    New features

    • All ratings the server sent are shown: IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and TMDB side by side
    • Local profiles borrow the picture of the connection they were linked to first
    • File Info now works on music tracks and other file-backed items
    • A two-finger tap toggles playback without raising the chrome

    Playback

    • A picked subtitle language carries across episodes again, including untagged tracks
    • Subtitles turned off, hidden or cycled stay off in the next episode
    • Jellyfin's subtitle mode of None is no longer overridden by default or forced tracks
    • Plex sidecar subtitles work again on Android
    • Auto buffer size on Android is sized from the device heap, fixing passthrough black screens
    • A server that cannot read the media file now says so, instead of a redacted URL
    • Live TV keeps retrying when a stream 404s
    • Jellyfin streams the negotiated version on items with alternate versions
    • The TV player opens with its chrome down
    • Backspace and Home edit text again in player sheets, such as subtitle search
    • Both player spinners are labelled for screen readers
    • Pinching back to 100% zoom now snaps exactly
    • The two-finger double tap no longer resets zoom; that stays in the settings sheet
    • Plex no longer records a second play for one watch
    • mpv no longer loads its yt-dlp hook, so failed opens are faster
    • A track's lyric stream is no longer listed under "Embedded Images"

    Search, Explore & libraries

    • Hidden libraries no longer appear in global search, on Plex or Jellyfin
    • Explore lists every library copy of a title, each labelled with its resolution
    • Explore's popular shelves show worldwide titles again, not just the app language
    • "Delete from server" on Jellyfin follows the server's own permission, not the admin bit
    • Instant Mix uses a wand icon instead of faders that read as an equalizer

    Performance

    • The Discover tab loads once per cold start, not twice: 5.2s to 2.5s on Jellyfin
    • Show detail paints before its on-deck episode is looked up: 18% faster on Jellyfin
    • Opening a detail screen no longer issues duplicate requests

    Startup & storage

    • A failed launch names the phase, error and stack, with copy and upload actions
    • Desktop preference stores are written atomically, so a crash cannot truncate them
    • A damaged store can be repaired in place, and the screen leads with the repair
    • A store whose bytes are not valid UTF-8 is now repairable too
    • After a repair needing a restart, Retry is withdrawn rather than reopening a stale store
    • A preference whose stored type no longer matches defaults instead of failing the boot
    • Startup failures reach the crash reporter and Settings > Logs

    Android

    • Pushed screens end clear of the 3-button navigation bar
