• The 0.9.8 series has been brewing for a while now, like any fine brew of malted barley, hops, and media. (Autocorrect took my atrocious late-night typing and suggested 'malted barkley, hopes, and media' which I would imagine is a very different drink.)
• First released two months ago, it was followed up with 0.9.8.1, 0.9.8.2, 0.9.8.3 and 0.9.8.4. You can click the links for detailed changes, but the summary is:
• Multi-user mode. All the users you share media with (inside and outside the house) get their own view of it (e.g. On Deck, view history) , and can select custom audio/subtitles. You can use it with children to restrict their access to certain parts of your library (this is only the first baby step towards parental controls). This feature is PlexPass only.
• Now Playing: A 'control room' for your server, where you can see what everyone is watching. If you enable media index files, you can even see a super cool animation of fading thumbnails. This feature is also PlexPass only.
• Media Index Files: This option indexes your media and allows for graphical seeking. The Roku and Android apps make use of it. Also PlexPass only. Might make lesser computers cry while it's actually indexing the files.
• Screenshot 2013 08 13 08 37 42
• HTTPS support: The media server listens on port 32443 for HTTPS connections.
• Prettier photo albums: We now auto-select a 'cover' photo for your photo albums.
• DLNA fixes: There have been a large number of fixes to DLNA. It's mo betta.
• Other random goodness: Tons of fixes. Copious performance improvements.
• Drobo 5N support: Got one of these beautiful new devices? Get your Plex on.

It's taken us a few releases, but at this point media playback support on the app is really super good, and it's able to play lots of content with remuxing, which (given our support for throttling on the server side), means awesome quality video with minimal CPU usage. Lots of other new stuff, including more keyboard navigation and a cool media information popup, and many bug-fixes.
• Plex/Web also got a massive update. A giant, thundering, epic update, featuring a redesigned home screen, greatly simplified navigation, and lots of other goodies. Look at this beautiful new dashboard!

Changes for v0.9.5.3 - v0.9.5.4

Plex Media Server 1 18 1 1973 Cutlass Supreme

• ¦If you've experienced an issue with TV scans missing posters or other artwork, somewhat randomly, this has been fixed; we've been experiencing increasingly heavy traffic with all the new users, so we had to bulk up our infrastructure!
• ¦Movie matching should be more accurate and much faster; we now have a fully automated system which improves the agent matching over time based on the anonymous data sent back. Pretty cool, right?
• ¦We've pushed quite a few updates to the agents to fix non-ASCII poster/subtitle filename issues on Linux, metadata for personal show scanning, and a number of other issues.
• ¦We released a new version of Plex for Android, with fixes and a few new features. The update for Google TV is coming shortly!
• We're in the process of pushing a new release of Plex for iOS today to Apple, should be available in a week or so. Fixes and goodies abound, and to be nice, here's a full list of changes you have to look forward to:
• ¦NEW: Home screen sections can be re-ordered or hidden. Yay!
• ¦NEW: Background art while browsing. Pretty!
• ¦NEW: Easier to read list view when browsing by folder. Useful!
• ¦FIX: High bitrate content will correctly transcode instead of attempting Direct Play (thanks, majortom!)
• ¦FIX: Media deletion & progress reporting works when using myPlex without publishing servers.
• ¦FIX: Network addresses are resolved earlier to make playing media on remote clients more reliable.
• ¦FIX: Easier method for adding friends.
• ¦FIX: Crash when attempting to set a user rating for an item with no community rating.
• ¦FIX: Crash marking a show (un)watched.
• ¦FIX: A few layout & graphical issues.
• We also have a new Plex Media Server release for you, with a number of improvements, which can be downloaded from the usual place (and shortly from auto-update):
• ¦NEW: Added (advanced) preference for specifying location of Aperture/iPhone XML paths. The preference is ApertureLibraryXmlPath for Aperture and iPhotoLibraryXmlPath for iPhoto. Yes, we're going to have an easy way to get at these advanced preferences soon.
• ¦NEW: (Linux) Allow syslog logging via environment variable PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_USE_SYSLOG. This has been requested for ages.
• ¦NEW: (API) Massive performance improvement for players that ask for paged data (e.g. for Roku). If you have large library sections, you'll notice a big change; with 1000 items, the page requests are 6 times faster.
• ¦NEW: (API) Added /library/sections/X/{sorts|filters} endpoints for advanced filtering.
• ¦FIX: Sidecar (e.g. SRT) subtitle files work again. Sorry, that was a bad regression.
• ¦FIX: (Windows) Upload speeds from the server were artificially slow in some cases. We'd gotten sporadic reports over the months that upload speeds seemed limited, and we finally managed to track down the issue. The upload speed will now max out your connection, and will take much less CPU as well.
• ¦FIX: A crash when scanning for plug-ins when permissions are wrong.
• ¦FIX: (Mac) Fix some Aperture photos not displaying properly.
• ¦FIX: Library timeline could generate blank items occasionally.

• ¦FIX: When scanning files that had already been scanned, they didn't end up with thumbnails.

• ¦FIX: Fixed sleep prevention, OS X (and possibly Linux) should sleep now.
• ¦FIX: (Windows) Fixed a crash on start.
• ¦FIX: (Synology) DLNA to PS3 wasn't working.
