Plembfin v1.2.0

What changed in this release

This release makes recommendations more personal, keeps Up Next and watch-state sync reliable across providers, improves manual review and recovery workflows, adds safe Tautulli history import, and makes the whole app noticeably faster.

New Features

Discover & recommendations

• Personalize recommendations from recent watch history.

Sync & connection recovery

• Complete startup, media detail, Up Next, website, and release refinements.
• Improve application speed across the app.
• Add clearer progress and removal feedback for background sync actions.
• Add Help after two failed provider retries and publish Jellyfin connection troubleshooting guidance.

Bug Fixes

Up Next & watch-state

• Keep repeated watch actions responsive and visible, including animated Up Next requests with failure-safe labels.
• Keep Up Next stable while watch state syncs
• Keep stale watched or unwatched cards out of Up Next until an authoritative refresh confirms their removal.
• Animate matching Up Next cards as Saving while watch and unwatch actions sync.
• Keep removed or unwatched TV shows out of Up Next, including stale provider and fallback entries.

Tautulli imports

• Give Tautulli backup and import a clear preview, backup, import, and syncing flow with progress feedback.

• Clarify Tautulli backup and import progress
• Use Plembfin's in-app confirmation for the multiline backup and import summary.
• Show Importing while the backup and import request runs and keep the action disabled.
• Confirm completion and that Plembfin is syncing imported watches to connected media servers.

Manual Watch & watch actions

• Use a generic Dismiss & mark unwatched action, send the unwatched correction to all configured media apps, and keep the dismissed row hidden while stale refreshes settle.
• Refresh open media details immediately after removing one watch date while preserving surviving watches.
• Match pending actions by show identity and episode coordinates so rematches do not affect the wrong title.
• Preserve selected TVDB identity in watch history and repair same-coordinate title-only episodes during Fix Match.

Sync & provider recovery

Tweaks

Up Next & watch-state

• Keep media changes visible while sync is in progress.

• Keep Up Next aligned with media-page watch state, episode release dates, and TV-show actions.
• Improve provider-aware watch-state synchronization and recovery safeguards.
• Up Next now checks every previously watched show, so new episodes are no longer missed because of a recency cap.
• Keep the Up Next rail on the first released unwatched episode instead of jumping to a later season.
• Improve dismissed Up Next interactions and watch-date actions.

Manual Watch review

• Make Manual Watch review decisions clearer, confirmed, merged by episode, and removed from the working list without layout jumps
• Align review counts with the actionable episodes shown and stop re-announcing flags already resolved by Plembfin
• Refresh Up Next immediately after dashboard unwatch actions and keep valid manual watch reviews visible when older watch history exists.
• Require confirmation before applying individual or show-level watch and unwatched decisions from Manual Watch review.
• Show which connected app reported a watch and where dismissing the review will mark it unwatched.
• Organize Manual Watch review actions by show, season, and episode with concise provider-specific labels.
• Show newest review seasons first in boxed panels beneath the poster, preview only a few latest-season episodes, merge duplicate provider records into one row with source pills, remove the redundant show-level count summary, and remove accepted decisions optimistically while sync continues.

Discover & recommendations

• Keep recommendation exclusions saved across refreshes and browsers.
• Hide watched titles and improve poster recovery across Discover.
• Improve card metadata hierarchy, summary readability, and release-date presentation across personal lists.
