Improved Dashboard & New Media Server Reconnect Feature
Added 2025-04-30 19:53:07 +0000 UTCHere's a summary of the changes I've made to Zurg today (April 30, 2025) that might impact your setup. This is coming on the nightly version later.
Dashboard Improvements
π New "Reconnect Media Servers" Button
What it does: Allows you to quickly reconnect Zurg to your Plex/Jellyfin/Emby servers
When to use it: If you start Zurg before your media server, or if your media server restarts
Where to find it: In the Utilities section on the dashboard
π§ Reorganized Dashboard Layout
The "Shutdown" button has been moved to the top support section for easier access
Utilities have been reorganized into a collapsible panel
Added a dedicated "Utilities" toggle button in the top bar
Better organization of utility buttons with clearer descriptions
Added a link to documentation for torrent analysis tags
Removed Features
π¦ Automatic Library Dumping
The automatic dumping of library torrents feature has been removed
The dump_torrents_every_mins config option is no longer available
Why? This backup approach is no longer needed since better archiving options are available
If you were using this for backups, please use the "Archive zurgtorrents" utility instead
Under-the-Hood Improvements
Various optimizations to make Zurg run more efficiently
Better resource usage for media scanning operations
Improved error handling for media server connections
