August 27 2.4.19
This one took us a while to bring together. Many many positive changes!
New:
- Channels. PS4 only for now. The PS3 becomes unstable when playing channel videos. We’re testing this further.
- Filtering and Sorting.
- Plex Companion.
- Trailers and Extras.
- Previous and Next item navigation in pre-play screens.
- Continuous play for play from season, play from show, play in a channel.
- Background style preference, choose Blurred or Dim.
- Video playback seeking controls change to lightweight Plex Home Theater style OSD. While in video playback with a hidden OSD the following buttons perform:
- Play: show the OSD
- Pause, seek, fast forward, rewind: perform their action and show he full OSD
- Left: seek back 10s and show a light OSD
- Right: seek forward 30s and show a light OSD
- Up: seek forward 10minutes and show a light OSD
- Down: seek backward 10 minutes and show a light OSD
- Although it took a bit of habit breaking to get used to the lightweight controls we hope you’ll like it as much as we do.
- Support for multi-version movies.
Fixes:
- Several fixes in and around music playback.
- Support for disabling Direct Play returned.
- Scrolling list of libraries fixes issues for users with excessive number of libraries.
- Better network handling; CORs requests are simple and no longer require a preflight request. This helps Opera based devices the most.
- Better error handling when loading server dashboards.
- Better PIN sign in view error handling and error code presentation.
- Improve messaging for possible server connectivity errors due to a server requiring secure connections.
- Esc to exit works when the top bar drop downs are focused.
- Many more…
