v0.6.0
Downloads for offline playback, and a decoding choice for demanding
videos.
New
- Downloads for offline playback: Menu → Download on a Plex or
Jellyfin video (or Download season on a season) saves the original
file, with the server's subtitle files, in~/Videos/Downloaded
(download_folderinconfig.ini, e.g. a folder on the microSD card).
It shows up as a source on the start screen and plays like any local
video, without the server. Menu → Downloads shows progress; downloads
can be stopped, resumed (also after closing the app) and cancelled.
Only where the server's owner allows downloads. - Delete from this device… in the library menu removes a local video
(and its subtitle files) after asking. Only files on the Deck, the
microSD card or a USB drive: never anything on Plex, Jellyfin or a
network share. - Decoding in the Video menu switches the current video between
hardware and software decoding, and remembers the choice for that
video. On a Steam Deck, 4K AV1 videos can stutter with the hardware
decoder; software decoding plays them smoother but uses about twice the
power. When a video keeps dropping frames with hardware decoding, the
player suggests trying it.
Fixed
- Jellyfin servers listed in
config.iniafter one that doesn't answer
are found again. - With
show_hidden = yes, the library no longer lists.and... - Speed in the playback menu shows 1.25× and 1.75× correctly.
- Playback info labelled all dropped frames as "decoder" drops; the
Dropped row now shows what mpv actually counts. - Starting a local video no longer reads part of the file for online
subtitles when none were ever downloaded.
Changed
- B during playback first closes a message (like "Resumed at …") or
the Skip intro / Skip credits prompt, instead of stopping the video. - The app can now write to the library folders (
~/Videos,
~/Downloads, removable drives), which downloads and deleting need. It
still can't see the rest of your home folder.
