Over the past weeks, a couple of contributors sent me fixes and new features for forked-daapd. Thanks to you all!
The biggest change is the addition of TV shows metadata as found, for instance, in TV shows bought on the iTunes store. Together with the added support for FrontRow and QuickTime clients, this means forked-daapd is a lot more able at streaming video files than it ever was. Kudos to Ace Jones for his work!
Note, however, that you’ll need a patched version of ffmpeg to pick up the TV shows metadata from your MP4 files. At the time of writing, the patches have not landed into ffmpeg upstream yet, and it’s a bit unclear when this will happen. Contact Ace for the patch and instructions, see the commits in the git tree for his email address.
