OpenFLIXR 1.5.0 - All-in-one Media Server

OpenFLIXR 1.5.0

OpenFLIXR Media Server (OpenFLIXR in short) is an all-in-one media server for downloading and serving virtually any kind of media you can think of. On the one side we have incredible useful tools to download media like CouchPotato, SickRage and Headphones, on the other side we have Plex Media Server to bring everything to your screens. Be it tablets, TVs, PCs, you name it. Everything is web based, including monitoring and management tools.

It will auto-update to keep everything running smooth and is preconfigured with sensible defaults. To be able to use OpenFLIXR, you’ll need a hypervisor like VirtualBox (Open Source), VMWare Fusion / Workstation / Player / ESXi, Parallels Desktop, KVM / unRAID or Microsoft Hyper-V.

It’s ready to go in a couple of minutes!

OpenFLIXR Online Update - Changelog 1.5.0

To update from 1.x to 1.5.0

    Login to console or SSH
    Execute sudo updateopenflixr and enter your password
    System will reboot when done

OpenFLIXR is considered stable at this point & landing page is done for now.

I’ve begun work on better Mopidy support and everything related (this is some unexpected complicated stuff :S) and automatic backups.

Focus will also be the web wizard and other (requested) features. (besides bugfixes when discovered)

• New: converted landing page into a Github repo (updates will automatically install)

• New: LazyLibrarian (/librarian, service, auto-updated, monit, will place books in /mnt/books (so add this mount) and will automatically be picked up by uBooquity!) Uses port 5299 if you want to add it to server monitor.

• Updated: perfected the landing page and added a “Now showing” feature. This will pull information from your Plex library via PlexPy and IMDB for the latest added 6 movies. The only requirement is you connect your PMS in Plexpy.
• Fixed: humongous bug where packages wouldn’t be installed and hung update process with updateopenflixr, regression fixes applied
• Fixed: log spamming extraordinaire
• Fixed: Monit wouldn’t start in certain conditions
• Fixed: security hardening
• Fixed: a lot of misc things (packages being hold back, really really fixed interactive prompts, more autoupdated packages, amongst other things)
• Improved: time drifting, for this to be more reliable, you have to disable time sync from your hypervisor. Everything else is done from OpenFLIXR. Let me know how this works out for you.
• Addendum: fixplexrequest works as long as you refresh the API key in Plexrequest but do not submit it

OpenFLIXR Web Wizard Update - Changelog 1.2

Web Wizard updates are automatically installed at boot time.
So when you (re)boot OpenFLIXR you will get the latest version.

• Plexrequest Sickrage/Sonarr fixed where they were both activated resulting in not functioning
  Can’t find another solution than disabling Sonarr in plexrequest where you have to enable it yourself with the correct info.
  When you go for the recommended and default Sickrage, there is nothing changed.

• Fixed 504 ‘Gateway Timed Out’ at finishing setup, now gives you a nice countdown

• Fixed rare condition where someone would enter non IP addresses in ‘static’ and switch back to dhcp, resulting in corrupted network settings
• Some cleanup and visual changes

• A small fix where you can't choose your own DNS server from now on.
  See release notes of OpenFLIXR Online Update 1.1.7

• Fixed: network settings were not always applied

• Fixed: letsencrypt settings were not always applied
• Password validation improved
• Updates to stay in sync with online update version
• Miscellaneous small stuff
