2.10.0

Highlights

• Explore gains AniList, Simkl and Plex catalogs, alongside the existing Trakt, MyAnimeList and Seerr sources
• Six new languages — Turkish, Hungarian, Traditional Chinese, Azerbaijani, Kazakh and Uzbek — with every existing translation brought up to date with the current English text
• Playback speed now goes up to 8x, up from 3x
• Transcoded Plex video behaves like a local file: seeking no longer reloads the stream, the timeline scrubs as you drag, and switching subtitles is instant
• Most single-line Apple TV text fields now use the native tvOS keyboard instead of the in-app overlay keyboard

New features

• Playback speeds up to 8x (#1545)
• Explore: AniList, Simkl and Plex catalogs, each appearing once the matching account is connected
• Jellyfin: backdrops on detail, Explore and TV spotlight screens cycle through all the artwork on the server
• Detail: the director is listed alongside studio and rating
• Detail: episode cards show the file size
• TV: an Appearance setting shows spotlight artwork in the top-right corner instead of filling the screen, off by default (#1628)
• Downloads: removing a synced playlist or collection can also delete the downloads it made, keeping anything another sync or profile still uses (#1656)
• Downloads: Android warns on the Downloads screen when battery or notification settings would stop downloads in the background, with a button straight to the right system screen
• Six new languages: Turkish, Hungarian, Traditional Chinese, Azerbaijani, Kazakh and Uzbek
• Traditional Chinese shows dates and durations in Traditional characters, Plex sends its text back in Traditional Chinese, and a device set to Traditional Chinese picks it automatically

Playback

• Seeking in a transcoded Plex video no longer reloads the stream from the server, and dragging the timeline moves the video as you drag
• Changing subtitles on a transcoded Plex video is an instant local switch instead of a new transcode
• Subtitles keep showing on a transcoded video when you change playback speed (#1622)
• Your subtitle choice carries across episode changes (#1635)
• A track you pick by hand is no longer switched back to the automatic choice moments later
• Playback no longer hangs on the loading spinner when a subtitle file will not load — it starts without subtitles and tells you (#1583)
• Next and previous episode still work on Plex when the server does not return a play queue
• When the next episode cannot be loaded, the player retries and reports it instead of just closing
• Skipping forward at the live edge no longer restarts a live TV stream

• Marking a music video as unwatched sticks instead of flipping back to watched (#1610)
• A server that redirects to HTTPS or to a sub-path on the same address is saved with that address, and a redirect to a different host now asks you to enter the final address
• Signing in works on devices whose name the server would otherwise reject, and when the app cannot read its own version number
• Server addresses that are temporarily unreachable are kept when you save a connection instead of being dropped

Android

• Servers behind a certificate authority you installed on the device now connect
• Dolby Vision video keeps playing correctly after you seek
• A video that was already playing keeps going in the same player when the device's video decoder fails, instead of switching to the backup player (#1540)

• Pressing play while another app is using the sound no longer fails — playback starts once that app is done
• Subtitles that stayed invisible on some videos now show up (#1681)

Apple TV

• Most single-line text fields use the native tvOS keyboard instead of the in-app overlay keyboard; multi-line fields and a few settings fields keep the overlay

Windows

• Taps and drags over the video reach the app instead of being swallowed
• Display refresh rate and HDR are restored after playback even when the first attempt fails

TV interface

• Selecting an episode in a shelf on a detail page starts playback (#1608)
• The home screen starts on Continue Watching even when that row loads after the screen appears, and stays where you moved it if you already navigated (#1602)
• The spotlight picks up updated details when a shelf reloads
• Holding Select on the on-screen keyboard or PIN pad types one character instead of repeating
• Moving between cards and shelves is smoother
• Long Live TV guides scroll more smoothly
• The Live TV guide no longer flashes the full channel lineup and moves your cursor while favorites refresh

Downloads

• Running out of space stops downloads with a "storage full" message and marks every stopped download as failed, not just the one that hit the limit — and the app still opens afterwards
• Completed downloads no longer sit at "downloading 0%" after a reconnect
• Removing a synced playlist or collection no longer deletes episodes that a show or season sync still covers

Libraries and browsing

• Switching libraries or tabs quickly no longer lets the previous library's results or focus land in the new one
• Filters that fail to load show an error you can retry instead of an empty list
• A playlist reorder or removal that fails puts the list back the way it was
• The watchlist button on an Explore item can be pressed straight away instead of being greyed out while the app checks your watchlist

Music

• The player's "Playing from" line follows the album of the track that is playing, and shows its year (#1600)

Artwork

• Clear logos keep their aspect ratio instead of being stretched
• The detail page backdrop is no longer cropped on wide windows (#1588)
• Cast photos are sharp instead of blurry (#1591)

Settings and navigation

• Settings rows use the same compact height and text size as lists everywhere else in the app
• "Clear Cache" is now "Clear Image Cache" and says it only clears artwork and thumbnails
• On phones, closing Manage Libraries no longer closes Settings with it
• Back closes an open sheet on phones and tablets instead of leaving it stuck open
• Screen readers no longer read the screen behind an open sheet
• Settings you export after restarting the app keep your tracker library filters, so restoring them no longer scrobbles libraries you had excluded

• On desktop, the second Back press on the home screen closes Plezy as the prompt says (#1582)
