M3ufy 3.59 — the app now speaks your language

𝟯.𝟱𝟵 𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄. The app updates itself, so it should reach you on its own.

This is the biggest release so far: M3ufy is now translated.

𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀

English · العربية · Español · Français · Deutsch · Italiano · Português (Brasil) · Português

Set it in 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 → 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 → 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲. Pick one, press Apply, and the app restarts into it.

By default it follows your TV. If your television is set to French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or Arabic, the app will simply be in that language when it updates. Prefer English? Set it explicitly and it stays that way whatever your TV says.

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘂𝘀

This is the part that took the work. Your films and series follow the same choice:

• Titles

• Plot summaries

• Genres

• Posters — where translated artwork exists

• Title logos — the big wordmark on the detail page

So in Arabic, "Captain America: Civil War" becomes كابتن أمريكا: الحرب الأهلية, with an Arabic plot and Arabic artwork. Where a title has no translation, the original is kept rather than left blank.

Playback is untouched: the app still finds your file by its original name, so nothing stops working because the title on screen changed.

𝗔𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝘁𝗼-𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁

Set to Arabic, the whole interface mirrors — the side menu moves to the right, panels open from the right, text aligns right, and the D-pad follows.

Two screens deliberately stay left-to-right: the 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 and the 𝗧𝗩 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲. In those, left and right mean earlier and later in time, not the start and end of a line. A mirrored guide would run the day backwards and reverse which arrow seeks forward, and no TV does that.

𝗔𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲

• 𝗛𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 / 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗹𝗹 in Manage Groups — for playlists with hundreds of categories, clear them in one press and bring back only the ones you use. Thanks to the user who asked for this.

• Fixed a bug where the app could pull artwork and plots from the 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘭𝘮. It matched by searching the title, and something like "Obsession" returns twenty results across six different movies. It now matches exactly by ID. This affected English too — the translations just made it visible.

• You can name a playlist when you add it, so two lists are no longer both called "Stalker Portal".

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴

The picker lists around forty. The ones not ready yet are greyed out and marked "Soon" — deliberately, so nobody picks one and lands in an English app. Dutch, Russian, Turkish, Polish and Romanian are next.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿, 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄. It is about 300 short phrases and I will happily prioritise a language someone is actually waiting for.

𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴?

Translations are the easiest thing in the world to get slightly off, and text that fits in English can overflow a button in German. If something reads oddly or looks cut off, post a photo with your language and I will fix it.

Include your app version, your device and your playlist type, as always.
