**Finally, a new release!** We're sorry it has taken so long. It was mainly due to a large behind-the-scenes update with the Expo package and supporting the [new architecture](https://docs.expo.dev/guides/new-architecture/) blocking us.

Manually change any input value to fix it temporary. - Issues regarding subtitles in some cases ## New Contributors * @MarcoCoreDuo made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/984 * @stenlan made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1032 * @bowmande made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1000 * @asmithrsa made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1068 * @SuxAsLux made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1090 * @VXsz made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1058 * @IAmParadox27 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1118 * @jon4hz made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/1141 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/compare/v0.30.2...v0.47.1

This release includes stability improvements and new features. The upgrade to VLC4 introduced performance issues and bugs. As a result, we're reverting to VLC3, which unfortunately means PiP support will no longer be available for iOS users for now. ## New features include: - Sessions view for admins - Notification support for all kinds of events using the Streamyfin plugin for Jellyfin - Downgrade to VLC3 for stability - sadly removes PiP for now. - Mark/unmark your favorite media directly from listings as a quick action **What's Changed** * feat: add japanese translations by @tkymmm in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/552 * feat: Sessions view by @lostb1t in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/537 * feat: Add Chinese (Simplified) Translation by @vuhe in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/556 * fix: Improve Chinese (Traditional) Translation by @Marcio2536 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/557 * feat: focus search bar on second tab press by @fredrikburmester in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/558 * fix(511): fixed long named translations for the subtitle can break UI by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/564 * feat: Mark/unmark favorite quick action by @lostb1t in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/561 * fix: makes the icon adaptive for android by @Simon-Eklundh in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/569 * fix: Update nl.json by @Little709 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/565 * fix(https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/issues/566): add Turkish by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/583 * feat: Add session count to app badge by @lostb1t in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/575 * fix: update textContentType for username input to oneTimeCode by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/587 * feat: Added Ukrainian translation by @ozgreat in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/593 * feat: enhance favorites with empty cell && added translations by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/594 * fix: fixed app crash on next downloaded item && update biome schema v… by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/610 * feat: add Polish translation and update language options by @sbaiahmed1 in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/608 **New Contributors** * @tkymmm made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/552 * @vuhe made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/556 * @Little709 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/565 * @ozgreat made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/593 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/compare/v0.26.1...v0.27.0

## Another release! 🚀 This new release has many small improvements and brings back PiP! ### Picture-in-picture support for Android and IOS When we moved to a VLC based player, we lost picture in picture support. Thanks to us moving to libvlc 4 on IOS, we can now welcome PIP support back to our many features. ### Translations Improved Spanish and German translations and added translations for the following languages - Turkish - traditional Chinese - Dutch - Italian ### Default quality setting We have added a default quality setting. ### Bugfixes Chromecast now works again. The Jellyseer login has now been set to work with empty passwords. We've also changed the login for Jellyseer to be a one step process instead of the previous two step process. For android we've fixed a few bugs. First of all, the video player controls are now no longer invisible. Second of all, the long standing bug where half the homepage was black as though the screen was half as tall as it is has been fixed together with the keyboard popping up. ## New Contributors * @Marcio2536 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/522 * @Sonaryr made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/539 * @sbaiahmed1 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/538 * @DavideSirico made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/545 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/compare/v0.25.0...v0.26.1

## We're thrilled to introduce the latest updates to Streamyfin! 🤩 There's been a lot of code changes and a lot of dependency changes, so a clean install (aka remove the app first) is recommended **if you encounter any issues.** ### Custom Home Screen Finally, you can create and distribute a custom home screen to your users, granting you full control to design a unified and consistent layout on your server, including settings and views, with centralized configuration and streamlined management with the help of the Streamyfin plugin. ### Multi-language Support Translations are now available for German, Spanish, French, and Swedish, with more languages coming. Streamyfin will automatically detect the language based on your device’s settings, or you can manually adjust it through the settings menu. ### Server Discovery Automatically detects local Jellyfin servers, making it faster and easier to connect. ### Auto-hide Controls Media player controls will now automatically disappear after 5 seconds of inactivity. ### Improvements and Fixes A variety of updates and bug fixes have been made, including enhancements to downloads, screen rotation, Jellyseer integration, and centralized settings. ## New Contributors * @Ryan0204 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/383 * @topiga made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/397 * @whoopsi-daisy made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/417 * @RodoMa92 made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/451 * @maxwellward made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/443 * @tom-heidenreich made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/437 * @oxixes made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/457 * @Blacks-Army made their first contribution in https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/pull/477 **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/streamyfin/streamyfin/compare/v0.24.0...v0.25.0

However, please report any issues you have by opening an issue here on GitHub. **The release is available on Play Store (2 Dec) and soon on the App Store.** Please join our Discord for beta updates, feature requests, and more: [Join here](https://discord.gg/BuGG9ZNhaE) ## What's Changed * feat: native tabbar by @fredrikburmester in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/166 * feat: new vlc player by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/178 * fix: update visual playback when exiting video by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/181 * feat: vlc support for android by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/226 * fix: some edge cases with dropdown by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/234 * feat: added change to show actual device name rather than platform by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/235 ## Known problems - Some Android devices have issues with rotation in combination with Controls in the video player - Slow loading times for certain video codecs/formats **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/compare/v0.18.0...v0.21.0

## Highlights Here are some of the highlights this release. ### New logo! Thanks to Trailmix we got a new great looking icon. After a vote in the Discord this one won:  ### Live TV Initial support for streaming Live TV. No recordings, or starting recordings yet. ### Background downloads using the [_optimize server_ ](https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin-optimized-versions-server)(optional) While we don't want to introduce other programs in order to use this app fully, we have created a sidecar program called "optimized versions server". It's optional to use and we still support and continue to improve the normal way of downloading content in the app. This containerized program takes an HLS stream from Jellyfin and combines it into a single file (just like how downloads in the Streamyfin app works today). The benefit of a server is that the single combined file allows for background downloads in the app for both iOS and Android. Just click download, minimize the app, and wait for the notification.  ## What's Changed * feat: live-tv support by @fredrikburmester in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/156 * chore: refactor player logic (video, music, live-tv) by @fredrikburmester in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/165 * fix: removed resumable items from next up by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/163 * feat: background downloads by @fredrikburmester in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/140 * feat: set downloads button to purple if downloads exist by @Simon-Eklundh in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/142 * feat: added support for more libraries to use the recently added section by @Alexk2309 in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/151 * feat: go (manually and automatically) to the next episode when progress reaches end ## What's fixed - fix: posters clipping and not clickable on home and search page - fix: fade in/out player when starting video - fix: trying to delete a video would cause the video to play when releasing the finger (android) - fix: small design improvements - fix: music player now works again **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/compare/v0.16.0...v0.17.0

Another release! It's been too long... Every time I think i'm gonna do another release I get some new feature idea that I just **need** to implement. Anyway, hope you like it! In this release we have a new player design. We're deviating from the native player design, and implementing our own. This is because the native player does not support things like trickplay, customizable buttons, etc. We now have the possibility to implement more cool features in the future. It might not feel _as_ native, but for now it opens more doors than it closes. ## What's new * feat: removes the need for http/https in the url bar by @Simon-Eklundh in https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/pull/129 * feat: new full screen player * feat: skip intro * feat: skip credits * feat: trickplay images * feat: show cached progress in video progress slider * feat: genres for movies and episodes * feat: more from this actor on item page * feat: make item title copyable by long press * feat: better video orientation settings * feat: set video skip and rewind times in settings ## What's fixed * fix: change card and title sizes * fix: accidental press when scrolling through carousel * fix: play button color **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/compare/v0.12.0...v0.15.0

There's a branch with my progress if anyone wants to take a look. Right now joining a group and playing an item works, but seeking and sending updates to the server is not implemented yet. **Quick connect:** In the next release you can expect to be able to authorize logins with QC via the app. **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/fredrikburmester/streamyfin/compare/v0.10.2...v0.12.0
