Ipmake/NevuForPlex v1.2.0

Version 1.2.0

on GitHub

Overview

This release focuses on modernizing dependencies, enhancing proxy functionality, and improving overall maintainability. Key improvements include updated backend packages, streamlined proxy handling, and new service discovery features.

Backend Changes

Dependency Updates

• Added new dependencies including bonjour-service and http-proxy with associated types
• Updated backend/package.json and backend/package-lock.json with modern dependencies

Proxy Enhancements

• Deprecated: PROXY_PLEX_SERVER and DISABLE_PROXY environment variables
• New: Direct usage of PLEX_SERVER for proxy configurations
• Added warning notifications for deprecated environment variables
• Introduced dynamic proxy endpoint (/dynproxy/*) using http-proxy
• Added GET /proxy endpoint with support for query parameters and streaming responses

Service Discovery

• Integrated bonjour-service to publish application presence on networks
• Added deployment ID, version, and Plex server details for improved service discovery

Frontend Changes

Proxy Simplification

• Removed support for DISABLE_PROXY configuration in frontend/src/backendURL.ts
• Streamlined proxy request logic to use the backend's /proxy endpoint

Upgrade Notes

Please note that this version includes changes to environment variables. Users should:

• Transition from using PROXY_PLEX_SERVER to using PLEX_SERVER directly
• Remove any usage of DISABLE_PROXY as it's no longer supported

Remember that as with v1.1.0, you need to bind a volume to maintain user settings between Docker container restarts.
