As many of you know, we have a lot of really smart people contributing here. Many have stepped up in recent months to help with a number of projects, notably the Linux and FreeBSD releases you're all enjoying. Now it's time to acknowledge other great things that are happening in our community and introduce you to some new faces. If you're knowledgeable in these areas or would like to help test, then jump right in! Https support - Jabbera This will be coming sooner than we originally planned thanks to Jabbera.

If it's compelling enough we may even adjust our release schedules to accommodate it.

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 Portuguese users. If there's a language you would like to see the app in, and would be willing to help out, please get in touch and we can help make this happen. As always, the app can be downloaded (or updated) from http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=f4971ed9-f651-4bf6-84bb-94fd98613b86

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. Identification Options Now when you use the identification feature of the metadata manager, you can choose whether or not to replace images as part of the operation. Sharper than Ever on Your Retina Devices A number of icons have been upgraded and now the web client looks nice and sharp no matter what resolution or browser you're running. 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. 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.
