NeXroll v1.12.0-beta.8 Release Notes

Release Date: April 3, 2026
Type: Pre-release (Beta)

Dedicated Conflict Resolution page, calendar conflict UX improvements, update checker fixes, and several playback/preview bug fixes.

New Features

Conflict Resolution Page

• New Conflicts tab in the Schedules sub-navigation bar for a dedicated conflict resolution experience
• Replaces the popup wizard modal with a full page view showing richer conflict details
• Timeframe selector with Weekly (7 days), Monthly (30 days), and Yearly (365 days) lookahead periods
• Each conflict card shows a side-by-side schedule comparison grid with category, priority, mode, type, and color-coded schedule dots
• Overlapping day counts are displayed per conflict within the selected timeframe
• Suggested fixes with radio buttons per conflict, plus Skip and Ignore options
• Auto-Resolve All button selects the recommended fix for every conflict in one click
• Apply Fixes button processes selected resolutions with success/failure results view
• Ignored Conflicts collapsible section with Restore buttons
• Green "All Conflicts Resolved" state with Shield icon when no conflicts remain in the selected timeframe

Calendar Conflict Panel Improvements

• All calendar views (Day, Week, Month, Year) now show a green "All Conflicts Resolved" message with a CheckCircle icon when actionable conflicts reach zero, replacing the old "Resolve 0 Conflicts" button
• Conflict description text in all calendar views now includes a clickable "Conflicts" link that navigates directly to the Conflicts page
• Resolve buttons in all calendar views and the dashboard now navigate to the dedicated Conflicts page instead of opening the popup wizard

Bug Fixes

• Preview Playback Skipping — Sequence preview (builder, editor, schedule editor) and dashboard "Currently Showing" preview would show ~1 second of a video then skip to the next. Root cause: React was destroying and recreating the <video> DOM element on every track change via key, causing browsers to fire spurious onEnded events during the unmount/remount transition. Both players now reuse a single stable video element, swapping the source via useEffect + .load() + .play() for smooth gapless transitions. Broken videos (404s) are automatically skipped.

• Preview "Unavailable" for Semicolon-Delimited Prerolls — Dashboard preview showed "Preview unavailable for this file" with the entire raw Plex preroll string when any filename contained a comma. The parser checked for , before ;, so a comma in a filename caused the semicolon-delimited string to be split on commas instead, producing garbage entries. Fixed by checking ; first — semicolons never appear in file paths.

• Preview Unavailable for Unmanaged Prerolls — Files on external/mapped drives that weren't in the NeXroll database showed "Preview unavailable" because no preview_url was generated. Added a /preview/file endpoint that serves video files by absolute path, with a fallback in the preroll details endpoint that checks if the file is accessible locally.

• Plex Disconnect Deletes Stable Token — Disconnecting from Plex called secure_store.delete_plex_token(), permanently destroying the stable token from Windows Credential Manager. Users couldn't reconnect without re-entering their token. Disconnect now only clears the DB connection state (plex_url, plex_token), preserving the stable token for one-click reconnection.

• Update Checker Not Detecting New Versions — Five bugs in the update check system prevented the prerelease channel from detecting newer versions:

  1. normalizeVersionString stripped pre-release suffixes (e.g. 1.12.0-beta.8 became 1.12.0), making all betas appear equal
  2. Auto-check used wrong response fields from the backend
  3. Check Interval dropdown sent interval instead of check_interval
  4. Manual check button read systemVersion?.version which doesn't exist on the response object
  5. Second manual check button read stale React state after the async call
  • Backend now uses proper semver parsing with _parse_semver() and _compare_versions() that correctly handle pre-release ordering

Docker

• CVE Remediation — Updated Dockerfile to upgrade pip before installing wheels, addressing CVE-2025-8869 and CVE-2026-1703. The existing apt-get upgrade -y step handles libpng1.6 CVEs (CVE-2026-33636, CVE-2026-33416) on rebuild.
