Hey everyone! Sorry about the long wait since the last update but we’ve been hard at work tweaking things behind the scenes for better localis(z)ation and getting this right is a complicated task (we still have much work to do on this front).
New Language Support
With the new 1.19.6 preview build (find links in the first post) we’ve expanded the language support to include a few regional variations which I know is a huge bugbear for many. Along with existing languages we now have additional options for English (Canada), English (United Kingdom), French (Canada), Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Hong Kong), Chinese (Taiwan) and Spanish (Mexico).
Setting these languages is currently only supported in the bundle Web application (i.e. http://127.0.0.1:32400/web) and using the hosted application will result in most of the options being blank for now.
It is also recommended that you remove any previous libraries you created with these preview builds and scan them in fresh. If you don’t have the time now to do that then at least just make sure edit the library and set the language again and save it so it updates with the correct language code - although the consistency of the data cannot be guaranteed then.
Movie titles, summaries as well as taglines should now be translated if we have a translation for it in your chosen language. We’re still working on bringing translations for genres.
We’re also building things out so that adding new languages to this list is as painless as possible - if you think there is a language option missing from our list please let us know.
Collections
Collections are finally back with a few upgrades. You can now set a minimum collection size for automatic collections so you don’t have to deal with those 1 item collections clogging your library any more (although if you still want that just set this value to 1 or “Disabled” if you don’t want any at all). If you want a custom value here it’s highly recommended that you set this when creating the library as we won’t remove collections that have already been created.
Along with this we now also provider posters and background art for newly created collections.
Small tweaks and additions
Reviews should now be pulled in for clients which support them.
Added the ability to allow matching Adult content again (Edit library → Advanced → Include adult content).
There were a few fixes to extras where the would not play correctly on some platforms.
Some issues handling local extras for multiple versions of media was fixed.
