MediaElch 2.6.2 - Ferenginar
The next stable version 2.6.2 is finally here! And we finally have a blog again: https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-bl...ch-v2.6.2/
What’s new?
This version fixes multiple bugs and has many small improvements. A lot of race-conditions and possible crashes were fixed so that MediaElch should now run without issues.
Support of multiple Kodi versions
You can now choose the Kodi Version for which MediaElch should generate NFO files. The previous versions were not compatible with Kodi v17 and v18 which has now been fixed. MediaElch now uses the new ID format (uniqueid) and has updated other tags as well. You can choose Kodi’s version in MediaElch’s settings:
Attention developers: We now use CMake as our primary build system! We also switched from QList<T> to QVector<T> as our default container type. This made some painful bugs visible which this version fixes. Google’s address sanitizer is now used to build and test MediaElch and we recommend using it.
Package maintainers can now use the DISABLE_UPDATER and USE_EXTERN_QUAZIP build flags to distribute MediaElch in a way that is compatible with packaging guidelines.
We now also have more and better documentation for new contributors. You can find it at https://github.com/Komet/MediaElch/tree/...ntributing
What’s next?
We will continue to improve MediaElch. No huge features are planned at the moment. The next version will finally use TheTVDb API v2 which didn’t make it into this version.
Where can I download MediaElch?
Stable releases can be downloaded from https://mediaelch.github.io/mediaelch-doc/download.html
For Linux distributions we provide repositories for Ubuntu (.deb) and openSUSE (.rpm). If we're missing a Ubuntu or openSUSE version, please let me know. :-)
Chocolatey and Homebrew may take a few days until the new version is available.
Where can I get help?
For general question use Kodi forums, e.g.
