NEW:

  • Show initials for cast items without an image.

FIXED:

  • Fixed an issue causing missing textures on certain devices.
  • Fixed subtitles sometimes disappearing briefly while playing.
  • Fixed subtitles not displaying for other parts of multi-part media.
  • Sometimes with Live TV playback, metadata and player progress was not showing.
  • Fixed incorrect filters showing for albums in the library screen.
  • Fixed progress bars extending off the edge of recorded TV items.
  • Fixed wrong style for Movies & TV Continue Watching.
  • Default screensaver type setting to plex logo.
  • Fixed regression crash when editing subtitle offset.
  • Live TV guide was not showing up for managed users.
  • Use HLS for transcodes and remuxes for Tizen 5.5 devices.
    • Tizen 5.5 does not want to work with DASH very well. I’ve reached out to Samsung to find the cause of this problem, but for now, using HLS seems to resolve most of the issues.
