What's New in Sotto
1.0.4
August 14, 2026
Thank you for using Sotto. This update makes Sotto use the input names you set on the receiver itself, and fixes the streaming sources on older receivers. • If you renamed an input in your receiver's own setup menu — "PS5" instead of GAME, or "Apple TV" instead of CBL/SAT — Sotto now shows your name for it, in the input picker and on the home screen. It never did before, on any receiver. Names you have set inside Sotto still take priority, and if Sotto cannot reach your receiver it keeps the last names it knew rather than reverting to the factory ones. • On receivers from before 2016, the network sources were being asked for by the wrong name, so Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, your favourites, Last.fm, the music server and Flickr could not be selected. All six now work. Thank you to the owner whose diagnostics snapshot uncovered this: it affected every pre-2016 model, not just theirs. • After an update, Sotto now tells you what changed, and names any receivers it has learned to support. If one of them is yours, it says so. Own a receiver Sotto does not fully support yet? The app can send an anonymized snapshot of your model, and that is exactly what lets me add real support for it. Six of the eight models Sotto now handles properly came from owners doing precisely that, and one of them found the streaming-source bug above.
