Video info in the library, a Video menu with HDR settings, and Plex
videos in Recently played.

New

  • Video info in the library: select a video and press View (or
    Menu → Video info) to see its file name and folder, size, duration,
    bitrate, video codec, resolution, frame rate, bit depth, HDR type
    (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG), mastering brightness, and the audio
    and subtitle tracks. Works for local files and Plex videos (for Plex,
    the path is the file's location on the server).

  • Plex videos in Recently played on the start screen, next to
    local ones. Opening one checks the server for the latest position, and
    an episode continues with the rest of its season.

  • Remove from Continue watching (Plex) in the library menu: hides a
    video from Continue watching, also in other Plex apps, without
    changing its progress. Useful for "next up" episodes of shows you
    stopped watching.

  • Video menu (Menu → Video): Picture and Match refresh rate
    moved here, next to new HDR settings for HDR screens (Deck OLED, HDR
    TVs). HDR looks are a matter of taste, so you can now choose:

    • HDR: on, or off to show HDR videos in SDR even on an HDR screen.
    • HDR mapping (HDR videos): Display (the screen fits the picture
      to its brightness, as before), Display, per scene (the screen also
      gets Dolby Vision / HDR10+ scene-by-scene information), or App (the
      player does it, for a chosen peak brightness).
    • SDR to HDR (SDR videos): shows normal videos in HDR, with
      highlights up to 300–1000 nits.

    The defaults are the same as in v0.4.0. Menu changes last until you
    close the app; to keep a choice, set hdr, hdr_mapping, hdr_peak
    or sdr_to_hdr in config.ini. On a screen that isn't in HDR mode,
    SDR to HDR and App switch themselves off.

Fixed

  • Picture → Crop black bars: when no bars were found, pressing right
    went back to Crop black bars again and never reached Fill and
    Stretch. The setting now shows "No black bars found" and moves on.
