v1.9.2

Titles of search results can be configured
Containers in virtual layout can be defined as search result, so, e.g. albums, located in several places are only found once
Metadata, like artist, appearing multiple times are now stored in that way and can be sent to UPnP clients as separate entries as well or addressed in layout scripts. If you have a custom js import script which updates metadata you have to modify it using the new properties (see doc on scripting)
DLNA profile can be configured using video and audio codec, allow devices to pick supported streams
DLNA profile can be set for transcoding
