Versionshistoria Plex Media Server (Mac OS X)

<<Tillbaka

Förändringar v0.9.5.3 -> v0.9.5.4

• ¦If you’ve experienced an issue with TV scans missing posters or other artwork, somewhat randomly, this has been fixed; we’ve been experiencing increasingly heavy traffic with all the new users, so we had to bulk up our infrastructure!
• ¦Movie matching should be more accurate and much faster; we now have a fully automated system which improves the agent matching over time based on the anonymous data sent back. Pretty cool, right?
• ¦We’ve pushed quite a few updates to the agents to fix non-ASCII poster/subtitle filename issues on Linux, metadata for personal show scanning, and a number of other issues.
• ¦We released a new version of Plex for Android, with fixes and a few new features. The update for Google TV is coming shortly!
• We’re in the process of pushing a new release of Plex for iOS today to Apple, should be available in a week or so. Fixes and goodies abound, and to be nice, here’s a full list of changes you have to look forward to:
• ¦NEW: Home screen sections can be re-ordered or hidden. Yay!
• ¦NEW: Background art while browsing. Pretty!
• ¦NEW: Easier to read list view when browsing by folder. Useful!
• ¦FIX: High bitrate content will correctly transcode instead of attempting Direct Play (thanks, majortom!)
• ¦FIX: Media deletion & progress reporting works when using myPlex without publishing servers.
• ¦FIX: Network addresses are resolved earlier to make playing media on remote clients more reliable.
• ¦FIX: Easier method for adding friends.
• ¦FIX: Crash when attempting to set a user rating for an item with no community rating.
• ¦FIX: Crash marking a show (un)watched.
• ¦FIX: A few layout & graphical issues.
• We also have a new Plex Media Server release for you, with a number of improvements, which can be downloaded from the usual place (and shortly from auto-update):
• ¦NEW: Added (advanced) preference for specifying location of Aperture/iPhone XML paths. The preference is ApertureLibraryXmlPath for Aperture and iPhotoLibraryXmlPath for iPhoto. Yes, we’re going to have an easy way to get at these advanced preferences soon.
• ¦NEW: (Linux) Allow syslog logging via environment variable PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USE_SYSLOG. This has been requested for ages.
• ¦NEW: (API) Massive performance improvement for players that ask for paged data (e.g. for Roku). If you have large library sections, you’ll notice a big change; with 1000 items, the page requests are 6 times faster.
• ¦NEW: (API) Added /library/sections/X/{sorts|filters} endpoints for advanced filtering.
• ¦FIX: Sidecar (e.g. SRT) subtitle files work again. Sorry, that was a bad regression.
• ¦FIX: (Windows) Upload speeds from the server were artificially slow in some cases. We’d gotten sporadic reports over the months that upload speeds seemed limited, and we finally managed to track down the issue. The upload speed will now max out your connection, and will take much less CPU as well.
• ¦FIX: A crash when scanning for plug-ins when permissions are wrong.
• ¦FIX: (Mac) Fix some Aperture photos not displaying properly.
• ¦FIX: Library timeline could generate blank items occasionally.
• ¦FIX: Web interface didn’t show added and deleted items properly when scanning.
• ¦FIX: Don’t pass back bogus blank content ratings.
• ¦FIX: (Linux) DLNA icon and server name were missing on some platforms.
• ¦FIX: When overwriting plug-ins, files that don’t exist anymore are deleted.
• ¦FIX: Handle 302 as well as 301 redirects in the image transcoder.
• ¦FIX: When scanning files that had already been scanned, they didn’t end up with thumbnails.
• ¦FIX: Certain image formats (TIFF, BMP, PCX) didn’t get thumb nailed.
• ¦FIX: Fixed sleep prevention, OS X (and possibly Linux) should sleep now.
• ¦FIX: (Windows) Fixed a crash on start.
• ¦FIX: (Synology) DLNA to PS3 wasn’t working.
• ¦FIX: (DLNA) Memory leak in DLNA server process.
• ¦FIX: (DLNA) Fixed PS3 audio dropouts by transcoding to stereo for now in the profile.
• ¦FIX: (DLNA) Fixed evaluation of limitations.
• ¦FIX: (DLNA) Fixed AAC audio not playing to PS3.
• ¦FIX: (DLNA) Build-in profile now supports Samsung SmartTVs (thanks, holzi!)
• We also have some fixes in a new release of the Plex Laika desktop client:
• ¦FIX: Update RTMP to 2.4
• ¦FIX: Fix for connectivity issues when PMS isn’t running locally (thanks to elwertk).
• ¦FIX: Playback of interlaced H.264 content (MBAFF) was broken (thanks to elwertk).
• ¦FIX: Use the same user agent as earlier in Plex/Nine.
• ¦FIX: Add the Plex language and version headers.
• ¦FIX: When forced transcode was enabled, playback could fail for local files.
• ¦FIX: Support for chained indirects in channels.

Förändringar v0.9.3.3 -> v0.9.3.4

• NEW: We’ve added a preference to disable media file deletion, and we’ve defaulted it to off, for the sake of safety (yes, Bruce, we’re listening). If you want to enable the option, please head to your friendly neighborhood web-based media manager at http://localhost:32400/manage and enable it:
• NEW: There is a new API endpoint /library/optimize which, as you might expect, optimizes the library database. Useful in clients or cron jobs.
• And the fixes:
• FIX: When refreshing a library section because changes to folders were detected, we wait until the changes stop before kicking off the scan, so that we don’t scan partial/locked files.
• FIX: Custom artwork with spaces in path was not displaying properly.
• FIX: This is an amusing one because it’s been there for a long time and nobody noticed. When doing a new scan, every 16th movie wasn’t displayed in the media manager (it was scanned, it just didn’t show up until you switched sections). Thanks to louisd for noticing it!
• FIX: Our friend diamondsw helped us debug an issue where certain MKV files were failing to play on mobile devices.
• FIX: Boots has been reporting this one for a while, there was an occasional hang in the media manager when scrolling quickly.
• FIX: The was an issue scanning if your username had an apostrophe in it.
• FIX: A (rather rare) crash in refreshing/timed updates.
• FIX: [Windows] Sign all Python extensions. Apparently some of the AV products are coming up with some false positives on the media server, and the hope is that this might improve things.
• FIX: [Windows] When exiting, don’t hang waiting for system bundle.
• FIX: [Windows] When OpenSSL DLLs were installed into system, PMS system bundles wouldn’t start. This would cause the “no agents” issue.
• FIX: [Linux] You can now use the environment variable PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR to specify where all of the media server’s user files go (library, plug-ins, logs, etc.)
• FIX: [WIN32/Linux]: If multiple copies of a piece of media are found, load metadata for all copies.

Förändringar v0.9.2.7 -> v0.9.3.3

• NEW: Support for deleting files in the library. Lots of people wanted this one.
• NEW: Initial support for Photo library sections. This means that the Plex Media Server can serve up your photos without needing to use iPhoto/Aperture, which of course doesn’t exist on Windows or Linux. We’re in the process of adding support to all the clients (e.g. next version of iOS/Android apps will add support, next firmware update for LG TV will add support), but Plex for Mac already supports it in this release. I like this one personally because it means that the Plex Media Server is now complete in the basic types of media it can scan and serve up.
• NEW: Automatic audio boost when mixing down multichannel to stereo for mobile devices. No, you’re not hard of hearing.
• NEW: If subtitle files are dropped in next to a piece of media, they will be picked up on-the-fly without a need to rerefresh the item or section.
• NEW: Support for SUB/IDX subtitles in Plex for Mac. They’re chunky evil bitmaps, but we love them. Sort of.
• NEW: Support for DTS > AC3 transcoding in transcoder (useful for LG TV, ATV2 and others).
• FIX: Subtitle scaling is now uniform, no more giant subtitles. No, you don’t need a different prescription for your glasses.
• FIX: Anamorphic videos were not Direct Streamed.
• FIX: More videos in general Direct Stream (level, nitrate, segment size issues).
• FIX: Improved selection of subtitles with “shown with foreign audio” setting.
• FIX: The SD MKV A/V sync issue.
• FIX: A few bugs on Lion, Plex should now be Lion-ready (which answers this question)!
• NEW: Automatic audio boost when mixing down multichannel to stereo for mobile devices. No, you’re not hard of hearing.
• NEW: If subtitle files are dropped in next to a piece of media, they will be picked up on-the-fly without a need to rerefresh the item or section.
• NEW: Support for SUB/IDX subtitles in Plex for Mac. They’re chunky evil bitmaps, but we love them. Sort of.
• NEW: Support for DTS > AC3 transcoding in transcoder (useful for LG TV, ATV2 and others).
• FIX: Subtitle scaling is now uniform, no more giant subtitles. No, you don’t need a different prescription for your glasses.
• FIX: Anamorphic videos were not Direct Streamed.
• FIX: More videos in general Direct Stream (level, nitrate, segment size issues).
• FIX: Improved selection of subtitles with “shown with foreign audio” setting.
• FIX: The SD MKV A/V sync issue.
• FIX: A few bugs on Lion, Plex should now be Lion-ready (which answers this question)!
• Platform Parity:
• Over time, we want to tend towards platform parity, where features are available on all systems, whenever possible. We’ve taken some important steps towards this:
• NEW: [Windows] iTunes support! (We’ll also be adding support for Linux, for those who have their iTunes XML stored on their Linux-based NAS devices.)
• NEW: [Windows/Linux] Support for timed and automatic library refreshes.
• Music:
• We’re working hard to improve support for music inside Plex, and have made a number of changes in the core, music scanner, and agents, including:
• NEW: Support for “Various Artists” (compilations) in music sections.
• NEW: Initial support for multi-disc albums in music sections.
• FIX: Much improved matching, far fewer false matches.
• Other:
• Even just with the above, this would be a pretty awesome release, but hey, there’s actually a lot more.
• NEW: Faster transcoder startup.
• NEW: Much faster TV and music metadata loading.
• NEW: [Windows] Authenticode all binaries (hopefully preventing AV software from freaking out).
• NEW: [Windows] Configure firewall on install.
• NEW: Listen on new multicast group in GDM to avoid Windows 7 networking bug.
• FIX: Issue where Vorbis streams were not transcoded.
• FIX: Better logging for Python scanner errors while scanning.
• FIX: [OS X] Database migration progress dialog didn’t always work properly.
• FIX: Many fixes for GDM networking code.
• FIX: [Windows] Scans stopping without completing.
• FIX: [Windows] Server could become unresponsive.
• FIX: [Windows] Conflicts with user-installed Python.
• FIX: In certain cases, iOS app wasn’t showing channel images.
• FIX: Unmatched items could become rematched, and items matched to a different agent could go back to the default agent.
• FIX: [OS X] Cocoa media manager no longer jumps back to the grid when you are viewing details during a scan.
• FIX: Hang when remotely playing one file followed by the next on Plex for Mac.
• FIX: [OS X] Directory names are served up in precomposed UTF-8 on OS X (instead of decomposed).
• FIX: [Linux] Crashes reading certain JPEG files.
• FIX: [Linux] Image quality wasn’t as good for posters.
• FIX: [Linux] Advertise on the real IP, not localhost.
• FIX: [Linux] Playing files > 2GB failed.
• FIX: [Linux] Fanart was scaled too small.
• FIX: [Linux] If HOME was set to /, cache path wasn’t computed correctly.
• FIX: Disable IPv6 on Linux/Windows by default, seems to cause problems in some cases.
• FIX: Extreme memory usage or crashes analyzing ISO files.
• FIX: Some crashes on shutdown, and also sped it up.
• FIX: Don’t add the “All Episodes” directory if we don’t have any (e.g. in watched tree).
• FIX: When refreshing older media libraries, bring remote media (poster/art) references local.
• FIX: [OS X] Massive memory leak switching sections in the Cocoa media manager.
• FIX: Offer even higher bitrates over 3G.
• FIX: Issue with media streams in the database that could cause a transcode to fail on start.
• FIX: A handful of other small bugs and crashes.
• XML API:
• Along with the new core features and fixes, we keep enhancing the Plex Media Server’s API. There are new clients appearing all the time, the most recent of which is for Samsung TVs and Bluray players (I’ve tried it, works great!), and we like to provide a rich HTTP interface for these clients. Full documentation for the API will be available shortly.
• NEW: Media XML contains width and height for video and photos.
• NEW: New endpoint GET /library/sections/X/allLeaves (returns all tracks, episodes, etc.)
• NEW: New endpoint DELETE /library/metadata/X
• NEW: Ability to search by filename.
• FIX: Clipping bug in the container paging API.
• FIX: Files with ‘%’ characters were not encoded correctly in XML.

Förändringar v0.9.2.6 -> v0.9.2.7

• Now that the latest iOS version has made it into the store (and thank you so much for your feedback on it, you are all very kind!!), we’ve turned our attention to fixing a few issues with Plex. The new releases are available on the Plex home page, and we will enable auto-update shortly.
• NEW: We display the warning icon on shows/seasons/episodes and artist/album/tracks so that you can see more clearly which media is missing. Also note that if you dislike this feature, you can always disable it in the Library preferences by enabling “Empty trash automatically”. We enable it by default because we never want to delete any of your data without you knowing about it first.
• FIX: We’ve updated the transcoding engine to fix a number of issues, including 3G video playback being audio only (thanks, Chris!), improvements in threading (1080p content should work more smoothly), and according to one tester, DTS-MA now mixes down correctly. Thanks also to mitch969 and others on the forums for all their help testing!
• FIX: A few fixes for for the web-based media manager, including a fix for changes to collections not saving, sections not disappearing from clients when deleted via the web manager, and fixes for the “Match using” and un-match functionality.
• FIX: When an episode is renamed, make sure we reload metadata if the episode or season number changed.
• FIX: If a slideshow screensaver is active, playing content via the iOS or Android remotes turns the screensaver off (thanks to Man for bring this to our attention).
• FIX: A fix for Turbo Scanning where if you edited a library section (to add a new directory, or when moving media, for example), you would need to perform a deep scan to pick up the changes.
• We’ve also been hard at work at improving the music functionality. Besides support for FLAC, we’ve also added and fixed lots of other things. The really nice part is that the changes were to the scanner and agents, which means that they could be pushed out automatically in micro-increments. I love the thought of our users waking up to new features and bug-fixes without the need to download a whole new version!
• NEW: Support for scanning OGG.
• NEW: Improved and enhanced poster gathering from tags in all supported file formats.
• NEW: Music lacking tags is scanned in as “unknown” artist/album.
• FIX: Tons of fixes and improvements around reading tags.
• NEW: Parse track numbers out of filename if they’re not in the tags.
• FIX: Folders with more than 50 files are scanned.

Förändringar v0.9.2.5 -> v0.9.2.6

• An important general fix:
• FIX: As issue when scanning a lot of new content (especially TV shows), where the Media Server could become unresponsive. We are now downloading media at the time of the scan (to make access faster in clients), and there was a bug that could cause an excessive amount of simultaneous downloads to, um, mess things up.
• Some fixes specifically for Windows users:
• FIX: [Win] The issue with season/episode posters not appearing has finally been fixed.
• FIX: [Win] An issue where Plex Media Server refused to start when the user directory had an apostrophe in it. Many thanks to mrrwbrown and nyez1 on the forums for helping us track it down, we really appreciate it!
• And a few subtitle fixes:
• FIX: Subtitles weren’t being automatically enabled when there was just one embedded subtitle in a file and the preference was set to subtitles being “always enabled”.
• FIX: As if that wasn’t bad enough, if a subtitle wasn’t enabled automatically when a file was played on Plex for Mac, it was disabled rather forcefully, so that it wouldn’t (won’t) appear again even if your preferences changed.
• So to summarize, every video you played with the last version which did NOT choose to display subtitles automatically now has them disabled unless you manually enable them. This is likely not a big deal, because if you wanted them enabled you would have likely done so at the time! And the bug is now fixed.
• We are going to be making more subtitle improvements, including fixing IDX/SUB subtitles, adding support for MicroDVD (on mobile clients as well!) and making the whole process of adding subtitles to your media easier and quicker. Don’t worry, we’re just getting started!
• Next up, a few improvements for music fans:
• NEW: Support for scanning FLAC! So I recently upgraded my desk stereo a bit, and as a result, I got into an argument with a friend about MP3 VBR vs FLAC. He insisted that there was a huge difference in imaging and dynamics (words that audiophiles like to throw around, along with “coherence” and “coloration”, as they mark their CDs with green pens and purchase three-hundred dollar HDMI cables in hopes that the zeros and ones are, I don’t know, transmitted in Helvetica?). Anyway, having purchased quite a few CDs in the past, and having ripped them to VBR MP3, I was hoping that he was wrong, because, after all, re-ripping 400+ discs didn’t sound like much fun. To make a long story short, he uploaded three tracks for me in MP3 and FLAC format, and I A/B’d between then (blindly, of course). The result? They both sounded great, and I couldn’t tell the difference to save my life.
• NEW: The Local Media agent has been updated to pull album art out of tags for MP3 and FLAC files. And there was much rejoicing.

Förändringar v0.9.2.4 -> v0.9.2.5

• Well, you know what they say about the best-laid plans of mice, men and software engineers.
• The last release contained a stupid database bug which caused the following issues in certain cases (mostly from-scratch scans):
• Scans wouldn’t bring in new content.
• Deleting the trash would crash the media server.
• We apologize profusely for this issue, and we will strive to do better in the future. For starters, we’ll be sure to push major new releases as incrementals/betas before we push via Sparkle. We’ll also consider either administering beatings or reducing the beer rations as negative incentives for those guilty of the bugs.
• (A known issue with this release – the last few, actually – is IDX/SUB subtitles. We’ll be working on it.)

Förändringar v0.9.2.3 -> v0.9.2.4

• FIX: The Media Server would crash on start if you had certain plug-ins installed with bogus XML.
• FIX: In certain cases, a scan would result in multiple movies showing the same name/poster.
• FIX: A few fixes for soft deletion, including merged movies not showing the /!\ icon.
• FIX: Changing the view type in Unwatched Shows would change the view type for episodes.
• FIX: Possible fix for an OS X Lion crash (Plex is still unsupported on Lion).
• FIX: Plex should now pick DTS/AC3 tracks over stereo when connected to a receiver.
• FIX: When you play a video via iOS application, screen saver is turned off on Plex.
• FIX: [Win] Issue with the transcoder, many videos wouldn’t play.
• FIX: [Win] Posters for seasons/episodes not displaying.
• FIX: [Win] Customization of application support directory wasn’t working.

Förändringar v0.9.1.13 -> v0.9.2.3

• You’ve been patient, and now it’s finally here! We’re not enabling auto-update quite yet for it, so consider this a pre-release. It might even have a bug or two (gasp!). Play with it, and please let us know how you like it. Mac and Windows downloads are available on the home page.
• The iOS app is just getting wrapped up and getting ready for submission.
• (Also, we know that some people are having issues with A/V sync and other playback issues. Please realize that we’re aware of this, and have plans for addressing it. Really.)
• Also, bear in mind that skins need updating for the universal search functionality. Maverick214 and Reddragon220 are hard at work at this, as is se.bastian, who just released his amazing RetroPlex skin, and updated it already to support search. You can get RetroPlex and other skins via the via the most excellent Preen Skin Manager.
• NEW: Universal Search.
• NEW: Direct Play and Direct Streaming for clients.
• NEW: Subtitle support in agents, and streaming subtitles from server to clients (SRT/SMI/SSA).

• FIX: Browsing for subtitles on Plex for Mac client.
• FIX: Flash 10.1/10.2 works now.
• FIX: With newer Flash installed, PMS is not restarted after 5.1 audio (as Flash but was fixed).
• FIX: Refresh works with local media agent even if media isn’t matched (for subs, posters).
• FIX: [Win] Various crashes (shutdown, during scans)
• FIX: [Win] Issue with dialogs popping up asking you to insert drive.
• FIX: [Win] Updated to latest transcoder, fixing lots of issues.
• FIX: [Win] Make sure we don’t conflict with installed Pythons.
• FIX: [Win] Lack of season/episode posters.

Förändringar v0.9.1.5 -> v0.9.1.7 incremental release

• NEW: We’ve fleshed out the Plex Media Manager to allow browsing into seasons and episodes, albums and tracks. It’s here, it’s pretty, and finally you can do things you’ve wanted to do for ages like edit season thumbs. Please note, even though it’s functional, it’s not finished by any means, and things like selection states and keyboard navigation are missing.
• NEW: Separate buttons for refreshing and agent settings.
• NEW: Keyboard shortcuts for Edit Metadata, Refresh, and Fix Incorrect Match.
• NEW: Typing letter scrolls to the first item which starts with that letter in the browser.
• NEW: Show Media Manager when dock icon is clicked.
• NEW: Include the WebManager.bundle in the package. This web-based media manager is really quite awesome. Built using the advanced Cappuccino framework by our one and only Brian D, it gives you a way to access and organize your media via any web browser (even on your iPad) and leaves you wondering “was that really a web app??” Try it yourself by hitting http://x.x.x.x:32400/manage – if you have an older version, delete the WebManager.bundle and let PMS refresh it for you on start (it’ll autoupdate shortly).
• FIX: Delete collection instead section when clicking the [-] button (sorry!)
• FIX: Only allow dropping onto same-section collections.
• FIX: The Fix Incorrect Match button wasn’t working in the details view.
• FIX: We remember selection and scroll location when navigating back.
• FIX: Broken forward navigation, forward swiping in browse view.
• FIX: Missing last character in path bar in media manager.
• FIX: Plex Media Server issue which could result in hang or missing sections/plug-ins.
• FIX: Long beachball adding/removing sections.
• FIX: Rescan whacks collections, they weren’t locked correctly if you created them by dragging and dropping or context menu.
• FIX: Abort on start with Aperture XML file with weird permission/location.
• FIX: Don’t perform Bonjour resolves during video playback, fixes an every-ten-minute or so stutter.
• FIX: Rare crash in Plex when left idle.
• FIX: Continue scanning if we run into permissions issues.
• FIX: Dock icon weirdness when disabling and attempting an immediate restart.
• FIX: We’ve reverted the transcoder to use the older quality settings, which will reduce CPU usage.

Förändringar v0.9.0.21 -> v0.9.1.1

• TweetWithout further ado, we’d like to introduce you to the latest version of Plex/Nine. It’s much more stable, it’s faster, has more features, and it’s also much shinier than the last release. The release can be downloaded via auto-update or from the home page.
• This release also includes all the changes from the various hot-fixes, which I’ll summarize here as well for the sake of completeness.
• NEW: ?Cast information restored to movie information dialog in Plex for Mac.
• NEW: Ability to choose a specific piece of media to watch (e.g. HD, SD) if you have multiple media items. (You can disable this in Preferences > Video.
• NEW: Added back “By Albums” in iTunes plug-in. Sometimes all you need is a little more cowbell.
• NEW: Allow splitting apart TV Shows and Movies in the media manager. You can see an example here.
• NEW: Added an “Unwatched” section for Movies and TV Shows.
• NEW: Added “By Album” in music library sections.
• NEW: Allow browsing for on-disk graphics (posters/art) in the Media Manager.
• NEW: Support for volume control in new remote control protocol.
• NEW: Display number of items for each piece of media (e.g. if you have SD and HD versions of a movie). If you sort by items descending it’s a good way to see if you have any duplicated media (Reveal in Finder will show all of them) or if the agents have mistakenly matched two different pieces of media to the same thing. Yes, I’m really this disorganized, or at least I was until now!
• NEW: Searching for matches in the media manager is now asynchronous and can be cancelled. Death to beach balls!?
• NEW: ?In Preferences > Transcoding, we’ve added an option to offer higher bitrates over 3G.
• NEW: In Preferences > Library, you can optimize your database.
• By far we spent the most time fixing bugs. Hopefully this release will resolve most of the really pesky issues. We appreciate all the patience and kindness you’ve shown us with this first release. As we’ve mentioned, this was a ground-up rewrite of the entire library, so problems were definitely to be expected.
• FIX: That dratted issue with posters and art continually re-downloading off the Internet. The Plex Media Server is now the single entity that downloads the graphics, and all the clients request from it. Expirations have been fixed, and other improvements around caching have been made. The bottom line is that, while not perfect, it should be much, much better. N.B. As part of this change, it’s of course going to have to download everything one last time in order to transition over to this new scheme.
• FIX: Leopard crash on start (thanks, Ryan!). Also a crash on start when your computer didn’t have a name. And a few other crashes on start.
• FIX: Stuttering playback (mostly with HD media). In some cases the cache size was being set incorrectly based on bad analysis, and this could lead to stutters during playback.
• FIX: Anamorphic videos fix for iOS. Additionally, anamorphic MP4 files play correctly on Plex for Mac (thanks, Ryan!).
• FIX: High CPU usage during scan, which could cause stuttering during playback as well.
• FIX: Plug-ins could go missing in Plex when starting at same time as PMS.
• FIX: We now quit the Scanner if the Media Server quits.
• FIX: When detecting a rename, we upload location the in the database, otherwise media gets whacked when removing old location.
• FIX: When a duplicate episode was found, it lost the “addedAt” time (making it disappear from “recently added”).
• FIX: Allow backspace to exit the weather section, preferences, and a few other places where you could get stuck with the iOS app.
• FIX: The “-1? year issue in list view.
• FIX: Better handling of locked database file.
• FIX: In certain cases, stacked movies were not played in the right order.
• FIX: Sometimes partial fanart files were displayed, leading to corrupted images being displayed.
• FIX: Better handling for audio/video distinguishing in iTunes for foreign languages.
• FIX: Allow changing metadata agent settings when there are no sections.
• FIX: Video podcasts passed back as Video elements instead of Track.
• FIX: Hebrew subtitles were displaying punctuation incorrectly.
• FIX: The word “dvdmedia” was displayed at the end of the movie title.
• FIX: Occasionally startup issues could result in agents not showing up, improve the recovery from this.
• FIX: Issue on startup, due to space in home folder.
• FIX: Videos stopping randomly in the middle of play.
• FIX: A few tweaks to the Media Server’s menu bar, to make canceling a library refresh possible, and to make it harder to accidentally start one.
• FIX: iTunes/iLife plug-ins mysteriously disappearing.
• FIX: Lots of crashes while scanning and analyzing media, including some MP3s.
• FIX: The Media Server starts (and installs) on a machine without Internet.
• FIX: We fixed a .BUP/.IFO ordering issue which could cause a crash when playing a VIDEO_TS movie. You’ll need to remove and add the section to fix the ordering (but you won’t lose view state/progress doing so).
• FIX: A buffer overflow issue reported by d1dn0t, which also caused crashes when navigating into some plug-ins.
• FIX: Adding library sections from the command line wasn’t working (thanks, Atrus!).
• FIX: The library would occasionally refresh continually.
• FIX: Crash of the iOS app near the end of a video.

Förändringar v0.5.21 -> v0.5.22

• NEW: You can now configure the way the H.264 decoder does deblocking. Some will you will know this is the “skiploopfilter” setting in ffmpeg. Some will wonder if I’m speaking English. The bottom line is, if you allow the decoder to skip doing deblocking, it’ll be less intensive for the CPU. I’ve found that if you configure it to skip all deblocking, the “killa” bird sample uses about 20% less CPU and plays at a higher frame rate. Bottom line: your mileage may vary, but it may help you with hard-to-play content.
• NEW: Support for the Home and End keys in lists. Also support for using the A/Z keys to skip to the next/previous letter in lists. Jonathan Marshall added support for this last one a while ago, cool dude that he is, so we added a mapping. Also, Isaac added a new mapping for people using Snatch on their iPhone. You’ll have to whack your Keymap.xml file in ~/Application Support/Plex/userdata to get these features.
• NEW: We have included the latest MediaStream skin (no doubt out of date by tomorrow), along with the associated code fixes so that you don’t have to hit escape 23 times to return to the main menu from the Movie/TV sections. You can see some documentation for the new settings in this version of the skin here (many thanks to Jayman978!)
• FIX: We dimmed the wrong screen when you were running with a multi-screen setup and Plex was on the second screen.
• FIX: Some MP3 tags caused a hang. This includes the “Burial” album, so bretonh will be pleased.
• FIX: Refreshing movie info from NFO in VIDEO_TS folders caused a crash.
• FIX: Storing a TV show in multiple places (e.g. some seasons in one place, some seasons in another), whether by multi-path sources or different sources led to duplicates.

Förändringar v0.5.19 -> v0.5.20

• NEW: We now turn off the backlight on displays that are blanked, many thanks to James. I hear the sound of happy Mac users rejoicing.
• NEW: The menu button brings up shutdown menu instead of just exiting, as requested, holding play zooms into photos, and holding menu returns to normal zoom. Also, the escape key has been made to act just like the menu button on the remote. Thanks to Isaac for these improvements!
• NEW: Added the ability to cycle through the available displays. This works in windowed or full-screen modes, and you can use the new ⌘-Shift-→ and ⌘-Shift-← keyboard accelerators to do it. Fun! Plus, ever time I connect things in XCode’s Interface Builder, I get little shivers of pleasure.
• FIX: Weather conditions are correctly localized (thanks, Enrique!)

• FIX: The audio device is now saved and restored correctly in all cases. Seriously.
• FIX: The problem affecting video with some LOL releases (and others) has been fixed (thanks to elupus for the fix to ffmpeg).

Förändringar v0.5.18 -> v0.5.19

• NEW: Our newest Plexville code master, Jam, added the ability to modify the panel brightness for applicable LCDs (iMacs, laptops) via the settings. Lots of other really cool things coming very shortly from him.
• NEW: Greatly simplified settings. Isaac worked really hard to come up with sane default settings, and also to move lots of the more esoteric settings from the UI into advancedsettings.xml. We’ve found that new users tend to run into the same things (e.g. disabling remote events and thus breaking Apple Remote). Plex now ships with a well commented advancedsettings.xml file which will get installed into your Application Support folder if you don’t already have the file. If you want to change settings that no longer appear in the UI, you can either edit the items in the advanced settings file, or remove from them there to make them appear in the UI again. Isaac did an awesome job at choosing reasonable defaults.
• NEW: Revamped the full-screen toggling (⌘-F) to make things more Mac-like. If you go into full-screen and quit, next time it will start in full screen. Also, if you drag the window over to another screen and hit ⌘-F, it’ll go to full-screen on that display. Quit and restart and it’ll be full-screen on that display. In summary, it should act much more intuitively. Thanks to migueld for pushing me on this one, we had lots of new users (rightly!) confused.
• FIX: Certain MKV files could cause crashes.
• FIX: Multi-channel AAC files could cause crashes (with AC3 transcoding). Ryan nailed this one.
• FIX: A regression displaying non-US charsets (e.g. French). Thanks to Soner and others who helped bring the problem to my attention.
• FIX: A regression scanning/refreshing movies in VIDEO_TS folders.
• FIX: Improvements to the German translation of MediaStream (thanks, Spacemessage!)

Förändringar v0.5.15 -> v0.5.18

• My sincere apologies for a bug that crept in with the DTS to AC3 transcoding feature which prevented DTS from down-mixing correctly. If you use usually connect Plex to a surround receiver supporting DTS you would not have been affected.
• The problem has been fixed, and I’ve uploaded the new release. The good news is you should be able to use Sparkle to do the update for you.
• This is Barkley catching guava fruit in his mouth. He loves guava, pineapple, papaya and avocado, and on occasion we’ve caught him eating freshly-fallen mango out in the yard.

Förändringar v0.5.14 -> v0.5.15

• FIX: The issue with using Remote Buddy.
• FIX: DVDs don’t play over SMB (and other non-local protocols).
• FIX: Crashes when thumbnailing MPEG2 files.
• FIX: Annoying popup asking to locate screensaver (99% sure).
• FIX: Hebrew characters should work again (i.e. be the right way around).
• FIX: Apple Movie Trailers thumbs don’t display.
• FIX: Going to full screen without visualizer doesn’t work (thanks, jmarshall!)
• FIX: Problems playing RAR files.
• FIX: Fixed a crash after playing an unplayable file.
• FIX: Cursor sounds work correctly until you play something.
• NEW: Latest version of MediaStream! We’ve added an experimental skin fontset called “Unicode” which uses Arial unicode for all the fonts, it may help international users.
• NEW: Mouse is turned off by default.
• NEW: Default username for web server is “plex” not “xbox”.
