v2.5.3

📦 [v2.5.3] – 2026-06-10

🩹 Stable release v2.5.3

A reliability fix for the release list.

🐛 Fixed

• Release list could show only "Custom WGT File" until the app was restarted. If the startup load was interrupted (e.g. by the background update check), the list was left empty and never recovered. It now reloads automatically — after startup and whenever the window regains focus — so a restart is no longer needed (#385)

✨ Also included from v2.5.2

• 🎨 Redesigned App Catalog window (the ? next to Version) — modernised to match the rest of the app: new header, themed cards, softer tables, nicer preview panel, full dark-mode support (#382)
• 🌍 Fully localized — catalog titles, section/column headers and empty-state are now translatable (English + Dutch; others fall back to English) (#382)
• 🔤 Sorted catalog — Jellyfin builds and community apps listed A–Z / 0–9, matching the release dropdown (#383)

⚙️ Also included from v2.5.1

• Settings overhaul for multiple apps — the settings view now supports per-app configuration
• Settings survive app updates — moved to the per-user OS data dir (%APPDATA%\Apps2Samsung / ~/.config/Apps2Samsung) with a one-time migration of existing settings.json
• Preserve m3u8 URLs + release sorting fixes

💡 Tip

Setting a GitHub token in Settings raises the API limit from 60 to 5000 requests/hour, which makes slow/again-empty loads far less likely.

⬆️ Updating

• From v2.3.2+: auto-update works

What's Changed

🔀 Other changes

• ⚙️ Settings overhaul for multiple apps — the settings view now supports per-app configuration (SettingsWindowViewModel)

v2.5.1-beta

📦 [v2.5.1-beta] – 2026-06-09

What's Changed

✨ New in v2.5.1-beta

• 📡 TVApp channel setup — set your channel names and m3u8 links right in the app, and they're written straight into TVApp before it's installed. No more shipping with "add your m3u8 link here" placeholders (#379)
• 🔀 Arrange your channel order — reorder channels with the ▲/▼ buttons; the order you set is the order you'll cycle through on the TV (CH_UP/CH_DOWN), no more being stuck with add-order
• 🔠 Sorted app list — the install list now shows every app in alphabetical order (A-Z, 0-9) instead of fetch order, so Jellyfin, Moonfin, Litefin, TVApp and all Tizen Community apps are easy to find ("Custom WGT file" stays pinned at the bottom)
• 🗂️ Reorganised Settings — Settings now opens on a generic Application section (language, certificate, network, install options), with each app's own settings split out into its own section. Pick Application, Jellyfin or TVApp from the list on the left
• 🌍 Live language switching everywhere — the section list, panels and field labels all re-translate instantly when you change language, no reopening the window

🔩 Under the hood

• Per-app settings are now pluggable — an IAppSettingsProvider contract means adding settings for the next app is just one more section, no rework of the existing ones
• Per-app package patching — install-time package editing is no longer Jellyfin-only; an IPackagePatcher factory picks the right patcher per app, so Jellyfin and TVApp each patch their own package independently (Jellyfin behaviour is unchanged)

v2.5.0

🎉 Jellyfin2Samsung is now Apps2Samsung — and the catalog is front and center

Two releases in one day: v2.4.0 brought the rebrand, v2.5.0 makes the community catalog a first-class citizen. If you're updating from v2.3.x, here's everything that's new.

✨ New in v2.5.0

• 🧩 Community apps as individual entries — Moonlight, FCast, Twitch, Doom, Stremio, VLC, Flixor and the rest of the community catalog now appear directly in the Release dropdown, instead of hiding behind a single "Tizen Community" entry (#375)
• 🎚️ "Show all Jellyfin versions" setting — the dropdown shows just the latest Jellyfin build by default; flip the new toggle in Settings to get the full 5-version history back (#375)
• 🩹 Fixed: empty Release dropdown — a malformed catalog manifest could leave you with only "Custom WGT File" (#370, fixes #369). The catalog is now validated on every change and can even repair itself (#371)

🏷️ The rebrand (v2.4.0)

• Everything is named Apps2Samsung now — executable (Apps2Samsung.exe), window title, macOS bundle, Linux package and the release artifacts (#359, #361, #367)
• Same tool, bigger mission: install any app on your Samsung TV, projector or smart monitor — 📖 read the rebrand FAQ
• Linux: the .deb is now apps2samsung and cleanly replaces the old jellyfin2samsung package on upgrade
• Smarter self-updater — handles the executable rename automatically and cleans up old binaries after updating (#360)

🔩 Under the hood

• Release notes are now generated from pull requests (#372) and release tags point at the exact built commit (#373)
• The website moved to apps2samsung.madebypatrick.nl and matches the app's look (#374)
• Homebrew and winget packages update automatically from this release onward

⬆️ Updating

• From v2.3.2 or v2.4.0: auto-update just works — new binaries installed, old ones cleaned up, app relaunches
• From v2.3.1.1 or older: the updater may say "Could not find application files". Nothing is broken — download this version once manually, install over the old one, and auto-updates work again (details)
