What's New?
Discord Improvements
- Fall back to using release group MBID to retrieve album art if the defined release does not have associated art
- Use zero-width padding to allow single-character titles
Fresher Now Playing
For Sources that support multi-platform (plex, jellyfin), MS will more aggressively mark players as stale when there has been no activity but the Source still reports a player is alive. It will also switch Now Playing to the player that has actual activity if the "current" Now Playing player goes inactive (paused, stopped, stale).
Duplicate Scrobble Detection Docs
A new section in the docs has been added that goes into depth on:
- How MS detects duplicate scrobbles
- Configurations that won't cause dupes
- Configurations that MAY cause dups
- Solutions for avoiding these scenarios
