on GitHub

Release Notes

Added

• Add Troubleshooting page with aggregated settings/hardware accel info for easy reference
• Read director fields from music video NFO metadata
• Pass directors and studios to music video credit templates
• Add optional JSON Web Token (JWT) query string auth for streaming endpoints (everything under /iptv)
  • This can be configured using the following env var (note the double underscore separator __)
    • JWT__ISSUERSIGNINGKEY
  • When configured, a JWT signed with the configured signing key is required to be passed in the query string as access_token, for example:
    • http://localhost:8409/iptv/channels.m3u?access_token=ABCDEF
    • http://localhost:8409/iptv/xmltv.xml?access_token=ABCDEF
  • When channels are retrieved this way, the access token will automatically be passed through to all necessary urls
  • Note that ONLY the /iptv endpoints will require auth when JWT is configured

Fixed

• Fix scaling anamorphic content from non-local libraries
• Fix direct streaming content from Jellyfin that has external subtitles
  • Note that these subtitles are not currently supported in ETV, but they did cause a playback issue
• Fix Jellyfin, Emby and Plex library scans that wouldn't work in certain timezones
• Fix song normalization to match FFmpeg Profile bit depth
• Fix bug playing some external subtitle files (e.g. with an apostrophe in the file name)
• Fix bug detecting VAAPI capabilities when no device is selected in active FFmpeg Profile
• Fix playout mode duration bugs in XMLTV
  • Tail mode filler will properly include filler duration in XMLTV
  • Duration that wraps across midnight will no longer have overlapping items in XMLTV
• Maintain collection progress across all alternate schedules on a playout
• Fix color normalization from bt470bg to bt709

Changed

• Ignore case of video and audio file extensions in local folder scanner
  • For example, the scanner will now find movie.MKV as well as movie.mkv on case-sensitive filesystems
• Include multiple display-name entries in generated XMLTV
  • Plex should now display the channel number instead of the channel id (e.g. 1.2 instead of 1.2.etv)
• Rework concurrency a bit
  • Playout builds are no longer blocked by library scans
  • Adding Trakt lists is no longer blocked by library scans
  • All library scans (local and media servers) run sequentially
• Emby collection scanning will no longer happen after every (automatic or forced) library scan
  • Automatic/periodic scans will check collections one time after all libraries have been scanned
  • There is a new table in the Media > Libraries page with a button to manually re-scan Emby collections as needed
• For performance reasons, limit console log output to errors on Windows
  • Other platforms are unchanged
  • Log file behavior is unchanged
