v2.0.0

4 months ago

We are happy to announce that Gerbera Media Server 2.0.0 is now available.

This release is a new major release and contains two noteworthy changes.

The JavaScript integration has be overhauled to simplify the process of providing additional layout scripts. If you created copies and modified that code to you purpose, you may have to update your code to the new interfaces for import functions. In case you activate the new JavaScript folder loading mechanism by setting the respective config options, ensure that no older scripts are still in the script folders.

This release also introduces the configuration of virtual layout, you can translate the container titles or hide containers you don't use. Of course such a change requires a rescan of the library. The options for structured audio layout have been redesigned, so you need to migrate them to the new <box-layout ../>. Run gerbera with --create-config to get the defaults for the new section.

The second major change is the new staged import mode (grb) which is not activated by default. The default import mode (mt) handles each file completely, i.e. the physical file is read and the virtual layout is created in one go. The new grb-mode first reads all files, second creates the phyiscal structure and finally runs the layout functions on the physical items. The benefit is that the after an update to the file the original object can be updated instead of deleted and recreated like before.

NEW Features

Staged importing that allows updating the virtual layout instead of deleting and recreating it each time (import-mode="grb")
Config options as command line arguments (--set-option OPT=VAL with --print-options)
Allow configuration of follow-symlinks per autoscan directory
Configuration of containers in virtual layout: title can be changed, some nodes can be disabled
New mode of loading Javascript plugins with cleanup of global variables
Generation of example configuration via command line option --create-example-config
Case insensitive sorting for databases
New config options for URL handling and host redirection
Use .nomedia to hide directory, incl. config option
Support for UPnP commands GetFeatureList and GetSortExtensionCapabilities
Build for Ubuntu 23.04 and 23.10

FIXES

Autoscan: Keep track of renamed directories
Docker: add JPEG and update description
Runtime issues in request handling
Configurable handling of HOME directory
Transcoding: parsing issue of requests
Stability for sqlite database access
Browsing on Samsung devices

Code Improvements

Update Javascript libraries
Update versions of googletest (1.14), pupnp (1.14.18), libexiv2 (v0.28.1), libebml (1.4.5), fmt (10.2.0), pugixml (1.14), spdlog (1.12.0) and taglib (1.13.1)

v1.9.2

2 years ago

We are happy to announce that Gerbera Media Server 1.9.2 is now available.

Next to a lot of minor issues which have been fixed, this release contains some noteworthy improvements

Titles of search results can be configured
Containers in virtual layout can be defined as search result, so, e.g. albums, located in several places are only found once
Metadata, like artist, appearing multiple times are now stored in that way and can be sent to UPnP clients as separate entries as well or addressed in layout scripts. If you have a custom js import script which updates metadata you have to modify it using the new properties (see doc on scripting)
DLNA profile can be configured using video and audio codec, allow devices to pick supported streams
DLNA profile can be set for transcoding

v1.9.0

2 years ago

We are happy to announce that Gerbera Media Server 1.9.0 is now available.

Since release of the last version many issues have been fixed. We are also making several new features available. The full the list of changes can be found below, here is the extract:

New or Improved Features

Many more things have been added to configuration (order of resources for album art, DLNA profiles, upnp properties). Please consult https://docs.gerbera.io/en/stable/config-overview.html for the exact usage
Gerbera now can display dynamic containers, i.e. its contents are calculated as you click. This may show you recently add or changed media
Gerbera now supports client specific transcoding, i.e. video is only transcode for your older devices, newer can stream it as it is
The compatibility with Samsung TV sets was increase again
Minor media and upnp additions in search allow you to make the most out of your files

Refactoring of Code in Database Layer

We worked hard to remove legacy code from the database layer to make it even faster and easier to maintain. As a consequence, support for older columns was dropped which means after upgrading to 1.9.0 the database is migrated and cannot be used with older versions anymore. Based on this a resources table was created to contain all the details on media, like subtitles, thumbnails etc.

If not sure backup your database before upgrading or start with a completely new database and let gerbera rebuild it.

v1.8.2

2 years ago

We are happy to announce that Gerbera Media Server 1.8.2 is now available.

After release of 1.8.1 several issues with transactions have been reported, which are fixed by this release. In order to gain a little bit more testing time, transactions are disabled by default now. If you want to contribute in stabilizing that part of gerbera feel free to turn transactions on in config.xml and report your issues. There are a lot more smaller improvements:

configuration for structured layout (a.k.a. abcBox)
access to metadata in database (been broken for a really long)
Code improvements
