New Features

Sync & connection recovery

• Connect Simkl without a personal Client ID to sync watch history and ratings alongside Trakt, with a reviewable first sync and on-demand checks.
• Create multiple user accounts with administrator-managed access, keeping each person's data and sessions separate.
• Use the Plekt Emby and Jellyfin plugins for media-server events, with setup guides for each plugin and the webhook alternative.
• Import Netflix viewing history from a CSV or personal-information ZIP, choose a profile, review matches and import selected watches with their original dates.
• Browse cast filmographies with Movies and TV Shows tabs and year and genre filters.
• Watch History offers a Days view, grouping watches by date, alongside the existing Cards view.
• Drop (with a bequbed animation) and restore titles from Up Next or their detail pages; filter dropped titles and see their count in Stats.
• Enable AniDB titles and descriptions for anime, review matches, and safely match titles with a single supported link.
• Subscribe to upcoming movie and TV releases using a private calendar feed; regenerate the URL to revoke the old one.
• Add TV season source selection, episode translation, unmatched episode handling, and translated Up Next warmup.

Bug Fixes

Up Next & watch-state

• Up Next and Recently Watched refresh across open dashboards and devices, and returning to the dashboard shows cached cards while fresh results load.
• A title that is playing live no longer also appears as its own part watched card in Now Playing or the Up Next rail

Sync & provider recovery

• Resume sync preserves newer stop positions, avoids repeated Plex resume updates and restores eligible Emby Continue Watching items.
• Jellyfin webhook events recognize dashed user IDs, and the higher webhook rate limit accommodates bursts.

Tweaks

Up Next & watch-state

• On phones, featured Up Next and Now Playing cards have larger posters, and Up Next actions use a compact toolbar.
• This update includes improve watch state, season mapping and presentation, tighten match flow and confirm Plex unwatches, restyle appearance, brand surfaces and the login page, fall back when cached artwork files are missing, and hide card art on media detail pages.
• Preserve completed Plex watch state across stale resume data and protect unwatch races.

Manual Watch review

• Review confirmed TV episode numbering conflicts in Manual Watch, with a count and dismiss action that leaves watch state unchanged.
• Re-check suspected Plex unwatches against live metadata and keep cached episode state aligned, preventing stale reports from reaching manual watch review.

Sync & connection recovery

• Add sidebar links to Discord and Reddit, with an option to hide project links.
• Setup guides explain the Plekt Emby and Jellyfin plugins and their webhook alternatives, and warn against enabling both.
• Media server cards in the setup wizard show their logos, and backup options are grouped into local and remote sections.

• Library pages show loading progress, retain the first page while refreshing and preserve distinct titles sharing artwork.
• Desktop navigation and library controls remain visible without empty action space.

• Playing sessions show a Now playing label, while paused sessions retain their Paused label.
• Settings shows plain connection statuses and keeps Help cards compact until expanded.
• First-run tracker imports can run in parallel and start an add-only outward sync with progress and held-item counts.
• Tautulli and Netflix imports are grouped under One Time Imports in Settings.
• Opening Settings no longer automatically requests Seerr capabilities.
• Webhook rate limits allow larger media-server event bursts.
• Installation steps remain readable on phones in both themes.

• Preserve Trakt-only plays during show replacement and fail closed on occupied targets.
• Split sync, history import, polling, and scheduling work into focused modules with retry and lease safeguards.
• Improve appearance controls, changelog navigation, Reddit release bundling, and README screenshots.
• Keep TV season-source choice and watch-impact confirmation beside search controls, with less blank space across phone, tablet, and desktop.

• Modern is the only look; the Classic style and its switch are removed.
• Card Art and Background Art checkboxes added to the Appearance menu (Background Art only on the Dashboard and details pages).

Start safely

1. Read the fresh-install and provider setup notes.
2. Create a backup before the first write-back.
3. Start with a small library or a limited provider scope.
4. Inspect Sync Activity after the first run and retry only the rows that need it.

Known limitations

• Provider APIs and rate limits can still make delivery delayed.
• Cross-provider matching can remain ambiguous for unusual titles, alternate cuts, or inconsistent episode metadata.
• The canonical database is local to the deployment and must be included in your backup plan.
