⚠️ Alpha build — this release is for early testers only. Take a backup before upgrading, expect rough edges, and please report anything broken. Regular users should wait for the upcoming beta.
🎬 Playback & subtitles
- Embedded bitmap subtitles now work in the MediaKit player, including PGS tracks on macOS and Android phones, with the required decoders packaged for every supported architecture
- Android phones now use the subtitle-capable MediaCodec + GPU path by default, with a compatibility fallback if a device cannot initialize it; Android TV remains on ExoPlayer
- Subtitle failures are surfaced promptly and failed selections roll back instead of leaving a misleading tick or saved preference
- External subtitle downloads are handled more safely, including compressed files, malformed responses, oversized archives, and rapid track changes
- Audio menus now show playable tracks accurately and apply remembered language preferences through the native player
- YouTube launches that use separate video and audio streams keep their audio in external players
☁️ Device transfer
- Remote transfers are now transactional and more resilient, preventing partial imports when a transfer is interrupted or retried
- Remembered transfers now restore add-ons correctly and behave reliably on Apple TV
🏠 Home and browsing
- Added an optional hold to Quick Play action for Continue Watching cards
- Spotlight metadata stays readable and correctly arranged in portrait layouts
📺 Apple TV
- Low-memory Apple TV models automatically use lighter Home artwork and search paths to reduce memory pressure
