🎉 New Features

🎉 Extension System

V2 introduces an extension system that allows you to add more options to many parts of the application, including torrent providers, manga, and online streaming sources. Extensions can be created using Go, JavaScript, or TypeScript and can easily be hosted, installed, and updated.

• Create or install torrent provider, online streaming, and manga source extensions.
• Support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Go languages.
• Easily share extensions by hosting them on GitHub or any public URL.
• Extensions are sandboxed for security and have access only to essential APIs.

This system is still in its early stages but will be expanded in the future to allow for more customization. Read more about creating extensions here.

🎉 System Tray (Windows)

Seanime now launches as a system tray application on Windows, offering quick and easy access.

🎉 External Player Link (Custom Scheme)

You can now configure a custom scheme to open media files with external players like VLC, MX Player, Outplayer, or Infuse on your other devices, removing the need for transcoding.

In addition, you can manage how Seanime plays media files on your devices by setting different external player links and playback settings for each device.

• Open media in external player apps using custom URL schemes.
• Stream both downloaded media and torrents directly to your preferred player that supports custom schemes.
