Hot on the heels of Version 4 and the addition of the media scraper tool, I have updated the media scraper (that runs at 5am) :-

Media scraper matches your movies and then downloads Movie art, Movie synopsis and now downloads IMDB rating as well as Rotten tomato movie rating.

also added the synopsis as a clickable link to the movie on wikipedia for film buffs to check out.

Fixed issues with 125 DPI scaling

Fixed placement of the movie window and the synopsis window

Made the Movie scraper with tolerance to not be blacklisted from duckduckgo when searching for hundreds of movie art. it  no  longer spams the search engine to get blacklisted on searches.

Added resume option on previously watched movies

Resume  on previously watched movie :

can be downloaded / upgraded by running :-

wget -qO main.zip https://github.com/diddy-boy/mini-pi-media-server/archive/refs/heads/main.zip && unzip -o main.zip && cd mini-pi-media-server-main && unzip -o pi-setup*.zip && cp -rf pi-setup ~/ && cd ~ && rm -rf mini-pi-media-server-main main.zip && cd ~/pi-setup && chmod +x ./*.sh && sudo ./mini-pi-setup.sh
