dynamiX V2.0.0

[2.0.0] – 2025-04-27

I’m done with university for the summer and DynamiX has been completely rewritten for version 2.0.0! You can still enjoy all the exact same features as before but now in a much more user-friendly, web-based UI.

🚀 New Features

• Cross-Platform Web UI
  Accessible at port 1166, with:

  • Drag-and-drop import of your existing config.json, user_exemptions.json and exclusions.json
  • Full Docker support (now with non-headless builds)
  • Progressive Web App (PWA) support
  • Optional HTTP Basic Authentication

• Multi-Threaded Pinning
  Pinning loops now run concurrently across all targeted libraries, dramatically reducing cycle time.

• Modern Dashboard
  Replaces the old logs landing page with:

  • Key Metrics (Total Collections, Pinned Today, Active Exclusions/Exemptions)
  • Real-time Automation Status controls
  • Pre-Roll Management panel
  • Summaries of Active Time-Blocks & Seasonal Blocks
  • “Recently Pinned” feed

• Streamlined Settings
  Moved Plex configuration into a unified Settings section; the old Plex-Config tab has been retired.

• Separate Home & Library Pin Sets
  Generate independent pinning sets for Home and Library Recommended.

• Improved Run/Stop Handling
  Stop the automation mid-cycle instantly—no more waiting for the loop to finish.

• Quick-Add Seasonal Blocks
  One-click creation of holiday/seasonal blocks that auto-adjust dates each year.

• One-Click Runs
  New buttons to trigger a single Pre-Roll update or a single Pinning cycle on demand.

dynamiX Version 1.2.0- Windows

Added:

• Update to how user adds time blocks in the UI
• Updated UI for User-Set Exemptions
• Added an "Always Pinned Collections" area in settings
• A Pre-Roll File Manager! Your Plex Pre-Roll Path must be updated in settings to end with PlexMainPreRoll.mp4 (Example path P:\Movie Roll\PlexMainPreRoll.mp4)
• Exclusion List will now be reset if the program can't find enough valid collections

Note:

• Docker releases will be halted until 2.0 when the web webgui is implemented due to the additional work required to make them at this time.

Known Bugs:

• When the application restarts using any built-in restart function it causes the application to crash instead of restart.
• A non-standard Windows PMS configuration can sometimes be problematic

Up Next:

• Playlist Support
• Collection Creation Features
• A web-based gui so docker support is more accessible
• Ability to assign collections to always appear in specific spots other than the first (proving harder for me than thought otherwise it would've been on this release)

dynamiX Version 1.1.0

Added:

• A headless build with docker support! Use the regular image to set up the config file or use the one included as an example updated with your ip and token.
• Pinning Targets (Home, Shared Home, Library Recommended) now configurable
• Configure Date blocks for collections to always be pinned aka "Sesonal Date Blocks"
• Searchable user exemptions tab
• Adjusted Color Scheme

dynamiX Version 1.0.1 - The Happy Holidays Release

I went crazy coding in the seasonal blocks feature after the great reception on reddit! Happy Holidays!

• A non-standard Windows PMS configuration can sometimes be problematic

dynamiX Version 1.0.0- Windows

This is the application file release for version 1.0.0

This application will not receive updates automatically.

Known Issues in this Release:

• When the application restarts to apply changes filled in 'Missing Information' it causes the application to crash instead of restart.
• A non-standard Windows PMS configuration can sometimes be problematic

Features Planned for Next Release (V1.1.0):

• Holiday collection pinning based on date blocks
• Searchable user exemptions tab
• Ability for user to decide whether to change library page, home and friends home. Currently all 3 are always applied.
