I don’t follow OML (Open Media Library) as much as I should due to conflict of interest, but I still like to see how plugins other than what I use are doing. I caught wind of OML v4.1 being release over the weekend and then saw that a quick maintenance release followed, so I thought I’d throw it on my Win7 test system and see how it’s faring these days. I’ve also noticed they now offer a server setup, so I may have to see how this works.
The list of bug fixes that I came across are as follows:
- Bug fixes to importing previous oml.dat files
- Bug fixes to importing MyMovies.xml files
- bug fixes to importing oml.xml files
- bug fix to the moviecollectorz plugin
- Trailers now work
- fixed disappearing box art in db editor
- bug fixes to backing up/restoring the database
- various crashing fixes relating to meta data searches
- fanart from 0.3 versions of oml will now be pulling into 0.4 during import
- fixed race condition in the database layer
- deleting and updating favorites should now work
- fixed various issues when using 4:3 resolution tvs
- bug fixes relating to extenders (diff bugs for vista and win7 fixed) (extenders)
- fixed bug in transcoding mkv files under win7 (extenders)
- various fixes to drag/drop in the db editor
New additions and changes include:
- Added firewall exception to the installers for sql server
- Added separate settings for plugins (movies vs tv)
- ability to remove fanart from db editor
- more logging
- ability to rebuild the database from scratch
- ability to do meta-data searches for tv shows and seasons
- tv episodes now use front cover image instead of thumbnail for display
Well, I’m interested in seeing how it looks, so I’m going to download and have a look. You can get the 4.2 release here (x86 and x64 available). I’ll be sure to leave a writeup in a few days if everything works as advertised.
