News

v2.1.0 (2026-07-18) - HDR10+ offset settings are now available on Kodi 22 and later, and on other platforms once HDR10+ is first detected during playback - Offset changes made in the addon settings during playback are now applied as soon as the settings dialog is saved - Notifications now show the offset value in the heading and the stream details below, so nothing scrolls or gets cut off - Removed the onboarding flow and the bundled test video. Platform capabilities are now detected during normal video playback v2.0.0 (2026-07-16) - More reliable offset application: stream changes are detected and verified before offsets are applied, eliminating misapplied offsets during playback startup and format switches - Manual offset adjustments are now detected from any input method (keymaps, remotes, JSON-RPC), not just the Kodi audio settings dialog - Smarter notifications: they wait for the stream to settle, and no longer get cut short when two notifications arrive close together - Improved coexistence with PM4K (Plexmod for Kodi): seek-backs are announced via the script.audiooffsetmanager.seeking window property - New Advanced settings category with a debug logging toggle
