https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/tag/2.5.4

Ubuntu 25.10, codenamed “Questing Quokka”, is here. This release continues Ubuntu’s proud tradition of integrating the latest and greatest open-source technologies into a high-quality, easy-to-use Linux distribution. The team has been hard at work through this cycle, partnering with the community and our partners, to introduce new features and fix bugs.

Ubuntu 25.10 introduces GNOME 49 with media and power controls on the lock screen, HDR brightness settings, and enhanced accessibility features in line with the European Accessibility Act. New apps include Loupe, a modern image viewer, and Ptyxis, a lightweight terminal emulator.

Built on the Linux 6.17 kernel, this release brings nested virtualization on Arm, early Intel TDX host support for confidential computing, and enhanced support for TPM-backed full disk encryption with passphrase support, recovery key management and better integration with firmware updates. Network Time Security (NTS) is enabled by default for more secure time synchronization.

Developer experience advances with updated toolchains for Python 3.13.7 and availability of 3.14 RC3, GCC 15, Rust 1.85, Go 1.25, OpenJDK 25, and previews of .NET 10 and Zig.

Ubuntu 25.10 also debuts Rust-based implementations of sudo and coreutils for improved memory safety, and adopts the new RVA23 profile as the baseline for RISC-V, paving the way to Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

The newest Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Cinnamon, Ubuntu Kylin, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio, and Xubuntu are also being released today. More details can be found for these at their individual release notes under the Official Flavours section:

Full Changelog: v4.1.1...v4.1.2

njs-0.9.3 bugfix version has been released.

Hot off the release of OS 8.0.2, we’ve got a great new batch of feature updates for you as we get closer to the release of elementary OS 8.1!

Maps

The first stable release of elementary Maps is now available for download on any Linux OS. For now we’ve focused on some of the basics like showing your current location, searching for locations, and handling geo:// uri links.

You may recall that Maps evolved from the Atlas code base originally written by Steffen Schuhmann for elementary OS. Ryo has worked hard to maintain the code and update it for the latest platform libraries like GTK4. Since the rename, we’ve updated the app to match the latest elementary styles and design conventions. We’ve also added an illustrated view switcher between Explore and Transit maps and when you search you’ll see color coded place type icons next to search results. Keyboard navigation, screen reader accessibility, and performance should also be slightly improved. Plus we have a modernized app icon, shoutouts to Micah for providing art direction.

AppCenter

On the Home page, the “Updates & installed apps” button is now properly labeled for screen readers. We’ve fixed a minor visual bug with banner shadows. And the “Education” category now has an icon.

In app info views, we now show a simple percentage-based app rating when ratings are available from ODRS—the same ratings server used by apps like GNOME Software. Expect future versions of AppCenter to expand our support for ratings and reviews, but for now we have some groundwork laid out. App info views also now show content warnings with a more compact layout. Italo updated our “End of Life” warnings to contain more accurate language, and licensing information now shows more detail and a simplified summary. Plus, we now show when a game supports playing with controllers. Leonhard added support for app addons, and we’ve simplified the “What’s New” section to show just the latest release, with the option to view more releases in a separate version history window.

Leonhard did a ton of work in this release to make app updates faster and more reliable. The code has been massively streamlined and we’ve resolved reported crashes that some folks were experiencing while checking for updates. Plus we’re now using GTK 4’s FilterListModels for improved performance. The “Last checked” time is now updated every minute while the updates view is open and the gear menu can now be opened with the keyboard shortcut F10.

We’ve made a few changes to the way installed apps are shown to make it easier to keep up with what’s new when you have automatic app updates turned on. Installed apps are now sorted by release date instead of alphabetically. The Releases dialog got a slight redesign and you can now see recent releases for all installed apps. And we’ve adjusted where the version number and store origin labels appear to clean up their layout.

Occasionally, app icons can take a little longer to load; When this happens they’ll now fall back to a nicer placeholder and cross fade into their proper icons once available, thanks to Italo. We’ve changed the label of the action button for free apps from “Free” to “Install”, according to your feedback. “Recent” apps in Category views should feature a more up-to-date selection and be a bit faster to load. And Search Results will now show in two columns when enough space is available so that you can see more results at once.

Dock

When we ran our desktop survey 75% of you told us that you expected to see background apps in the Dock, so we now have Background Portal support in the Dock thanks to Leonhard! Here you can see a list of apps running the background without a window, their supplied reason for running the background, and you have the ability to force them to quit. You can always further manage app permissions in System Settings → Applications and choose which apps are allowed to run in the background.

New contributor Sebastian fixed issues with the placement of app name tooltips, added a shake animation when you try to open a new window on a single-window app with middle-click, and fixed an issue where re-arranging app icons in the dock could cause them to shake indefinitely. Leonhard fixed an issue where maximized windows would be behind a portion of the dock when hiding is turned off. And William improved the color of the indicator dot for apps which are active on another workspace.

Panel & Settings

In Quick Settings, we’ll now show a message when you try to turn on the onscreen keyboard in a Secure Session since it’s currently only available in a Classic session. And we’ve added a couple of nice animations when you toggle Dark Mode or Rotation Lock.

Vishal fixed a potential crash when using the network indicator on the Lock Screen. And we’ve improved Airplane Mode: it will now only disable networking radios, not Bluetooth or wired networks. Plus you can now jump to System Settings when middle-clicking networking toggle buttons.

Application settings now has a setting to select your default Maps app, and you can start typing to search apps right away instead of having to select the search icon first.

Login & Lock Screen

Leo put a ton of effort into this latest release of the Login & Lock Screen, including support for the automatic accent color and Dark mode! We now also sync more of your settings like panel transparency and power settings. We’ve improved keyboard navigation, and will automatically select the Classic session if accessibility features are used, for example, during Initial Setup. We’ll also do a better job of remembering your last selected user card and their session type.

And More

Jeremy also pushed another round of maintenance updates for our developer tools! Files now does a better job when drag-n-dropping files into other apps, and Properties windows now show a more precise date and time for file modification. Code’s terminal pane now does a better job syncing with your Terminal app settings, and he fixed an issue where exiting a shell would break the terminal pane. In the Terminal app, he improved unsafe paste warning detection for commands that contain newlines, and the search bar now takes up a more appropriate amount of space.

Get These Updates

As always, pop open System Settings → System on elementary OS 8 and hit “Update All” to get these updates plus your regular security, bug fix, and translation updates. Or set up automatic updates and get a notification when updates are ready to install!

Early Access

We landed blur-behind in a couple of more places in Early Access! The Dock is now slightly more transparent and things behind it will be blurred. This improves legibility when for example busy text is behind the dock. And we’ve also merged some updated styles for Notifications including slight transparency, blur-behind, more rounded corners, and softer shadows. Plus Leo cleaned up Notification close animations. If you’re not a fan of transparency and blur effects, you can always turn off “Panel Transparency” in System Settings → Dock & Panel.

Subhadeep has merged in initial support for fingerprint enrollment in User settings. We’re still working out the experience for fingerprint authentication dialogs for example, but if you have a compatible fingerprint reader you should be able to start testing support and send us feedback about what is and isn’t working.

Plus, daily and release candidate quality builds will now use the Secure Session by default. We’ve received a ton of feedback that the updates we’ve made since the release of OS 8 have made the experience of using the Secure session much better than the Classic session for most people, including improved performance and fewer bugs encountered. So we’re really excited to make it the default experience going forward.

Sponsors

At the moment we’re at 24% of our monthly funding goal and 321 Sponsors on GitHub! Shoutouts to everyone helping us reach our goals here. Your monthly sponsorship funds development and makes sure we have the resources we need to give you the best version of elementary OS we can!

Monthly release candidate builds and daily Early Access builds are available to GitHub Sponsors from any tier! Beware that Early Access builds are not considered stable and you will encounter fresh issues when you run them. We’d really appreciate reporting any problems you encounter with the Feedback app or directly on GitHub.

Works with Home Assistant is opening its doors to another new partner who is bringing the first Garage Door Openers and Alarm Panel to the program, all of which are using ESPHome under the hood. Konnected are well known for their devices that let you retrofit new smarts into the devices you already have, allowing you to use them in Home Assistant and keep them working longer.

Getting Konnected

Konnected have been well-known in the Home Assistant community, as they’ve been active members for years. As members of the community, they know how hard it can be to connect the devices that are already built into your home, whether they’re smart or not. That’s why Konnected’s first product was their drop-in replacement alarm panel boards, which allow you to take decades-old wired alarm systems and add them into Home Assistant.

Another challenge the community was facing was garage door openers (GDOs), especially cloud-based openers. In the early days of Home Assistant, the community figured out the APIs for these providers and controlled them that way. Some manufacturers noticed this and put barriers up blocking people from controlling the devices they own, claiming it as “unauthorized usage” 🙄.

The community was naturally incensed, and did what tinkerers tend to do when a cloud gets in their way — they began tinkering with hardware. A community emerged to take back control of these devices, starting with projects like ratgdo, which Konnected used as a base for their work. Today, because of these projects, there are multiple great open source tools to control a large number of these GDOs, ranging from DIY schematics to finished controllers. Konnected has an open source solution which works locally, as well as having the form factor and safety standards to match. Even better, Konnected devices are available in over 60 countries.

For anyone who has used Konnected for quite some time, you’ll notice that they had their own integration, which has now been deprecated in favor of the ESPHome firmware, so that it’s always straightforward to find (or build) the firmware you need. They even publish all their code on GitHub 👏, which allows the community to help them fix issues and add features.

Konnected is another example of ESPHome (a project from the Open Home Foundation) fostering an entirely new ecosystem of Open Home projects. It works fully locally, and it’s perfect for tinkerers, allowing you to build DIY smart home devices yourself (get started with one of our ready-made projects). Konnected also have a thriving community of their own if you have questions or comments.

Creators can also use it to make pre-built, plug-and-play products that give users a really seamless experience. Devices are easily discovered and added to your Wi-Fi network and Home Assistant, along with a one-click update within Home Assistant. To learn more about how Konnected uses ESPHome, look out for Nate on the next ESPHome live stream on October 14!

Remember, the development of projects like ESPHome from the Open Home Foundation is supported by Home Assistant Cloud subscribers and anyone who purchases Home Assistant hardware. While all of Konnected’s devices work locally, if you’re interested in remote access, allowing you to keep tabs on your home’s security when you’re out and about, check out Home Assistant Cloud.

Devices

The Konnected Smart Garage Door Opener blaQ

For anyone new to the Works With Home Assistant program, it’s a way for us to formally certify devices that have been tested by our team, and help you know what works great out of the box with Home Assistant. Any company joining also commits to providing long-term support and firmware updates. Works With Home Assistant is operated by the Open Home Foundation, and the support of Home Assistant Cloud subscribers funds this work. These items were all tested by members of the ESPHome team to see exactly how they function in their own homes.

The Konnected certified devices are listed below:

• Konnected Smart Garage Door Opener blaQ
• Konnected Smart Garage Door Opener White (v2)
• Konnected Alarm Panel Pro

Let’s Konnect

A nice benefit of retrofitting your old wired security system is not needing to maintain loads of battery-powered sensors 🪫. The Alarm Panel Pro has the ability to connect 12 zones (security speak for individual or joined up sensors), it also allows you to connect keypads and sirens, and includes 12V power for the devices that need that. It’s highly customizable, and there’s also plenty of support available if you need help with installation. You can power it using 12V or Power-over-Ethernet, or both! The Alarm Panel Pro is designed to be always-on, and they’ve designed it to consume very little power. This also allows it to easily run for hours on their backup battery.

You’ll also probably be wondering why there are two different variants of the garage door openers, and that’s because each supports a different set of manufacturers. There is a wizard to help you figure out which variant will work with your opener. Between the Konnected GDO blaQ and White, you get support for some of the biggest manufacturers out there, including Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman, Merlin, Genie, Stanley, and more.

Even with the Konnected controlling your garage door opener, you’re still able to use the included remote or the original manufacturer’s app (if you like that kind of torture). The GDO White features a built-in optical laser sensor that detects whether your garage door is open or closed. The GDO blaQ offers control over the opener’s light and lock, and can even partially open the door (for openers that support these features).

As we mentioned at the top, it’s great to have more products added to the program that help people get the most out of the things they already own. A big part of the Open Home Foundation’s mission is sustainability in the smart home, and Konnected are helping our community get longer lasting use of their existing security and garage door systems.

FAQs

Q: If I have a device that is not listed under ‘Works with Home Assistant does this mean it’s not supported?

A: No! It just means that it hasn’t gone through a testing schedule with our team or doesn’t fit the requirements of the program. It might function perfectly well, but has not yet been added to the testing schedule, or it might work under a different connectivity type that we don’t currently test under the program.

Q: Ok, so what’s the point of the Works with program?

A: It highlights the devices we know work well with Home Assistant and the brands that make a long-term commitment to keeping support for these devices going. The certification agreement specifies that the devices must have full functionality within Home Assistant, operate locally without the need for cloud and will continue to do so long-term.

Q: How were these devices tested?

A: All devices in this list were tested using a standard Home Assistant Green Hub with the ESPHome integration. If you have another set-up that’s not a problem, but we test against these as they are the most effective way for our team to certify within our ecosystem.

Q: Will you be adding more Konnected devices to the program?

A: Why not! Konnected are also looking to do some exciting things with Matter soon, so we’re excited to work together on any upcoming releases or add in further products that are not yet listed here.

Boo! 👻

We just celebrated our birthday 🥳, which means it is time for spooky season; get ready for Halloween! And, hello to the October release of Home Assistant 2025.10! 🎃

This release iterates on some of the features we introduced in the last couple of releases, but also introduces some brand-new ones!

The highlight of this release is definitely the iterations of the automation editor, which gained a sidebar last release, and now has gained undo/redo functionality, a resizable sidebar, improved copy/paste, and more! Thanks for all the feedback you provided on the previous release; it made a massive difference in this release.

Using multiple wake words for voice assistants is now possible, which opens up a lot of possibilities, especially for dual-language households (like mine 😉). Dashboards get more intelligent by suggesting entities based on your usage patterns, and the AI Task can now generate images, which I’m curious to see what the community will do with it!

Enjoy the release!

A huge thank you to all the contributors who made this release possible! And a special shout-out to @JLo, @laupalombi, and @piitaya who helped write the release notes this release. Also, @googanhiem, @SeraphicRav, @tronikos, and @richardpolzer for putting effort into tweaking its contents. Thanks to them, these release notes are in great shape. ❤️

Automation editor

In the last release, we introduced a new layout for the automation editor, and your feedback has been invaluable in helping us refine it!

This release fixes a few of the most common issues we managed to gather from all of you. Thanks for all the feedback! ❤️

The sidebar is resizable

Working on an action that is too complex for a small sidebar? Maybe one with a few YAML fields? You can now resize the sidebar to adapt the layout to your current task!

CTRL+V

We previously introduced keyboard shortcuts to copy and cut.

Pasting was more complex to bring to life because you can paste a block (trigger, condition, action) in many different locations in your automation. In this release, we introduce a really simple pattern. If you previously copied a block, you can paste it below any block simply by selecting it and pressing CTRL+V.

Another very simple, but very welcome, quality-of-life improvement to the automation editor!

The overflow menu is back

We initially relocated the overflow menu (the menu that appears when you click the ⋮) with all the options related to a block on the sidebar, thinking this would make the flow cleaner.

Due to popular demand and helpful feedback that some actions were more difficult to reach (such as testing a condition or running an action), we decided to bring it back to the main section of the editor as well.

Undo/Redo

We’ve all been there: you’re building a complex automation, make a mistake, and want to revert it, only to find out that it’s really not simple. Up until now, the only way to revert some unsaved changes made to an automation was to close it and start over again… A very painful workflow.

This release introduces an Undo functionality (and its associated Redo). You can now undo up to 75 steps back in your automation editing history (and redo them if you want). Standard keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+Z and CTRL+Y) are also available! An amazing contribution from @jpbede, thanks!

Repeat repeat repeat repeat

Finally, we noticed some unwanted complexity in our “repeat” building block, which allows you to repeat one or multiple actions for as long as you need to.

This complexity stemmed from the fact that we were trying to cover four main use cases in a single block.

We decided to split this building block into four smaller ones, with simpler descriptions explaining each use case. Nice!

Here’s how they were separated:

• Repeat multiple times - Repeat a sequence of actions a fixed number of times.
• Repeat until - Repeat a sequence of actions until a condition is satisfied. The condition is checked after each run of the sequence.
• Repeat while - Repeat a sequence of actions as long as a condition is satisfied. The condition is checked before each run of the sequence.
• Repeat for each - Repeat a sequence for each element of a list.

Automation editor feedback

AI Task - Draw me a sheep

In 2025.8, we introduced a way to generate data using the LLM of your choice, paving the way to more AI-driven automations, dashboards, and other smart home interactions.

In this release, we introduce a way to generate images!

Now every time someone rings your doorbell, you can receive a notification with a cartoon version of the doorbell snapshot. @JLo has made this example a reality, and here’s his demo with the associated automation!

Image generation is already working great, and we cannot wait to see what you will build with this!

Dashboards get smarter - let your home suggest what to show

In the last release, we introduced the Home dashboard, offering a simpler way to control and monitor your smart home if you don’t have the time, energy, or need to customize your own dashboard in detail.

Now we’ve added a new concept: sections of suggested entities. This follows a basic algorithm that suggests entities you have interacted with the most in the past. It then shows these entities based on the hour of the day, with only relevant controls being suggested.

strategy:
  type: common-controls
  title: Common controls

Voice

Hello, hola

For a very long time, ESPHome-based voice assistants (even the tiny Atom Echo) secretly supported multiple wake words under the hood. With this release, we’re finally opening up this feature to you!

You can now define two wake words and two assistants for every voice assistant in your home!

This makes it straightforward to support dual-language households by assigning different wake words to different languages. For example, “Okay Nabu” could be used for French, while “Hey Jarvis” is used for English.

Multiple wake words and assistants can be used for other purposes as well. Want to keep your local and cloud-based voice assistants separate? Easy! “Okay Nabu” could be used for a cloud-based assistant while “Hey Jarvis” is used for a local one.

We’d love to hear feedback on how you plan to use multiple wake words in your home!

Beep boop

After a voice command, Assist responds with a short confirmation like “Turned on the lights” or “Brightness set”. This lets you know that it understood your command and took the appropriate actions. However, if you’re in the same room as the voice assistant, this confirmation can feel redundant since you can see or hear that the appropriate actions were taken.

Starting with this release, Assist will detect if your voice command’s actions all took place within the same area as the satellite device. If so, a short confirmation “beep” will be played instead of the full verbal response. Besides being less verbose, this also serves as a quick reminder that your voice command only affected the current area.

This is a huge achievement for these integrations and their maintainers. The effort and dedication required to reach these quality levels is significant, as it involves extensive testing, documentation, error handling, and often complete rewrites of parts of the integration.

A big thank you to all the contributors involved! 👏

Now available to set up from the UI

While most integrationsIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more. [Learn more] can be set up directly from the Home Assistant user interface, some were only available using YAML configuration. We keep moving more integrations to the UI, making them more accessible for everyone to set up and use.

The following integrations are now available via the Home Assistant UI:

• Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), done by @heindrichpaul
• Satel Integra, done by @Tommatheussen

Other noteworthy changes

There are many more improvements in this release; here are some of the other noteworthy changes:

• The “Logbook” has been renamed to “Activity” in the UI. This better reflects its purpose of showing a timeline of activities and events in your Home Assistant instance.
• Matter continues to expand with occupancy sensing hold time, climate running state for heat/cool fans, and thermostat outdoor temperature sensors! Great contributions from @lboue and @virtualbitzz!
• Lawn mower entities now support start mowing and dock intents for better voice control! Thanks, @piitaya!
• The analog clock we introduced last release got some more options! You can now enable a smooth motion for the seconds hand. Beautiful, @timmo001!
• Need the version of the Home Assistant Mobile Companion App you are using? If you have installed the latest versions of our apps, the version is now shown on the about page in the settings menu! Nice one, @TimoPtr!
• The thermostat card now supports water heater entities. Thanks, @karwosts!
• Thanks to @cr7pt0gr4ph7, the add-on configuration UI has gotten support for more complex configurations; this means you will get a better experience when configuring add-ons with more complex options (like lists or user accounts). Well done!
• Talking about add-ons, we now include switch entities for those, making it easier to control your add-ons. Thanks, @felipecrs!
• Using a webhook trigger in your automation? You can now make it even more dynamic by using a template for the webhook_id. Thanks, @RoboMagus!
• We now have support for MCF (1000 Cubic Feet) as an alternate unit of measure for volume, thanks to @ekobres, @xtimmy86x added m/min for speed sensors, and @pioto added inH₂O pressure unit support. Nice!

New more information dialog for media player entities

This one, we have @jpbede and @matthiasdebaat to thank for! The ‘more information’ dialogs for media players have a revamped design, offering a cleaner and more intuitive interface.

Sync zooming charts in the history panel

When you have multiple charts in the history panel, zooming in on one chart will now automatically zoom in on all other charts as well. This makes it easier to compare data across different entities. Well done, @birrejan!

Template & YAML editors get a toolbar

@TCWORLD has contributed a toolbar for the YAML and template code editors in our UI. This solves an issue where the previous floating button would float over the content of the editor and obscure it from view.

The new toolbar also includes undo and redo buttons, bringing the same convenient undo and redo functionality we introduced for the automation editor to these code editors as well. Plus, there’s a nice little copy button to quickly copy your code! Nice!

Patch releases

We will also release patch releases for Home Assistant 2025.10 in October. These patch releases only contain bug fixes. Our goal is to release a patch release once a week, aiming for Friday.

OpenSubtitles download error 406

Subtitle downloads from OpenSubtitles may fail depending on time of day. This is due to our daily download quota being exceeded. Current amount of donations is barely enough to pay for the existing quota. So it is unlikely that quota can be increased and situation will get worse over time.
If you create an OpenSubtitles account and configure it in MPC-HC settings then you may be able to bypass the quota.

Overview of features

A lot of people seem to be unaware of some of the awesome features that have been added to MPC-HC in the past years. Here is a list of useful options and features that everyone should know about:

• Play HDR video
  This requires using either MPC Video Renderer (MPCVR) or madVR.
  These renderers can be selected here:
  Options > Playback > Output
  With other video renderers, the colors will be wrong!
  MPCVR is now included and is the recommended renderer for modern systems. MadVR needs to be installed separately. MPCVR also supports Dolby Vision. MadVR does not.
  For optimal performance you should change the hardware decoder to D3D11 in LAV Video Decoder settings when using MPCVR on Windows 10/11, because this renderer uses DirectX11.
• The installer of MPC-HC is very basic (and that will not change).
  I therefore recommend using K-Lite Codec Pack. That includes MPC-HC and other essential components. It has a very advanced installation that can automatically create file associations, and helps you with easy configuration of important MPC-HC settings.
  The Standard version should be sufficient for most people. Use Full version of you like to use MadVR.
• Modern GUI Theme (Dark or Light)
  Options > Player > User Interface
  It is also possible to change the height of the seekbar and size of the toolbar buttons.
• Video preview on the seekbar
  Options > Player > User Interface > Hover type
• Ability to search for subtitles
  Press D for manual search.
  Or enable automatic search in: Options > Subtitles > Misc
• Adjust playback speed
  Menu > Play > Playback rate
  The buttons in the player that control playback rate take a 2x step by default. This can be customized to smaller values (like 10%):
  Options > Playback > Speed step
  Adjusting playback speed works best with the internal audio renderer. This also has automatic pitch correction.
  Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer
• MPC-HC can remember playback position, so you can resume from that point later
  Options > Player > History
• You can quickly seek through a video with Ctrl + Mouse Scrollwheel.
• You can jump to next/previous file in a folder by pressing PageUp/PageDown.
• You can perform automatic actions at end of file. For example to go to next file or close player.
  Options > Playback > After Playback (permanent setting)
  Menu > Play > After Playback (for current file only)
• A-B repeat
  You can loop a segment of a video. Press [ and ] to set start and stop markers.
• You can rotate/flip/mirror/stretch/zoom the video
  Menu > View > Pan&Scan
  This is also easily done with hotkeys (see below).
• There are lots of keyboard hotkeys and mouse actions to control the player. They can be customized as well.
  Options > Player > Keys
  Tip: there is a search box above the table.
• You can stream videos directly from Youtube and many other video websites
  Put yt-dlp.exe in the MPC-HC installation folder.
  Then you can open website URLs in the player: Menu > File > Open File/URL
  You can even download those videos: Menu > File > Save a copy
  Tip: to be able to download in best quality with yt-dlp, it is recommended to also put ffmpeg.exe in the MPC-HC folder.
  Several YDL configuration options are found here: Options > Advanced
  This includes an option to specify the location of yt-dlp.exe in case you don't want to put it in MPC-HC folder.
  Note 1: You also need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
  Note 2: yt-dlp nightly build (very latest version made daily)
  Note 3: yt-dlp win7 compatible build
• Besides all these (new) features, there have also been many bugfixes and internal improvements in the player in the past years that give better performance and stability. It also has updated internal codecs. Support was added for CUE sheets, WebVTT subtitles, etc.

VIENNA, Austria – October 01, 2025 – Leading open-source server solutions provider Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH (henceforth “Proxmox”), celebrating its 20th year of innovation, today announced the release of Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.0. Main highlight of the updated email security solution is its modernized core now built upon Debian 13 “Trixie”, ensuring a robust foundation for the open-source platform.

Available in the market since 2005, the anti-spam and antivirus filtering solution Proxmox Mail Gateway functions as a full-featured mail proxy, deployed between the firewall and the internal mail server. It protects organizations against threats such as spam, viruses, Trojans, and phishing emails.

Highlights in Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.0

Debian 13 “Trixie” at the core

This core update brings the latest Debian 13 “Trixie” release as foundation for Proxmox Mail Gateway including newer packages, improved hardware support, and enhanced security. Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.0 is using a newer Linux kernel 6.14 as stable default, enhancing hardware compatibility and performance. Also, updates to the latest versions of leading open-source technologies for email security like ClamAV 1.4.3 and SpamAssassin 4.0.2 are included. For existing users of version 8.2 , an extensively tested and detailed upgrade path is available to enable a smooth upgrade.

Redesigned quarantine interface for mobile

Users can now manage quarantined messages with a completely rebuilt interface optimized for mobile devices. Developed with the Rust-based Yew framework, the new quarantine UI replaces the previous implementation and provides a faster, cleaner, and more user-friendly experience on smartphones and tablets.

More flexible authentication and SSO

The single sign-on (SSO) and authentication realm features, first introduced in version 8.2, have been significantly improved and expanded. OpenID Connect realms are now fully configurable via the graphical user interface, including claim mappings and default role assignment for auto-provisioned users. This allows seamless integration with popular identity and access management solutions such as Keycloak, Zitadel, or LemonLDAP::NG.

Security enhancements and refined filtering

This version incorporates multiple hardening measures. The Content-Type filtering engine has been adjusted to support the updated MIME type definitions for Microsoft executables, ensuring these high-risk files continue to be reliably blocked.

Availability

Proxmox Mail Gateway 9.0 is available now for download. The ISO image contains the complete feature-set and can be quickly installed on bare-metal using the installation wizard. Upgrades from version 8.2 to 9.0 are supported and a detailed migration guide is available. It is also possible to install the solution on top of Debian or as a container appliance inside Proxmox VE.

Proxmox Mail Gateway is free and open-source software, published under the GNU AGPLv3. For enterprise users, Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH offers a subscription-based support model, which provides access to the extensively tested Enterprise Repository, as well as technical support. Subscription prices start at EUR 180 per host, per year, for unlimited users and domains. The Enterprise Repository provides regular updates via the web interface, and is recommended for production use.
