What's New

Webview browsing in media history

Sites you visit through the in-app web viewer now appear in the media switcher's Recent list, next to vault files and library items. Titles are captured automatically. Vault-file entries update when Obsidian renames the backing file. When you create a media note for a URL, the history entry merges into the library record — one entry per media, not two.

History is also now stored in IndexedDB rather than settings.json, so it can actually grow.

Manual install fallback for main daemon

When automatic module download fails, you can grab the .asar from the GitHub release page and install it with a file picker instead of being stuck.

Bug Fixes

  • Audio players were collapsing to zero width inside Dataview table cells — they now render correctly. Style Settings also gets two new variables, --mx-min-audio-embed-width and --mx-min-video-embed-width, so audio and video can be sized independently. #597
  • Modifier+Enter shortcuts (Mod+Enter, Mod+Alt+Enter, Shift+Enter) in the media switcher were silently dropped. They work now.
  • Downloading subtitles from the web viewer's more-options menu now pre-populates the media note with webpage metadata (title, cover, creator), the same as "Add to media library" already did.
