I've noticed the last several updates have required physical downloading on my part, before the server would download them itself and all I'd need to do is click restart.

Any plans to bring this back, or have I been mis-remembering?

@Nollog, are you running MB as a service or an application?  If MB is running as an application it should not require physically downloading.  

 

However, if you are running MB as a service, you need to either stop the service, physically download and install the update, then restart the service.  As an alternative, you can also stop the service, run the MB application which will auto-update MB to the current version, close the application, then restart the service.

 

I choose the alternative method because I find sometimes as a result of the MB server update there are other plug ins which also need to be updated. The saves a lot or restarts for the service, if I let the application do it's thing and then once all updates are finished I shut down the application and restart the MB Server service.

Congrats for the release! Ready to for testing new Alphas.

Nice screenshot for the tags by the way

ah, thanks i do remember switching from the service mode one before, just didnt remember why.

Like the new features, but noticed that none of my MP4 movies are playing back in the current web client (IE 11), most of them used to play just fine.  The cause appears to be disabling the Windows Media foundation support for mp4 files. As soon as I enable this, the mp4 files play just fine. Problem with that approach LAV filters do not kick in for mp4 files for other clients.

 

Note that I will not install or use any google tools including their WEBM. Google has crossed the privacy line for me!

 

EDIT: Just checked and WEBM is actually not a Google tool it is a open source project (WEBM project). After installing it, MP4's play back fine with the Media foundation for mp4 disabled, so LAV filters work with other clients
