This is primarily a maintenance release but does have a few important additions and changes.

 

 

Check out the new Wiki:

 

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki

 

We've been working hard on a new wiki to help document all of the features of Media Browser. So to that end...

 

 

In App Help:

 

You'll now see conveniently placed, context-sensitive help buttons through the web interface.

When you click a help button you'll be taken to the corresponding wiki page that will help walk you through the feature. Be patient with us if some of the wiki pages aren't yet complete, they will be soon.

 

 

User Device Access

 

Now you can configure the devices a user is able to utilize to connect to your server. This setting will affect everything from logging into that device, to remote controlling it, and to the users that are displayed publicly on that device's login screen.

Expanded TV Naming Support

 

Our parsing of episode file names has significantly improved and is now based on Kodi's engine and rules. This will dramatically improve our ability to find internet metadata. In a future release, look for the rules to become configurable similar to Kodi's advancedsettings.xml.

 

 

Changes to Mixed Folders and Complex TV Structures

 

In order to avoid incorrect content matches, we are no longer going to attempt to auto-detect the contents of mixed folders. It will be up to you to use the metadata manager to set the content type of the sub-folders contained in your mixed library. The "mixed movies & tv" type has now been renamed to unset. That is, when you setup your mixed folder, you are leaving the content type unset, and will then set it manually on the sub-folders using the metadata manager:

While this will be a manual process for users who like mixed folders, it will also eliminate the possibility of incorrectly determining the content type.

 

 

Bugs Resolved

  • PGS subtitles not working in the web client
  • Search was returning missing & unaired episodes
Stay tuned for something awesome

 

Whenever we have a release as light as this you can be sure, we've got something big up our sleeves. Stay tuned.
