Release notes

New

  • Continue watching bump: Added an option that enables new seasons and episode releases to bump up the show to first position in the continue watching. The settings will be found in top menu "Home screen" --> "Home screen tweaks".
    Read more below about the function

Note

This feature is currently experimental. I have tested it by adding/removing episodes on my own server and it seems to work well. But the true test for this function needs to be some live tests, and will take some time. Hence the experimental warning.

Updates

  • MDBList support: Added support for MDBList official lists.
  • Logs: Logs now persist between server-restarts.
  • Top-list items can now show their collections. Movies opened from a top-list
    row didn't show "Included in ", because the top-list copy wasn't a
    member of the original movie's collections. Turn on Show collections on top-list
    items     (Settings → Advanced → Top-lists) and each top-list movie is added to the same
    collections as the original, and follows along when the original is added to or
    removed from a collection.
    • Off by default. Turning it on (or off) updates all existing top-list items.
    • Trade-off: depending on a collection's sort order, the collection may show the
      top-list version with its rank-badge poster instead of the original.

Fixes

  • Top-list copies no longer match rules. MediaInfo and AI rules could pick up the
    top-list .strm copies, which then got tagged and added to collections and playlists.
    This could also make tags "come back" seconds after a sync removed them.
  • Tags no longer bounce between versions of a movie. When a movie exists as separate
    items (e.g. 1080p and 4K) and a rule matches only one of them, the other version no
    longer gets the tag re-applied after every sync.
  • Recurring schedules that span New Year now work. A window like Dec 27 → Jan 3 was
    only active in December.
  • A group's own tag no longer satisfies its Tag rules. A group tagged zzrow-musicals
    with the rule Tag contains Musicals matched itself, so items never left the row.
    New Tag rules now default to Exact. Existing rules are unchanged.
  • Rating rules now include exact boundary values. Community Rating >= 7.2 skipped
    movies rated exactly 7.2 (and <= 6.9 skipped 6.9).
  • The plugin's API now requires an admin account. Signed-in non-admin users could
    previously call it (e.g. export the backup including API keys).

Continue watching bump
This is a workaround to highlight for the user that a new episode/season has been added. For example, if the user have watched all episode of a show up until s03e10 (season finale). It might then take a year or two before s04e01 is released, and the show will get buried way down in the continue watched, This function manipulates the "LastPlayedDate" for s03e10 to look like the user just played it.
In this way s04e01 will be placed as the first item in the continue watching row.
This bump will only happen once, and if the user doesn't watch the show, it will gradually move down the continue watching list.

When enabled the function auto-detects new seasons and apply the setting. There is also a new scheduled task to catch anything that has been missed (runs default every 6 hour).

You as an admin can select if this should apply to only new seasons, or between all episodes.
