Moonfin 2.1.0 Release Notes Features Playback and Audio * Remote streams can now direct play when the source supports it, which avoids unnecessary transcoding. On macOS, where libmpv decodes everything locally, the app now also advertises HD audio such as TrueHD and DTS-HD, along with Dolby Vision Profile 7, as direct playable instead of forcing the server to remux or transcode. * A new PlaybackArbiter coordinates audio across the app for cleaner handoffs between the Media Bar trailer and main playback. * The media segment countdown, used for skip intro and next up prompts, is now customizable. Personalization * You can now override the app interface language independently of your device language. Other * Offline downloads now include external subtitles, and offline playback can load them. Bug Fixes iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Playback * A round of iOS playback fixes landed. iOS 26 no longer shows a black screen on playback, hardware decoding no longer causes excessive heat and battery drain, and TrueHD content now reports stereo only output so the server downmixes or transcodes instead of failing to play. * Fixed iOS resume loading feedback and on screen display timing, along with transcode exit and play and pause flicker across all platforms. * The play and pause button now responds correctly after a mobile playback handling fix. * Fixed a race condition where the on screen display and the play and pause button could get stuck after media finished loading on macOS. * Clicking a player control button on macOS no longer registers as a double tap and rapidly toggles fullscreen on and off. * Cinema Mode no longer hangs on a black screen when pre-rolls fail to load, and its transitions are smoother. Home Screen and Navigation * The Classic home row style no longer leaves a phantom gap below the carousel on iOS. * The Live TV guide is no longer blank on iOS and iPadOS with Emby servers, after guide times were converted to UTC. Subtitles, Audio, and Devices * The player now waits for external subtitles to finish loading before selecting tracks, fixing a race that could apply the wrong subtitle. * Fixed text subtitles being both burned in by the server and overlaid at the same time during transcoding, so they no longer render twice. * Removed StartTimeTicks from transcode URLs and added it to the Emby playback info request to stop unwanted media restarts and forced transcodes, and added audio rekick logic for bitstream formats to stop dropouts. * Fresh installs now default to safe PCM audio output so sound works out of the box, and receivers connected over ARC or eARC now have compressed passthrough enabled on first detection when they support it. Other Fixes * Removed the stray Streaming from AirPlay label that could stick on screen and bother users. * Reworked PIN security and login preferences. * Fixed a focus handling crash on the Emby connect screen. * Local Previews toggles now sync to the server like the rest of your preferences. * Replaced unsafe type casts with safe conversions across item properties to prevent crashes from unexpected server data.

Features - Audio and subtitle language preferences now initialize automatically from your server settings the first time around if they have not been set yet, and the language picker gained more options from the Jellyfin localization list with the common ones moved to the top. - "Modern" home rows got proper horizontal scrolling controls so you can page through them more comfortably. - A round of interface polish landed across the board, including a smoother media bar crossfade, refined home row spacing and animation, a new fade and scale page transition, and small poster sizing defaults for the modern rows. - Image loading now respects max width and max height parameters across favorites, folder browse, search, item detail, and the Live TV guide, so posters and thumbnails are requested at sensible sizes instead of full resolution. Bug Fixes - Letterboxd ratings were showing doubled because the underlying score uses a different scale than expected. They now display correctly as X.X out of 5. - iPads were being detected as desktop and getting the wrong layout. iOS devices are now correctly treated as mobile. - Fixed the switch user button sizing on mobile. - Dolby Vision Profile 5 content that needs transcoding now correctly falls back to HDR10 instead of failing. - Some settings tiles were drawing square borders outside their rounded corners when highlighted. Tile and focus colors are now transparent by default so the borders are gone. - Seerr login was reworked with a simplified flow and a single attempt circuit breaker so it stops retrying in a loop which was causing lockouts. - Updated the support button text and filled in a large batch of missing localization fields, which also cut down build time translation warnings. - Corrected the Discord invite to discord.gg/moonfin
