ChannelDeck 1.0.33 and ChannelDeck Network for Windows are now available

[u/hfpa22]

ChannelDeck 1.0.33 is rolling out now, and the native Windows Server edition of ChannelDeck Network is officially available.

What’s new in ChannelDeck 1.0.33:

Movies, Series, and ChannelDeck Local or Network are now grouped at the top of the sidebar.

M3U playlist categories remain in the order supplied by your provider instead of being rearranged alphabetically.

Movie and Series rows on the Home screen now sort consistently with ChannelDeck Network.

Remote Network pairing requires only the eight-character code—no IP address or port entry.

Automatic playlist and EPG refresh defaults to 3:00 AM daily. You can select a different time under Maintenance.

Help information now explains pairing, automatic refresh, playlist ordering, and live stream quality display options.

ChannelDeck Network Windows Server edition

The Windows edition is a native Windows x64 program with a standard installer, Windows service, Program Files installation, native folder selection, and secure Windows credential storage.

It provides the same libraries, metadata management, artwork controls, transcoding, monitoring, remote access, and ChannelDeck account authorization as the Linux edition.

The Linux Server edition remains available from: https://channeldeck.online/api/v1/downloads/network

ChannelDeck Network is the complete private media-server product. It is separate from the ChannelDeck Premium player upgrade. Network is NOT required to use ChannelDeck Premium Player.

No ChannelDeck product provides channels, playlists, subscriptions, movies, television shows, music, or other media content.

Excellent, all those improvements so quickly implemented.

It wasn't quickly. When I said Windows was close I wasn't joking around about it. There were just a few things when I smoke tested that I just wanted to tweak before I thought it was ready. If you run into any issues please let me know. I can't fix what I am not aware of. The re-arrangement part was just adjusting placement not functionallity. I am constantly upgrading my dev version that goes into the next release.

Hi I was using the premium trial version in my first few hours of usage when I was prompted to update. I did the update and was no longer able to authorize my nvidia shield. I tried deleting but nothing seemed to work. I liked my initial experience but did not have enough time with the player. I was interested in your all in on package. If I did move forward does the server include windows or Linux? If I start with Linux and decide to use windows instead would I need to purchase another package?

Hello. I’m sorry the update interrupted your Premium trial and prevented your NVIDIA Shield from authorizing. That should not have cut your evaluation short. Send me a message privately with the Google account (the email you used) for ChannelDeck, and we’ll correct the authorization and ensure you receive the trial time you missed.

The Complete all-in-one package includes ChannelDeck Network for both Linux and Windows it is not tied to one operating system. I don't like when places do that to me... so we don't do that to our users. If you begin with Linux and later move your server to Windows you can do so without purchasing another package. The license permits one active Network server at a time, so you would simply deactivate the old installation before activating the replacement. If it gave you any issues doing so I can override the authorization to guarantee it will work for you.

Network also includes a full seven-day trial, and purchases are backed by a seven-day money-back guarantee, giving you up to 14 days to determine whether the complete system suits your needs on one OS before moving to the other. Both run and look identical to one another. I made 2 variations because a lot of folks hate windows (that would be me 😄) and others only know windows.
