Cast to your TV Chromecast is here. Send anything from any of your servers to a Chromecast or Google TV, with full transport controls, subtitle and audio track selection, and a scrubber that keeps up. AirPlay handling has been rebuilt alongside it. Fix out-of-sync audio and subtitles New delay controls in the player. Nudge audio or subtitles in fine steps until they line up, per title. Section headings now open Tap "Recently added movies", "Because you watched", or any other heading to see everything in it instead of the first few. Same on Discover. Search your NAS WebDAV and SMB shares are now searchable. Bandit walks the share and finds files by name, so content on a NAS is no longer invisible to search. More than one account per server Switch between user profiles on a Jellyfin or Emby server without signing out and back in. Edit a source you already added Swipe a source in Settings to change its address, name or sign-in details, instead of deleting it and starting over. Fixes and improvements • Your whole library indexes in one pass. Large libraries no longer come up short and need a second attempt, and a sync that does fall short says so and retries instead of quietly looking complete. • "Remove from Continue Watching" no longer appears for titles that aren't in Continue Watching. • Marking something watched updates it everywhere on Home at once, instead of leaving other rows out of date. • Downloads interrupted by force-quitting the app now resume instead of sitting stuck. • Deleting a source now removes its downloads and viewing history with it. • Add-on catalogues that share a name are told apart ("Popular Movies" and "Popular Shows" rather than two rows both called "Popular"). • Playlist and guide downloads are size-limited and time out properly, so a bad address can't hang the app. • Artwork is properly sized in the new full-screen grids on iPad.
