Pladio — Release Notes 1.4.2.2604232235 Summary - Siri Shortcuts and widget buttons now work even when Pladio is not running in the foreground. - Widget and Shortcut playback actions no longer pull the app to the front on iPhone, iPad, Mac or CarPlay. - Apple Music song matching is significantly more accurate, with fewer wrong covers and artist mix-ups. - Updated radio station database with the latest station data. - On macOS, the main window now reliably returns when reopened and follows you to your current Space. New Features - Background-capable Shortcuts: "Play Station", "Play Favorite Station", "Resume Pladio", "Stop Pladio", "Toggle Pladio Playback", "Set Sleep Timer" and "Cancel Sleep Timer" can now start or change playback without bringing Pladio to the foreground. - Instant-answer Shortcuts: "Get Favorite Stations", "What's Playing on Pladio" and "Toggle Favorite" respond immediately without having to launch the app first. - Widget buttons for play/pause, mute and "Play Station" now wake Pladio silently in the background — your current app stays on screen, which is especially useful in CarPlay. - Smarter Apple Music matching: artist tags like "(CH)" from DAB feeds no longer confuse the search, and a new similarity check prevents unrelated songs, covers or remasters from being shown as the current track. - macOS: when Pladio is launched from a widget or Shortcut, it stays quietly in the menu bar instead of opening its main window. - macOS Mini Player: the "Play" button now resumes your most recently played station even after an overnight system restart, when no current station is loaded yet. Fixes - Fixed Siri Shortcuts that previously required the app to be open before they would respond. - Fixed widget and CarPlay taps occasionally yanking the iPhone to the foreground. - Fixed Apple Music metadata showing the wrong song, artist or artwork for short or ambiguous track titles. - Fixed the macOS main window sometimes not appearing after being reopened from the menu bar, only showing up in the Dock. - Fixed the macOS window opening on the wrong Space — it now follows you to the Space you are currently on. - Fixed the Settings window sometimes not opening reliably when triggered from the menu bar. - Fixed the macOS menu-bar icon becoming unresponsive or showing the popover in the screen centre after waking from display sleep. Refactorings - Updated radio station database to the 2026-04-23 release with current station information.

Pladio - Release Notes 1.3.2.2603042122 Summary - Introducing V11 station identification system with permanent, random station IDs for future-proof favorites - New macOS Menu Bar MiniPlayer with playback controls and station quick access - Native AirPlay button for macOS with route detection and state indication - CarPlay architecture refactored with improved Now Playing navigation - Some translations fixed - Radio station database updated Remarks This release introduces a new station identification system that improves how Pladio handles your favorites and recent stations. Why the change? Previously, station IDs were generated deterministically from stream URLs and metadata. While this worked well, it meant that any change to a station's technical details (URL, codec, bitrate) would create a new ID — potentially "losing" your favorite. With V11, each station now has a permanent, random identifier that never changes, regardless of how the station's stream details evolve. This makes your favorites rock-solid and future-proof. What happens to my favorites? Pladio automatically migrates your existing favorites and recent stations to the new system on first launch. The migration runs silently in the background — you shouldn't notice anything different. In rare cases where a station can no longer be matched (e.g., it was removed from the database), Pladio rescues it as a "My Station" entry so you don't lose it. These rescued stations appear in the "My" tab with a small migration badge. Cross-device sync: If you have older devices still running V10, don't worry — Pladio checks for favorites synced from those devices on every launch and migrates them automatically. Your listening history stays in sync across all your devices. New Features - V11 Station ID System: Permanent random identifiers that never change, ensuring your favorites remain stable across database updates - Automatic Migration: Seamless V10 to V11 migration with fallback database rescue for orphaned favorites - Cross-Device Migration: Continuous sync support for favorites from older V10 devices - macOS Menu Bar MiniPlayer: Persistent status bar presence with playback controls, station favicon, and quick station selection dropdown - macOS AirPlay Integration: Native AVRoutePickerView button with AirPlay state detection and "Playing on AirPlay" indicator - CarPlay Now Playing Navigation: Improved template stack handling for seamless Now Playing access from any station list - Database Re-extraction on Update: Fresh favicon cache on each app update ensures latest station artwork - Migration Analytics: Track migration outcomes with V10 to V11 and cross-migration events Fixes - Fixed favicon cache not updating when app version changes - Fixed CarPlay Now Playing template not appearing correctly when already in stack - Improved dismissed rescue station tracking prevents re-rescue across restarts and devices Refactorings - Renamed middleware packages: CTSwiftLogger to CTLogger, CTSwiftBanner to CTBanner, CTSwiftLanguageManager to CTLanguageManager, CTRMError to CTRCMError - CarPlay coordinator split into Actions and Observers extensions for SwiftLint compliance - Added initialization state tracking with loading, ready, error states - Updated all station ID access to use explicit pladioStationID property - Cleaned up old extraction directories after database update - Improved MiniPlayer preferences with iCloud sync for display mode
