⚠️ If game images don't load after updating, re-run the Quick Setup and make sure your scripts folder is pointing to your ES-DE application data directory ~ES-DE/scripts and ensure both script options are enabled in ES-DE settings.

🎮 Gameplay & Screensaver Enhancement Release

Control what displays during gameplay and screensavers

🎮 Game Launch Display

New setting lets you choose what shows while games are running:

  • Black - Minimal distraction, plain black screen
  • Default Image - Default wallpaper background + game marquee
  • Game Image - Full game artwork + marquee

Features:

  • Videos automatically stop during gameplay
    • ⚠️ If videos are enabled and you return to Android home the game will essentially send the game-end event and video playback will resume playing and persist when returning to the game. If you multi-task a lot like this then it may be better to not enable videos until a better solution is found.
  • Works for games launched on same or different screens
  • Live updates - change setting while game is running!
  • Smart duplicate event filtering

🌙 Screensaver Display

New setting lets you choose what shows during ES-DE screensavers:

  • Black - Plain black screen
  • Default Image - Default wallpaper background + current marquee
  • Game Image - Screensaver game artwork (slideshow/video only)

Features:

  • Videos blocked during screensaver
  • Live updates - change setting while screensaver is active!

📁 Important Path Changes

Scripts and logs moved for SD card compatibility:

New locations:

  • Logs: /storage/emulated/0/ES-DE Companion/logs/
  • Script prefix: esdecompanion-

Migration: Automatic! App will detect old paths and initiate quick setup to migrate.

📊 What's New Under the Hood

  • 7 event scripts (up from 2): game-select, system-select, game-start, game-end, screensaver-start, screensaver-end, screensavergameselect
  • Dual video blocking: Window focus detection + game state tracking
  • Smart state management: Tracks browsing, gameplay, and screensaver states independently
