43 PRs since v0.15.0-beta.2. This is a player-focused release: D-pad scrubbing and remote navigation on Android TV, native bitmap subtitle rendering during playback, per-show subtitle memory across devices, in-app release track switching, and frosted glass OSD styling.
Upgrade notes
- Two additive migrations: the player remembers subtitle choices per show across episodes and devices via a new preferences table, and subtitle acquisition language is separated into
downloads.subtitle_language(subtitles.subtitle_languagenow controls default playback) (#869)
Player
- Android TV gains D-pad scrubbing with hold-to-accelerate seeking, thumbnail previews, and a focusable timeline (#865)
- Android TV D-pad navigation reaches the sidebar and Home hero, traps focus in open dialogs, and trims unneeded touch controls from the playback OSD while keeping it open during remote input (#845, #846)
- Bitmap subtitles (PGS, VobSub, DVB, XSUB) render natively during HLS streaming and direct play (#861)
- Subtitle selections persist across quality switches and source fallbacks without racing background file transitions (#855, #860)
- Auto quality mode optimistically attempts direct play and remembers recent stalls per connection path instead of falling back on throttled EWMA bandwidth estimates (#856)
- Seeking or closing a stream cancels the upstream byte-range download immediately rather than spooling discarded data to disk (#841)
- Large TV seasons load reliably over P2P by trimming unused fields under the response cap, and media segment requests no longer block on database liveness updates (#829, #830)
- Web player streams HLS through hls.js to fix mid-file resume freezes, and renders HTML5 video track cues so subtitles display and toggle properly (#867, #868)
- Player UI adopts consistent frosted glass styling across all on-screen surfaces, replacing Material SnackBars with a content-aware glass toast notification layer (#858, #862)
- A live Stats for nerds overlay displays real-time playback metrics (resolution, bitrate, dropped frames, buffer health, link path) with a one-click debug copy button (#852)
- The calendar gains a 7-day week view with device layout memory, and reserves bottom clearance so the mobile dock no longer obscures entries or settings (#842, #843)
- Player remote control works end-to-end across peers, and the ambient device scan only probes online devices to prevent periodic connection storms (#832, #836)
- Reconnecting a stored casting session preserves show context, and local playback stops displaying remote casting banners (#835, #837, #838)
- Fixed player crashes caused by GraphQL timeout retries, auto-recovered corrupted playback memory boxes, and stopped up-next from jumping to S1E1 after completing a special (#833, #839)
- The player can follow Stable, Beta, or Dev release tracks, enabling in-app switching and automatic self-updates on Android (#848)
- Upgraded the player to Flutter 3.47.4, enabling Impeller rendering by default on Linux and Windows (#864)
- On-demand and release player workflows package Android APK artifacts reliably, gate Play Store uploads on credentials, and publish dev builds to Cloudflare R2 (#834, #850, #871)
Library and search
- Library sections and media pages display storage size for TV shows and seasons, support sorting by size on disk, and format sizes above 1 TB correctly (#844, #847)
- Automatic release intake shadows a strict release identity check alongside title matching to prevent mismatched downloads for short or air-dated titles (#857)
Under the hood
- The P2P core event loop is fully asynchronous, dispatching outbound requests and HLS stream writes into dedicated concurrent workers to eliminate head-of-line blocking (#831)
- SQLite prepared-statement destructors in Exqlite avoid blocking connection locks during busy waits, preventing 30-second VM freezes (#828)
- The Cloudflare Worker metadata relay supports KV-driven traffic cutover with shadow comparison, and caches routing config to minimize KV reads (#853, #863)
- Upgraded toolchain to Elixir 1.20 and Erlang/OTP 29.1 across all build paths, resolving compiler warnings and updating Docker images to Alpine 3.24 (#849, #851, #854)
- Player E2E tests are enforced as a required CI check, Nix PostgreSQL builds support structured attributes, and pre-commit hooks install cleanly across multiple worktrees (#840, #859, #866)
