11.0.0 preview (Patreon)

We have been hard at work on our next major release, and while it's not quite ready for a public release, we want to give our Patrons a preview. Any feedback is very welcome!

It is worth noting that all API metadata will be cleared the first time this version runs, because we need to re-fetch it. As always, it's a good idea to have the startup scan enabled, since that will pre-cache entries to give you the fastest browsing when it finishes.

The changelog is huge and isn't final yet, but here's an idea of what's in it:

• Uses image backgrounds and logos for movies, TV series and episodes on the web interface, along with some design improvements
• Automatic quality adjustment on web interface, with optional manual settings
• Improved video forward-backward positioning in videos via the web video player
• Added HLS video option which may improve support for transcoding via some renderers like Philips TVs
• Many major dependency updates
• Implemented network state scanner
• x64 windows service wrapper
• Log splitting/zipping
• Show the addresses of servers on the Status tab
• Many fixes

Attached are versions for Windows and Linux. The macOS version is too big for Patreon so please message us on here if you want that build, and we will send you a link.
