Release History

Changelog

Every version, every change. Full transparency on what's new, fixed, and improved.

v1.6.22

Pick What Gets Renamed

✓ LatestStableOct 3, 2026

Added

•Tick boxes on the left of every Rename Queue file and Movie Matrix folder — only ticked items are auto-matched, previewed and renamed.

•A select-all box above each list with a live “ticked of total” count. Shift-click a box to tick or untick everything between it and the last one you clicked.

•Ticking a skipped item puts it back in the list.

Fixed

•The two grey circles on the left of each row looked clickable but did nothing — they are replaced by the tick boxes.

v1.6.21

Roomier Rename Previews

Stable2026

Fixed

•Movie Matrix → Confirm Rename: each movie card now grows to fit its full FROM and RENAME TO names. Cards were being squeezed to a fixed height, so long names spilled underneath the next movie.

•Every genre now shows on the preview cards and wraps onto extra lines, instead of being cut off after the first one or two.

•The window title (taskbar, Alt-Tab) still read the old name — it now says PFlix Renamer.

v1.6.20

PFlix Renamer — New Name, New Look & Poster Wall

Stable2026

Added

•RE-F*ckulator is now called PFlix Renamer, with a new logo in the sidebar and on the window, taskbar and installer.

•Floating movie posters drift behind every page — this week's trending titles pulled from TMDb and cached locally for about a week (a bundled set is used when no TMDb key is configured).

•Changelog in the app — the History page has a Renames / Changelog toggle so you can see every version's changes and fixes without leaving the app.

•Movie Matrix has a "← Back" button in the header to return to the Library.

Improved

•Preview rows in the TV Rename Queue and Movie Matrix are bigger, with bordered FROM / RENAME TO boxes, and long file and folder names wrap inside the box instead of spilling past the edge.

Removed

•Time Passer Arcade has been removed entirely — its emulator, ROM handling and background processes are all gone, which trims the install and frees resources during scans.

v1.6.19

Built-In Updater

Stable2026

Added

•Built-in update checker — the app checks pflix.shop shortly after launch and, when a newer version is available, shows the release notes. Choose Download & Install and it downloads with a progress bar, verifies the file, then closes to run the new installer. No account, no third-party updater.

•Later / Skip this version — dismiss the prompt for now, or skip a specific version so it never nags you again. Click the version number in the sidebar footer any time to check manually.

Fixed

•Movie Matrix renamed nothing when "Require subtitles before rename" was toggled off — the setting was read back as the text "false", which counted as on. Settings are now read back as real on/off values.

v1.6.18

Movie Matrix — "Nothing Renames" Settings Bug

Stable2026

Fixed

•Movie Matrix could skip every file and rename nothing — the confirm reported "nothing to do". On/off settings were read back as text, and "false" counted as on, so "Require subtitles before rename" stayed active and any movie without a subtitle was silently skipped. On/off settings are now read back as real booleans.

•The same fix means the other toggles the rename engine reads (auto-download subtitles, create season folders, and so on) now honor their off state.

v1.6.17

Movie Matrix — Rename Reliability & Network-Share Fix

Stable2026

Fixed

•Movie Matrix reported "success" when nothing was actually renamed, and remembered the folder as processed so it could never be renamed again. A folder is now only counted and remembered when a file truly moved.

•Renaming on a network share or mapped drive could silently do nothing, because a plain rename can't cross volumes. Added a copy → verify → delete fallback so moves on SMB and mapped shares complete — in Movie Matrix, the TV Rename Queue and Undo.

•A destination video file that already exists is now shown as a conflict to resolve instead of being silently swallowed.

•Scans re-check the processed-folder memory — a remembered folder is only skipped if its destination really contains a video file, so folders wrongly hidden by the old bug come back automatically.

Added

•Rename debug log — every rename run writes per-item MOVED / SKIP / CONFLICT / FAILED lines to logs\rename-debug.log for troubleshooting.

v1.6.16

TV Library — Multi-Episode Parsing & Rename Queue Exclusions

Stable2026

Fixed

•Multi-episode files (e.g. S01E01E02 or S01E01-E02) are now correctly detected — previously only the first episode number was seen, resulting in a wrong single-episode name. The correct Plex format S01E01-E02 is now used.

•Added .xvid to supported video file extensions — XViD-encoded files using this extension were previously skipped by the scanner.

Added

•Exclude from rename queue — each row in the Preview tab now has a checkbox. Uncheck any file to exclude it from the current rename batch. Excluded rows appear faded with a strikethrough. The Confirm button count and stats bar both update to reflect only the files that will actually be renamed.

v1.6.15

Plex — TMDb Trending, Sonarr/Radarr Cross-Check & Missing Episodes

Stable2026

Added

•Trending now uses TMDb — shows this week's top movies and TV shows pulled directly from TMDb (no Plex Pass required). Displayed as a poster grid with ratings, ranked by popularity.

•Trending cross-checks Sonarr & Radarr — each trending item shows whether you already have it in Radarr (movies) or Sonarr (shows). Items you don't have get a one-click request button. Filter by All / Movies / Shows.

•Watchlister now cross-checks Sonarr & Radarr — instead of checking your Plex library, the Watchlister compares against what Sonarr and Radarr are actually monitoring. Shows like Modern Family show up as "In Sonarr" with a missing episodes count.

•For shows in Sonarr with missing episodes: a "↓ Search Missing" button triggers Sonarr to search for the missing episodes directly from the Watchlister.

v1.6.14

Plex — Trending, Cross-Check, Ignore List & User Stats

Stable2026

Added

•Trending tab — new "Trending" tab in the Plex page pulls Plex's trending/popular content and cross-checks it against your library. Items you already own are marked "✓ Owned". Missing titles get a one-click Radarr or Sonarr request button.

•Watchlist cross-check vs library — Watchlister now indexes your full Plex library and marks items already in your collection as "✓ In Library". Request All Missing automatically skips anything you already own.

•Ignore list — click × on any watchlist item to hide it permanently. Toggle "Show N ignored" to review or restore them.

•User stats bar — shows your watchlist count, how many items you already own, total ignored, users loaded, and which title appears on the most watchlists across all your shared users.

v1.6.13

Plex — Fixes, Poster View, Shared Users & Sidebar Polish

Stable2026

Fixed

•Plex Watchlister request buttons now correctly route movies to Radarr and shows to Sonarr — previously both types showed the Sonarr button regardless of media type.

•If Radarr or Sonarr isn't connected, the request button now shows "Connect Radarr/Sonarr first" (greyed out) instead of silently failing.

•Watchlister now tries multiple Plex.tv API endpoints before giving up — resolves 404 errors on some account configurations.

Added

•Library poster view — toggle between list and poster grid in the Plex Library tab.

•Shared library user watchlists — all 10+ people sharing your Plex library now appear in Watchlister. Enter each person's Plex token once and load their watchlist.

•Library sort options: A–Z, Unwatched first, Watched first, Recently added.

•Sidebar tightened — brand area, nav items, and footer all have reduced padding.

Download v1.6.13

v1.6.12

Plex Integration — Watchlist, Library & Watched Badges

Stable2026

Added

•Plex integration — a new Plex sidebar item connects to your Plex server via token and unlocks three features: Library view with watched/unwatched badges, Sonarr/Radarr cross-reference, and a full Watchlist manager.

•Watchlist manager — pulls your watchlist directly from plex.tv. Items not already downloaded get a "Request via Radarr" or "Request via Sonarr" button. "Request All Missing" batch-queues every unwatched item at once.

•Home user watchlists — load any managed home user's watchlist (requires Plex Pass) with one click.

v1.6.11

Movie Matrix — Preview Row Text Fix

Stable2026

Fixed

•Long filenames in the rename preview no longer get clipped at the box edge — FROM and RENAME TO text now wraps inside the card so you can always read the full original and destination names.

Download v1.6.11

v1.6.10

Movie Matrix — Duplicate File Resolution

Stable2026

Added

•Duplicate file resolution now actually works — when Movie Matrix detects a conflict you can now choose: Replace the existing file, Delete incoming to remove the badly-named source, or Skip it.

•Confirm button count now includes duplicate resolutions and stays enabled when all conflicts are resolved.

•Success notification shows separate counts for renamed and deleted items when both happen in one batch.

Download v1.6.10

v1.6.9

Movie Matrix — Rename Bug Fix

Stable2026

Fixed

•Movie Matrix no longer incorrectly blocks renames when the destination folder already exists — creating the destination folder is expected and not a conflict; only an existing destination video file is a true duplicate.

Download v1.6.9

v1.6.8

Movie Matrix — Auto-Reset After Rename

Stable2026

Fixed

•After confirming a rename, Movie Matrix now resets to a clean state — previously the view stayed on the completed preview with stale entries; now it returns to the scan screen.

Download v1.6.8

v1.6.7

Movie Matrix — Processed Folder Memory

Stable2026

Added

•Movie Matrix remembers which folders it has already renamed — on subsequent scans of the same parent folder, previously processed folders are automatically skipped.

•Scan feedback bar now shows a "Previously renamed (skipped): N" count.

•A "↺ N skipped" button appears in the toolbar — click it to clear the memory and force a full rescan.

•Memory is stored in SQLite and persists across sessions — if you undo a rename batch from History, those folders automatically reappear on the next scan.

v1.6.6

Polish & Fixes

Stable2026

Fixed

•Various UI polish and internal fixes — small corrections to labels, display text, and version indicators throughout the app.

Download v1.6.6

v1.6.5

Movie Matrix Preview — Text Overflow Fix

Stable2026

Fixed

•Movie Matrix preview rows — rename text overflowing outside card boxes. Long folder names like "Balls Up (2026)[Comedy, Action, Adventure]/" rendered outside the card boundary. Added overflow: hidden — text now truncates cleanly with an ellipsis.

Download v1.6.5

v1.6.4

Parser Fix: S01 E001 Format — Folder Rename Toggle in Stats Bar

Stable2026

Fixed

•Files using "S01 E001" format (space between season and episode) were parsed as UNKNOWN type — parser now accepts an optional space between the season and episode markers.

Improved

•Folder Renames toggle moved into the preview stats bar — the checkbox was previously buried in the toolbar; it is now a visible ON/OFF toggle button in the summary bar.

•Folder count added to the stats bar — the preview summary now shows Ready / Warning / Error / Skipped / Folders counts side by side.

Download v1.6.4

v1.6.3

Saga Folder Fix — Collapsible Folder UI — Auto Season Folders — AniDB Episode Lookup

Stable2026

Fixed

•Saga/arc season folders all mapping to Season 01 — folders like "01. The Saiyan Saga (Eps. 001-035)" were all being assigned Season 01. Folder ordering is now determined by numeric prefix extracted directly from each folder name.

•Season folder creation double-nesting — enabling "Create Season Folders" on a library that already had Season 01/ subfolders would place files inside a second nested Season 01/Season 01/ path; now guarded against.

Added

•Auto Season Folder Creation — TV Rename Queue now defaults "Create Season Folders" to on; flat show folders automatically get a Season XX/ subfolder created during rename.

•AniDB Episode Lookup (Phase 2) — full per-anime episode detail lookup via the AniDB HTTP API; retrieves episode numbers, English titles, and airdates for accurate episode naming.

Improved

•Folder Renames panel collapsed by default — the preview panel no longer consumes most of the screen when a large number of folder renames are queued.

•Folder Renames panel has a max-height scroll area when expanded.

v1.6.2

OpenSubtitles Auto-Download — Connected to Rename Pipeline

Stable2026

Fixed

•OpenSubtitles auto-download was not connected to the rename pipeline — the Settings page showed the connection as active, but toggling "Auto-download missing subtitles before rename" had no effect during actual rename operations.

•Both Movie Matrix and the TV Rename Queue now run the subtitle auto-download step before processing any files.

Added

•Auto-download checks for existing subtitle files on disk before hitting the API — no wasted quota if a subtitle is already present.

•Downloaded subtitles are saved next to the source video with a language suffix (e.g. Movie Title.en.srt) and then renamed/moved alongside the video during the rename pass.

•"Require subtitles before rename" setting now actually blocks renaming — items without a found subtitle are marked blocked and skipped.

v1.6.1

Folder & Season Renaming — AniDB Integration

Stable2026

Added

•Folder & Season Renaming — TV Rename Queue now detects and renames messy show root folders and non-standard season folders.

•AniDB Integration — optional metadata source for anime shows, powered by the public AniDB anime titles index. No account or API key required.

•AniDB title index downloads on demand (~5 MB gzip) and caches locally for 7 days.

Improved

•Preview table now shows a color-coded Folder Renames panel — show root renames in purple, season folder renames in cyan.

•Folder detection handles group release tags, quality markers (1080p, WEBRip, HEVC, etc.), and multi-audio/sub tags.

Internal Development Build — Superseded by v1.6.0

⊘ Removed2025

Fixed

•This was an internal development build that was never intended for public distribution. It shipped with known instabilities including audio bleedthrough from the Time Passer Arcade, checkbox state corruption in queue lists, and an app path crash. All issues were resolved in v1.6.0. This build has been pulled.

Future releases will appear here. Check back for updates.
