What's New in v15

Overview​

The 2 main goals for V15 have been to simplify our interface, based on user feedback and reviews, and to make our user accounts easier to use.

A quick overview of the changes in this version is:

  • A user switcher with support for multiple logged-in users
  • A mode switcher to change between the two major areas: Player and Settings
  • Pin code logins
  • Dynamic TV season metadata
  • A file media info button
  • Also rewrites of our notification and realtime code, improved memory management, and a lot of other changes to improve usability and reduce the number of actions needed to do what you want.

New features​

User switcher​

You can now be logged in with multiple users in a browser at the same time, and switch between them.

You can also enable a setting to display the available users on the login screen. This setting is opt-in for security reasons, because you might not want everyone to see all user accounts. There is also an in-between setting where user accounts are saved in the browser after that browser logs in, on a per-account basis.

Example of the user switcher

Mode switcher​

The web interface has been split into two areas: Player and Settings.

This should make the web interface more intuitive and easier navigate by reducing the number of clicks needed.

Pin code logins​

You can now enable pin code logins in the server settings.

Dynamic season metadata​

Seasons of TV shows sometimes have their own data like titles and cover images, so now we display that on the season pages.

Migration​

There are no specific migration steps to be aware of.

As with any major update, if you want to have the ability to go back to your current version before updating, you can make a backup of your profile directory, which contains your configuration and local database. You can find the location of that directory near the top of your program logs. Look for Profile directory: [some page]/UMS.
