NeXroll v1.12.0-beta.2 Release Notes

Release Date: March 21, 2026
Type: Pre-release (Beta)

Conflict Detection Wizard, yearly/holiday schedule improvements, dashboard tile overhaul, preview playback intelligence, and critical scheduler bug fixes.

New Features

Conflict Detection Wizard

• New Conflict Detection Wizard analyzes all active schedules for overlapping conflicts over the next 30 days
• Detects true conflicts only: same-priority exclusive schedules that overlap on the same day/time
• Intelligently skips non-conflicts: different-priority schedules (higher priority wins), non-exclusive schedules, and blend-enabled schedules
• Each conflict card displays:
  • Severity badge (High / Medium / Low / Info) with schedule comparison details
  • Side-by-side schedule info: name, category, priority, exclusivity, and type
  • Overlapping days count and conflict description
  • Suggested fixes with radio buttons — change priority, adjust time ranges, disable one schedule, or skip
• Auto-Resolve All button selects the recommended fix for every detected conflict in one click
• Apply button processes all selected fixes asynchronously with progress feedback
• Results view shows success/failure summary with per-conflict resolution status
• Accessible from the Schedules dashboard tile via the "Resolve Conflicts" button when conflicts are detected

Dashboard — Scheduler Countdown Timer

• The Scheduler dashboard tile now displays a live countdown to the next schedule activation
• Shows "Next Up: Schedule Name" with the schedule name in blue, followed by a ticking D/H/M/S countdown
• Properly computes the next activation time for all schedule types: daily (with time ranges), weekly (with weekDay constraints), monthly (with monthDay constraints), and yearly/holiday schedules
• Skips currently active schedules — only counts down to the next change, not what's already showing
• Days segment auto-hides when zero (only shows H/M/S)
• Counter digits use theme-aware colors (white in dark mode, black in light mode)

Dashboard — Schedules Tile Overhaul

• Replaced the simple "X of Y active" display with three detailed status rows:
  • ✓ Enabled — green checkmark with count of active schedules
  • ⊘ Disabled — grey icon with count of inactive schedules
  • ⚠ Conflicts — orange warning with count of conflicting schedules (turns grey when 0)
• When conflicts are detected, a "Resolve Conflicts" button with wand icon appears to launch the Conflict Detection Wizard
• Uses getScheduleConflicts() logic to detect real conflicts (same-priority exclusive overlaps)

Yearly & Holiday Schedule Improvements

• Yearly is now a fully supported schedule type alongside Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Holiday
• Yearly and holiday schedules are year-agnostic — they recur across all years by comparing month+day windows
• Conflict detection for yearly schedules compares month+day overlap (ignoring year) for accurate multi-year conflict analysis
• Holiday Auto-Update — yearly and holiday schedules can optionally specify a holiday name and country code to automatically update their dates each year via the Holiday API
• Holiday Browser integration allows creating schedules directly from a searchable list of holidays by country and year

Preview Playback Mode Intelligence

• The Preview button on the Currently Showing card now respects the playback mode of whatever is currently applied:
  • Shuffle mode — plays only 1 randomly selected video, shows "(Shuffle — 1 of N)" in the header
  • Sequential/Playlist mode — plays all prerolls in order with auto-advance and prev/next navigation
  • Single/Coming Soon — plays just the single video with no navigation controls
  • Sequence — plays all sequence items in order with full navigation
• Backend /plex/current-preroll-details endpoint now returns a mode field detected from:
  1. Filler state (coming_soon → single, sequence → sequential, category → uses category's plex_mode)
  2. Applied sequence override → sequential
  3. Active category's plex_mode setting
  4. Fallback: Plex delimiter inference (; = shuffle, , = sequential)

Plugin Download Links

• Jellyfin and Emby connection pages now include direct download links for the NeXroll Intros plugin DLLs
• NeXroll.Jellyfin.dll — for Jellyfin servers
• NeXroll.Emby.dll — for Emby servers

UI Improvements

Dashboard — Scheduler Tile Styling

• Start/Stop Scheduler button now matches the Preview button styling: indigo (#6366f1) background, compact padding, icons (Play for Start, Square for Stop)
• Both buttons use justifyContent: 'center' for properly centered text and icons

Dashboard — Schedules Tile Text Size

• Increased font size and icon size in the Schedules tile for better readability and tile fill

Bug Fixes

Scheduler Override Blocking Active Schedules (Critical)

• Fixed: When a manual sequence was applied via the "Apply to Server" button, the 15-minute override would block ALL schedule evaluation — even schedules that should have been active
• The override check previously did an unconditional early return, preventing any schedule from being applied during the override window
• Fix: Active schedules now take priority over overrides. The override only blocks when no active schedules exist, and active schedules automatically clear stale overrides

Preview Not Respecting Playback Mode

• Fixed: Preview button previously always showed all prerolls with full navigation regardless of the category's playback mode
• Shuffle categories would show all videos when they should only preview one random selection

Backend Changes

• GET /plex/current-preroll-details — Now returns mode field ("shuffle", "sequential", or "single") alongside prerolls and applied_sequence
• Mode detection logic inspects filler state, applied sequence, active category plex_mode, and Plex delimiter as fallback

Upgrade Notes

• No database migration required — drop-in replacement from beta.1
• Windows: Run the installer or replace NeXroll.exe
• Docker: Pull the latest image
