Hey!

I just released a new version of Movie Roulette! Here is the last post:

Github: 

What is Movie Roulette?

At its core it is a tool which chooses a random movie from your Plex/Jellyfin/Emby movie libraries.

You can install it either as a docker container or as a macOS dmg.

What is new since last post? For all release between 3.3 and 3.4 see here:

V3.4

• Added collection detection that identifies when a movie belongs to a franchise (e.g., "28 Days Later" collection)
• Implemented an animated notification button showing the number of unwatched/unavailable movies in a collection
• Created a comprehensive collection modal showing previous movies in the franchise
• Added status indicators showing which movies are:
  • In your library
