Pley Media Server 0.1.11

Added

  • Activity monitors such as Tracearr can connect through the
    Jellyfin-compatible API with a token that sees everyone's activity, and
    show what everyone is playing.
  • Setup asks for the server's name, languages, country, TMDB key and
    whether Apple devices find it by Bonjour, then whether to bring over a
    Plex server or start fresh with Movies, TV Shows and Music libraries.
  • Moving from Plex: setup and Settings → Libraries can import a Plex
    server's libraries, its Home users as profiles with their restrictions
    and the PINs typed for them, and each person's watch history, ratings,
    labels, collections, playlists and matches (docs/MOVING_FROM_PLEX.md).
  • Home and Settings → Libraries show a Plex import step by step while it
    runs, and its report once it ends.
  • Home shows administrators how far new libraries' first scans are.
  • Settings → Server has a Country, for age ratings, age limits and Coming
    to cinemas.
  • Settings → Network says when Pley is on Docker's own network, where
    devices can't find it, and how to fix that.
  • In a container with no media folder mounted, adding a library says how
    to mount one.

Changed

  • Settings → Server calls its languages Pley's language and Titles and
    summaries, and names them instead of showing codes.
  • Seek previews, intro detection and fingerprinting wait until first
    scans and Plex imports are done.
  • A video that has to be remuxed or converted starts sooner while a
    library is being scanned.
  • Home and a library's page show a new library's titles as its files are
    read.
  • The dashboard's Now playing shows whether each stream is playing or
    paused, and its time moves on while it plays.

Fixed

  • Infuse opens a Pley server through the Jellyfin-compatible API instead
    of saying "An error occurred" after signing in.
  • Live TV channels with AC-3 audio, such as US broadcast channels, and
    channels whose stream breaks off as they start, play in the browser and
    the desktop app instead of tuning forever.
Pley Desktop 0.1.5

Added

  • Notifications about requests are in French and Spanish too, in the
    language the server's pages are in.

Fixed

  • A notification that a show's specials are ready says they "are" ready.

On a Mac:

  • A download from a server with video transcoding turned off comes as the
    original file, for a player such as IINA or VLC.
Pley for Android 0.1.13

Changed

  • On phones and tablets, Download on a movie's or an episode's page is
    one of the actions under Play, beside Playlist, instead of a wide
    button. Its ring fills as the download comes, and its label says how
    far it is or what it waits for.
  • The actions under Play share one label size. With the system's largest
    text they go on two or three rows instead of breaking words in two.
  • With the system's largest text, labels under icons and titles under
    posters get smaller rather than break inside a word, and a hyphenated
    word ("Bande-annonce") can go on two lines at its hyphen.
Pley for Roku 0.1.9

Fixed

  • The remote works on the screen that opens, such as a show's Episodes,
    where on some Rokus it kept moving the page underneath.
  • On some Rokus, lists no longer skip presses, such as Down through a
    season's episodes, and pages no longer stall on Loading or say the
    server can't be reached while it can.
  • Home's rows scroll to the row you move to, and on some Rokus the title
    you're on in a row is highlighted again.
