Lumehush

Changelog

What's new in Lumehush.

Every update, newest first, in plain language. Lumehush is in early access and updates often.

A new name Latest

Velvet is now Lumehush

  • Same app, new name everywhere: the window, the title bar, the Start menu, the installer and Settings → About.
  • Your library comes along by itself. The first time Lumehush starts, it picks up Velvet's library, profiles, watch history, Liked songs and settings. It makes a checked backup copy first and never deletes Velvet's folder.
  • The installer now always adds Lumehush to the Start menu, even when it runs silently.

Fixes and polish

Fixed

  • Pictures and the music progress bar no longer flash black while you scroll or while music plays. Lumehush now holds a normal amount of graphics memory and only trims it when minimised.

Polish

  • Liked songs: the columns are spread more evenly and the heart sits next to the time.
  • The now-playing screen takes its colour from the album art properly, with no more olive tint on yellow covers.
  • Album and artist pages: the details line is easier to read.
  • Settings: icons sit in the middle of one-line rows, and buttons and labels scale on large screens.
  • The profile menu shows each profile's real picture.
  • Player buttons are the right size on 4K screens.

The first version

Watching

  • Import a whole Jellyfin library, read-only, with collections and Continue watching. New files in your folders appear by themselves.
  • A home page with a featured title, Continue watching (with time left), Recently added, New episodes, My List, Collections and genre rows.
  • Title pages with cast photos, a File card (video, audio languages, subtitles, size, folder), seasons and episodes with watched ticks, progress and air dates, and More like this.
  • Movies and TV Shows pages with genre chips, a Watched / Unwatched filter and sorting.
  • Search finds titles, people (with photos) and titles where an actor or tag matches.
  • The built-in player: hardware decoding, resume where you stopped, skip intro and credits, next episode, subtitle and audio menus, scrubber previews, and Sound settings (night mode, dialogue boost, surround to stereo). Media keys work.

Music

  • Albums, artists and Liked songs (newest first), mixes, a queue and gapless playback.

Profiles

  • "Who's watching?" profiles with an optional 4-digit PIN. Each profile has its own progress, My List, Liked songs and settings. A Kids profile shows only titles within its rating limit.

Your library, tidied

  • Library health lists wrong matches, duplicates, missing artwork and episode-numbering problems, with one-click fixes you can undo. Add a TMDB key in Settings for re-matching and better artwork (optional).

Settings

  • Playback, Sound, Music, Profiles, Library (folders, data folder, health, Jellyfin import), Appearance and About.

Good to know

  • Lumehush only reads your media folders; it never moves, renames or changes your files.
  • When minimised it gives memory back and uses next to no CPU.
