v0.11.1 - Revamped
CHANGELOG
Syncplay is completely revamped. Uninstall any version you have, this new version is not backward-compatible with the previous ones so updating is not possible. Also, anything below Android 8.0 is not supported. If you want to have Syncplay Android for legacy Android versions, use 0.10.1 or below.
v0.11.0 to v0.11.1 EDIT: Enabled 'Reconnection interval' in-room settings, Enabled 'Track Language Preferences', Fixed package name change to match it with the previous versions.
The appearance is completely reimagined :
- Instead of tabs, the main screen is a single screen now. On top you will find settings, night-mode switch, and the Syncplay logo.
- When you click on the Syncplay logo, you can access Solo Mode (video player only) from there.
- Settings are now grouped in categories with animation.
- New global setting: Language preferences for the tracks (Audio/Subtitle). You can now choose a preferred language which will be picked automatically when you load a media. #27
As for the room, the entire layout is changed. You’re gonna have to get used to the new changes:
- Message typing box is now to the top left, above messages.
- Message typing box has a little send button inside, but you don’t have to click that. You can use the ‘OK’ button on the keyboard to send. There is a new in-room setting to change that.
- The seekbar got narrowed down for better control.
- “Ready” button is now on the bottom left.
- Most of the rarely used buttons (Aspect Ratio, Subtitle and Audio tracks) are now contained within a popup card, by clicking the second button on the bottom right. Let’s call this a control card.
- Adding media is still done by the same button on the bottom right, upon clicking which pops up a card with two icons (they’re self-explanatory).
- User details, Shared Playlist, screen-lock, and In-room preferences are on the top-right, in the form of tabs.
New controls and features:
- Double-tap gestures to seek back/forwards, you can disable this via the control card. #38
- Added ‘Undo seek’ and 'Seek to position' features. #23
New in-room settings:
- Seek back/forward increment: You can adjust how much time the video player jumps when seeking back or forwards.
- You can adjust the reconnection interval (how long Syncplay waits to reconnect after disconnecting).
Critical bug fixes:
- Fixed a crash on Android 13 (Tiramisu) when opening any media file.
- Keyboard no longer looks like it’s closing twice.
- Subtitle font size is now changeable without issues (also added in-room preference to change it for Solo Mode). #40
