Here is everything that was added to the Plex app on Android today:
- Updated User Interface: Experience video using the same beautiful user interface as music.
- Picture-in-Picture: Press the home button during video playback to enter picture-in-picture mode, enjoy other applications or browse through your Plex library whilst continuing to watch your videos.
- Seeking Previews: Scrub along the seekbar by dragging to see a thumbnail preview (requires previews enabled in PMS).
- Gesture Seeking: Double tap the left or right side of the video to seek backwards or forwards quickly.
- Display Mode: Change the display mode to fill, stretch and show the video at original size (under
Playback Settings > Display Mode). Fill that gorgeous 18:9 display! - Portrait Mode: Watch videos with your phone in portrait, landscape lock can be used to keep landscape only mode (under
Playback Settings > Lock to Landscape). - Chapters: Jump ahead or skip back to your favourite chapter without seeking around for the right spot.
- Preload Next Videos: Whilst the countdown takes place on the postplay the next video in your play-queue begins to buffer for an instant start.
- Performance Enhancements: Smaller and lighter player framework, starts videos and seeks faster than ever before.
