Transcode Doctor changelog

Every published version, newest first. Downloads are in your account; subscriptions and trials always get the latest version, lifetime licenses get updates within their update window.

0.1.5

LatestRequires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+

Fixed: the "License" link on the main page did not open the License page in Emby 4.10; the page now has the common MediaLab header (icon, title, the license status badge opening the License page, and a banner when the license is not active).

0.1.4

Requires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+

Fixed (licensing): the license key field is always visible, so a new key can be activated even while the saved license still shows as active; a refused key no longer replaces the saved key and the page shows why; when the last check fails (for example a deleted or revoked license), the page and the log show a warning with the date until which the saved license keeps working; activation, manual checks and release are written to the log.

0.1.3

Requires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+
  • The report no longer errors while a diagnosis is running; state is never written to /tmp.
  • Security (licensing): logs sent to medialab.works or exported no longer contain tokens, passwords or keys (lines are selected by the plugin's logger and secrets are masked); unencrypted license-server replies are refused; update and rollback install only packages with a verified MediaLab signature (and a size limit); the log export no longer puts the token in the URL; the License page escapes text in attributes correctly.
  • Also includes the privacy changes from 0.1.2: the payment QR code on the License page is generated locally, the payment link is no longer sent to a third-party QR service.

0.1.2

Requires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+
  • Privacy: the payment QR code on the License page is now generated locally, in the page; the payment link is no longer sent to a third-party QR service (api.qrserver.com).

0.1.1

Requires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+
  • Environment problems are shown only after the diagnosis finishes (no more false alerts while it runs).
  • The list of acceleration methods of Emby's ffmpeg is now read correctly.
  • nvidia-smi runs without the server's libraries, so the NVIDIA card name is shown correctly.

0.1.0

Requires Emby Server 4.10.1.0+
  • First release: hardware acceleration diagnosis with Emby's ffmpeg (NVENC, QuickSync, VA-API — H.264, HEVC, HEVC 10-bit, MPEG-2, VP9, AV1 decoding and H.264 / HEVC encoding, with speed); environment problems with the exact fix; a recommendation; history of transcoded playbacks with the reasons explained; an alert when transcoding runs on the CPU even though the graphics card works.
