The first official release of Dispatch is here! V1 brings one (maybe 1.5) additional features + many more bug fixes as well as some performance improvements.
Android TV Play Next Support
Media from Android TV's Play Next row will now sync to Dispatch's Watch Next row.
Unfortunately, since very little metadata is known about media in Android TV's Play Next row, these items won't be as visually rich as content from your Plex library (so no logos, for example.) Still, it's better than nothing!
App Peek + Play Next
Dispatch's App Peek feature also supports Play Next items from Android TV. If an app has added media to your Watch Next / Play Next row, those items will be contained in a special card in front of all the other media in App Peek.
It is not yet possible to manually add
app media
to the watch next row, but that enhancement will come in the future. Plex media
, on the other hand, can always be added to Watch Next by clicking the "Add to Watch Next" button.
You can individually control which apps are allowed to add items to Watch Next (and Watch Next in App Peek) from Settings -> General -> Home & Wallpaper -> Personalize Media Feed.
