NeXroll v1.0.15

Release date: 09-20-2025

Downloads

• Installer (recommended): NeXroll_Installer.exe (attached to this GitHub Release)

Highlights

Installer and Packaging

• Creates %ProgramData%\NeXroll and %ProgramData%\NeXroll\logs and grants Modify rights to standard Users for reliable logging and database writes.
• Preroll storage selection page persists to HKLM\Software\NeXroll\PrerollPath.
• Migrates legacy $INSTDIR\data\prerolls to the selected Preroll path on upgrade (best‑effort).
• Optional components: Windows Service, Stable Token setup, Start with Windows (Startup shortcut), FFmpeg via winget, and a Windows Firewall rule (TCP 9393).
• Auto‑detects ffmpeg/ffprobe in common locations and records absolute paths under HKLM\Software\NeXroll for consistent resolution by service/tray.
• Pre‑install attempts to stop/close running NeXroll processes to reduce file‑in‑use errors; uninstaller cleans up shortcuts, firewall rule, and service.

UI

• Added modal edit dialogs across Prerolls, Schedules, and Categories for faster inline edits with validation, without navigating away.
• Enhanced “Add to Categories” workflow:
  • Multi-select UI to assign a preroll to multiple categories in one action.
  • Reliability fixes and clearer feedback when updating many items at once.
  • Consistent persistence of category assignments across views.
• Header polishing:
  • NeXroll logo is now placed in the header for consistent branding and responsive alignment across viewports.

Backend

• Backend API version: 1.0.15.

What’s Fixed / Improved

• Upgrade flow reliability and environment hardening via permissions, process management, and optional dependency installation.
• Packaging/listing parity: Start Menu + Desktop shortcuts, service registration, and tray startup option.

How to Upgrade

1. Download NeXroll_Installer.exe from the Assets of this Release.
2. Run the installer over your existing installation (upgrade‑in‑place).
3. After install:
   • Launch NeXroll and open http://localhost:9393
   • If prompted, confirm or update your Preroll storage path.

Known Notes

• NSIS may emit benign warnings on some environments; these do not affect installation.
• If FFmpeg is not installed (and you did not select the FFmpeg component), thumbnail generation remains unavailable until FFmpeg is present.
