Changes since last stable release

Below is an abstract view of the changes since the last stable release (1.5.0).

Added

• Added metadata about Genres, Studios, Writers, Directors, and more, to Series/Seasons when appropriate. You need to be on the latest version of Shoko Server to be able to add this metadata, because it relies on some changes introduced in the latest minor release.

• Added trailers to Series/Seasons when appropriate.

• Added OPs/EDs as theme videos (videos that play in the background while you're navigating the UI) to Series/Seasons where appropriate.

• The plugin will now provide metadata about missing and unaired episodes.
  You can toggle them visible by heading over to the User Menu > Display > "Display missing episodes within seasons".

• Added proper support for Specials — and you can customise the behavior on the plugin will place Specials within seasons, if at all.

• Added support for some per-user settings and linking a Jellyfin user to a Shoko user. Note: Currently only scrobbling is implemented, even though there is an option to sync data from Shoko upon import.

• Added a file extension ignore list to the advanced section of the plugin settings. The list is used by the library scanner to conditionally skip the files with a certain extension altogether, because otherwise the plugin will try to send the file path to Shoko to look for a match, and complain that it can't find a match — even when there was no match to find in the first place.

• Add a new option to allow switching between which source(s) to use for the series/season/episode descriptions.

• Add a new option to prefer series/season posters from AniDB over other sources. On by default.

• Added some more debug statements.

Updated

• Refreshed the plugin settings. Added descriptions for most of the existing options, added some new options, and reorganized all the options into new sections.

• Updated the existing log statements.

• Some code cleanup and removal of forgotten/left-over debug code from pre-1.5 release.

• Changed the Scrobbler to always report back the current watch state to Shoko on playback start/pause/resume/stop if the feature is enabled. This will allow partial watch states to sync back to Shoko for display in Web UI in the future.

Fixed

• Libraries with physical seasons should now work as expected when series/season grouping is enabled.

• Fixed the library scanner for movies. The scanner didn't run for movies, resulting in trailers/openings/endings appearing as movies in the movies library.

• The scrobble feature (sync during playback) now work for movies as expected.

• Fixed the "Complete Movie" title for episodes in a series of type "movie".

• Fixed Specials.

Removed

• Genres will no longer show up as tags.

• Removed the hack to display Specials as normal episodes.
