Original release notes
- Watch Together with SharePlay on a FaceTime call: everyone plays from their own server, in sync. - Continue Watching widget for your Home Screen and Lock Screen. - Siri and Shortcuts: "Play The General in Cinereel", "Resume watching in Cinereel". Your library also shows up in Spotlight. - Apple TV Remote: pair once with a code on the TV, then search on your iPhone or iPad and play on the Apple TV. - Sleep timer: stop at the end of the episode, or after 15 to 90 minutes. - Handoff: start on one device and pick up on another at the same second. - Because you watched: Home suggests unwatched films from your library that match one you just finished, with the reason for each pick. - Picture in Picture keeps playing while you browse your library; tap restore to jump back into the player. - Search covers your whole server, even while a big library is still loading. Large libraries now appear right away and fill in as they load. - Jellyfin: subtitles on converted streams, and Skip Intro and auto-skip credits from your server's media segments (Jellyfin 10.10 or later). - Small fixes and polish.
