Rtorrent 16 16.27-12M

Major​

• CA certificates now keep themselves current. Each release ships the newest Mozilla list of trusted certificate authorities (in this one, the list of 2026-11-05), and once a day the NAS asks curl.se whether a newer list exists. A newer list replaces the old one only after its checksum matches and every certificate in it can be read. rtorrent, the panel and curl trust this list instead of the firmware's, and an upgrade no longer puts back the list of the first install.
• Guides › Media studio: AI subtitle translation and an AI voice-over, step by step. A new section, in English and Polish, from the API keys to the saved MKV, with figures drawn from the studio's own windows.
• Files › Subtitles: each service is a badge. The five subtitle services show as one row of badges with the state's colour, an icon and the number of subtitles found. Tap or hover a badge for the full sentence.

Major​

• Captions you made in the Media studio are saved again. A captions track without a clip (made by Transcribe to Captions, its translation, or Add captions track) was left out of Save as MKV… and Export… without a word. It is now saved and exported like any other track.
• QuTS hero: the studio no longer stops for memory it can get. Waveforms, captions, key frames and preview copies waited while the ZFS cache held the memory, although the NAS gives that cache back on request. Rtorrent 16 now counts the part of the ZFS cache the NAS can give back as free memory.

Minor​

• QuTS hero: the Dashboard's Processor and memory card shows the ZFS cache as its own part of the memory chart.
• The support report of Diagnostics keeps the panel's web server settings as they are shipped.

Major​

• rtorrent's session now keeps the newest save of a torrent when several come at once. This is a fix from rtorrent's author, carried on our version of rtorrent, so a moved or finished torrent is found in its new folder after a power cut.

Minor​

• Settings › Files & storage › Speech service: under each API key field, Create a key at OpenAI and Create a key at ElevenLabs open the service's key page in a new tab.

Major​

• Moving torrents waits until rtorrent has saved the new place. Each torrent's move finishes only after rtorrent's session file names its new folder. Before, an older save could land last, and after a power cut before rtorrent's next automatic save, rtorrent could look for the files in the old folder. If rtorrent does not confirm the save within 20 seconds, the move still finishes and the System Logs say so.
• The Rtorrent 16 intro is off unless you switch it on: Profile › Login › Rtorrent 16 intro at sign-in.

Minor​

• The profile, the language and Sign out at the foot of the menu share one height, one font and one column for their icons.
• Midnight: its lines shoot up from the bottom edge of the page.
• The Search tile on the Launcher says what it searches.
• Popups have one frame in every theme.
• The Download, Upload, Torrents and Disk tiles on the Dashboard have an edge, like the panels beside them.
• Leaving the Media studio while the NAS still works on the film asks first, also before you have changed anything. The question also lists the Transcribe to Captions, Read Captions Aloud and Translate Captions jobs you started: Keep running leaves them, Stop ends them.
• Translate Captions no longer fails when the translation joins or splits a caption's lines; the NAS wraps the lines itself.
• When an installation pauses a running job, the "Paused …" line always reaches the System Logs.

Major​

• Saving to MKV in the Media studio with an imported subtitle file works again. Since 16.27-12E, Save as MKV… stopped with an error when the project had a captions file added with Import…. The save now finishes, with the captions' styles kept and a font you imported attached to the file.

Major​

• Translate Captions in the Media studio. Right-click a captions track and choose Translate Captions…: the NAS translates the captions into the language you pick with your own OpenAI key (or another OpenAI-compatible service) and adds them as a new track under the old one, at the same times and with the same styles. Only the text of the captions leaves the NAS.
• ElevenLabs as a second voice service. With your own ElevenLabs key (Settings › Files & storage › Speech service), the studio reads captions aloud in a voice of your account and turns a clip's speech into captions. With both keys saved, you choose which service does which.
• Preview copies of HDR films in the Media studio work again. Since 16.27-12E a preview copy of an HDR film (HDR10, HLG, Dolby Vision) ended at once with "The job ended unexpectedly." It is made again.

Minor​

• When the Media studio asks on leaving, Keep running now keeps the work going in the background, and Files opens only after your answer.
• A waveform, key frames and captions no longer wait for a preview copy. On a test NAS, a waveform asked for during a 2160p HDR preview copy was ready 2.9 s later; before, it waited until the copy had ended.
• A track longer than 12 hours says at once why it gets no waveform.
• Clearer network and certificate texts: the help of the UPnP and PCP / NAT-PMP switches names every port they ask the router for (TCP port 80 for the certificate too), and the certificate card says its last failure in one plain sentence.

Major​

• Updates no longer wait for a running unpack. Before it stops Rtorrent 16, an update now pauses the package's own jobs (an unpack, a Files copy or move, a conversion, the MKV tools, a save from the Media studio). Once the installer has finished, they go on from where they stopped. On a test NAS with a slow disk, an update during an unpack kept rtorrent down for 27 s instead of 145 s; the unpacked file was complete.
• Background jobs button. While something works in the background, a button with a ring and the number of jobs stands in the top bar's corner, and in the Media studio's header. Its list names each job, says how far it is, and has Stop for each one.
• Clearer reasons in Send to Media library and Scraper history. Each reason now names both copies with their values, for example "This download is 720p and the copy in the library is 1080p, so the library copy stays."

Minor​

• On a phone, a row's last figure (a ratio, a time, Refresh) stays on its line instead of dropping to a line of its own.
• Media studio: a project file that is deleted or moved stops its own work. The waveform grows while the NAS reads the sound. Three workspaces (Editing, Timeline, Captions, also Alt+Shift+1 to 3) and a captions panel you can widen by its edge. Discard changes shows an eraser. Two more Casino Royale looks, in Alegreya Sans and Proza Libre. With your own speech service, a captions track can be transcribed and read aloud while the film plays.
• The blocklist accepts lists in CIDR format. When automatic port forwarding is off, the certificate run no longer asks the router for port 80, and the Security page says to forward TCP 80 by hand.

Major​

• Convert: a smaller window. One Format list puts the formats you used last for that kind of file under Recently used. A picture's size is width × height in pixels with the aspect ratio kept, or a percent, and the window shows the pixels it will get. Advanced has Remove metadata (EXIF, XMP, GPS) and Remove colour profile for pictures, and Fixed bitrate instead of quality and Frame rate for films.
• Two new themes, Chase and Midnight. Chase is dark grey, with warm and cyan rings spreading out from the centre. Midnight is silver by day and midnight blue by night, with a wave of light along the bottom of the page. Both scenes can also be picked as a wallpaper under any theme.
• Media studio: a 5.1 or 7.1 sound track shows its single channels on the timeline, each with Mute, Solo and Gain; a channel can also play another audio track instead of its own sound, or mixed with it. A SubRip captions track can take the Casino Royale Track Style in Cronos Pro, or the same look in Lato or Montserrat. You can type new captions on an empty captions track, Info lists the film's fonts, and a cut film now starts with its sound in sync.

Minor​

• Windows that ask you to choose put their answers in one row of buttons at the bottom, on a phone too, and every window shows a sign for what it is: a question, a warning, information or its tool.
• The pictures in the guides of Quick access, the torrent list, the player and several Settings cards are drawn by the panel's own components and match what you see.

Major​

• Send to Media library: a finished film or episode now goes to the Media library from its row in Quick access or the Full view (Send to Media library… in the row's menu). The window shows the plan first and changes nothing until you apply it. When the library already has the title, it shows both copies; Replace in library puts the new copy in its place and moves the old one to the library's trash (Undo in Scraper history brings it back), and Keep both keeps a film's second copy beside the first. The torrent keeps seeding.
• Media studio: editing tools on a toolbar, zoom with the mouse wheel, Keyboard Shortcuts, an Info panel, Lock track, Audio Gain with Fade In and Fade Out in the preview and in the saved file, frame steps and Audio Meters. Import… brings in captions, a font, chapters or another file's tracks, and Match to Film lines an imported soundtrack up with the film. Captions are drawn by the NAS and can be edited in place.

Minor​

• With UPnP only, Rtorrent 16 checks the router's port mappings every five minutes and adds back any the router lost, for example after a router restart.
• Panels show their edge in every theme that draws one; in Lime, Slate, Dracula, Nord, Solarized and several other themes the line was too faint to see.
• The guides follow the current panel, in English and Polish.

Major​

• Multichannel sound in Convert: a film's 5.1 or 7.1 sound no longer has to become stereo. The Convert window has a Sound part: MP4 with AAC, AC-3 up to 640 kbit/s or E-AC-3 up to 1536 kbit/s, WebM with Opus, with the channels as in the source or stereo. MKV tools write AC-3 and E-AC-3 too. When a track is mixed down to fewer channels, its levels are lowered so the sound does not clip.
• All public sources: the Public sources card on the Trackers page starts with one switch. While it is off, no search asks a public site, whether it comes from the panel, WhatsApp, Telegram or the shell, and your tracker accounts work as before. Each source keeps its own setting for when you turn the switch back on.
• The bot's search answers in time: a WhatsApp or Telegram search on a NAS with the Search add-on now gets the add-on's results. It asks every source at once, your tracker accounts too, and answers with what arrived within 12 seconds.
• Media studio: the waveform now draws on a NAS that uses swap. Your changes stay when you leave the studio and it tells you so when you come back; Ctrl+Z still undoes them, and Discard changes drops them.

Minor​

• A series that was identified through TheTVDB now shows its poster in Quick access, the Full view and Search.
• Files messages say what happened to your files and what to do next. A tool's own output goes to the service log (Diagnostics, Logs) instead of the job's card.
