Release 2.13.0 · edde746/plezy

New features

Emby joins Plex and Jellyfin as a first-class backend: same onboarding, browsing, search, watch state and downloads
TrueHD audio is packed into a MAT/IEC 61937 carrier and bitstreams to the receiver
Android Automotive: the app reads the vehicle's driver-distraction state, scales the whole interface (adjustable in Appearance), keeps music playing while parked but silences it while driving, and never starts video in a moving car
Every tracker sign-in dialog (Trakt, Simkl, MDBList, MAL, AniList) shows a QR code and a copyable link, and fits on TV screens
MDBList syncs watched history, scrobbles and ratings
Linux renders video on a native Wayland plane, which carries HDR (PQ/HLG on BT.2020) instead of the 8-bit sRGB texture path
Android TV refreshes the Watch Next row in the background without the app open
tvOS Top Shelf fetches Continue Watching live and shows poster art
The player and TV home show a clock in the system's 12/24-hour format
Library context menus gain a watchlist toggle
Appearance gains a toggle to hide the Explore tab
Text subtitles can be anchored to the bottom of the screen, in the black bars under widescreen video
Android downloads can follow the app onto adoptable storage
Playback Buffer offers Auto, Large and Extra Large read-ahead tiers instead of a fixed 50 seconds

Plex transcodes open at the resume position instead of buffering forever
On transcodes, subtitles are delivered by the server again: Plex burns them in, Jellyfin burns bitmaps or streams text files, and the open guard no longer drops them
A server that keeps refusing a stream at open now shows an actionable dialog instead of retrying silently
A stalled ExoPlayer session recovers, handing off to mpv at the position reached, instead of spinning on a frozen frame
TrueHD leaves the carrier and decodes when playback speed is not 1x, or when a stream contradicts its container
Every AudioTrack release is reported, so a failed release can recover instead of pinning playback in buffering
A keyboard Enter no longer switches the app into focus navigation
Skips count from where a jump actually landed, not from a stale target
The remote stays on the player surface when the window regains focus
Escape only exits fullscreen the player itself entered
Linux stops scheduling a second audio recovery after resume, removing a double stutter
Watch Together ignores clock replies from anyone but the host, and the playback anchor holds while the host reloads
Marking something watched clears its resume position and its queued progress
A refreshed Discover row overrides a stale local watch patch instead of losing to it

Shuffle now shuffles the head of the queue too, not just the tail
A gaplessly advanced track reports its own timeline, so Plex no longer records a phantom play and Last.fm scrobble

Fire TV Stick 4K stops tunneling 24p content, ending the judder; Audio Passthrough moves from the player sheet to Settings > Video Playback
Single-line and multiline text entry uses the native Android IME again
tvOS: Siri Remote swipes scale to the focused item, and one flick can no longer move focus two steps
Plex validates a failover candidate with the server itself before switching endpoints
Capped Plex transcodes keep compatible audio copied through instead of degrading it
The Plex sign-in dialog fits a QR code on a car screen

Sheets size to their content instead of filling 75% of the window
Delete-from-server dialogs name the exact item and warn when sibling episodes or file parts go with it
A Plex Home user reads as "user via account" in one translated chip
The profile picker keeps its highlight while its list sorts
Shorter navigation labels on phones, and all 21 locales are complete
The platform launch screen stays behind the loading frame on TV

Preference-store writes fall back to an in-place rewrite when another reader blocks the atomic rename
