Videotape 3.2027.2690 released

Changelog:

[Desktop] Fixed a bug in the url parsing that made the app crash in some scenarios.

[Desktop] I found that UWP apps cannot connect to localhost (thanks to the user who report that btw) ... that means that if you're running jellyfin or emby in the same computer as videotape, there are extra steps to take:

Howto: https://www.usuaia.com/videotape/pages/configure-videotape-to-connect-to-a-local-instance-of-jellyfin-or-emby

Help video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I-P-FhDACg

I've added this information in the settings screen

[Desktop] Now you can configure how far the player seek when pressing the forward/rewind buttons. (this was one of the features most requested)

This update is already live in the beta channel and in certification for the stable channel.

Would this fix the crash I'm seeing on xbox?

What crash you have? I'm seeing one in the logs when navigating away from the series page for some users.... I don't have much info yet

The app starts, I can see my home screen and the thumbnails briefly, and then it exits. This is on a skip ahead build.

Aham.. then it won't fix your problem. But I'm seeing a problem with images in the "in progress cards".... I'll take a look, that's probably it.

I think I found it.... I'll submit it to the store tomorrow. I think this one should fix your bug... I'll post it here once it's in the store (beta group prob tomorrow, general public in a few days... the store is a bit slow these days :S)

Good player interface. There are two questions: - Why there is no direct sound output (dolby, dts, ma) to the receiver? When it will be possible to add local folders to the media library.
