What's New in RetroGuide.TV

1.1

October 5, 2026

Smarter channels • A fuller lineup built from your genres, decades, networks and collections, with fewer near-duplicate channels. • Shows take fair turns on every channel, and episodes always air in order. • RetroGuide now checks well-known titles against its own genre data, so documentaries and reality shows stay off the comedy, crime and drama channels. • The same show airs on at most two channels at once (change it in Settings › Channels), and never the same episode on two channels. • One show across all your servers: no duplicate channels when two servers have the same series. Your channels, your way • "Why is this here?" in Options explains why a show is on a channel. • Remove a show from one channel with RetroGuide Pro (it asks first, and you can undo), and put it back any time from Settings › Channels › Removed from channels. Audio and subtitles • Choose audio and subtitles right on the picture, even full screen, for one episode, a season, a whole show or a library. Choices are saved to Plex and iCloud so your other devices follow. • External VobSub subtitles now load. Fixes and polish • Faster start-up, and a guide that keeps up with the time. • A program whose file is damaged no longer leaves static on screen; the channel moves on. • Banner ads show in full on iPhone and iPad. • Many smaller fixes.
