What's New in NaviFin

1.2

September 13, 2026

Version 1.2 is mostly bug fixes. PLAYBACK Some files played sound with a black screen. Apple requires HEVC video in an .mp4 to carry one particular tag, and a great many x265 releases use the other legal one. Apple's player then plays the audio and silently never draws a picture, with no error of any kind. Those files now open in the other engine, which does not care about the tag. Pause, then play, no longer jumps backwards. If you had skipped an intro or scrubbed anywhere, pressing play after a pause could throw you back to that spot. Audio stays on the language you picked. It used to fall back to the file default after a long pause, and again on the next episode of a series, while the menu still showed your choice. The preferred subtitle language in Settings now decides which embedded track a file opens on. Scrub previews on iPhone, iPad and Mac for files your server has not processed, decoded on the device while you scrub. The preview also stays while you look at it instead of vanishing on its own. The timeline runs the full width of the screen or window. A MENU ON EVERYTHING Hold the centre button on the Apple TV, long tap on iPhone and iPad, right click on the Mac, on any film, episode or series, anywhere one is shown. It offers Information, Resume, Play from Beginning, Go to Series, Mark as Watched, Mark as Not Watched, Remove from Continue Watching, Add to List and Favourite. Mark as Not Watched is always there, which matters when your server thinks you finished something you did not. Remove from Continue Watching clears the resume position without marking anything watched. Those are different statements and only the second one existed before. READABILITY AND REACH Skip Intro, Skip Credits and Next Episode were white text on a white button. They are legible now. Now Playing is reachable again as a tab on the Apple TV, and opening it no longer strands you there. Watch lists count what you have actually seen. A series with 39 episodes and 3 watched used to read 0 of 36. Lyrics follow word by word where your file carries the timing, and grow with the panel on the Mac. WHEN SOMETHING GOES WRONG Settings, About, Troubleshooting prepares a redacted log you can send. An Apple TV can hand it over as QR codes or numbered pages, so there is no need to photograph a screen. Server errors name their status instead of reading JellyfinAPIError error 0. Quick Connect asks your server whether it is switched on and reports the real reason. The app finally tells your server which build it is, so a device in your dashboard stops reporting 1.0.0 forever.

Best Jellyfin App

I had looked around for a Jellyfin app when I first moved to Jellyfin on my server and there was not much around. However I recently found NaviBeat for my Navidrome server and noticed this app.

Not only is it a fantastic app in it’s own right, the dev responsible for it has a brilliant approach to pricing, with an extremely value for money one off charge, not the completely unrealistic subscription fee that so many others seem to expect these days.

They also responded very promptly to a suggestion I made for the app as well.

If only all iOS devs were this good!
