1.2
Browsing large media collections has never been a great experience in Plex/Web. Performance would decrease the further you scrolled into the list and scrolling to the bottom of a large section was tedious. This release makes a few big steps in fixing that problem by introducing a new media list. The scrollbar now accurately reflects the full size of the list and you can scroll anywhere in the list immediately. This doesn't mean the startup time has increased, because we are still only requesting a single page of items initially. The alphanumeric list to the right now jumps around the list rather than filtering out items, letting you navigate your large collections more quickly. We've also made various other improvements and bug fixes, which you can find below.
NEW:
- Increased performance when browsing sections by adding a virtualized media list.
- Modified the media list to allow scrolling anywhere in the list immediately.
- Modified the alphanumeric list to scroll to the correct position in the media list, rather than filter the list items.
- Optimized image loading in the media list when scrolling away from list items before images have loaded.
- Improved memory management with media items.
- Added Recently Viewed filter.
- Added fade effect to fanart.
- Improved messaging when myPlex is down.
- Updated Flash video player to latest version.
FIXES:
- Fixed error when clicking on a photo in the global Recently Added list.
- Fixed inconsistencies when identifying a server as remote or local.
- Fixed some servers not becoming available after initialization.
- Fixed sync items sending the container media type rather than the child media type.
- Fixed the file availability check for videos with multiple files or when skipping the preplay view.
- Fixed navigating sections served by Plex for Android.
