about a pause or a resume on the phone right away, also while playing in the background, and
item pages show their backdrop again.
Added
- Android TV: the TV app runs on Android 9 (API 28) and newer, so it installs on Fire OS 7
devices such as the Fire TV Stick 3rd gen, Lite, 4K and 4K Max. Phones and tablets still need
Android 10 (#675). - Home: when a row changes, its cards slide into place instead of jumping (#640).
Fixed
- Player: a pause or a resume reaches the server at once instead of up to 5 s later, progress
reports arrive in order, and a pause while playing in the background is no longer lost (#674). - Player: with background audio on, progress is still reported after going to Home (#677).
- Item pages: the backdrop is no longer covered by a fade; on wide layouts only its bottom edge
fades into the page (#631). - Cast: transcodes for a receiver that plays HEVC are encoded to H.264, as the receiver expects
(#673). - Sync: an unplayed mark on a download that never had a last played date is sent to the server,
and a login the server refused is logged as one line instead of a stack trace (#635, by
@jaretclifton).
Maintenance
- Dependency updates: Google Cast framework 23, Robolectric 4.18, KSP 2.3.14.
