🎉 New features time! 🎉

We added:

• Option to flatten folder structure, so all files within subdirectories appear at the top level
• Automatic thumbnails for Internet playlists
• Lucene search for audio files
• Support for webp thumbnails
• A bunch of other updates and fixes

There has also been a ton of work behind the scenes to make our release process faster, so now we should be able to release new versions more frequently.

We recently lost our only project sponsor, so please consider joining the Sponsor tier on Patreon if that is within your means. We will link to your website with your logo on our front page and readme file. Our website got around 7 million unique hits in the last month.

This week we deployed a big set of API fixes and improvements.

The most visible change is that a lot more TV episodes and series will now succeed in matching with metadata and thumbnails/covers.

Your program will automatically get these improved results, so sit back and enjoy!

We are frequently fixing bugs and making API upgrades to ensure that the online features of UMS run smoothly. We usually don't post about it, these updates just roll out and benefit everyone immediately, but sometimes it's good to give a glimpse.

Over recent weeks we have made 5 major dependency upgrades, and fixed several bugs, the most visible of which is fixed localization support for our Chinese languages (traditional and simplified), which means if your language is set to one of these languages, you should notice that more of the images and dynamic metadata for media comes through in your own language.

We are also close to our next program release. Hope your holidays are going well!
