Hi everyone! This is update was actually submitted on Sunday but is still being reviewed by Google. Since it's taking longer than usual, I'm making this post now to let folks know what's pending in this release.
I will update this post once the release is live on the Play Store.
Watchlist Fix
The latest version of the Plex API has made changes to their watchlist endpoints. This update addresses those changes, fixing any broken watchlist functionality in Dispatch.
The watchlist fix has also been pushed to the stable branch, and will be available at the same time as this release.
Movie Reviews
Dispatch will now display reviews on the movie details page.
Connection Alerts
Dispatch will now display a warning when it can't reach your Plex server. Selecting this notification will attempt to automatically resolve the problem if it can, and if not, it will prompt the user with some further diagnostic steps.
One potential scenario where this comes into play is when a user's Plex authentication session expires. Normally, your Plex authentication token
should not expire
, however, under certain circumstances it can occasionally happen.From the user's perspective, while using Dispatch, this would result in Dispatch "no longer syncing". With these changes, Dispatch will now alert the user that the connection is failing, and upon selecting the notification they would be asked to re-sign in to Plex so that syncing can resume.
Other fixes
Various fixes and optimizations have been made regarding the media browsing features introduced in the last release.
What's next
I still have a few bug fixes that need to be made over the next week or so. After those have been implemented, all features in the beta branch will make their way over to the stable branch.
Work on multiple profiles / profile switching continues. It's progressing well and will hopefully be available shortly enough.
