Emby Watch Party v1.4.0

Added

  • APP_PREFIX support for reverse proxy deployments: Deploy at a URL path prefix (e.g., /watchparty)
    • New APP_PREFIX config option for path-based reverse proxy setups
    • Uses Flask Blueprint with dynamic url_prefix for native route handling
    • Socket.IO path automatically configured for prefixed deployments
    • All templates and API calls updated to respect prefix
  • Playback progress sync with Emby server: Watch progress now syncs back to Emby
    • Reports playback start, progress, and stop events to Emby
    • Periodic progress reporting every 10 seconds
    • Resume watching from where you left off on any Emby client
  • Pre-release support in GitHub Actions: Release workflow now handles alpha/beta/rc versions
    • Auto-detects pre-release tags and sets GitHub release flag accordingly
    • Skips latest and major.minor Docker tags for pre-releases

Changed

  • Unified production entrypoint: Consolidated run_linux_production.py and run_windows_production.py into single run_production.py
    • Both platforms now use gevent, eliminating need for separate files
    • Simpler deployment with single command: python run_production.py

Fixed

  • Session cookie for reverse proxy deployments: Login now works correctly when using APP_PREFIX behind a reverse proxy
    • Added SESSION_COOKIE_PATH configuration to match APP_PREFIX
    • Added SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE='Lax' for proper redirect handling after login
    • Fixes issue where session cookie wasn't sent with prefixed routes
