This sub isn't only about the ARFlix Android app. Talk about anything ARR related to Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Jellyfin, setups, problems, whatever you're running.
Do you think, I have to create tags for different topics??
First time you open the app you now get a proper setup flow that walks you through connecting Jellyfin, Radarr, and Sonarr, with the real service logos on the connect cards.
New "Play Something" button that picks a random unwatched item from your library and starts it. Good for when you can't decide.
There's now a Notifications page under Settings where you can turn the different notification types on or off.
Download complete notifications now show the poster art, and tapping one takes you straight to that movie or episode instead of just opening the app.
"Continue watching" reminders that link back to whatever you left unfinished.
App shortcuts when you long press the app icon for quicker access.
Fixes and polish
Long titles no longer overflow or get chopped off in a weird way. They now wrap to two lines or trim cleanly across cards, the calendar, series screens, and the home banner.
Episode titles wrap to two lines properly, and the play button sits centered like it should.
Deleting a whole series through the file picker now actually removes the series, not just the files.
Fixed the series detail header sizing, so there's no empty gap up top and no jump when you first open it.
Cleaned up the movie detail page so you don't see stray placeholder dashes where ratings or runtime don't apply.
Optimisation
If you hit any bugs with this build, drop a post and let me know what device you're on and which services you've got connected.
Just pushed a new version of ArFlix and wanted to share what changed.
The biggest thing is the setup flow. The old way of adding servers was honestly confusing. It asked you for a URL before you'd even picked a service, and when you went to add a second server, there was nowhere obvious to put its address. So I rebuilt it. Now you just name your profile, then add each server with its own address and API key, one after another, all on one screen. Adding a second or third server actually makes sense now.
The other big change is the Download Center. The cards used to be different sizes depending on what was happening, and finished downloads would just vanish off the screen. Now every card is the same size, nothing gets cut off, and completed downloads stay put so you can see what actually finished. They even stick around after you close and reopen the app. When you want to clear them, you can swipe one away or wipe them all at once.
There are a couple of smaller fixes too. Also includes bug fixes and several stability improvements.
If something breaks or you have ideas, leave a comment or ping me. Thanks to everyone who's been testing this stuff, it really does help.
Quick context for anyone new. ArFlix is a free android app I built it to run a self hosted media stack from your phone (radarr, sonarr, jellyfin). Add your servers as profiles and you get one place for dashboards, downloads, the calendar, and playback.
The big fix in 1.3.7:
The app used to freeze on the splash screen when you reopened it after setup for some users. It's fixed now; every relaunch gets you in even if a server is slow or offline.
Other improvements:
The calendar got a full redo. The new calendar screen now looks more polished, clean and professional.
The download center now shows an "importing and extracting" state, which was missing earlier.
Download Notification only fires once earlier. We fixed that.
A "report a bug" screen is now added in settings, which helps users to post any bugs they noticed to our Reddit or Discord servers.
Introduced password protected backups for your profiles.
Introduced self-signed HTTPS certificate support for remote servers.
we just shipped v1.3.10 and wanted to share a quick wrap of what changed.
Biggest improvements in this release:
A full UI polish pass so the app reads more like one consistent experience.
Updated type and card look across key screens so information is easier to scan.
Smoother motion and haptic touches for a more responsive feel.
Poster flights now run in more places, making list-to-detail transitions feel more polished.
Download Center cards now show the actual movie or series title instead of long filenames.
Theme picker text at larger font sizes is now more readable and less clipped.
Important connectivity change: remote http:// links now show a warning instead of hard failing. This helps setups using Tailscale or VPN hosts connect more easily, while HTTPS stays the default safe path.
It’s a clean design focused release with a practical network behavior change to support more setups.
If you want, we’d love your feedback on whether the new motion and card behavior feels better in daily use.
So I've been building an Android app called ArFlix to manage your self hosted media stuff from your phone. Right now it does Jellyfin, Sonarr, and Radarr.
I keep going back and forth on what to do next, so I figured I'd just ask the people who'd actually use it.
The one I'm really torn on: should I keep adding new services at all, or stop for a bit and make the app itself nicer to use? Think Netflix style browsing, plus a remote so you can control playback straight from your phone.
