Patch notes
What changed in each version of YarmiplayTV. The app shows the same notes under Settings > About > What's new.
1.8.5
Released 12 October 2026.
Saved and recent rooms with quick switching and one-tap rejoining, automatic MyAnimeList season and part matching with a dedicated library screen, three-column room layout with full-height chat, in-app update installation, and What's new notes after each update.
1.8.2
Released 12 October 2026.
A cleaner window while the desktop app updates itself on launch: the app's logo, the version and progress, and a quiet Skip for now (also Esc).
1.8.1
Released 12 October 2026.
MyAnimeList is switched on in this build. Connect it from the new MyAnimeList card on the home screen, next to Syncplay, your media servers and the files on this device.
1.8.0
Released 12 October 2026.
MyAnimeList: sign in and your list follows what you watch, even for shows numbered across seasons (with Undo), and rate shows or change their status from the player. Desktop picture-in-picture is now a floating window that keeps playing while you use the rest of the app (P, the button, or minimizing). The join form finds YarmiplayServerTVs on your network, and a DuckDNS server connects with TLS at home even without NAT loopback.
1.7.6
Released 12 October 2026.
Previous and next buttons in the player move the room's playlist (desktop: B/N and the media keys). While one entry plays, the next is looked up ahead of time, and when only another viewer has it, its start is fetched through the file relay, so moving on starts at once. A new operator password now shows as soon as the room is created.
1.7.5
Released 11 October 2026.
Create a managed room right from the join form; the room name and operator password each have their own copy button; the Room tab lists the shared playlist first, then chat, the people in the room, and last switching rooms.
1.7.4
Released 11 October 2026.
Syncplay managed rooms: create a room only its operators control, identify as an operator with its password (remembered per server and room), and follow the operators otherwise; operators can mark others ready.
1.7.3
Released 11 October 2026.
Picture-in-picture: leaving the app while a video plays on Android (phones, tablets and TVs that support it) keeps it playing in sync in a small window, and the desktop app has a picture-in-picture window (P, or minimizing) that stays on top while you use the rest of the app.
MyAnimeList: your list follows what you watch, including shows numbered across seasons, with Undo, ratings and status from the player.
1.7.2
Released 11 October 2026.
A Player tab on phones, tablets and desktop that opens the player from any screen, preview frames for the videos in Files on this device, and on Android the TV's thin seek bar and a media volume slider in the player.
1.7.1
Released 10 October 2026.
Screenshots from the player (camera button, F5 on desktop), a save button for relayed files, local files browsed by folder, automatic updates installed before the app opens on Windows, and clearer Syncplay connection errors, including a stop on an invalid TLS certificate.
1.7.0
Released 9 October 2026.
File relay: the Streaming line shows and hides with the player controls.
1.6.4
Released 9 October 2026.
File relay: a comma in the file name no longer leaves the player on Loading, and streaming keeps filling ahead of playback.
1.6.3
Released 9 October 2026.
File relay: shows Streaming while it plays, and a progress bar while a slow link downloads the file.
1.6.2
Released 8 October 2026.
File relay: a file opened directly is shared even without a media folder, and Android plays a relayed file instead of failing to open it.
1.6.1
Released 8 October 2026.
YarmiplayServerTV support: hosts approve devices once, viewers without the file stream it from someone who has it, and a Jellyfin the host shares is added automatically. Nothing changes on other Syncplay servers.
1.5.1
Released 6 October 2026.
Syncplay connects on mobile networks where the server refuses IPv6, by falling back to IPv4.
1.5.0
Released 5 October 2026.
Hide room chat, block names for a session, and room privacy tips
1.4.5
Released 5 October 2026.
Linux: .deb downloads and the Snap Store. Fixes the desktop app not starting on Linux systems set to a language locale such as en_US.UTF-8 (mpv_create failed). Volume control in the desktop player.
1.4.4
Released 4 October 2026.
Volume control in the player bar: a mute button, a slider and the level. M mutes.
1.4.3
Released 4 October 2026.
The player controls hide after two seconds unless the mouse is on them; the Hide button and H hide them by hand.
1.4.2
Released 3 October 2026.
Several Jellyfin and Plex servers at once.
