serento

Hello everyone,

Version 1.1.8 brings filters to every album list, gives EPs and singles their own place on artist pages, and keeps your mixes and playlists on the server they came from.

AFTER YOU UPDATE: SYNC EVERY DEVICE ONCE

This version changes how Serento reads your library, so run a sync once on each of your devices: Settings › Libraries › your server › Sync Data › Sync now. Every device keeps its own copy of the library, so a sync on one of them does not do it for the others.

NEW

Filters everywhere. The filter button of Browse › Albums is now on every album list: an artist’s albums, a genre, a tag, Other Versions, Similar Albums, Top Albums and Search. In Listen Later and on a tag’s page, filters apply to every kind of item, tracks included, and Apply tells you how many items will appear before you tap it. A new Channels section filters albums by their layout, such as 5.1.

EPs & Singles. An artist’s page now shows their EPs and singles in a section of their own, below Albums. Each section shows one row, and View All opens the full list with filters, sorting and Pick for Me. To see everything on the page itself, turn on Show all albums in Settings › Display › Artist Settings › Artist Page Albums. Appears On stays one row.

Each server keeps its own. My Mixes now keeps a separate set for each combination of servers you have on: switch servers and you get the mixes made from them, switch back and the earlier set returns. A track in a mix never jumps to another server’s copy. Playlists, Listen Later and tags keep every item on the server it came from. While that server is off, its items are greyed out or hidden, and they come back with it.

IMPROVED

Tracks in Listen Later and in tags now look and work as they do in Browse › Tracks, and a tag’s page has the same controls at the top as Listen Later, Pick for Me included.

Similar Artists and Similar Albums now take the track artists of a compilation into account, and respect Hide track artists.

Album identification picks the right release when an album and a single share a name. During Enrich Data, a new step, Checking album releases, finds albums linked to another artist’s release or filed as an EP or single by mistake, and fixes them.

Faster sync. Artist images and bios, album covers and reviews take less time, and one sync reads the DSD rate of every DSD file.

Use artist images from your server (Settings › Display › Artist Settings) now works with every server, Plex included. It stays off until you turn it on, and an album cover is never taken as an artist photo.

Pick for Me shows a playlist’s cover mosaic and every artist of a mix or playlist.

Genre images now come from the genre’s own artists, including the artists on its tracks.

The row of applied filters now always stays on screen, in the same place on every list.

On iPhone, the sort button and the tab bar give a light haptic on every press.

On libraries over 5000 albums, favorites, tags, Listen Later, ratings and downloads now follow their tracks after a sync.

Asset UPnP and MiniDLNA. Serento is optimized for both, for better performance and a better experience.

FIXED

An unavailable track in a playlist now looks like the others, greyed out, and you can still remove it from its menu.

Many bug fixes and other small improvements.
