Latest on the Amazon Appstore: 1.1.2 · 1.2.0 submitted August 29, 2026
Astra has shipped eight releases since July 2026. Every one is shaped by real Jellyfin
libraries, physical Fire TV testing, and reports from the people using it. This page is the full record.
Astra 1.2.0
SUBMITTED TO AMAZON
Playback repaired for Vega OS 1.2
Fixed resuming a title, switching audio tracks, and turning on burned-in subtitles, which could each close the app after the Vega OS 1.2 update.
Made startup and seeking far quicker: a long jump that took most of a minute now takes seconds, and short skips are close to instant.
Updated for Vega OS 1.2 and the current Amazon device libraries.
Added an optional diagnostics view showing playback timings.
Requires Vega OS 1.2. Devices on an earlier Vega OS remain on 1.1.2. Still being worked on: long chapter jumps, and subtitle timing after one.
