Release Notes

v0.20.0 - 2023-03-29

💥 Note: The cache directory is now required if using HLS/DASH streaming. Please set the cache directory in the System Settings page.

💥 Note: The image data subsystem has been reworked in this release. Existing systems will have their storage system set to Database, which stores all image data in the database. This can be changed in the System Settings page.

A migration is required to change the storage system, and can be accessed from the Tasks page.

The Database storage system is not recommended for large libraries, as it can cause performance issues. The Filesystem storage system is recommended for large libraries, and is the default for new systems.

Docker users: please ensure that the Binary Data filesystem path is mapped to a persistent location if you choose to use the Filesystem binary storage type. Not doing so may result your binary data (scene covers, performer images etc) being lost.

💥 Note: the generated/screenshots jpg files are now considered legacy. These files can be migrated into the blob storage system by running the Migrate Screenshots task from the Tasks page.

Once migrated, these files can be deleted. The files can be optionally deleted during the migration.

💥 Known issues

• Performer autotagging does not currently match on performer aliases. This will be addressed when finer control over the matching is implemented.
