This update contains mostly bug fixes.
A clean installation is not required, but without one, you'll notice that upon launch you will be prompted with a "continue setup" screen. You can just click through the setup until you arrive at the home page. This will trigger a metadata refresh as well, similar to the first install. However, all your previous media and settings should be carried over without issue.
Here are the highlights of this release:
Enhanced logging: Users can now enable logging in Dispatch from Settings → About → Diagnostics. If you are having issues, you can enable logging and send me the logs so that I can investigate. You can export your logs from the same page. Logs are exported to the Downloads folder by default. If you do not know how or don't have the ability to extract the exported logs from your device, please let me know. For those users, I can enable cloud upload for logs on your device, which will zip and send your logs directly to me upon export.
A couple of additional notes about logging:
- All logs are kept on-device by default. Unless you specifically ask me to enable cloud upload, they will never leave your device. As well, you must specifically click the Upload Logs button in the diagnostics page to trigger an upload.
- Logging is enabled for the setup process by default. Once the initial setup is completed, it is automatically turned off. If you encounter issues during the setup process then, you can still export those logs from the Diagnostics page. If you do not want logging enabled during setup, you can long click on the Get Started button twice, which will entirely disable logging.
- If your issues seem to occur after setup as well, and you want to log the entire installation + post setup lifecycle, you can long click on the Get Started button once. This will toggle logging on, and ensure that logging continues even after the setup has completed.
- If you cannot get past the initial Get Started page, you can export any logs currently generated by long clicking on Quit button. This will export your logs to the Downloads folder. Cloud upload of logs is not possible until the setup has completed.
Fixes: The following issues have been addressed:
- Fixed at least one issue causing the wrong media to be shown in an app list. If you still encounter this issue, please let me know. It's possible not all scenarios were accounted for.
- Fixed an issue causing app peek / app lists to disappear
- Fixed an issue causing duplicate Plex media to appear in certain circumstances. For example, if you are watching a movie that is also in your watchlist, it will no longer appear twice in the Watch Next row.
Improvements made to app peek / app lists syncing:
- If an app list is toggle on or off from the settings, it will re-sync right away.
- If an app is highlighted but it's app peek media has not yet finished syncing, a re-sync will trigger automatically and the app peek card should be re-populated right away (might take a couple of seconds)
- Upon installation, only app rows already enabled on android tv will be enabled by default.
All in all, app recommendations should appear much more stable and instances of app media disappearing or not showing when expected should be completely eliminated.
