Apple TV-Inspired Grid View Hero Redesign
- Native Apple TV-Style Hero Showcase: Completely overhauled the hero slideshow in Home Grid View (
TVGridHeroSlideshowView) with full-bleed cinematic artwork, dynamic typography, responsive action controls, and fluid focus handoff designed to mirror the native Apple TV interface. - Fluid Grid Navigation & Focus Memory: Polished scroll tracking and focus restoration between the top hero carousel and multi-column catalog grids for buttery-smooth navigation.
Enhanced Rewatch Tracking & Dynamic Multi-Watch Badges
- Multi-Watch Count Indicators: Rewatching content now visually tracks your completion count directly on poster cards (
WatchedCheckmarkPresentation). The first complete watch displays a clean checkmark, while subsequent rewatches dynamically present the watch count (2,3, etc.). - Accurate Rewatch Preservation: Hardened watch history ledger and sync resolution to preserve rewatch counts across Trakt, Simkl, WeTrakr, and local profiles without losing progress markers.
Search Artwork Enrichment & Custom Addon Posters
- Add-on Artwork Preservation: Search result deduplication and metadata enrichment now recognize third-party catalog feeds, preserving custom posters, backdrops, and card aspect ratios instead of erroneously overwriting them with generic Cinemeta assets.
- Configurable Search Artwork Preference: Added
preferAddonArtworkInSearchsettings toggle with full test coverage for seamless search discovery.
Player Subtitle Menu & UI Polish
- Streamlined Subtitle Track Selector: Overhauled
PlayerSubtitleMenuButtonandSubtitleMenuFormatterwith hierarchical language grouping, sanitized provider tags, clean track subtitles, and instant selection feedback. - Playback Controls & Lifecycle Hardening: Refined loading spinner overlays, benchmark completion callbacks, and startup engine warmup for near-instant playback readiness.
Tests & Stability
- 791 automated unit and regression tests passing with 0 failures across playback backends, stream caching, subtitle rendering, sync services, and layout settings.
Known issues
- Picture in Picture requires a supported Apple TV 4K / tvOS 15+ device.
- Physical Apple TV playback, HDMI/HDR/Dolby Vision, AirPlay receivers, Atmos hardware, and live-TV paths still need real-device validation; the Apple TV Simulator cannot play AV1.
