New translations

Thanks to the community effort, Media Browser Server is now about 60% translated, and new languages have been added. We're still looking to improve our localization, so please let us know if you would like to help translate.




DLNA Play To Improvements

Again thanks to community efforts, we've improved our DLNA Play To device support. This is still an ongoing effort, so please join in and share your experiences with us.


DLNA Server

Media Browser now features a full DLNA server, which significantly increases the number of devices we support. It is highly configurable and allows you to choose which user library is presented by the server. (This can be selected independently for each device and will be discussed later).

As this is a brand new feature it may not yet work with every device out there. Please join in the community effort to report issues and expand our device support.





Enhanced DLNA Profile Editing

It's now easier than ever to edit DLNA profiles, and a number of new settings have been added to help you fine tune for your devices. You can even choose which user library is presented to each device by the Dlna server.




New Server Notification System

This is a fun one. Now when various server events take place, you can choose how and when you want to be notified:




Once you enable a notification, you can choose who receives it, what notification services are used, and you can customize the message title.




By default, the server ships with one included notification service, the dashboard notifications you've already come to know and love. How do you get more? By installing them from the plugin catalog:




New Transcoding Audio Boost Setting

Depending on how you've encoded your media, you may or may not want the audio boost we're applying. So now you can control that.



New Collection Grouping Setting

With the last release we enabled movie collection grouping, and we understand not everybody is going to want that, so now you can control it easily.




Improved Mobile Layouts

Backdrops on your smartphone? Check! And an easy to use media controller..




New Display Mirroring

Now when you select your player, you can enable display mirroring, and as you browse around in the web client the same content will also be displayed on the app your controlling. Please note you won't see this option with all clients until they've added support for this.
