13.6.0

[SubJunk]

Summary

We have added support for automatic muxing of HDR streams for better video quality (e.g. Dolby Vision in MKV on LG TVs), done other improvements to device support, and fixed a TON of bugs!

We believe we are now the only DLNA media server that allows LG TVs to play Dolby Vision in MKVs, which has been a big source of frustration for LG TV owners looking to make the most of their TVs. We have more related improvements to come.

This release is available via our Patreon page, and will be available here when the next release happens.
