iSedora 2 extension logic is now more simple and straightforward. "User Scripts" will allow to customize and extend the server in any way. The DLNA server itself is implemented as a user script extension inside iSedora.
Detailed device information page with ability to change device display name. Will be very helpful for new clients debugging and transcoding profile matching.
We've just added two commands to allow manual device connection troubleshooting. "Search" will send discovery requests for all network devices. "Notify" will inform other devices that iSedora server is running and ready to accept connections.
Usually these actions are executed automatically on the background but for some rare cases it is helpful to manually trigger device discovery and server notification.
New security feature to allow device access based on unique identifier. This is more flexible than just IP address blocking since most home networks are configured with dynamic IP address assignment. Unique identifier never changes.
New rule is created automatically with hinted device name in the comment (started with #)
The device connection logic in the second version is completely reworked based on experience from the first version. Now iSedora keeps track of all local network devices. This will allow for more flexible device configuration.
