Update 1.24.2

Fixes:

• Pictures were ugly on some screens (introduced in 1.24.1)
• Fix an error preventing from opening "stats" multiple times

Enhancements:

• Local JSON "share" API has been compressed (deflate), it's backwards-compatible, but will improve network performance
• Images from TMDB should now be ~30% smaller, enhancing network performance
• Try some speed-up improvements (v8-compile-cache, lazyload images, use requestIdleCallback instead of setTimeout

Update 1.24.1

New experimental feature:

• cast videos to DLNA devices, like an LG WebOS TV : activate DLNA in the settings, then use 'cast' (rss-like) button when downloading a file. At the moment, there is no way to cast subtitles (other than embedded in MKV's for example) nor to cast a local video file.

Updates:

• New plugin provider
• Preload background-image on Details to prevent "pop-in" effect
• Update the trakt .woff font (it has the new logo)
• Add 'ratings chart' in Stats profile page

Bugfixes:

• Removing the "custom list" name will now display correctly the list as "Custom"
• Fix an issue when reloading the app (CTRL+R) and it opened a blank websearch page
• Fix the 'white flash' at startup, that happened because the theme was applied a few ms after the app was opened
• Ratings will now be displayed after a 'sort' (by duration, by theme, etc.)

Bugfixes:

• the streamer now uses default announces as it was supposed to be since 2018...

As of 18/07/2023, Windows Defender flags NWjs as being a virus (nwjs/nw.js#8054 (comment)). There is nothing I can do at the moment, it does seem to be a false positive though, but it's at your own risk.
