What's New in ShowShark

2026.09.01

September 2, 2026

Cameras, a new Channels hub, subtitle files, sharing downloads, and a lot of polish. • Watch your IP cameras. Add ONVIF or RTSP cameras on the Server and watch them live on every device. • A new Channels tab. One card per channel type opens its own screen: video, music, photos, YouTube, podcasts, radio, cameras, and IPTV. • Drop an .srt file next to a movie or episode and it appears in the subtitle picker, with the language read from the file name. • Export a downloaded file as a standard MP4 in about a second, then AirDrop it, message it, or save it to Files. • Scrub with previews everywhere. Thumbnail previews now appear while scrubbing in Original (HLS) mode and in downloaded videos, even with no connection. • Recent searches follow you. They are stored with your profile, so every device sees the same list, and you can clear or remove entries. • iCloud Photo channels play videos too. Mixed folders and albums play each video in full with sound, in sync for everyone watching. • Better Original playback. Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 Blu-ray audio plays, a slow connection offers a one-tap switch to Default instead of restarting, and your mode choice is remembered. • Network shares are faster. Videos on SMB and S3 locations start sooner, resume where you left off, and move far less data. • Get maintenance reports and alerts through Notification Center, Pushover, ntfy, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or a webhook. Plus fixes for the Search tab on small iPhones, sheets that opened empty on the Mac, and a long list of stability improvements. Update your ShowShark Server to get everything above.

User reviews

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.
