🚀 Release v4.0

✨ New Features

  • WebView2 Control - FoliCon has been upgraded to use WebView 2, offering a smoother experience in poster mode and fixing intermittent UI freeze issues when loading videos.

  • Performance Optimization - Under-the-hood improvements have been made to enhance performance.

  • Plex Standard Naming Recognition - FoliCon is now capable of parsing the year and external id of media from the title. The title must follow TITLE (YEAR) {externalProvider-ID} format, e.g. Chernobyl (2019) {tmdb-87108}. (Refer to pull request #185). Credits to @Soitora for the suggestion.

    • Supports IMDb, TMDb, and TVDB.
    • The year and id are optional, although id is recommended. If only the year is present, FoliCon will use that, but multiple results may still appear.
    • The id is supported only in movie and TV modes, whereas in 'multi' mode, only the year is used.

  • Rating Shield Visibility - The rating shield is now hidden by default to reduce visual clutter until it is specifically needed.

  • Support for Unicode Characters - Unicode characters U+2236 and U+A789 are now supported and shouldn't result in false searches, while other Unicode characters will be stripped from media titles.

See folicon-docs

🐞 Bug Fixes

  • Incorrect Rating Decimals for Auto-Picked Titles - Corrected the issue where ratings would exceed two decimal places for auto-picked titles.
  • Collection Search Error - Fixed an error that would occur when including collection folders in movie searches.

⚠️ Important Notice

This version introduces a significant change due to the icon renaming. You will need to manually delete the .ico and desktop.ini files in folders previously processed with an older version of FoliCon, or use this PowerShell script to migrate to the new naming scheme.

Executing the script requires the following:

  1. Download the script and place it in the parent folder (such as C://movies).
  2. Right-click on the script and select 'Run with PowerShell'.
  3. Confirm the prompt to proceed with the folder clean-up.

System Requirements

  • .NET Framework: This application requires .NET 6.0 or higher. You can download it here.
  • WebView2: FoliCon requires WebView2 Runtime. It comes pre-installed on Windows 11. Download for other versions.
