- Fixed: Televisions now identify themselves to Emby as MbyATV everywhere, including in the playback devices list, instead of reporting the app's own name.
- Fixed: Signing in from the admin console or the web installer is now recorded by Emby as MbyGateway, so the server is no longer listed as though it were a television.
- Fixed: Traliers show the logo from the show in the on screen player vs text.
- Added: Smart search for next episode recap/preview episode from YouTube that plays 2 mins before show end
- Added: Optional setting for next episode recap/preview.
- Fixed: Server logs for playing traliers.
- Fixed: The source IP address for each tralier play should come from the Client's real IP address, not from the server.
- Added: Films, series and supported seasons can now play trailers with one press.
- Improved: Memby prefers official Apple and YouTube trailers, plays them natively and automatically tries another source when one is unavailable, blocked or fails during playback.
- Fixed: Trailer playback no longer needs a second Play press, opens a broken web player or leaves the viewer on a generic playback error.
- Fixed: Back now returns cleanly to the detail page after a trailer, and Memby returns there automatically when no playable source remains.
- Improved: Successful trailer sources are remembered for faster repeat playback without unnecessary provider requests.
- Added: Selected labels, feature switches and safe presentation settings can now be managed by the Memby server, while complete bundled defaults keep the app working normally when the server is slow or unavailable.
- Improved: Search now has a dedicated Request action for finding the exact film or series to add, with clearer in-library and already-requested states.
- Fixed: Film and series requests now use the intended monitored request workflow and provide clearer results when a title cannot be requested.
- Fixed: Playback reports are now serialised, and final stop positions are protected from out-of-order requests.
- Fixed: Home, preferences, themes and detail screens now recover automatically with bounded retries.
- Fixed: Retries can no longer cause request storms, duplicate media requests or repeated alert actions.
- Fixed: Useful cached content remains visible when refreshes or later result pages fail.
- Fixed: Network requests now have explicit loading, success, empty and failure states, with retry actions where appropriate.
- Fixed: HTTP 429 responses now respect the server's Retry-After delay.
- Fixed: Malformed and partially populated objects are safely filtered before reaching the interface.
- Fixed: Rate limits, partial payloads and durable playback stops now have regression coverage.
- Fixed: Resuming playback now cancels delayed background stop work before reporting the session as active again.
- Fixed: Refreshed streams and subtitle-driven stream changes now close superseded playback sessions and start their replacements in order.
- Fixed: Cancelled or stale stream, retry and subtitle requests can no longer overwrite a newer playback attempt.
- Fixed: Enabling burned-in subtitles no longer lets the hidden video continue and then jumps back to an earlier position when the stream is ready.
- Fixed: Playback now waits for a slow next-episode lookup, and auto-advance resets subtitle, preview, intro, credits, artwork and session state for the new episode.
- Fixed: Player construction and synchronous media preparation failures now show recoverable Retry and Exit actions instead of closing the player.
- Fixed: The pre-roll player remains idle while the main programme is playing, avoiding a second prepared decoder after hand-off.
- Fixed: Repeated screensaver Play presses are gated, and a new single-task player intent now deliberately replaces the current playback.
- Fixed: Playback position, stream identity, selected tracks and episode details now survive activity and process recreation.
- Fixed: Natural playback completion now returns to the screen that launched the player instead of clearing the task back to Home.
- Fixed: D-pad focus now stays visible and predictable across My Shows, Settings, profile management, the TV calendar, detail pages and changing home rows.
- Improved: The TV calendar is now a modern weekly guide with artwork, title logos and clear season-premiere and finale labels.
- Added: Home-screen metadata now shows the sound profile, including mono, stereo, 5.1 and 7.1.
## 0.2.47 — 2026-08-11
- Fixed: A television signed out because its version has been retired now stays on the update screen — across a restart, and while the server is slow to answer — instead of falling back to a welcome and sign-in it could never get past.
## 0.2.46 — 2026-08-11
- Added: A TV calendar on the navigation rail — the month ahead as a grid, with the focused day's episodes beside it, so you can see when a show comes back.
- Added: A television signed out because its version has been retired now goes straight to the update screen, instead of showing a sign-in that could never succeed.
- Improved: In Settings, pressing Up at the top of a page returns to the page list rather than doing nothing.
- Fixed: The home screen could close itself when a row or a card arrived twice from the server. The same fault could close the cast list, search results, similar titles and episode lists.
- Fixed: Pressing down through the rows on Home and TV Shows could stop part way and refuse to go any further until you left the page.
- Fixed: Play could stop responding for the rest of the session if starting a title failed early, with nothing on screen to say why.
- Fixed: A title the server could not supply a stream for now says so, instead of flickering and returning to where you were.
- Fixed: Back now leaves the "starting playback" screen, rather than waiting out a server that has stopped answering.
- Fixed: Dismissing one of your alerts takes effect immediately, so a slow connection no longer invites a second press.
- Improved: Genre and search shelves no longer stop loading further pages when the server repeats a title across a page boundary.
- Improved: Memby uses less memory on a television left on for weeks at a time.
- Added: Surround sound passthrough for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos, DTS, DTS-HD and TrueHD, with automatic detection and manual receiver overrides.
- Improved: Unsupported surround tracks are decoded to PCM on the TV, and audio conversion no longer makes Emby re-encode otherwise compatible video.
