Featured Changes
Hardware Transcoding Support
Warning
Support for Hardware Transcoding is experimental and still in progress. Please see #88.
- Support for NVENC hardware encoder
- Support for QSV hardware encoder
Presets Updates
- HandBrake's Default Presets have been added
- You can toggle these on and off via the settings page
- Presets are now organized into categories, rather than all being in one place
- Your existing imported presets will be migrated to the new category structure, but remain 'uncategorized'
- Uploaded presets can be re-downloaded from the web interface
- Uploaded presets can be renamed from the web interface
Queue/Jobs Updates
- Jobs' logs are available for download from the client when finished/stopped/errored
- Job creation dialogue uses configuration variable 'input-path' (defaults to
/video) for default browsing location - Job creation dialogue uses configuration variable 'output-path' (defaults to
undefined) if set for automatically setting output location. If unset, it will default to the path of the input file. - Improved job handling
- Jobs that exit with an error will be stopped with a new Error state
- Job ordering in the queue/dashboard is improved
- Several queue behavior quirks/bugs have been fixed
Configuration/Settings
- A new 'Settings' page has been added to the web interface. The user can edit their configuration file from here.
- Numerous new configuration options have been added.
- Your existing configuration will be updated automatically with new properties.
Logging
- Logging has been improved with winston
- Log files are now available
- Server log files are available for the past 5 days, saved per day.
- Job log files are saved and sent to the server once the worker finished/stops working on a job. Logs remain available as long as a job remains in the queue.
Back-end Improvements
- Permission checks on startup - application will not start if data directory permissions are invalid (warns the user).
- Infrastructure for database migrations has been implemented for db schema updates
- Infrastructure for config validation and version upgrades has been implemented for config schema updates
- Dockerfiles have been updated with dumb-init for initialization to allow for proper graceful shutdown
Other Changes
- Application icon updated with a temporary custom placeholder (was literally just the icon for HandBrake previously). Work on a bespoke icon is targeted for the next release.
- Application version is displayed in the sidebar of the client. GitHub is queried for version information and if there is an update available.
