What's New in ShowShark

2026.07.20

July 20, 2026

- Original playback is faster, simpler, and available in more places. One Original choice now selects the best direct or remux path automatically, with faster indexed playback for compatible Matroska and WebM files. - Original now works remotely and with AirPlay video. ShowShark can relay untouched media through remote tailnet connections and hand supported sessions to nearby AirPlay receivers from iPhone, iPad, and Mac. - Original closes major feature gaps. Text subtitles, Skip Intro, more device-detected codecs, AV1 remuxing on capable hardware, preserved Dolby Digital audio, and extensive HDR and synchronization fixes make it a much more complete playback mode. - YouTube and Default playback can deliver better quality. YouTube resume and scrubbing can stay in HD, while adaptive playback raises quality more confidently when the connection and playback buffer are healthy. - Music albums now have artwork galleries. ShowShark can discover, cache, and display front and back covers, booklets, disc scans, tray art, and other images from the Cover Art Archive. - Downloads, navigation, search, profiles, and library scanning recover more gracefully. Interrupted work resumes more reliably, tabs remain stable while data loads, and several large-library and restricted-profile gaps are fixed.

Amazing!

Very easy to set up. The offline download feature is great for road trips. I’m glad I gave it a try.

Amazing

Setting up the server was easy. My kids can watch their shows while we are away from home, and the offline download feature is great for long drives. I love not having another subscription.

Pretty good, room to grow

At the end of the day it works but usability is a c+. Less time on ai icon and silly loading messages, more on ui refinement please

Response from developer

Silly, indeed. Neither the icons nor the copy-paste loading messages took any time at all. With specificity, you might instead call out the areas you’d like to see refined. Or, just contact us directly with feedback, which we are happy to hear. C- on the review message.

Kids can use it

Once I got the server set up, even my kids could easily find and watch their cartoons on the Apple TV. They never have to ask for help. This stands in contrast to Plex. ShowShark is worth checking out.
