Release notes
BakBeat 1.11.0
Released 2026-09-06
What's New
- Added Activity, a session-wide view of BakBeat operations so you can follow imports, device transfers, scans, preparation, ejects, rescues, MiniDisc work, and other tasks from one place.
- Movie and TV imports can now use optional .nfo sidecar files to pre-fill titles, show and episode information, release details, descriptions, ratings, and local artwork when available.
Device Improvements
- Device operations now run one writer at a time per device, so starting another transfer queues behind work already in progress instead of interrupting it.
- Connected devices can now show product photography in the Devices list when BakBeat has an image for that model.
- iPod software information now distinguishes the version reported by the iPod from BakBeat's known firmware information.
- Updated known firmware information for iPod nano 2nd and 4th generation, iPod 5th generation, and iPod shuffle 1st generation.
- iPod orphan files can now be reviewed individually and either extracted or deleted, with the remaining orphan count kept up to date.
- Device, podcast, audiobook, video, playlist, MiniDisc, Museum, setup, and library operations now report more useful names, phases, progress, and results in Activity.
Bug Fixes
- Video import status and Movies/TV refresh state now remain accurate when you leave the route while work is still running.
- Improved video selection behavior during in-progress interface updates.
