Soia: download ældre versioner

Highlights
- User mpv config file support
Point Soia at your own mpv config file in Settings > General and it is loaded at startup.
- Sorting in the Network browser
Sort network folders and files by name or date added, ascending or descending. Folders stay at the top in every sort mode.
- Simplified Chinese support
Added a Language setting in Settings > General with Simplified Chinese (简体中文) alongside English.

Highlights
- Cast to DLNA and Chromecast
Cast the currently playing video to a DLNA receiver or Chromecast, whether the source is a local file, a DLNA/SMB/WebDAV stream, or an online video.
Keep Soia running while casting: Soia relays the media stream between the source and the receiver.
- Enhanced YouTube playback
Improved YouTube stream parsing and selection for more reliable online playback.
- Audio output and passthrough
Choose the audio output device and enable passthrough for supported formats.
- More playback controls
Adjust playback speed continuously in 0.1 increments, click the video to play or pause when Compact Mode is disabled, and fine-tune the picture with zoom and crop controls.

Release Notes
Important (macOS)
macOS may show "Soia is damaged and can't be opened" or say it cannot verify the app is free of malware.
This happens because the app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID certificate, so macOS may block it on first launch.
Workaround (Recommended):
1. Right-click Soia.app
2. Click "Open"
3. Click "Open" again in the dialog
If that doesn't work, run:
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Soia.app
You can also go to System Settings > Privacy & Security and click "Open Anyway" (it appears after a blocked launch attempt).
The app is open-source and its code is publicly available for anyone to inspect.
[0.2.10] - 2026-08-08
Highlights
- Remote Controller: Playlists and Network Media
The browser-based Remote Controller can now browse and play playlists, as well as media from configured network sources. Network browsing uses the same remembered folder as the desktop app, so you can pick up where you left off on another device.
Fixes
- Fixed a Windows issue where switching videos or leaving playback could leave the app window fully transparent.

[0.2.8] - 2026-07-11
Highlights
- Improved SMB Browsing & Playback
SMB stream proxy now uses async pipeline reads and respects server-negotiated max read size, resulting in smoother browsing and more reliable playback over SMB shares.
- More yt-dlp Configuration Options
Added configurable max stream resolution, cookies-from-browser support, and improved format selection (preferring avc1 over vp9). YouTube /show/ playlist URLs are now recognized as playlists.
Fixes
- Fixed video aspect ratio distortion when resizing the window while paused on macOS.
- Fixed AppImage failing to launch on Fedora by excluding bundled libpulse.
- Fixed playback speed resetting when switching between videos.
- Fixed playback history not being saved before switching tracks.
