Plexamp v4.12.4

Got a good collection of fixes for you beautiful people! Unfortunately the Windows release is going to be a while, GitHub is forcing an upgrade to a newer Windows/Visual Studio on runners, with the usual pain points :sob:

Fixed

  • DSD files weren’t playing gaplessly with strict sample rate matching.
  • When creating smart playlist, clarify that we’re doing so.
  • In some cases, downloaded items could end up displaying as empty.
  • Downloading shared smart playlists with some filters could result in no tracks being downloaded.
  • When downloading smart playlists under 5 hours of duration, only an hour at most would be downloaded.
  • Android: Beware of negative values for recommended album art size.
  • iOS: In some cases, premium upsell wouldn’t show spinner forever.
  • CarPlay/Android Auto: Don’t reload screen when going offline/online.
  • Linux: Support for 24-bit audio output for “digi” HAT devices (thanks to @tgp-2)

Plexamp v4.13.1

It’s been a hot minute! But we’re back.

This is a new release for desktop (and headless!) to address a few issues. Lots of other stuff in the pipeline, but wanted to get this out for now because we know it’s been painful for Linux users, and we’re super sorry about that.

Fixed

  • Linux: The issue with the audio not working until outputs are toggled.
  • Linux: Lots of MPRIS issues.
  • Upgrade to Electron 41 (also improves Linux experience).
