- This is the first stable release from 1.5.x, so for stable users, this version also comes with the changes from 1.5.0: https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv/releases/1.5.0
- Fix issues with nvidia caused by the loading screen.
- An 'interlude screen' similar to the loading screen is now played between programs (if transcoding is enabled). This screen is by default a black image and is intended to not be noticeable unless there is lag calculating the current program or playing the file from plex. This seems to improve the playback experience, reducing those moments where the stream freezes right before the video changes.
- The video queue will not be stopped after a client plays 100 videos in a row. However, the current workaround is not optimal, you might experience a couple of artifacts when transitioning from the 100-th video to the next one.
- Improved library browser, you can now select where in the channel the videos will be inserted. You can also refresh the plex library in case you can't find a program you added recently.
- New algorithm for picking what filler to play during Flex. I hope this reduces those feelings of dejavu...
- The reproduction times for the fillers is now persistent instead of in-memory. Basically, this means that if dizqueTV is restarted or crashes, it will still remember which fillers were played more recently.
1.5.x versions are now considered 'stable'. Currently the 'stable' and 'edge' branches are the same, but this is going to change.
A more-internal change is that the repository is now configured to automatically generate docker tags and executable files whenever the development branch is updated. See [the wiki](https://github.com/vexorian/dizquetv/wiki/Versions) for more info.

Known issues:
- Virus Total reports the windows executable as malware. This appears to be a false positive that affects all apps using nexe to bundle nodejs. To date other scanners haven't had that issue. But if you don't trust us on this you are feel to build the app from source instead of using the executable.
- Some weird things are going on with getting Music libraries and albums from Plex (Something about some 'albums' no longer being returned as 'albums' by Plex?). I'd recommend to use a Playlist to import music to ensure that all the tracks are found.
For native executable files look below:
bug_2023-11-27-nvidia
Test nvidia build
1.5.1-nvidiatest-fix
Fix this test tag
1.5.1-nvidiatest-tag
this should have useful fixes for nvidia. Hopefully
