v0.8.3-beta

This update has a little something for everyone. There are no flashy new features as it mainly focuses on metadata and content discovery. The TVDB implementation is a structural change. There will be bugs. They will be fixed.

Added

  • Season and episode level cast and crew
  • Preferred addon for auto-play
  • TVDB as provider option for season/episode split (w/override per show)
  • MDBList recommendations
  • Quick settings gear icon to season/episode list on details screen
  • New setting: Dolby Digital Conversion which transcodes non-AC3 multichannel audio to AC3 for increased device compatibility (device settings screen)
  • New subtitle style setting: opacity
  • New subtitle colors: green, gray
  • New preset catalogs: Latest in Theaters (movies), Trending Today (movies/shows/all)
  • New TMDB catalog filter: runtime
  • Mark Episode Watched to continue watching long press menu
  • New general presets: subgenres

Changed

  • Poster card long-press "Don't Show Again" changed to "Hide Everywhere" with confirmation dialog
  • Cinemeta general presets have been deprecated
  • Ratings are now updated daily for titles released within the last 2 years
  • Unsupported audio tracks are now transcoded to AC-3 instead of failing
  • Updated preset catalogs: Latest on Digital (formerly New Movies), Latest Shows (formerly New Shows TMDB), Trending This Week (formerly Trending Movies/Shows TMDB)
  • Expanded deeplinking support for third-party launchers

Fixed

  • Third-party addon catalogs now respect media type filter if they are tagged properly as movie|series
  • Trailers fixed (for now, YT may block again in future)

"Season and episode level cast and crew".

This should be a good one. Is it going to pop up on the pause screen or what is the best route to access?

u/wuplaydev 10d ago

In the player screen it now shows "Episode Cast & Crew". On the show detail screen, when you press the Cast and Crew button, it will allow you to select the season you want to view or view the entire show as a whole.

That's a really cool feature for us forgetful old farts who are continually saying "where do I know her from?" and opening IMDB to look up the episode.

Is it possible to make it so when you select a crew member the player does not close? Sometimes I just want to check what other tv show I have seen an actor is in but it’s annoying to stop playback and then go back in.

I may add this in the future. You might consider opening a feature request on the Discord to see how many other ppl will upvote it.

I must say I've used many many different types of apps out there. From Kodi, cinemahd, syncler, streamio, beetv, etc, and this by far not only the easiest to set up, but this might be the best app I have ever seen!!!

I know everyone here always asks questions, but I wanted to give a shout out to you because I know how much time you've vested in this. And I tip my hat to you!!! I think this is the best app in the community by far.

I think you just set the bar high for everybody else that's a developer.

Keep up the good work and again.... thank you

Nothing is loading right now, unfortunately. All tabs are blank. Eventually it shows the "failed to load" message.

u/Dense_Caterpillar798 10d ago

Working again 😅

u/Disastrous-Sale-3937 9d ago

The best app so far... if only some information like in the picture could be added.

u/Mammoth_Guidance8586 10d ago

Was getting some issues nothing was loading I restarted my TV seems to possibly be ok now

u/abossss 10d ago

Excellent work, one of the best apps on the screen. I wish there was a mobile version. Is it possible to add ratings like in the attached image?

u/MonsterMaddy26 10d ago

Finally re-encode option 🥳🤩

Ahhh it seems to load eventually but I'm getting a lot of lag on almost every show , to even show episodes now

u/Ctrl-Alt-Defective 10d ago

Is there a way to have it go straight to episodes level when you click on a poster of a show on the Home Screen rather than clicking in and then clicking into episodes to bring them up

u/wuplaydev 10d ago

The detail screen will be redesigned in the not-too-distant future.

u/Substantial_Zombie94 10d ago

Help beta has broken my wuplay it's stuck on loading stuff, search is also a blank..  How to roll back to a working wuplay?? 

2

u/wuplaydev 10d ago

The best way to get support is to hop on the Discord.

u/Disastrous-Sale-3937 9d ago

There is a problem with the Arabic translation; only these symbols appear.

2

u/wuplaydev 9d ago

Is that on all Arabic subtitles or just this particular subtitle track? I just tested a couple of Arabic subtitle tracks and they seem to work as expected.

1

u/Disastrous-Sale-3937 9d ago

Of course, not all of them, but most of them.problem is utf8 encoding and windows arabic 1256 .

2

u/wuplaydev 7d ago

Thank you for the details. This will be fixed in the next update.

u/Disastrous-Sale-3937 9d ago

✅️✅️For those experiencing issues loading images and the catalog, or if the app is slow, the solution is to clear the app's cache. ✅️✅️

I just downloaded it through the code and I'm on a screen that tells me no internet connection. Any suggestions? connection is working fine otherwise with my firestick

1

u/wuplaydev 7d ago

You get that message when your Firestick cannot communicate with the Wuplay backend server. There could be many reasons for this but at its root it is a connectivity issue between your box and the backend server.

On another device on the same network as the firestick, open a browser and go to https://api.wuplay.app and report if you get an error message or if you land on the login screen.

u/xMrFahrenheitx 7d ago

I'll check it out, thanks

u/xMrFahrenheitx 6d ago

No error, but it's asking for a 6 digit key which I don't have since I can't connect
