How to get started with Movie Engine Pro
1.0.6 (28 September 2026)
- Deleting a TV series also removes its seasons and episodes. Deleting a season removes that season’s episodes. Deleting one episode removes only that episode. Restoring from Trash restores the linked items too.
- Fix: Watch Page on small screens keeps server buttons in two columns inside the page. Long server names stay on one line. Slider arrows no longer stick out and create a sideways scroll.
- Fix: Episode page on small screens stacks the series title and season label, keeps the date and runtime on one line, and keeps Add to Watchlist on one line.
- Fix: A slider with no width no longer freezes the page while building dots.
- Fix: The TV Series admin list saves season and episode totals on each series, so opening the list does not count every episode again.
- Fix: A series page keeps an ordered list of season and episode IDs. Later views load only the current episode page, not metadata for the whole catalog.
- Fix: Related titles are chosen from a short recent set. Rating and views lists reuse a saved ID list for 15 minutes.
1.0.5 (25 September 2026)
- New: Disable Right Click ads link (Player → Security). When the option is on, a link field appears.
- Right-click, Inspect shortcuts, and an already-open Inspect window send the visitor to that link. If the link is empty, the page stays covered until Inspect is closed.
- Right-click is blocked on the page and on ad slots (header, sidebar, footer, popup, corner, and player ads).
- Fix: External Player URL templates keep placeholders such as
{tmdb_id} when settings are saved.
1.0.4 (24 September 2026)
- New: Import Images setting (Settings → API) — choose Load from TMDb (remote URLs) or Download to Media Library for movie, TV series, season, and episode posters/stills.
- New: Poster Image URL meta and Media tab field — Featured Image overrides remote URL when set (same pattern as person photos).
- Improved: Frontend poster resolution uses Featured Image → TMDb poster URL → episode still fallback across cards, heroes, player, SEO, widgets, and search.
1.0.3 (22 September 2026)
- New: Person Profile Image URL (TMDb) — import stores a remote URL instead of downloading every actor photo into the Media Library.
- New: Person photo priority — Featured Image first, then TMDb profile URL, then placeholder (single, cards, cast, admin list).
- Fix: Watch Page sidebar no longer prints raw
[movie_engine_ad_sidebar] when ads are disabled.
- Fix: Admin Persons “Photo” column shows TMDb URL when no Featured Image is set.
1.0.2 (20 September 2026)
- Added Popup ads control with delay, dismiss memory, and optional re-show after close.
- Added Sticky bottom-right ads with minimize strip and optional full close.
- Added Sidebar ad slot (300x250) in Monetization → Ad Slots for Watch Page and
[movie_engine_ad_sidebar].
- Added Single Movie layout style: Classic (
/player/) or Watch Page (inline player).
- Added TMDb Discover helpers for language, country, and genre filters.
- Fixed Container Max Width setting (removed hardcoded 1290px override).
- Fixed Watch Page Player Top ad so only one ad shows above the player.
- Fixed empty or placeholder-only ad codes (e.g.
#) so they are not rendered.
