⚠️ Alpha build — this release is for early testers only. Take a backup before upgrading, expect rough edges, and please report anything broken. Regular users should wait for the upcoming beta.
This alpha brings Debrify's new WebDAV sync system, richer Collections and metadata browsing, faster Home navigation, and another large round of playback and TV polish.
☁️ WebDAV sync and migration
- Keep Debrify in sync through your own WebDAV account, including profiles, connections, addons, playback progress, watch data, Home rows, navigation preferences, collections, IPTV libraries and Debrify TV data
- Join from the first-run screen with a fixed Debrify folder and encrypted circle credentials; existing devices can adopt and merge data without replacing newer changes
- Changes publish automatically, foreground sync stays responsive, large sections are compressed and streamed, and unchanged data is skipped
- Connected-device management now shows editable device names and relative activity times; admins can remove a device from WebDAV, and that device must log in again before it can rejoin
- A live sync indicator, manual Sync now, optional rolling diagnostic logs and clearer retry feedback make account and transport problems easier to diagnose
- Encrypted local backup and restore now covers every profile and shared connection, streams large archives safely, and can restore WebDAV settings
- New guide — Set up WebDAV sync walks through connecting an account and syncing another device
🏠 Collections, Home and discovery
- Folder Collections can be built from catalog lists and added to Home as cinematic rows, with custom logos, backdrops, cover art and optional focus GIFs
- Browse collections through polished gallery cards, TV Filmstrip lists, or scrollable category tabs on phones and tablets, with sorting kept available on touch devices
- Collection navigation, pagination, damaged-data recovery and WebDAV synchronization received extensive reliability work
- Hide watched titles from supported browsing views, with paging that keeps loading until useful results remain
- TMDB joins the metadata and Discover system, adding richer artwork, cast and crew pages, studios, availability, title suggestions and cinematic Explore rails
- Home list previews now load asynchronously and the completed Home board is restored when returning from Settings, reducing repeat waits and preserving focus and pagination
🎬 Playback, sources and subtitles
- Direct addon links can be reused immediately, including protected request headers, while binge-group preferences carry across series episodes
- Stream badges now support cached SVG artwork, custom rules, profile-safe storage and transfer, stable sizing, Cinema source rows and smoother focus behavior
- Pinned sources are summarized into one card with a count, and the source dialog adds a remote-friendly Clear all action
- Android TV playback recovery now preserves profile, progress, completion and rewatch intent across host recreation and source changes
- Embedded subtitle selection is more reliable, with synchronized subtitle-source priority and a clearer Playback settings layout
- Page transitions are smoother across phone, desktop and TV while respecting reduced-motion settings and preserving iOS swipe-back
📺 Live TV and platform polish
- Spotlight Guide is now the default desktop and TV IPTV layout, with richer programme previews, Favorites and custom-list navigation, category-wide search and a collapsible sidebar
- IPTV favourites, custom lists, ordering, playback history and resume state can sync through WebDAV
- Debrify TV adds on-demand sync and a remote-friendly Delete all action
- Android TV Home progressively loads artwork and isolates tab backdrops for smoother navigation on slower devices
- Linux vault unlock is enabled automatically by default, and remote pairing and transfer flows received reliability fixes
🐛 Notable fixes
- Fixed WebDAV setup, reconnect, logout, first-join, polling and sync-journal edge cases across interrupted requests, stale manifests and concurrent devices
- Fixed removed WebDAV devices being accidentally recreated and made legacy accounts create removal metadata safely
- Fixed Home collections losing continuation, focus or newly synced content after refreshes
- Fixed Trakt token refresh, Continue Watching refreshes and scrobbling preference checks
- Fixed profile setup cancellation, desktop collection scrolling, Spotlight hero stalls and several native-player teardown and recovery paths
