## Notable changes
|
|
|
|
This release comes with over 100 changes from 13 contributors. The complete list of changes, including their respective pull requests, can
|
|
be found on [GitHub](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-androidtv/releases/tag/v0.17.0). I've listed the most important/noticeable changes
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
### Navigation
|
|
|
|
It might seem like just one button, but it solves a significant issue. A new 'home' button in the top-right corner lets you return to the
|
|
Jellyfin home screen easily, instead of pressing the back button repeatedly. Additionally, the layout of the item details has been slightly
|
|
tweaked to fit more useful information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Playback
|
|
|
|
The current video player was improved by adding support for more audio codecs, including WAV, Vorbis and PCM. Additionally, timeouts for
|
|
player errors were increased to give transcode and remux tasks more time to start. This improves playback for media stored on network
|
|
drives and BDMV files that require unpacking.
|
|
|
|
Audio normalization support was added to automatically adjust volume levels for music playback. This feature prevents sudden volume changes
|
|
between songs. To activate this feature, you'll need to enable the LUFS scan for your music library.
|
|
|
|
### Screensaver
|
|
|
|
The screensaver now includes a feature to filter items based on their age rating. By default, only items with an age rating up to 13 will
|
|
be displayed, ensuring a family-friendly environment. Age rating options can be changed in the preferences under the customization tab.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the screensaver has been enhanced to display a logo of the movie or series being shown.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Other changes
|
|
|
|
Series and seasons now display their respective special features, which were previously available only for movies. Additionally, the search
|
|
function has been improved to include results for Live TV channels, playlists, collections, photo albums, and individual photos.
|
|
|
|
Invisible but noteworthy, a significant amount of work was invested in reworking the communication between the app and the server. This
|
|
has resulted in a faster and more reliable app, with improved performance and the groundwork laid for the development of exciting new
|
|
features. As a consequence of these changes, the app now requires Jellyfin 10.9 or newer and older versions are no longer supported.
