Change log

Document every improvement and stay up to date on EFV’s latest advancements.

  1. Improved unauthorized responses in timestamp protection.
  2. Metadata imports accept posters alongside tags, descriptions and categories, then automatically send all information through api after transcoding.
  3. Batch copying of m3u8/screenshots includes every resolution and adaptive m3u8.
  4. Restored and improved aggressive multithreaded m3u8 downloads, retrieving and merging m3u8 videos very quickly when the network permits.
  5. Adaptive m3u8 supports route parameters appended to URLs, reading adaptive m3u8 segments from the specified route.
  6. Shared a simple cloud-drive system developed long ago, free for experience/testing. Details: View introduction.
  1. Fixed rare cases where uploaded filenames containing symbols failed to appear in video management in recent automatic-trimming versions.
  2. Mac CMS collection adds poster selection, player settings and preview collection options.
  3. Added automatic watermark/scrolling-text removal: include removal coordinates, start and duration in the filename before upload to apply automatically.
  1. Added automatic trimming of arbitrary video intervals followed by transcoding, including a remote trimming api for remote video excerpts. Details: Documentation.
  2. Added batch import of N gallery archives.
  3. Fixed an earlier api verification mistake. If correct api requests fail verification, update to the latest version.
  1. Improved notifications: after transcoding, send m3u8, screenshots and all video information by POST to a specified domain. Third parties can automatically upload through api, transcode and receive URLs without signing into the system.
  2. Improved code and interface operations to reduce operator-related errors and maximize stability and usability.
  1. Improved Mac cms collection api with additional checks to minimize errors.
  2. Posters can be uploaded manually before transcoding, alongside automatic poster imports and upload matching.
  3. Improved GPU transcoding parameters for compatibility with the latest ffmpeg.
  4. Improved administration button positions and presentation for new users.
  1. Added a Mac CMS collection api, replacing the cumbersome third-party CMS publishing system. Enable collection api to synchronize all published video/series metadata, including tags and descriptions, through api into Mac CMS. Newly added or modified videos/series also synchronize to Mac CMS.
  2. Added transcoding, download and bt statistics.
  3. Fixed known minor issues and improved details. Changelog.
  1. Built-in global IP data identifies carriers by visitor IP and returns carrier-specific m3u8 routes: China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom users receive their matching route; others receive the default. Millisecond responses can reduce operating costs by over 40%.
  2. Identify countries from visitor IP to block selected countries from M3U8, screenshots and all application URLs, also serving as a temporary indirect defense against some regional CC attacks.
  3. Completely rewrote and embedded cloud-storage distribution. Supports Qiniu, Upyun, Cloudflare r2, Amazon s3, Huawei Cloud, minio, bunny, Alibaba OSS, wasabi and Google Cloud Storage, with more added as needed. Supports synchronization of hundreds of millions of files, precise resource limits and source-file deletion settings.
  4. Added formatting for website-management settings, blocked untranscoded videos from batch episode addition, added checks for system inclusion in video management and gallery image-count validation, plus other small improvements.
  5. Details: View update.
  1. Added multitrack transcoding. Detect multiple audio tracks, such as Cantonese, Mandarin, English or German, and create separate video versions using each track. An mp4 containing Mandarin, Cantonese and English appears as three corresponding versions in video management.
  2. Added a pre-transcoding screenshot toggle. Enabled screenshots use source resolution and bitrate; otherwise screenshots are taken after watermark/scrolling-text removal and transcoding.
  3. Added gallery-management search.
  4. Landscape-poster app galleries add search via the top-right button, available to members by default.
  5. Landscape-poster app galleries add favorites via the heart beside the title; tap again to remove. Members only by default.

  1. Improved adaptive m3u8 resolution requirements to allocate resolution-specific m3u8 more appropriately to user bandwidth.
  2. Removed download-speed limitations for youtube, allowing maximum-speed youtube downloads.
  3. Watermark/scrolling-text removal templates can bind to categories and apply automatically during transcoding.
  4. Rewrote import logic for greater efficiency with tens or hundreds of thousands of videos at once.
  5. Batch publishing pushes all m3u8 and related data for a selected number of videos to Mac cms.
  6. Scheduled publishing supports all videos without category or uncategorized restrictions, with more flexible api retrieval.
  7. Built-in cms can hide selected categories from the home page, such as categories used for removal templates.
  8. Fixed preview prompts when viewing group-restricted categories in built-in cms.
  9. Landscape-poster app adds recommended Bee collections/watchlists displayed in the app.
  10. Landscape-poster app adds rotating home announcements with clickable details.
  11. Landscape-poster app adds advanced abstracted image loading: tap failed images to retry.
  1. Added Cloud Smart Editing for future cloud editing, composition and short-video production. Initial composition merges any number of videos with arbitrary codecs/resolutions into specified output dimensions.
  2. bt downloads add batch magnet creation/deletion. RSS/XML subscriptions automatically extract rar, 7z and zip archives and publish galleries.
  3. Table exports add video size, duration and related fields.
  4. Routes support extra segment parameters for signatures and origin verification.
  5. File management views/extracts 7z archives, including downloaded or server-stored video archives.
  6. With token protection enabled, invalid adaptive m3u8 token requests return advertising video.
  7. Website management checks ports to avoid conflicts with installed nginx or apache.
  8. Improved all administration pages: accidentally deleted data does not disrupt other features, and settings affecting transcoding display warnings to prevent mistakes.
  9. Gallery uploads support 7z/zip/rar archives with automatic extraction, image discovery, sorting and publication.
  10. Gallery API randomly retrieves a specified number of galleries for landscape-poster APP features.
  11. Released the commercial cloud-drive system with powerful sharing and a traffic-attracting mechanism, paired with our mandatory ads to promote CMS and APP effectively.
  12. Added cloud-drive ad management and a custom mandatory-ad system on playback pages.
