Version History

The version number format in FileFlows follows YY.MM.Release, where YY represents the last two digits of the year, MM represents the two digits for the month, and Release indicates the release number for the month. For instance, the first release for a month would be represented as 24.02.1, and subsequent releases within the same month would follow a similar pattern, such as 24.02.2 for the second release.

MySQL
- Drastically reduced database calls and improved performance
- Logging is now batched. 20 log lines will be written at a time. This does mean logs will be delayed in the "Logs" view until 20 messages have been received. This adds a few seconds to the live view of the logs between updates

Flows types. Flows are now separated into Standard and Failure.
- Can set a default Failure flow. If none is set then no failure flow will be used when a flow fails
Hold Period added to libraries. This allows you to hold any found files for a configured amount of minutes. These files will not be processed until after that time

Log DB Pruner was not pruning database logs

Version 0.8.3

New

Flow Editor: Copy and Paste nodes
Flow Editor: Undo/Redo history
System Page added (Premium Feature)
- This gives you an overview of the system including Codecs processed, CPU/Memory/Storage/Database statistics, Processing times etc
Removed "Statistics" page as the System Page page now replaces this
FFmpeg Builder: Video Codec no longer does a hardware test if a specific hardware encoder is specified.
- E.g. if you use qsv_h264 It will use that codec, it may fail, but it will use that
- If you just use "h264" or "hevc" or "h265" it will continue to do the hardware test
Server can now install/uninstall a systemd service using --systemd and --systemd --uninstall
Node can now install a systemd service using --systemd --uninstall
Server and Node now create an entry point bash script with using systemd and the auto-upgrade process takes place inside that script.
- This fixes the issue with systemd restarting FileFlows while the upgrade is happening and works similar to how the Docker upgrade works
Whenever the Server or Node is started a new log file will be created with a unique name.

Fixed

API Page failed to load due to swagger error
Removed "No File" dashboard portlet
Fixed issue with loading from localhost
Bug where "FFmpeg Builder: Subtitle Track Merge" would use the inverse of the selected files, so if you entered "sub" it would use any file but a "sub"
Renamed "Pattern Replacer" to "Filename Pattern Replacer"
Music Nodes: Fixed issue where MusicInfo was not updated after the file was processed
Updated QSV and VAAPI hardware decoding parameters
Plex Nodes are not able t find the path
Processing Nodes now default to "Process: All"
Step 1/2 hints for new installs now show on all screens
Fixed the "Pause Processing" button on the mobile view
Log files were created with no .log extension, causing the log cleaner to never delete the old log files
Misc Cosmetic improvements

Version 0.8.2

New

Added a "Search" for files. This allows you to search all files and discover any "hidden" files that may have had their library deleted.
Added an option to remove files when removing a library. This is selected by default
File viewer now has a link to partial log to view only the selected executed node.
- Logs had to change slightly so this will be imperfect for older processed files.
Added "Processing Node" to file viewer to show what processing node processed a file

Fixed

Improved MySQL performance
FFmpeg Builder: Add Audio Track bitrate now goes up to 2048Kbps
Fixed issue with scheduling time for workers could be a negative number causing FileFlows to crash on startup

Version 0.8.1

New

Video Legacy Nodes
- Moved old legacy Video Nodes into a separate plugin
- This plugin will be downloaded if upgrading from an earlier version, not if a clean install
New "Obsolete" indicator on obsolete nodes in the flow editor. And a warning will be shown if adding one of these nodes to the flow.
- Note: These nodes will eventually be deleted for good, so upgrade your flows.
Flow Templates updated to use FFmpeg Builder
Added "Date" to "Files" to show when the file was seen, processed, etc in relative time
Workers now run at set times instead of [x] minutes since starting. This change should reduce the load on the CPU
- Database Log Pruner - 5am
- Library File Log Pruner - 5am
- Library Worker
  - Every 30 seconds
  - On the hour if no libraries are set to "Scan"
- Log Cleaner - 3am
- Plugin Updater - 5am
- Server Auto Updater - 4am
- Telemetry Report - 5am
Watched Library
- Now uses a Timer than can be stopped/started when a file is added to the load queue
- Will now check known files before adding to the load queue
- When the queue is empty, the timer is stopped. When a file system event adds a new file, the timer is started
Get Next Library File now returns more information to the processing node to diagnose why nothing is being processed
Added option to log every request made to the server, this is helpful for debugging and understanding the load on the server
Updated order of hardware decoders to be: cuda, qsv, dxva2, d3d11va, opencl
New Node FFmpeg Builder: Metadata Remover
MySQL: Get Library Files now orders unprocessed by date added to the library

Fixed

Issue where only the first two processing nodes could be used even if those were not enabled if the system was unlicensed.
FFmpeg Builder: 10 Bit was using the wrong 10bit pixel format for libx265
Fixed "Video Has Stream" would always fail on language matches as it was using the codec value to perform the check

Version 0.8.0

New

External Database Support (MySQL / Maria)
- Library Process Order: As Found (default), Random, Newest, Smallest, Largest
- Enhanced logging, can view and search Server logs and Node logs all from the web console
"Pause" / "Resume" button now prompts for duration to pause for
Logging now logs to rolling log files which are kept for a configured amount of days
Links now have "noreferrer" on them
WAL mode is now used for SQLite database connections
Node: FFmpeg Builder: Custom Parameters
Node: FFmpeg Builder: Video Tag
Node: FFmpeg Builder: Set Language
- This flow element was the "FFmpeg Build: Audio Set Language" but has been renamed and extended to support subtitles
Node: FFmpeg Builder: Track Reorder
- This flow element was the "FFmpeg Build: Audio Track Reorder" but has been renamed and extended to support subtitles
Node now looks for additional Environmental variables for settings: NodeMappings, NodeRunnerCount, NodeEnabled

Fixed

Node: FFmpeg Builder: Video 10 Bit and FFmpeg Builder: Video Encode updated 10 Bit parameters to use p010le

Version 0.7.1

New

Added "Pause" / "Resume" button. I will extend this with a "Pause for [x] minutes" in a later version.
Node: Can Use Hardware Encoding

Fixed

The logging "Log Queue Messages" switch was inversed so when it was on, it was actually off and vice versa.
Issue with parsing comments in scripts if comment contained a "/" character
Script output labels not shown in the Flow
Editor would show the "Pending Changes" prompt if a code editor was previously opened. Eg edit a script, then go to Files and view a file. Closing that side window would cause the prompt to appear
Floats were not allowed in a number field when should be. This caused the "Video: Has Stream" to fail if trying to set channels to 5.1
Docker Nodes now have the correct mapping of FFmpeg when registered

Updates

Documentation now points to the new documentation site https://docs.fileflows.com

Version 0.7.0

New

Scripts new feature to allow reuse of Javascript function and easily share with other community members
Library Files are now called "Files" to avoid confusion

Numerous other improvements to reduce memory footprint

Fixed

Node "Video Has Stream" now works
Node "FFmpeg Builder: Video Encode" now uses preset "slower" for QSV instead of p6

Worker that will automatically cancel any runners that have not sent an update in 60 seconds.

Improvements

Moved "Dequeued" messages to debug log

Fixed

Issue with log file pruner being too aggressive and deleting any log
Issue when trying to delete a flow connection and the previously selected node was deleted instead
Issue with "Copy File" node when Server was a Linux server and Node was a Windows Node
