Changes

What is New

Medium-sized update, expanding on the app customizations, updating the Details page and OSD icons, fixing some annoying issues, adding new settings for better ux.

Notes & Recommendations

• This update changed how auth works, it now uses header authentication rather than including api_key with every request because it's deprecated, this may cause issues to some users, specially any one who uses emby with litefin, will fix it in the next update hopefully, if the app doesn't work for you with this update please open an issue.
• Highly recommend trying out the new button customizations to make LiteFin to your liking.
• The new option to fully await the audio track and subtitle track (off by default) is highly recommended, it will increase initial loading times, but makes sure everything is ready before starting playback. Note that if subtitle tracks need extraction, this may cause extreme waiting times.
• Next update will focus on bug fixes, if you are facing any annoying bugs or issues this is your best time to report them.
