What’s new
Subtitle and skip-time fixes.
- Your audio and subtitle picks stick. The languages you choose are remembered for each show, so the next episode, auto-play, and quality changes start on them instead of the title's defaults.
- Image subtitles resize. PGS and VobSub subtitles now follow the subtitle size setting.
- Subtitle Style fits the track. For image subtitles, which can't be recolored, Text Color and Background are hidden and only the size shows.
- Subtitles move above the controls. While the player controls are showing, subtitles that would sit under the progress bar move just above it, then go back down.
- More skip times. When the server has some skip times for a title but not all, Zelefin fills in the missing kinds (recap, intro, credits, preview) from TheIntroDB. When TheIntroDB says its daily limit is used up, Zelefin stops asking until it resets.

Skip recaps, intros, credits, and previews, plus a round of fixes.
- Skip Recap, Intro, Credits, and Preview. Each has its own button and its own auto-skip setting. Jellyfin and Silo read them from the server (Intro Skipper or the TheIntroDB plugin), and for titles the server has nothing for, including everything on Emby, Zelefin asks TheIntroDB directly. You can turn that off in Settings.
- Skip markers for everyone. Non-admin Jellyfin users now get skip buttons too.
- Plugin status. Intro Skipper and TheIntroDB show as Enabled, Disabled, or Not Installed.
- Notifications stop when you sign out. Signing out, removing an account, or switching Silo profiles now stops that account's Emby and Silo notifications, and leftovers from earlier sign-outs are cleaned up.
- Seerr requests without Sonarr or Radarr. Requests are saved for an admin to see even when nothing is set up to download them.

Fixes signing in when the server address has a capital letter at the start.
- Addresses like `Https://jellyfin.example.com` or `HTTP://...` used to fail with "HTTP host unreachable", because Zelefin added a second `https://` in front. Any capitalization works now, and slips like `https:/` or `https//` are fixed for you.

Fixes buffering when you watch over a VPN like Tailscale.
- Auto quality no longer assumes you're home just because your server has a home-network address (like 192.168.x.x). Over Tailscale or another VPN, Zelefin now tests the connection first and picks a quality it can handle, instead of streaming a 4K original that stalls.
- At home on Wi-Fi or Ethernet, nothing changes: it still plays the original right away.
