Observio 20.2

A feature release. This one adds profiles, a big push on discovery and metadata (trailers, trending, ratings), Trakt sync improvements, and cross‑device resume on iPhone — plus two fixes for issues found in 20.1.

Profiles

  • User profiles. Add separate profiles, each with its own watchlist, watch progress, and hidden channels/groups, while your playlists, settings, and favorites stay shared. Optionally lock a profile with a 4‑digit PIN.

Discovery & metadata

  • Trailers now match the title's language. A foreign‑language movie or series plays its own‑language trailer instead of always defaulting to the English one.
  • "Trending This Week" — a new discovery row that surfaces what's trending and resolves it into titles you can actually play from your own catalog.
  • Featured carousel on Home (iPhone) highlighting your recent picks.
  • Trailer button and TMDB ratings on the iPhone movie/series detail pages.

Trakt

  • Two‑way sync. Adding or removing a title from your watchlist now pushes to Trakt, and your Trakt watched history imports back into Observio to mark items watched.

Sync & remote

  • Cross‑device resume on iPhone. Watch progress syncs over iCloud, so where you stopped on one iPhone/iPad carries to another — with a proper newest‑wins merge, and clearing an item now clears it everywhere instead of coming back.
  • QR pairing for the iPhone remote — scan the code shown on the Mac to pair instantly.

Playback

  • Load an external subtitle file on macOS (.srt/.ass) directly from the player, matching iPhone.
  • Audio passthrough (experimental) — optionally bitstream AC3/E‑AC3/DTS/TrueHD to an AV receiver instead of decoding. Off by default; only enable it with gear that decodes those formats.

Program guide (EPG)

  • SQLite guide store (experimental). An optional on‑disk guide database so very large EPG files (100 MB+) stay light on memory. Off by default — enable it under EPG settings if you want to try it.

Fixes

  • Per‑episode resume for Plex series. Every episode of a season was sharing a single resume time; each episode now tracks its own position.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Universal build (Apple Silicon + Intel).
