News

Version 1.4.4 released - Monday, November 2, 2026

  • Clementine no longer crashes when playing on a Chromecast that isn't on a network the network remote listens on.
  • Linux software centres now show what's new in each release.
  • The menu for choosing where to play shows whether each device is a speaker, a TV or a speaker group.
  • Fixed a crash when double-clicking a track to play it.
  • The Mac and Windows versions print their log when run from a terminal, so --verbose and --log-levels work there too.
  • Chromecasts are offered whenever they're found, and choosing one explains what the network remote needs to play on it, offering to turn it on.
  • Plex keeps working when the server's address changes, without signing in again.
  • Plex album art keeps loading when the server's address changes.
  • The network remote can listen on a network instead of an exact address, so it keeps working when your router gives this computer a new address.
  • Full screen visualizations keep the screen from turning off on Linux again, and a new "Keep the computer awake" setting can turn this off.
  • Clementine can keep the computer awake during playback, while playing on another device, while a remote downloads or syncs songs, or whenever it's open, with an option for each under "Keep the computer awake".
  • The library has a new "Added in the last 30 days" smart playlist.
  • Clementine Remote can list the library's smart playlists and play them.
  • The Windows installer is no longer blurry on high-resolution displays.

Version 1.4.3 released - Monday, October 26, 2026

  • About Clementine and About Qt work again in the macOS application menu.
  • With the theme following the system, Clementine switches between light and dark as soon as the system does.
  • On macOS, Plex tracks and other streams from servers with newer certificates now play, instead of failing with "Internal data stream error".
  • The Dock icon's play and pause badge fits in with current macOS, and the icon is sharp on Retina screens.
  • On Retina screens, the playlist's Source column shows its icons at full size again.
  • On macOS, Clementine's icons use the system's SF Symbols: sharp at any size, and following light and dark mode.
  • Clementine Remote no longer mixes up songs Clementine can't read (a missing file, say) with a playlist's first song.
  • Clementine Remote shows songs Clementine can't read (a missing file, say) as the playlist does, rather than as empty rows.
  • The tray icon's play and pause badge is now visible on dark panels.
  • Remotes name this computer by its host name when choosing where to play.
  • Fixed an occasional crash while Clementine reads tags, such as when scanning the library.
  • The remote control settings link to the new Clementine Remote for Android on Google Play.
  • The remote control settings no longer link to ClemRemote, the alternative remote app.
  • Play music on a Chromecast or other Google Cast device: turn on "Allow playing on remote devices" in the network remote settings, then choose the device with the Cast button next to the volume slider.
  • Album covers in the now-playing area are now sharp on high-resolution screens.
  • Under GNOME, Clementine uses GNOME's own icons for its buttons and menus, matching the rest of the desktop in light and dark mode.
  • Clementine has numbered releases again, every week there's something new. Development builds from every change are pre-releases on GitHub.
  • Fixed streams sometimes never starting when they're opened as Clementine starts, from the command line or a remote.
  • Fixed adding songs and streams from a remote's Browse tab on Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12.
  • Streams that connect but send nothing now fail after five seconds with an error, instead of waiting for ever.
  • Clementine's scalable icon is now square, as Linux app launchers expect.
