Announcement: Media Browser Version 2.2.3 (codename: pegasus)

We have just finished up a maintenance release for Media Browser. Nothing too big here just a bunch of performance and stability fixes.

Still looking for sponsors

If you or anyone you know would like a spot on the Media Browser home page and would like to help out the Media Browser project contact me at sam.saffron <at> gmail.com

Special thank you

A special thank you to all the people who donated money to the project, I went ahead and assigned “supporter” badges to them.

Warning to all Sqlite users

If you are using the experimental sqlite data store, you will need to delete it before upgrading. Delete the file C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\Cache\cache.db. I made some schema changes that are not backwards compatible.

Whats fixed?

The image cache subsystem was re-written, now when you launch in to poster view the images show up right away.

ImagesByName broken with SQLite
Add "Auto-Enter" option to Configurator

Uprgrading

Upgrading from firestorm should work fine (with the caveat that sqlite users need to dump the cache – don’t worry, if you do not know what sqlite is, you are not using it)

It is also recommended you do a full upgrade of all the plugins you have installed in particular the old MTN High Quality thumbnailer is not compatible with 2.2.3
