Lumen 1.20.7

Lumen 1.20.7

• Discord status: if the Discord app is open, your profile shows "Watching Lumen" with the title, the episode and a progress timer, or that you're browsing. It is on by default; Settings > Playback turns it off, and it is never shown on kids profiles.

Installed copies update by themselves. New install: download Lumen-Setup-1.20.7.exe (or the -arm64 one for Windows on ARM).

Lumen 1.20.6

• Nine new themes, 15 in total: Crimson, Gold, Aqua, Cyber, Midnight, Mocha, Slate, Ember and Lilac (Settings > Appearance).

Lumen 1.20.4

Lumen 1.20.4

• Subtitles: files labelled with the wrong language (for example Japanese subtitles uploaded as English, common for anime) are now spotted from their text. They move to the language they are really in, and the next real version of your language is used instead.

Lumen 1.20.3

Lumen 1.20.3

• Continue watching: hover a card and click the x to remove a show you started by mistake. Undo puts it back.
• Skip intro works for many more anime: shows numbered by IMDb seasons now find their intro and ending times from season 2 onwards too.
• The progress bar shows where the intro (yellow), recaps (blue) and ending (purple) are.
• Title pages fill in missing descriptions and genres, with proper anime genres from AniList instead of just Animation.

Lumen 1.20.2

Lumen 1.20.2

• Player: a redesigned subtitle menu. Size, color, background and on-screen text each have their own labeled row, colors are shown as swatches, and the timing control is smaller and tidier.
• Movies & Series: a cleaner genre menu. The chosen genre is tinted with your theme color, and Around the world has its own heading.

Lumen 1.20.1

• Smoother ambient light. The colored glow behind the page now carries on under the big picture at the top, with no hard edge where that picture ends.

Which file? Most PCs: Lumen-Setup-1.20.1.exe. ARM laptops: Lumen-Setup-1.20.1-arm64.exe.

Lumen 1.20.0

• Profile PINs. Lock any profile with its own 4-digit PIN in Manage profiles › edit a profile › Profile PIN. It's asked whenever someone picks that profile or wants to change it, and a small lock shows on its picture.
• Pick a quality. A title's sources now have quality chips above the list (4K, 1080p, 720p, HD, SD, with a count each), next to the language chips. Choose one to see only those sources.

Which file? Most PCs: Lumen-Setup-1.20.0.exe. ARM laptops: Lumen-Setup-1.20.0-arm64.exe.

Lumen 1.19.0

• Skip intros and endings. Skip buttons now also come from AniSkip for anime, and Lumen learns from you: skip an intro once and the next episodes offer it; leave during the credits once and later episodes do too. Settings › Playback lets you show a button, skip automatically or turn it off.

• Cleaner ambient light. The glow behind the glass takes a clear color from the artwork instead of a muddy grey, and Settings, Library and similar pages always use your theme's own glow.

• Smoother on low-power laptops. Laptops with power-saving chips (Ryzen U-series, Intel U-series, Celeron…) now get Light mode automatically, and pictures load in sizes that fit where they're shown, which makes every PC lighter.

• Lumen for Android now has its own releases: see the Android releases on this page.

Which file? Most PCs: Lumen-Setup-1.19.0.exe. ARM laptops: Lumen-Setup-1.19.0-arm64.exe.

Lumen 1.18.0

• Cast and trailers. Movie and series pages now show the cast with photos and the official trailers. Rest the mouse on the big picture at the top and the trailer plays right there.
• Pick your movie source. Play on a movie shows its sources on the page so you choose, instead of jumping straight into the player.
• Library progress, like MAL-Sync. Anime you watch show watched/total, a red badge when new episodes are out, a countdown to the next one and a progress bar. New sort: New episodes first.
• Calendars for series and movies. Movies and Series get a Calendar next to Browse, like Anime. Every calendar now opens on a Day view with big posters, with Week one click away.
• Better translations. French, Spanish, German and Portuguese now cover the menus, pages and library that were still in English.
