v1.6.3 — app-grade: command palette, home, profile, ambient + fixes
Discord-Netflix 1.6.3 — a big one. The wrapper now feels like a real app: a command palette, a home surface, a notification center, a profile with achievements, ambient lighting, and a lot of Watch Together polish. Plus fixes for posters and profile pictures.
New
- Command palette (Ctrl+K). Search every action, jump to a recent title, or search Netflix — all from one spotlight. There's also a search button in the title bar.
- Home & Continue watching. Click the wordmark (or the dock) for a poster wall of what you've been watching, plus a Surprise me roulette when you can't decide.
- Left dock. A slim navigation rail that slides in from the left edge — Home, search, Watch Together, notifications, profile, stats, settings. Hidden while you watch.
- Notification center. A bell in the title bar keeps a history of updates and room activity.
- Profile & achievements. Your Netflix profile, total watch time, current streak, unlockable badges, and a 14-day activity graph — all private, on your device.
- Ambient / cinema glow. While watching, a soft glow drawn from the title's own poster colors lights the edges of the frame. Stays true to the Netflix look.
- Idle screen. Step away on a browse page and a cinematic clock + last-watched card fades in. Move the mouse to dismiss.
- Interface sounds. Subtle, modern audio cues (toggle them from the command palette).
Watch Together
- Named rooms + recent rooms. Give a room a name and rejoin recent ones in one tap.
- Typing indicator and inline join/leave/host messages in the chat.
- Reconnect resilience. If the connection drops, the room heals itself and tells you what's happening.
- Faster, tighter sync on join (quicker clock lock, instant host handoff).
Also
- One-click resume. Continue-watching cards and the command palette now jump straight back into a title you were watching, instead of running a search.
- Achievement pop-ups. Unlock a badge and you'll get a quiet celebration — never while you're mid-episode.
- Everything is optional. New "Experience" settings let you turn the ambient glow, interface sounds, and idle screen on or off. The idle screen ships off by default.
Fixes
- Presence keeps the right title. While watching (or when you paused), the Discord card would flip to a generic "Netflix" for a few seconds because Netflix hides the on-screen title. It now holds the real show and episode the whole time.
- Posters show in Watch Together. When you jumped straight into a title from a room, the presence card fell back to the app logo instead of the show's poster. It now finds the artwork even without browsing first.
- Profile pictures in rooms. Members showed a letter instead of their Netflix avatar while watching — now the real profile picture shows.
This installs over your current version and arrives on its own. Some of the new visuals are best seen in motion — if anything looks off, let us know.
