Prism 2.0 preview + beta signups

PinnedRelease

Prism 2.0 is the culmination of the past year of feedback, with a focus on improved navigability and proper playlist support

FEATURES

  • The app now uses tab based navigation
  • Dedicated tabs for: Artists, Albums, Songs, Playlists, Tags, Search, Settings
  • In general, each tab can have its own sort order and set of filters
  • Playlists are now sorted in proper playlist order by default 🎉
  • Support for iOS 13 dark mode

Since this is a big change and I likely broke a bunch of things the first few beta versions will be on a separate TestFlight track. You can sign up here.

Once the kinks have been worked out I'll push 2.0 to the main beta track.

I hope you like it!

Don’t know if the most satisfying thing is to see a Prism big update or the whole Alcest discography in the screenshots

Been listening to them a bunch the last few days, since I heard about the new album. Good stuff.

I love the app. I use it primarily for the carplay support, which is fantastic.

One thing that I would love to see that might not be too difficult to add: support for Plex Stations.

I use plex "random album radio" all the time, also the "artist radio" button that shows up in plex when you are browsing an artist.

Thanks again for all your work on the app!

If already a TestFlight tester for V1 do we have to signup again for this version?

I'll release it to the main beta track after the first few releases. For now you'll have to sign up again if you want to try it out

I’m not sure if it’s possible for me to convey how wide my smile was when I saw the Edit Tabs screenshot.

Will there be a way to rejoin the main beta track? This beta has overwritten the original beta in TestFlight.

On the topic of betas - I know it's the wrong sub but are you accepting Prism beta testers?

Does either v1 or v2 have web file downloading like VLC?

Just found this app today and my only concern about switching to it was how it handled playlists, the new version answers that addresses that perfectly!

Great app! Thanks!

Really enjoying the beta; Is there a quick way to search within the various tabs?

I realize there is a dedicated search tab, but it would be cool to be able to search within the artist you are already browsing for example.

1
PrismDevOPDeveloper•

I think I’ll add a search bar to each tab that only searches within that tab. Searching within a specific artist or album is also a good idea, but not sure if it will make 2.0.

Riffz•

Yeah that would be great actually!

When tapping the 'i' to get more info for a track, can I request that the track's year, if available, is shown as well?

Sure, this is an easy one to add. Should be in the next build.

Thank you!!

Any chance this can still make 2.0 release?

Some interesting behaviour with the newly introduced support for indirect connections (Plex Relay) to my server behind CG-NAT, IPv4-only:

  • I can refresh the library, so it appears the connection is getting through
  • but I can not stream (“Playback failed, the operation could not be completed”)
  • and I can not download (forever stuck on “waiting”)

Whereas the iOS Plex app on the same iPhone reliably does all three. Tested on multiple WiFi networks and 4G. Any clues? Happy to send logs.

1
PrismDevOPDeveloper•

Hmm, that is strange. I can’t think of any reason the refresh would work but nothing else. Send those logs when you get a chance. Also, logs from the Plex app would be handy too, so I can compare how each app is connecting.

Deleted the app, reinstalled, re-authorized with Plex and...it all works!

I just discovered this App today and it seems to work great with my Plex server...is there any chance you will be adding Apple Watch support with download capability to the watch?
