Ampdeck+ v2.0.19

✨ What's New in v2.0.19

• Queue position resets after playing a track — When using "Play track" in the Queue browser, the list now scrolls back to the top after the item plays instead of staying at the previously focused position.
• Now Playing Strip progress bars respect "None" — Setting a progress bar slot to None now correctly removes it from rendering. Also fixes a desync where the 4th dial slot could incorrectly default to position 1, causing its bar to render in the wrong place.

Ampdeck+ v2.0.18

✨ What's New in v2.0.18

• "RATING" label toggle — New "Show 'RATING' Label" checkbox in Rating button settings. Uncheck it for a cleaner look with the rating centered in the full button space.
• Font size affects single-star mode — The Single Star ★/☆ now scales with the Font Size setting (was previously a fixed 90px). The strikethrough on disliked tracks scales too.
• Play highlighted track in Queue browser — New "Queue Press Action" option in Dial Controls (visible in Queue mode or when using the Playlists + queue toggle). Set to "Play track (skip forward)" to skip Plexamp directly to the highlighted queue item instead of removing it. In this mode the pre-buffered first track is no longer locked.

Ampdeck+ v2.0.17

✨ What's New in v2.0.17

• Long-press Play/Pause to stop — Hold the Play/Pause or Album Art button for 400ms to stop playback, just like Plexamp. A short tap still toggles play/pause.
• Playlist button works from stopped state — The Playlist button & the Playlists (Carousel) from the touch strip can now launch playlists even when Plexamp has nothing queued or playing.
• "Not Playing" after stopping — Stopping playback clears track info and shows "Not Playing" on the strip and Track Title button, while keeping all buttons fully lit. The dimmed look is reserved for when Plexamp is unreachable or not running.
• Up Next queue capped at 100 tracks — The Queue (Up Next) browser now stores a maximum of 100 tracks in memory. Large playlists (e.g. 8000+ tracks) previously loaded the entire remaining queue into memory on every track change; the cap keeps memory usage and render time stable regardless of playlist size.

• "Show mode label" toggle — Hide the ARTIST / ALBUM / TRACK / TIME label row on any touch strip tile and let the text take over the full available space.
• Progress bar raised and doubled in size — The touch strip progress bar now sits 10px above the bottom edge and is 10px tall (up from 5px), making it clearer at a glance across all strip modes.

Ampdeck+ v2.0.15

✨ What's New in v2.0.15

• Queue (Up Next) browser — See your next 3 upcoming tracks on the touch strip. Rotate the dial to scroll, press to remove a track from the queue.
• Toggle Queue / Playlist with touch — Tap the strip to flip between the playlist carousel and the queue view and back again.
• Star ratings in queue rows — Each queue row shows the track's star rating in the accent color. Configurable format: half stars, full stars, single-star toggle, or none.
• Logarithmic fade curve — The Volume Down hold-to-mute fade now sounds natural rather than mechanical, dropping quickly at first and easing toward silence.
• Progress bar consistent across all strip modes — The playlist carousel now matches the queue and text strip exactly (y=95, 5px).

Ampdeck+ v2.0.12

⚡ What's New in v2.0.12

• ✨ Track Title button — New button showing the current track title in large auto-sized, word-wrapped text (up to 3 lines).
• ✨ Next Album / Previous Album buttons — Skip forward or back a whole album within a playlist queue. Perfect for playlist listeners who browse by album.
• ✨ Fade Out on hold-to-mute — Enable "Fade Out on hold-to-mute" in the Volume Down button settings. When on, holding the button fades the volume to 0 before pausing — perfect for streaming. Hold again to restore the original volume and resume playback. Fade duration is configurable from 1–30 seconds (default: 3s).
• ✨ Hold-to-mute now pauses & resumes — Even without Fade Out enabled, holding Volume Down to mute now pauses playback automatically, and holding again restores volume and resumes.
• 🎨 Previous / Next sidebar icons — The action picker icons for Previous and Next now match the double-triangle icons drawn on the buttons at runtime.
• 🐛 Track Info now shows the right track number no matter how you're listening — Playing an album (shuffled or not) shows the track's real position on that album, just like Plexamp does. Playing a playlist (shuffled or not) shows where you are in the playlist. The plugin figures out which type of queue you're in automatically.
• 🐛 Volume button no longer visually resets while muted — The volume button's accent fill no longer snaps back to the pre-mute level a few seconds after muting.
• 🐛 Short-pressing Volume Down while muted no longer breaks volume restore — Tapping Volume Down while the player was muted (via hold-to-mute) could cause volume to snap back to 50% instead of what it was before. It's now a no-op while muted so the original volume always restores correctly.

Amdeck+ v2.0.11

⚡ What's New in v2.0.11

• ✨ Track Info shows playlist position — When playing from a playlist, the Track Info button now displays the track's position within the playlist (e.g. 3/24) instead of the album position (e.g. 4/16). Falls back to album position when not playing a playlist.
• 🐛 Single-star rating cycles through all 3 Plexamp states — The Rating button in single-star mode now correctly mirrors Plexamp: tap once for liked (filled ★), tap again for disliked (★ with diagonal strikethrough), tap once more to clear. Previously every rated track was sent as "disliked".
• 🎨 Disliked star gets a diagonal strikethrough — The disliked state on the Rating button draws a vivid diagonal "/" line across the star in the accent color, making it instantly distinguishable from liked at a glance.

Ampdeck+ v2.0.10

⚡ What's New in v2.0.10

• ✨ "Use Local Plexamp Instance" checkbox — New checkbox in the Property Inspector above the player URL. When checked, the player address is automatically locked to http://localhost:32500, preventing Ampdeck+ from accidentally binding to a phone or remote player when Plexamp is running locally.
• ✨ Single-star rating mode — New rating option on the Rating button that toggles between rated (1 star) and unrated with a single tap.
• 🐛 "Use Local Plexamp Instance" checkbox stuck on localhost when unchecked — Unchecking the checkbox now correctly restores the previously saved player URL.
• 🐛 Text color not applying on first render — Strip layout renderer now always reads text color from global settings instead of stale per-action willAppear data.
• 🐛 Colors not refreshed after global settings arrive — updateAllDisplays() is now called immediately when global settings land, eliminating a brief flash of stale colors on session start.
• 🐛 Text color picker showing wrong color in Property Inspector — Color picker now correctly reflects the user's saved color choice instead of incorrectly falling back to amber (#E5A00D).
