(Changes from release 0.1.9a)

**This release requires VLC 2.0 (upgraded on 4/4/12 to fix fullscreen in IE9)***

VLC Upgrade

Upgraded internal player to use VLC 2.0.0. I did most of the testing with IE9 and the VLC activeX plug-in. Firefox and Chrome will also work but I found that the mozilla plug-in is not as robust and will crash often.

Internal VLC Player

The internal VLC player has been totally rewritten for use with VLC 2.x and supports a new simplified look. It provides easier selection and persisting of audio tracks, subtitle tracks, crop values, and aspect ratios for movies and tv episodes.

Once in the player page, you may resize the browser window to reduce or enlarge the video.

At the far right there is a button to toggle the player settings. You are able to change the audio tracks, subtitles, deinterlace modes, crop and aspect ratio settings. These settings can be set and saved for re-use each time the movie/episode is played.

When playing an episode, two extra buttons appear that will allow you to play the next epsiode in sequence or select an episode from a list.

To select an episode, click on the [Select Episode] toggle button. This shows a list of all episodes for the current TV show and allows you to select an episode to play. The list initially shows with current episode selected and scrolled into view. To hide the list without selecting an epsiode, click the [Select Episode] button again.

After playing a movie in fullscreen mode, the player will revert back to normal screen mode and show the "Movie has finished" page.

Remote Controller

The remote controller also incorporates the new simplified player look.

Override Data Importers for Individual Movies

Last release we added the feature to configure the data importer. In this release you are now able to configure data importers for individual movies. This may come in handy when you want to prevent loading data from certain importers.

Performance

Combined separate javascript and CSS files to decrease page load time.

Update File Locations Utility

Fix issue with updating paths of multi-part movies. A bug existed that only updated and kept the last file.

Allow rebuilding media file list from Update File Location utility.

Import File Utility

Allow rebuilding media file list from Import File utility.

Custom Lists

Enable filtering of movie URL attributes (e.g. "Rotten Tomatoes URL", "TVDb URL", etc...)

New random sort options. Instead of having the same movies appear in the same position all the time you now have the option to change the sort order each time the page is refreshed.

Settings

Two new settings that allow you to customize the URL port and path. The settings will not take affect until the server is restarted. These settings are saved in a file in the config directory (i.e. mysettings.properties).

Scrappers

COMMON SENSE - Enhance Common sense scrapper to work with new site changes.

IMDB - Fix episode import that broke when site was enhanced.

Other

Rework internal messaging code to prevents asynchronous commands from blocking especially in IE9. The remote controller and maintenance utilities were areas mainly affected by this change.

Many minor bug fixes were also completed in this release.
