Gerbera v1.9.0

on GitHub

We are happy to announce that Gerbera Media Server 1.9.0 is now available.

Since release of the last version many issues have been fixed. We are also making several new features available. The full the list of changes can be found below, here is the extract:

New or Improved Features

• Many more things have been added to configuration (order of resources for album art, DLNA profiles, upnp properties). Please consult https://docs.gerbera.io/en/stable/config-overview.html for the exact usage
• Gerbera now can display dynamic containers, i.e. its contents are calculated as you click. This may show you recently add or changed media
• Gerbera now supports client specific transcoding, i.e. video is only transcode for your older devices, newer can stream it as it is
• The compatibility with Samsung TV sets was increase again
• Minor media and upnp additions in search allow you to make the most out of your files

Refactoring of Code in Database Layer

We worked hard to remove legacy code from the database layer to make it even faster and easier to maintain. As a consequence, support for older columns was dropped which means after upgrading to 1.9.0 the database is migrated and cannot be used with older versions anymore. Based on this a resources table was created to contain all the details on media, like subtitles, thumbnails etc.

If not sure backup your database before upgrading or start with a completely new database and let gerbera rebuild it.
