Visual Improvements

Nearly every screen has been revamped. Thumbs are now used to provide an extra splash of color and character. Latest media items on the home screen are grouped appropriately by series or albums.

Remote Control

Now Chromecast and other Media Browser apps are managed through a common layout. Whether you play to Chromecast, DLNA, or another Media Browser app, the look and feel is the same. At the bottom you'll have a nice mini controller so the remote control is never out of reach.

Playlists

Server playlist support is also included in this new version. Also local media queuing has been revamped. The play queue is fully interactive, and you can drag to reorganize what's playing, or drag-right to remove items.

Users will need to re-enter their connection values. Apologies, but necessary due to the changes in connectivity

The app will be available on Google Play in the next few hours, and in the next few days on the Amazon store.
