Plexamp Desktop v4.50.7
A big pass over downloads, and a lot of artwork work.
Downloads
- Downloads that stalled part-way now finish, and keep going when you leave the app instead of freezing until you come back.
- The Downloads count now means music you are still waiting on. Artwork and waveforms finishing in the background no longer read as missing songs.
- Refreshing your downloads is faster, and no longer re-fetches artwork and album details it already has.
- A downloaded smart playlist keeps its tracks through interrupted refreshes, and drops only the ones that genuinely stop matching.
- Downloading a single track, or any selection of tracks, works instead of sticking on “Preparing”, and a download that cannot start now says why.
- Downloads finish one item at a time, so an album’s artwork arrives with its music rather than after everything else you queued.
Artwork
- Scrolling quickly through a grid no longer chases artwork for rows you have already passed, so the covers you are looking at arrive sooner.
- Artwork that fails to load retries by itself and repairs when your connection returns, and a cover that failed once no longer stays grey.
Windows
- Album art reaches the system now-playing panel and the apps that read it, and the taskbar icon is drawn from full-resolution artwork.
- Remote control and casting work with a VPN connected.
- Windows on ARM no longer reports that it cannot create a log file at every launch.
Also
- An error no longer replaces Plexamp with a page of raw error text.
- Opening an album whose details do not load no longer crashes the app.
The latest iOS and Android builds are still TestFlight and the open beta for now, and the Play one is still going through review, so it is not quite live yet.
