Versions 7.7.0 and 8.0.0-a1 released
Posted: Fri Dec 21, 2018 2:00 pm
General:
7.7.0 improves the web interface, adds and improves support for Samsung and Philips TV, and fixes many bugs!
8.0.0-a1 is our first ALPHA (read: incomplete, for testing only) release of the 8.0.0 line.
It is a combination of 3 of our in-progress branches that adds a new Shared Content tab that adds a GUI for managing web content like podcasts, vodcasts, video streams, etc. and new default web content, improves support for subtitles with improvements to the appended text, flag overlays on thumbnails in the TRANSCODE folders and lots of related bugfixes, and a big improvement to the memory use/recycling of the server that should improve its long-term stability.
If you have problems with any versions, please report them to us and we will work to resolve them.
Happy holidays!
