It does not look that light to me, I really like the help and the new handling of mixed folders :-)

wow wow wow, very nice. thank you.

how do I retake the tour?

Furrher to the changes to user device access has there been any progress in allowing remote access to only certain users? Figure now we have no password for local access we could also detect external logins (and allow/deny based on the server tick box on that user)

The switch to "unset" caused me a whole bunch of data loss when trying the new beta. Fortunately reverting to the current stable version got back all the metadata I had to manually enter for a number of movies and anime series, but none of it is being emitted into the MB XML files. On top of that, reverting caused me to be unable to administer my MB install until I deleted the users.db file in appdata (making me have to recreate all the user accounts).

 

Before this gets promoted up to stable, you'll want to do a lot of data loss testing scenarios, I think.

I agree coldacid, I agree. Having similar headaches with naming conventions and missing episode data

the auto-organize stopped working?

all metadata, in mixed folders, destroyed, after the update.

Well, metadata that was stored in MB XML or NFO files in the same folders as the video files wouldn't be destroyed, but it's not picked up until you manually set the content type for each folder (instead of being determined by the metadata files). If "unset" would at least check for the MB XML files and decide based on the filename what the folder should be, this might not have been such a SNAFU.

Looks like the tour is missing a file, I've got a spinning icon on the second image of the tour on two different installs so far:

 

http 404 on the following:

http://server:8096/mediabrowser/dashboard/css/images/tour/dashboard/help.png

 

There is no such file in C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\system\dashboard-ui\css\images\tour\dashboard\

 

The rest looks great

Was surprised to mis a lot of meta data after the update. All my folders have the same name as the movie, but many movie files have extra info in the file name. It seems the mediabrowser fetcher gets confused by  'cryptic' file names instaed of going on the folder names. Before this update that was not a problem

Thank you for the "Replace existing images" option.

my mixed folders lost user metadata

Seeing the same thing as @awakening.  It appears somewhere along the way the identify a movie based on the folder name instead of the file within the folder determined the name of the movie changed.  I recently had to start from scratch with Media Browser (my issue not Media Browsers), however, I had about 100 movies where the files names were Year - movie name.* but the folders were clearly identified with the movie "name (year)".   This had never been an issue until I re-installed Media Browser.  

Personally, I've corrected the issue manually but fixing all those "Year - Movie name" files within the same folder.  However, for new MB3 users this could lead to a very frustrating first experience with this awesome application.

Awesome. Any chance the user device access piece could be expanded to configure transcoding settings per device or device type? For example, if device X (and only device X) is attempting to play media with DTS audio, transcode it since device X doesn't support playing DTS audio. For all other devices, direct play. 

 

Something like that?
