Release notes

New features, fixes, and infrastructure improvements across WatchAnimeX.

Latest

Server 12 Multi is back

Server 12 now resolves its own multi-audio stream instead of depending on an outside lookup service, so it is online again — faster, with Hindi pre-selected.

  • Server 12 Multi is live again after its outage.
  • The outage was caused by a third-party lookup service in the middle of the chain returning errors. Server 12 now resolves its multi-audio stream directly on our own infrastructure, so that dependency can no longer take it down.
  • Every Server 12 episode is a single 1080p stream carrying Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, English and Japanese audio, switchable from the player's audio menu.
  • Hindi audio is now pre-selected on Server 12 instead of starting on Japanese.
  • Server 12 appears only under the MULTI audio filter now, because every track it returns is multi-audio. Previously it could be listed under SUB and DUB with nothing playable behind it.
  • Server 12 episodes start quicker: an extra metadata lookup and repeated retries against an unreachable backend were removed from every request.
  • Retired the Server 12 sub-and-dub backend that had stopped responding, along with two other sources that only worked through the removed lookup service.
  • Video and audio still travel through our own proxy, with playback links generated fresh for each request.
  • Intro and outro skip markers are unavailable on Server 12 for now, as its current source does not publish them. Auto Skip continues to work on the other servers.
  • The home page service notice now reports Server 12 as restored.
  • The catalog stays reachable during upstream AniList disruptions: exhausted request budgets are now reported as a typed upstream error, so the AniCore fallback takes over instead of surfacing a generic failure.

Personalization and reliability

A calmer default canvas, clearer theme controls, and stronger update behavior.

  • Background and accent choices now live together in the Theme menu.
  • Open tabs receive new deployments without stale assets blocking navigation.
  • Immutable asset caching improves repeat visits without hiding new builds.
