| schestowitz | MySQL is mostly used on the Web, but with SaaS gaining momentum a lot of enterprise software now uses mysql+variants or postgres.

| schestowitz | Though there are some things that don't work. Some may be because of missing dependencies, like the missing video preview which is caused by me not having ffmpeg libraries.

| schestowitz | Also there are some features I miss: I can't find an option to add an entire folder or even just an album to the playlist and there is no pinch-to-zoom in the image viewer. | Mar 23 17:29 |
