v0.9.44

MPCvibedRPC 0.9.44

What's new

• 🧵 Plex, Stremio and Jellyfin / Emby share one web client: requests have a time limit; a redirect elsewhere is refused.
• ⏱️ Plex: a plex.tv or a server that accepts the connection and then stays silent no longer stalls the watcher.
• 🔐 Updates: the checksum is read first, only GitHub addresses are accepted, and an unchanged answer costs no rate limit.
• 🧩 The settings page is split into markup, style and script, with a stricter content policy and a label for every field.
• 📌 Text you select in the log or the connections list stays selected; a hidden window stops asking for the status.
• 🪟 Windows: whether the program starts with Windows is read from the registry directly, without a helper program.
• ✂️ The four longest pieces of the code are split into named steps, with no change in what they do.
• 🧰 CI: live player and server tests once per pull request; the release text comes from this changelog.

Nothing to do: the update installs itself (Windows and Linux, unless you switched that off), and your settings and
sign-ins are kept.

Get it

• Windows: download MPCvibedRPC.exe and run it, or install it from the Updates section of the version you
  have. Your settings are kept.
• macOS 13 or later: download MPCvibedRPC-macos.zip and move the app to Applications (the first time,
  System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway).
• Linux: download MPCvibedRPC-linux-amd64 (or -arm64), chmod +x it and run it.

Every system needs the Discord desktop app with User Settings > Activity Privacy > "Share my activity" on (Activity
Privacy is in the Games & Apps section, called Activity Settings in older Discord versions). To check a download, see
SECURITY.md.
