Summary

This release fixes transcoding for some devices and bumps our major dependencies like FFmpeg and MediaInfo, as well as many others.

It is possibly our last v13 release, as our preview builds for v14 have been very stable and are feature-complete now. We are essentially in bug-fixing mode for that version, and now maintenance mode for this version.

Changes:

General

• Fixed transcoding on renderers with MediaInfo=false
• Added ability to add end-to-end web browser tests on Chrome, Firefox and Safari via Playwright
• Improved logging detail and test coverage (thanks, @Priyanka-GD!)
• Made server tests not run when only front-end code has changed

Translation updates via Crowdin

• English (UK) (49%) (thanks, Pete Russell!)
• Estonian (13%) (thanks, Avernys!)
• French (100%) (thanks, @Fredo1650!)
• Romanian (48%) (thanks, Bogdan Ungureanu!)
• Spanish (61%) (thanks, Diego León Giraldo Gómez!)
