What’s new
Version 1.7.9 · Updated October 28, 2026
Keep playing through dead spots. Turn on Settings > Offline > Keep Playing Offline and LyrPlay saves the next songs in your queue, then plays them if the connection drops, in a tunnel or a dead spot. Lock screen, CarPlay and headphone controls keep working. When the network returns, your server picks up where you are. Saved songs also play from the phone when you are online, so a short dropout no longer interrupts the music. HTTPS support. LyrPlay now works with servers behind an HTTPS reverse proxy, including remote access and self-signed certificates. Thanks to Magnus Ihse Bursie for the contribution. Redesigned Settings and setup. New Fixed Output and ReplayGain options, a clearer Server page, and a cleaner first-run setup with the server password and HTTPS options right on the server step. CarPlay: Play Hits for an artist or album, Go to Artist from Now Playing, and long lists you can page through in any car. Playback fixes: reconnects after Wi-Fi drops and network changes are faster and no longer restart the song; tracks are no longer cut short when the server is slow to start the next one; plain http:// radio stations play again; audio recovers after iOS resets its media services; the Material screen recovers at once after a dropout instead of showing a disconnected icon. Pause takes effect at once on a weak signal, slow connections rebuffer instead of stuttering, and CarPlay Resume Playback starts at the first press. Fixed a launch hang on "Loading Material Interface".
