v0.7.0
Network shares and DLNA servers.
New
- DLNA servers: Menu → Add a DLNA server… finds the media servers
on your network (NAS units, PCs, routers); added servers appear next to
your folders. Their videos play like any other, with resume, watched
marks and Recently played kept on the device (DLNA servers don't keep
progress). Video info works too. - Guide for network shares (SMB): the install guide shows how to
have SteamOS mount a NAS or PC share (once, in Desktop Mode, kept
through SteamOS updates) and add it to the library.
Changed
- Folders on a network share no longer freeze the app. Folders are
read in the background: if a share is asleep or gone, the library says
the folder is slow to answer and B goes back, instead of the whole app
hanging. Shares mounted on the system (SMB, NFS) have their own icon on
the start screen and a Network tag in Recently played. - A
download_folderon a network share is no longer used (downloads
are for this device, and a share that stopped answering could freeze
them).
