL remote files will need a username and password to connect to the network resource UNLESS the remote drive accepts guest OR everyone authentication. MCEBuddy does NOT support mapped drives.
93. Sync converted file now also deletes EDL, SRT and XML files along with the converted file
94. Commercial removal would fail if a ‘ character was in the filename
95. Some recordings would lead to no audio in the converted file
96. Accidentally deleted EDL and SRT files after a successful conversion
97. CustomCommandParameters are now NOT enclosed in Double Quotes. If the application requires Double Quotes, you need to enclose the parameters in double quotes in CustomCommandParameters. E.g. “%episodename%”.

90. and are not allowed in filenames since it messes up the History and Conf INI files
91. If SRT files were empty, conversion would fail
92. Major bug which prevented MCEBuddy from monitoring and writing to some directories (both local and remote). Now ALL remote files will need a username and password to connect to the network resource UNLESS the remote drive accepts guest OR everyone authentication. MCEBuddy does NOT support mapped drives.
93. Sync converted file now also deletes EDL, SRT and XML files along with the converted file
94. Commercial removal would fail if a ‘ character was in the filename
95. Some recordings would lead to no audio in the converted file
96. Accidentally deleted EDL and SRT files after a successful conversion
97. CustomCommandParameters are now NOT enclosed in Double Quotes. If the application requires Double Quotes, you need to enclose the parameters in double quotes in CustomCommandParameters. E.g. “%episodename%”.

80. With rename only, files now follow the settings of Delete Original, Archive and Sync Converted Files
