Together with all the visible changes we've made tons of fixes to the code. Notable are changes for Fire TV to direct play more often and a lot of crashes got fixed. But this doesn't mean the current code isn't being worked on anymore! We did fix some issues with the current video player code.
It will also give us the opportunity to add new features like SyncPlay. This rewrite should help with the crashes and unnecessary transcoding that happens sometimes. A project to rewrite the playback code behind it is already in the works. The new video player design is just the beginning. The new design is bigger so you can more easily see the information on a television. The video player was completely redesigned to remove a lot of clutter and make it easier to use. Maybe we should add a light theme? New video player design We're planning to expand this feature in the future with more themes and more variety between them. That changes today with the introduction of three themes: Muted Purple together with Dark (Default) and Classic Emerald are now available in the app to supports basic theming.

The web client supported theming since forever but the Android TV app did not. We're hoping to completely revamp this part of the app at some point, but that didn't stop us from making it slightly better now. The user interface when browsing inside libraries got some slight changes too. Some new settings got added to customize the app to your own taste. It allows you to more easily change settings. No need to scroll down to the bottom of the home screen anymore.īeneath this new toolbar is your media, like it always was, but the cards got a new look with the debatable colored backgrounds removed.

Users are automatically saved now with auto-login enabled by default. You can then proceed to add a user and start using the app.
The auto-discovery feature of the app now shows all servers instead of the first one, you can select one of those or manually enter your server address to connect. There is a new help section that links to our documentation to help new users get started with Jellyfin. We also didn't like this part of the app, and decided to completely revamp it! The rewritten sign-in screen looks more modern and is much easier to use.

It wasn't obvious how to enable the auto-login option and managing multiple servers or users was not an easy task. We got a lot of complaints about our authentication flow. But let's start with the part you probably came for: new features! New authentication flow I'll talk a bit about why it is this big and why it took so long later in the post.
