Playback now keeps retrying and advancing, and collage mode avoids rendering failed media sources. ### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-19 Improved source management and playback scheduling reliability. SMB sources can now be edited, updated, and tested independently. Files sources now support separate Add Files and Add Folder actions, with recursive folder scanning. Fixed Night Mode Auto Schedule so it correctly activates within the scheduled time range. ### 1.2.0 — 2026-05-31 SMB video playback is now much smoother and more reliable, especially for NAS-based slideshows and collage layouts. - Streams SMB videos instead of downloading large files first - Keeps collage groups on screen until the longest video finishes once - Loops shorter videos while waiting for longer videos in the same collage - Improves timeout and retry handling for unstable network downloads - Fixes single-video black screen startup cases - Fixes next group navigation after switching from one item to four items - Keeps playback controls visible while you are actively tapping next or previous ### 1.1.0 — 2026-04-04 • Music Library Integration — Browse and select background music from your iOS music library, including Apple Music downloads and iTunes purchases. • Music Playback Controls — Mini player in Settings with play/pause, skip next, skip previous, and volume control. See what's currently playing at a glance. • Music Playlist — Add multiple songs from your music library or files. Songs play in order and loop automatically. Mixed sources (library + files) are fully supported. • Now Playing Overlay — Current song name appears briefly during slideshow. Tap to skip to next track. • Night Mode Schedule — Set a time range to automatically enable/disable night mode (e.g., 22:00–07:00). • Playback Resilience — Slideshow no longer freezes when network sources are slow or unavailable. Automatic timeout ensures continuous playback. Bug Fixes: • Fixed color picker being clipped by settings sheet. • Fixed music file picker not accepting MP3 files. • Background music now continues playing when settings is open. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-03-31 Bug Fixes & Improvements: • Fixed storage leak — temporary files from SMB and photo library are now properly cleaned up during slideshow playback, preventing iPad/iPhone storage from filling up. • Cache management — Settings now shows real cache usage. The cache limit slider lets you set from 100MB to 50GB, or unlimited. Default is 1GB. • Clear Cache actually works — previously it was a no-op, now it deletes all temp files and shows how much space was freed. • Collage mode video fix — collages with videos now advance correctly after the longest video finishes. Videos no longer loop endlessly in collage mode. ## More apps by JING JIE LIN - [PocketVid - Video Compressor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/pocketvid-video-compressor/id6747345944) All apps by JING JIE LIN: https://appshunter.io/developer/1684261237 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
