NEW: Windows and server builds, many features are NOT working so test with caution. macOS is the most stable, ffmpeg is not yet bundled with Windows, Linux or Server so thumbnails won't work, this is purely for testing. Pairing and sync work pretty well though. I will ship alpha builds more frequently now all versions are building reliably in CI.
