Introducing Cloud Sync & Folder Sync

 

We worked really hard on sync during this release cycle to bring you new feature that you'll find useful. Cloud & Folder Sync allow you to sync media to external locations, whether it be for backup purposes or to archive content in multiple resolutions. Apps can then stream the content from the cloud instead of your server, thereby sparing your upload bandwidth.

 

To setup Cloud Sync or Folder Sync, see the Services tab of the Sync control panel. Look for separate blog posts on these soon with detailed walk-throughs.

Goodbye GDI, Hello ImageMagick

 

We've migrated all of our image processing functions from GDI to ImageMagick, thus clearing the way for the server to run smoothly on NAS devices such as Synology. Look for a Synology package soon. While we were at it, we learned a few new tricks, and in the future you may see the server create more beautiful, automatic images such as

Enhanced Live TV Metadata

 

Live TV will now be enhanced with internet metadata for movies, and the suggestions page in the web interface now has an Upcoming Movies section.

Support more WTV metadata

 

We'll now extract episode information from embedded metadata in the event the file is not named according to TV naming recommendations. This hasn't made it to auto-organize yet, but it's planned for the future.

 

DLNA Cast & Crew Setting

 

We like rich metadata, but we understand many people just want the quickest path from point A to point B. The server dashboard now has a setting to turn off the Cast & Crew feature.

 

New Fanart.TV Images

 

Support has been added for the following images:

  • Season posters
  • Season banners
Other Fixes
  • Detect incomplete nfo's and supplement with internet metadata
  • Fixed playlist content being playable when it shouldn't be
  • Resolved browser-based live tv playback issues
