@@ -73,6 +73,7 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
 - Fix multi-part episode grouping logic so that it does NOT require release date metadata for episodes within a single show
   - When **Treat Collections As Shows** is enabled (i.e. for crossover episodes) release date metadata is required for proper grouping
 - Fix *many* cases of duplicate names; enforce case-insensitive unique names at the db schema level
+- Fix playback when using `ETV_BASE_URL` by @JamesDearlove
 
 ### Changed
 - No longer round framerate to nearest integer when normalizing framerate
