Thanks to the efforts of a new community member, a new plugin is available in the catalog to generate Roku seek thumbnails.
This provides a nice visual experience when seeking on the device.
In Roku language this is called Bif trick mode, and the thumbnail generation process creates a .bif file. It even has an option to save the .bif file alongside your media for easy archiving.
Important Note: The process to create these thumbnails is slow and will affect your server's CPU

Google announced Android TV at their annual Google I/O conference last year and we immediately saw it as a huge opportunity not only for Media Browser but also for the industry as a whole.
The smart TV market is thriving but the use of the actual smart features are greatly limited because each manufacturer, for the most part, chose to implement their own environment which makes it very difficult for app developers to support them all. This, in turn, makes it hard for users to find the apps t

Whilst this new release doesn't have a list as long as your arm with changes, the major change it does have should impact anyone who streams videos using the app. This release has moved to a better streaming method with the server app, which means the stream is better, and the server is more performant.
Also included in this release is the ability to remove old local servers from the list of servers (if you've rebuilt your machine for example).
Finally, the app is now enabled for Portugu
