Version 5 introduces a major overhaul with a focus on a cleaner UI, better performance, and expanded features.

What’s New?

• Fresh Branding: A new "Pi-Play" logo now serves as the default background for new browser visits.
• Refined UI:
  • Smoother Transitions: Polished animations when changing backgrounds.
  • Reduced Bloat: Optimized index.html for faster loading.
  • Stealth Mode: Click the branding logo to toggle the visibility of the "Easy Connect," "Select Background," and "System Status" buttons for a minimalist look.
• Integrated Torrent Downloader: A built-in way to manage downloads directly from the dashboard.

• Improved Installer: Optimized scripts for seamless version upgrades.

How to Use the Torrent Downloader

1. Navigate to Downloads on your dashboard.
2. Login: Use username pi and password pi.
3. Add Torrents: Click the Add Folder icon on the left, paste your magnet/torrent link, and you're set.
4. Automation: The system downloads in the background (you can close the tab) and automatically saves files to your Video folder.

Pro Tip: To organize your library, select Manage Server to enter Cockpit. Use the Navigator to browse to /var/lib/minidlna/Video to rename or move files. The Media Scraper runs daily at 5:00 AM to fetch metadata for your new content.
