Changelog for 2.3.14 (32bit and 64bit)
NEW FEATURES:
1. Added support to drag and drop folders onto the queue
2. Added option to filter based on show type (Movie or Shows) in the conversion task settings
3. Added option in Conversion Task Settings for automatically importing converted files into the iTunes library
4. Added option to add the converted files to the Windows Media Player (WMP) library
5. Added support for parental rating in custom commands and custom file renaming, %rating%
6. Added support for manually specifying logon network credentials under Expert Settings for shared network files when adding using the Add button or dragging and dropping from a network share.
7. Added option to skip reprocessing videos that already have a converted file lying the destination directory
8. Added option to skip reconverting videos that have been converted in the past (based on history file and name of destination file)
9. Added support for forcing commercial segment joining tool CommercialMergeTool=ffmpeg/avidemux in profiles.conf
10. Added an option under Conversion->Expert Settings to Skip copying original files. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SETTINGS. DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING.
11. Added a post movement of converted file to destination folder custom command (PostCustomCommand, refer to documentation for more details)
12. Added a pre metadata extraction custom command (very start of the conversion process). This can be useful for folks who want to use custom scripts or programs to extract metadata fort eh recording from the databases/sources so that MCEBuddy can process it (e.g. writing a script to extract metadata for the recording from the DVBLink recording database into a XML file that can be processed by MCEBuddy). (PreMetaCustomCommand, refer to the documentation for more details)
ENHANCEMENTS:
13. Improved GUI status page layout, more intuitive. History button is now on status page
14. Added option to force recording type as Movie or TV Series in conversion expert settings to enhance downloading metadata from the internet for non WTV files
15. Improved eMail notifications
16. Improved metrics details
17. Support for larger history (INI) file (about 45,000 sections, each section can have about 1500 entries)
18. Improved metadata support for WTV and WMV files
19. Updated ffmpeg to Jul 18 2013 18:01:33 build
20. Updated comskip to 0.81.056
21. Update MediaInfo to 0.7.64
22. Upgraded AviDemux to 2.6.4
23. MP4, MKV and M4V profiles now support multiple audio tracks by default
24. Reduce CPU utilization while GUI is minimized
25. Reenabled option to install ffdshow upon installed MCEBuddy (see below for fix for WTV files)
26. Optimized frame references while encoding to speed up encoding for MP4, M4V, MKV, iPhone, iPad profiles. About 20%-30% faster now for high quality and normal profiles
27. Now when MCEBuddy is outside scheduled conversion times it will PAUSE the conversion (in addition to not starting a new one) and will resume it when within conversion scheduled times. Also when switching back to A/C power it will check if it’s within scheduled conversion time before resuming
28. Option to “one-time” manually resume conversion when auto paused outside conversion schedule

34. CustomCommand now runs after renaming the converted file, BEFORE moving to the destination folder (while still in temp working folder). So now %convertedfile% will give the final file name and not the intermediary file name.
35. Support for custom command with blank parameters
36. Improved and more responsive ETA calculation for long conversions
37. Increased the limit of maximum files in manual queue from ~800 to ~300,000
