I have added functionality to show related albums on the photo album pages.

It can both show photo albums of the same band(s) and photo albums that are otherwise related.

Mission complete: I have now moved all of my videos from Vimeo.com to Streamable.com. All is good.

The video player looks a bit different and is less advanced, but it responds way faster and it does what it has to do: play videos.

Let it Röck!

All my videos have been hosted at Vimeo.com for about 7 years now. A few days ago, Vimeo raised the amount I have to pay with a whopping 267% for basically the same service.

It looks like I might have already found a new video home: Streamable.com. They offer fair prices, good functionality, fine video quality, and they are ad free.

I have already moved my Sodakill videos to Streamable.com. I will now evaluate if I like what I see, and then possibly move the rest of my videos.

I have added a warning box on the video-album and photo-album pages - if you open them on a mobile phone from a Facebook link. Facebook messes with external links (like this site), and interferes with functionality like rotating the view from vertical to horizontal.

The solution is to open the pages in an external browser (outside of Facebook's reach). The instructions on how to do so is in the warning box. It is very simple to do. There seems to be no way to instruct Facebook to fuck off and leave my pages alone.

I have made a lot of updates to the photo and video pages in close cooperation with GitHub Copilot. The layout has been changed and so has the navigation. 

It is not perfect yet. I will have to spend the next days and maybe weeks to fine tune, adjust and tweak the functionality further.

I have made some adjustments to the layouts of the boxes on the Welcome and Statistics pages.

The pages now allow an extra box per row on displays having a width of 1920 pixels.

I've upgraded the site to .NET 10 Blazor. It was surprisingly easy.

The next few days will tell if there are any issues. So far everything looks to be working fine.

I have added support for swipe gestures on the Photos pages. This means that if you are viewing a photo on a touchscreen device (e.g. mobile phone), you can now swipe left/right for the next/previous photo.

On a PC you can still use the keyboard cursor/arrow keys to see next/previous photo.

I've made it possible to add multiple Genres to a movie instead of only one Genre. This way I won't have to deal with Genres named e.g. "Horror/Drama".

I've upgraded the site to .NET 9 Blazor and so far everything looks mighty fine. Let's hope it stays that way.
