Thanks to jackHD and Pucksy for sharing where setup was difficult. This update improves library reads and makes the first download easier to configure.
Large folders and NAS libraries
Folder libraries now stream in one pass instead of collecting the entire tree and rewalking it for every page. A 2,000-file fixture returned the same games with 21 directory opens instead of 924; this measures scan work, not a promised NAS speedup.
The Library page shows scan progress. Temporary busy-filesystem errors get bounded retries. Failed reads keep readable games visible and show an incomplete state, including failures midway through a page. A new guide covers Docker Desktop, NAS mounts and permissions.
The exact macOS/VirtioFS error in the original report is not confirmed without its traceback; switching file-sharing modes remains a reported workaround, not a universal recommendation.
Usenet setup
The Setup Guide opens the built-in Usenet, MDM and ROM Hub client forms directly, and offers a Usenet/Newznab indexer shortcut. Search help explains the provider, indexer and downloader roles, and separates no results from failed downloads and imports. A niche torrent indexer is not required to use Usenet; game availability still depends on the sources configured.
See the new Usenet guide and NAS library guide. Fixes #177, #178 and #180 via #179.
Docker users: pull the updated official image and recreate the container. Windows users: use the portable ZIP; the unsigned MSIX is also provided for testing. Windows packages are attached after their release build and executable checks finish.
Real-Debrid grabs through Prowlarr
Prowlarr download URLs that end in valid magnet redirects now work with
Real-Debrid. The proxy is fetched locally using the existing configured-origin
checks, redirect limits and magnet validation. Credentials are not forwarded
to Real-Debrid or another redirect host. Direct magnet grabs are unchanged.
