Added

  • Universal Audio Extraction & Transcoding: Added FFmpeg native audio transcoding engine (libswresample) converting multi-channel cinema audio tracks (E-AC-3, AC-3, DTS, TrueHD) into universal stereo M4A (AAC) playable on 100% of Android devices, car stereos, and third-party music players.
  • Audio Extraction Format Selector: Added format toggle in Audio Track Bottom Sheet allowing users to choose between Universal M4A (default) and untouched Original Stream copies.
  • Decoder Error Recovery: Added automatic decoder failure recovery in the media player and twin window player prompting users to convert unsupported cinema audio formats (E-AC-3, DTS) to Universal M4A with one tap and immediately resume playback.
  • SVGZ Vector Image Support: Added native decompression and rendering support for gzipped SVG (.svgz) vector graphics across the image viewer, file icons, and archive tools.
  • Universal "Open As..." Chooser: Added a modal picker featuring 9 file modalities (Text Document, Hex Dump, Presentation, Spreadsheet, Image, Audio, Video, Archive, External App Chooser) with a direct "Zero Dead-Ends" fallback whenever an unsupported or ambiguous file format is tapped.
  • Native Presentation Viewer: Added an integrated presentation viewer (PresentationViewerActivity) supporting both .pptx and legacy .ppt slides with slide reordering, slide thumbnails, speaker notes drawer, TV D-Pad navigation, and full-screen slideshow presentation mode on Mobile and Android TV.
  • Subtitle Syntax Highlighting & Viewing: Built native subtitle highlighting and editing into TextViewerActivity via LanguageRegistry.Subtitle, supporting .srt, .vtt, .ass, .ssa, .sub, .lrc, .smi, .sami, .ttml, .sbv, and .dfxp.
  • FFmpeg Stream Details & Multi-Track Extraction: Added native FFmpeg media stream inspection in file properties (FilePropertiesBottomSheet) displaying container format, bitrates, video resolution/FPS/codecs, audio channels/sample rates, and subtitle languages. Added one-tap lossless audio extraction and subtitle track demuxing directly from the selection Tools FAB and Floating Quick Action Bar.
  • Multi-Track Audio Stream Extraction & Selection: Inspect multi-audio video files with a dedicated track selection dialog showing localized languages, channel layouts (Stereo, 5.1/7.1 Surround), codec badges, and batch "Extract All Audio Tracks" option across Mobile and Android TV.
  • Multi-Track Subtitle Stream Extraction & Selection: Track selection modal for extracting individual subtitle tracks or batch extracting all tracks with language suffixes.
  • Media Operation Progress Dialog: Translucent UFMStandard progress dialog providing visual feedback during video conversion, subtitle extraction, and audio extraction.
  • Toolbar & Quick Action Bar Synchronization: Synchronized open_with, open_as, extract_subtitles, and extract_audio across all browser environments (FileBrowserActivity, FileBrowserFragment, NetworkBrowserActivity, NetworkBrowserFragment, and RecentFilesActivity) with full user customizability in ToolbarIconsActivity.
  • Raw AC-3/E-AC-3 Seekable Playback: Added SeekableAc3Extractor enabling seekbar scrubbing and duration display for raw .ac3, .eac3, and .ec3 audio files by parsing syncframe headers, publishing a ConstantBitrateSeekMap, and adjusting sample timestamps via ForwardingTrackOutput after seek operations.

Changed

  • Comprehensive MIME & Extension Registry: Expanded MimeTypeHelper canonical mapping dictionary to cover over 500+ file extensions across modern, legacy, retro, geospatial, and industrial formats.
  • Hex Inspector Modality: Added EXTRA_FORCE_HEX support in TextViewerActivity to allow raw hexadecimal inspection and editing of any file type or binary asset directly from "Open As...".

Fixed

  • Cinema Audio Routing & Recognition: Fixed .eac3, .ec3, .ac3, .dts, .dtshd, .truehd, and .mka not being recognized as native audio files in the file viewer router, icon provider, and sort filters.
  • MKV Audio Extraction Failure: Fixed remuxing failure on MKV files with AC3, E-AC3, and DTS audio streams by adding native codec container mapping, Matroska Audio (.mka) container fallback, and C-level packet timestamp normalization.
  • Subtitles & PPTX Format Routing: Fixed subtitle files failing with "No app found to open this file type" and PowerPoint files opening erroneously as raw XML text in the text viewer.
  • E-AC-3 Playback & Duration Detection: Fixed raw E-AC-3 (.eac3, .ec3) files showing 0:00 duration and failing to play by enabling constant-bitrate seeking in UfmExtractorsFactory, adding FFmpeg-based duration fallback in UFMPlaybackService, and implementing proactive/reactive codec failure recovery with automatic decoder fallback prompts.
  • AC-3/E-AC-3 Seeking Failure: Fixed seeking not working in raw AC-3 and E-AC-3 files caused by the syncframe header buffer missing the 0x0B77 syncword required by Ac3Util.parseAc3SyncframeInfo(), an undersized 16-byte header buffer insufficient for E-AC-3 parsing, and an incorrect C.TIME_UNSET length comparison preventing the ConstantBitrateSeekMap from being published.
