# Old Updates
### 2024-08-10
I have recently added new experimental feature, to play your content directly from the WebUI. This feature is still in
alpha, and missing a lot of features. But it's a start. Right now it does auto transcode on the fly to play any content in the browser.
The feature requires that you mount your media directories to the `WatchState` container similar to the `File integrity` feature. I have plans to expand
the feature to support more controls, however, right now it's only support basic subtitles streams and default audio stream or first audio stream.
The transcoder works by converting the media on the fly to `HLS` segments, and the subtitles are selectable via the player ui which are also converted to `vtt` format.
Expects bugs and issues, as the feature is still in alpha. But I would love to hear your feedback. You can play the media by visiting
the history page of the item you will see red play button on top right corner of the page. If the items has a play button, then you correctly mounted
the media directories. otherwise, the button be disabled with tooltip of `Media is inaccessible`.
The feature is not meant to replace your backend media player, the purpose of this feature is to quickly check the media without leaving the WebUI.

We recently enabled listening on tls connections via `8443` which can be controlled by `HTTPS_PORT` environment variable.
Before today, we simply only exposed the port via the `Dockerfile`, but we weren't listening for connections on it.
However, please keep in mind that the certificate is self-signed, and you might get a warning from your browser. You can
either accept the warning or add the certificate to your trusted certificates. We strongly recommend using a reverse proxy.
instead of relying on self-signed certificates.

We have recently added a new WebUI feature, `File integrity`, this feature will help you to check if your media backends
are reporting files that are not available on the disk. This feature is still in alpha, and we are working on improving
it.
This feature `REQUIRES` that you mount your media directories to the `WatchState` container preferably as readonly. There is plans to add
a path replacement feature to allow you change the pathing, but it's not implemented yet.
This feature will work on both local and remote cloud storages provided they are mounted into the container. We also may recommend not to
use this feature depending on how your cloud storage provider treats file stat calls. As it might lead to unnecessary money spending. and of course
it will be slower.
For more information about how we cache the stat calls, please refer to the [FAQ](FAQ.md#How-does-the-file-integrity-feature-works).
