Oversight Jukebox r571-stable

[lordy]

All,

The latest BETA of Oversight is available from CSI or NMT Installer

Version r571-stable

This version (r571-stable) should have
- tv box set view (note changing titles do not appear in Gaya)
- most fixes for recent changes to scanning

After the recent spate of bugfix releases I'm mindful that people may have been put off with downloading and installing buggy versions. Even if the bugs didnt affect them, they see constant alerts in CSI. So from now on there will be two types of releases:

-stable:

Stable releases will have the "-stable" suffix in the version. They will either be:
- releases that have come through a beta cycle OR
- have emergency fixes to serious bugs (bugs that affect most people most of the time)

-testing:

Beta releases will have the "-testing" suffix in the version. New functionality will be proven here before it appears in a stable version.
Beta releases will be available via the project download page, and possibly the CSI as a separate download to -stable.

• Quickly filter by first letter. Remote key '2'='a' '22'='b' etc.
• Watched=RED Unwatched=GREEN
• Better scanning. (Faster and more accurate I think)
• Better remote folder watching.
• To rescan a single item - delist it (not delete!)- then in in Rescan window - scan for new files only.
• Startup order by Name or Age
• Startup with TV shows, Movies or Both
• Episode Titles are back (configurable)
• Many bug fixes

Oversights main strengths are :

• Very easy to setup. (no PC, involved)
• Automatically adds new media from nzbget downloads - combined with Feedtime this gives you an internet based PVR type function. (like T I V O / S k y + )
• Recognizes scene names - rarely need to rename files to a strict format.
  

Main weakness at the moment is looks, but this will improve over time. I may even add reflection one day just for fun It is the low maintenance and configuration overhead that really sets Oversight apart from other Jukeboxes.
