After a much longer upgrade path than I had hoped for (mainly because I didn't have as much time as I wanted to) I have just commited the first binary to SVN.
This uses the new online-api, in a few weeks the old version will seize to functions (at least the online part) so I encourage experienced users to test this and provide feedback so we can get a stable version out soon.
As always BACKUP your DB!
Along with the big thing (new API) there are also a few minor changes/improvement, these are (from what I can remember):
- Rating of episodes/series with option to automatically ask to rate after watching (requires thetvdb.com user id to sync online)
- Custom Fieldformatting (see Wiki)
- Current View field no longer just shows view-name but complete hierarchy (skin authors beware that this may require slight modification)
- option to show pop-up with views instead of switching immediatly between views by pressing left/right
- for readability Loglevel Debug now excludes verbose SQL commands, use Debug+SQL if full verbosity is needed
- some new translatable strings, please provide xmls in you're language (including english):
RateSeries = "Rate this Series"
RateEpisode = "Rate this Episode"
ResetRating = "Reset Rating"
AskToRate = "Ask me to rate unrated episodes"
DontAskToRate = "Don't ask me to rate again"
RatingStar = "Star"
RatingStars = "Stars"
ChangeView = "Change View"
ChangeViewFast = "Immediatly Change Views"
Some more notes:
- If you had explicitely set an onlinelanguage in the old version (and you use you're existing db) you may have to switch online-languages and back to you're selection if you get 404 errors
- the config window does not show you're selected online language unless you open the drop-down menu and thus trigger a query online, this is normal and done to save an online-query and does not mean that you're selection is not remembered.
- The new version should have full UTF8 compatibility, if you find something odd first make sure the data is correct in the onlinedb.
- Resuming of partially watched episodes may not work (I just can't figure out why)
This build has more verbose logging even in normal-log settings than the stable version will have, also some log-messages may be...frankly....incorrect or at best misleading, I didn't spend any time cleaning it up.
Edit: Also I forgot to reenable mediainfo parsing in this build, this means that file info won't be picked up automatically.
