2026.7.29

TestFlight build 19 — 2026-07-29

What to Test:
Series detail: the hero-to-episodes transition has been rebuilt.

Please try, on a show with several seasons:
• Press Down from Play into the episodes, and Up again from a season chip.
Both directions should be one fluid motion, with the hero, logo, season bar
and episode row all moving together.
• Move up and down quickly and repeatedly. The page should never end up in a
half-finished state, and the season chips, Cast and Related should never
become invisible.
• Move left and right along the episode row, then up to the seasons. The page
itself should stay put.
• Open a show directly on an episode (from Continue Watching or search) — it
should arrive already showing the episode row.
• Check Cast and Related below the episodes, including on a show that has
neither.

Also fixed: the first season chip and the focused Play button are no longer
clipped on their left edge, and the episode rail's loading label is now
translated.

2026.7.28

TestFlight build 18 — 2026-07-28

What to Test:
Related titles, cast for media shares, and a batch of metadata fixes.

WHAT'S NEW

• Related — a new rail above the cast on every movie and series page,
listing other things in your library connected to what you're looking
at. Anime pages lead with actual sequels and side stories rather than
lookalikes. Everything listed is something you own and can play.

• Media shares now have cast. A share is just files, so Plozz resolves
everything else about a title externally — cast was simply missing
from that list, which is why a show opened from a share had none while
the same show on Plex or Jellyfin had a full one.

• When you have the same title on both a media server and a file share,
the server's copy now fronts the card, since it carries the curated
record. Playback still prefers whichever copy is closest, so a local
share is still played from over a remote server.

• iPhone and iPad caught up with the TV: air-schedule badges, upcoming
episodes in the rail, and the new Related row.

WHAT TO TEST

1. Open a few movies and series and scroll to just above the cast. The
   Related row should fill in shortly after the page opens and hold its
   space while it does — the cast shouldn't jump down when it lands.
   Everything in it should open a real page.

2. Anime especially: a show with a sequel should list it first.

3. If you use a media share, open something from it and check the cast
   row is there. If you have the same show on a server too, the page
   should show the server's version.

4. A currently-airing series should read something like "New episode
   every Wednesday" in the hero, and its episode rail should continue
   past what you own into episodes that haven't aired. Those shouldn't
   be tappable.

5. On iPhone/iPad, the same four things.

KNOWN

Related is empty for a title no provider covers, or when you own nothing
related to it — the row disappears rather than showing placeholders.

Changes:

• Initial tagged release.

2026.7.18

TestFlight build 16 — 2026-07-18

What to Test:
What's new:

Home hero: smoother page-to-page animation, tidier spacing, and a lighter left-edge scrim. Play/Resume buttons now name the episode they'll play (e.g. "Play S21, E8", or a resume bar showing "S5, E12 - 43m"). Logos fade in instead of popping.

Playback: Dolby Vision / direct-file HDR now carries correctly across back-to-back episodes, with display sync fixed. Fixed seeking-during-load snapping back to the start (notably DV over SMB). Cleaner startup - the spinner holds until the picture is really on screen, loading messages are paced better, and network files start faster. Fixed an end-of-file glitch when seeking near the end of a network file.

Player controls: the control bar now auto-hides when idle (stays up while a menu is open).

Settings: new Home Performance Overlay toggle under Help & Diagnostics. Added NFO / local sidecar metadata support.

Please test: episode playback and HDR across consecutive episodes, seeking over network shares and on Dolby Vision, control-bar auto-hide, and the Home hero.

• UIKit hero: lower content column 80pt; +20pt buttons-to-pagination gap
• Hero pills: flat-capsule border 2px @ 0.10 opacity
• Hero pills: raise flat-capsule border opacity 0.08 -> 0.13

2026.7.15

2026.7.12

TestFlight build 12 — 2026-07-12

What to Test:
Season requests: Search for a partly owned show, open Request More, and request one season or all missing seasons. Verify pending, processing, failed, retry, and completed states, including profile-specific Seerr users.

Series browsing: Open long-running shows from series, season, and episode cards. The current season should already be visible, focus should not cause a second scroll, and episode/season navigation should stay centered and stable.

Onboarding: Test the redesigned animated setup flow for Plex and Jellyfin, including Plex QR/manual sign-in, Jellyfin Quick Connect, Back navigation, focus movement, and library selection.

SMB and local shares: Test scanning mixed movie/TV folders, version grouping, season deduplication, watch state, sidecar subtitles, search, sorting, and browsing responsiveness.

Playback: Test Dolby Vision/HDR playback and episode handoffs, Up Next, subtitle search/download/hot-load, and the redesigned Playback Info display.

Appearance and profiles: Test display sizes, card/navigation styles, Pure Black, watched indicators, and per-profile server/library toggles. Detail-page Cast should remain a consistent size at every display density.
