The third beta version DMS Cloud Manager is released out!

[Wilson.Wang]

Hi All,

We now feel very proud to release the third beta version of DMS Cloud Manager.

The new DMS Cloud Manager is designed for the purpose of conveniently managing the multimedia library of your DVDFab Movie Server, but totally on the cloud. This is to say, with your Movie Server turned on and a live internet access, you can access and manage your multi-media library from anywhere, without having to sit next to your Movie Server anymore.

DMS Cloud Manager not only offers the basic functions, such as tag editing and custom management, available from Plex, Emby, and Synology Video Station, but also makes significant breakthroughs that have been baffling these traditional multimedia management solution providers for years. To name a few, the ability to manage the discs of bonus features, extra features, and the special editions of certain discs; and the ability of managing TV series, and movie combos, such as the 30-disc suite of Lord of the Rings plus The Hobbits, the Star Wars combo, etc.

With this stunning multi-media management ability from the Cloud Manager, and the equally stunning playback engine inside the Movie Server itself, DVDFab Movie Server now can truly live up to its fame as a 4K UHD Blu-ray Player.

What's New:

1. All-new UI;
2. All-new media management method;
3. Powerful Tag editing;
4. Smart playlist;
5. Manage movies, TV shows and family videos;
6. The same file and folder naming method as Plex, Kodi and Emby;
7. Manage the media library on your NAS storage;
8. Brand-new video image processing algorithm that solves the banding problem.

Known Issues:
1. The aspect ratio is incorrectly displayed in some cases, e.g., 2.35:1 is displayed as 40:17
2. Some adaptive problems in FirefoxQuantum
3. Some episodes might be missing if a single file contains multiple episodes.
4. The media library might be disappeared in some rare cases, when a factory reset is required.


- Users can do an incremental upgrade from version 1.x, and the user data will be retained.
- The media library will be retained during the upgrade process, but the playback history and favorites history will be lost.
- Please contact us, with your log files attached, if your media library gets lost after the upgrade.

I can't login to the MS Remote App on the MS Cloud Manager, it says my network is having an error. Would it be too much to ask to just have the option of creating playlists on the machine without having to use the phone and/or computer? Say for instance you click on a video and it asks if you want to play it now or add to playlist? I know you guys are capable of this.
