OneStop Update — October 2026

We’ve been improving OneStop across the server, Android apps, desktop synchronization, and our upcoming Roku app. These updates focus on easier organization, clearer navigation, more reliable email, and faster video playback.

OneStop Video and TV libraries

• Improved movie and TV identification using filenames and folder structure.
• TV libraries organize into series → seasons → episodes, with available posters, descriptions, episode names, and thumbnails.
• Added support for specials such as 0x03 under Specials, and season-specific episodes such as 3x00 within Season 3.
• Improved metadata matching and correction tools. Users can fix incorrect titles, artwork, series information, and season details from the server website.
• Fixed problems with blank editing windows and editors unexpectedly closing.
• Added video deletion, including personal videos, with Trash and Undo support. Removing a linked external video does not delete its original file.

Metadata matching preserves original filenames and files. Ambiguous matches remain available for user review.

Playback and storage improvements

• Added device capability reporting to help choose direct playback, repackaging, audio conversion, or video conversion.
• Added adaptive streaming and on-demand streaming for supported playback paths.
• Preserved source frame timing instead of forcing movies to 30 frames per second.
• Added supported hardware-encoding options with software fallback.
• Reduced repeated library loading, metadata processing, and unnecessary preparation.
• Background conversions yield to active playback.
• Added playback diagnostics to help identify buffering and server bottlenecks.
• Made automatic full compatibility copies optional and off by default.

Original videos are preserved. Temporary streaming segments, artwork, thumbnails, and optional prepared versions still use disk space. Existing full compatibility copies are not automatically removed when that option is disabled. The FAQ now explains these differences.

Roku app — in development

OneStop Video for Roku is still in development and is not yet available in the Roku Streaming Store. Current builds are developer previews for testing.

Development improvements include:

• Connection to your own HTTPS OneStop server, with on-TV sign-in and a saved connection for later visits.
• Movie, TV show, personal video, and Continue Watching browsing.
• Larger poster cards with artwork filling the image area and titles underneath.
• A collapsible sidebar that makes more room for browsing.
• Search, genre and themed collections, watched filters, and sorting by title, date added, or release date.
• Series overviews, season selection, episode descriptions, and supported chapter thumbnails.
• Full-screen playback, standard playback icons, resume, Start from beginning, and watched-progress indicators.
• Remote navigation improvements, including held-arrow seeking and easier access to playback controls.
• Library caching and startup recovery improvements.
• Optional holiday themes, including Thanksgiving, with matching seasonal scenery and animations.
• Realistic background landscapes and sunny seasonal scenes.
• Enjoy the scenery, which hides the browsing interface and leaves the background and enabled animations visible.

The latest development build addresses a problem where the opening OK press could immediately close Enjoy the scenery. Device testing and further playback refinement continue before public release.

OneStop Mail

• Improved server-side monitoring for new messages, including reconnection and recovery after interrupted synchronization.
• Added an encrypted Outbox so the server can continue processing an acknowledged message after the app closes.
• Added clearer sending progress and delivery-failure information.
• Improved attachment sending and added image-attachment thumbnails for received and sent messages.
• Added persistent Pin to top, along with individual and whole-folder read/unread actions.
• Improved compose controls, reading space, mobile layouts, and message formatting.
• Moved connection information into Settings.
• Improved recovery of readable message content when HTML is empty.
• Blocked messages can retain safe text, sender, and subject while unsafe links and attachments remain disabled.
• Provider synchronization preserves folder organization and stores older inbox messages in a local OneStop archive without moving them on the provider.

Server monitoring continues while the server is running. Android background checks remain periodic and subject to Android scheduling; instant push notifications have not been added.

Calendar, Contacts, Photos, and Documents

• Calendar alerts open event details before editing, and daily appointments appear chronologically.
• Improved organizer and attendee display, including recovery from saved invitation data when available.
• Contacts can import available phone contact photos and open the dialer or email app from contact actions.
• Photos uses smaller display previews before requesting full originals for zooming.
• Camera improvements include timer access and collapsible controls for creative settings.
• Automatic QR detection presents tappable web addresses and distinguishes passkey codes.
• Android Photos and Documents register for supported image and PDF opening.
• Appearance settings are isolated by user and server.
• Added app-discovery links within web modules and removed outdated testing-build wording from release settings.

Server drives and desktop synchronization

• Added support for video libraries on separate drives and accessible network shares without copying the original videos.
• Added a separate storage location for new encrypted uploads.
• Windows and Linux desktop sync support selecting individual files and folders for two-way sync, Move to server, or Leave untouched.
• Move to server verifies the uploaded file before removing the unchanged local copy. Failed or unverified transfers remain on the computer.
• Expanded setup and troubleshooting guidance for storage permissions, external drives, and synchronization.

HTTPS, setup, and support

• Added administrator settings for Let’s Encrypt certificates with automatic renewal.
• Added support for uploading your own certificate and private key.
• Added a private home-network HTTP setup option.
• Storage indicators turn red near capacity.
• Improved installer timeouts and troubleshooting logs.
• Expanded the FAQ with video organization, metadata correction, streaming storage, desktop sync, and Roku guidance.
