MediaElch Changelog

What's new in MediaElch 2.10.6 Dev (Build 2023-12-03)

Dec 3, 2023
  • Fixed:
  • Movies:
  • Opening and immediately closing the trailer search could crash MediaElch
  • Exclusion filters are now applied to all folders, not just a file’s parent directory (#1653)
  • Thanks to GitHub user Neinei0k for implementing it!
  • UI: Dark Theme:
  • The music file list (artist/album) is now readable (better colors)
  • The search/filter result list has explicit colors: they are now readable (#1629)
  • TV Status field and the Movie streamdetails->Stereo fields are now properly colored (#1657)
  • The numbers and icons in the left navigation bar were not properly scaled (#1662)
  • UniversalMusicScraper: If an artist has no Discogs link on MusicBrainz, MediaElch was stuck.
  • ADE: Overview and posters are properly scraped again (#1650)
  • IMDb:
  • Fix scraping of episode IDs from season pages
  • Fix tag loading: option “load all tags” (#1634)
  • Fix movie search
  • Fix TV show search
  • TMDB: Don’t store invalid poster/actor image URLs (only the base URL was stored)
  • HotMovies: Fix movie scraping
  • AppImage: the SVG plugin is now shipped explicitly, fixing the icons in the navigation bar (#1662)
  • AllMusic/Universal Music Scraper: Fixed biography and mood scraping (#1606)
  • Changed?
  • Image Dialog: Images downloaded from fanart.tv are now sorted by preferred language, if set (#1619)
  • TMDB:
  • API queries now set a “region” based on the selected language. For example, the country’s release date will be used.
  • If a movie has more than one certification in a given language, we sometimes accidentally ignored the selected language if TMDB has an empty certification for it (#1641)
  • UI:
  • Images are now loaded asynchronously, which should improve the performance when switching items (#1640)
  • TV shows: If the “first aired” date is invalid/missing, MediaElch shows the current date, but adds a “missing” marker (#1663)
  • TV shows: The TMDB id, if available, is now marked as “default” in NFO files.
  • Settings: Changing the main window theme no longer requires a restart.
  • Removed?
  • Advanced Settings: Option forceCache was removed; if you were relying on this feature, please let us know.
  • Added?
  • TV Shows:
  • Episode’s TMDB id is now shown as well (#1644)
  • IDs (e.g. IMDb ID) now have a button that takes you to the corresponding website (#1645)

New in MediaElch 2.10.4 Dev (Build 2023-07-30) (Jul 30, 2023)

  • Mostly bug fixes, including things such as broken scrapers, UI glitches, and some other bugs.
  • Besides the regular bug fixes, one small new feature made it into this release as well: The movie search window now has a preview feature!

New in MediaElch 2.10.2 Dev (Build 2023-07-02) (Jul 5, 2023)

  • What’s new:
  • We’ve fixed many bugs, including things such as unsorted language lists, dark and light theme issues, or scrapers that failed to load some details.
  • Besides the regular bug fixes, some small new features made it into this release as well: A new TV scraper for “fernsehserien.de” has been added. It is a German-only website for TV shows, seasons and episodes.
  • Most changes were internal: MediaElch now requires CMake 3.15 or later for building. And we no longer depend on QML/QtQuick, meaning the package sizes for macOS and Windows have decreased by a few MiB.
