Thema: Serviio

[SiLæncer]

Serviio works with many devices from your connected home (TV, Playstation 3, XBox 360, smart phones, tablets, etc.). It supports profiles for particular devices so that it can be tuned to maximise the device's potential and/or minimize lack of media format playback support (via transcoding). Serviio is based on Java technology and therefore runs on most platforms, including Windows, Mac and Linux (incl. embedded systems, e.g. NAS).

Release Notes

 We are happy to announce the release of a new 2.2 version. This is a fairly minor release in terms of the features.

The biggest change comes with the removal of TV metadata source thetvdb.com. Unfortunately the service changed the operating model and requires a payment now - which we were not ready to carry over to the proce of the product. Instead, themoviedb.org TV database will be used for matching your series metadata. The good folks over at trakt.tv put together an overview of what metadata pieces are missing, so if you can help, please contribute.

There is also a new QNAP package for Arm64 now.
