- When closing after the last episode, the app now exits fullscreen first, then returns to the watch list page.
- Player close behavior is more reliable from fullscreen and overlay states.
- Smarter refresh of collection lists.
- Smarter player stream routing: local proxy is now used for HLS, while direct streams (like
.mp4) open directly. - Added one-time playback fallback retry between local proxy and direct modes to reduce module watch failures.
- HLS settle timeout logic now runs only for HLS/proxy playback, avoiding unnecessary waits on direct files.
- Added stream transport policy tests (HLS/direct/unknown classification + proxy/fallback behavior).
- Module watch flow now passes and validates
mediaIdfor playback resume correctness. - Desktop startup now enforces single-instance lock and handles window settings lock conflicts safely.

- Home navigation updated:
DiscoverandFeedpositions were swapped. - New installs now open on
Discoverby default. - Discover cards now show a secondary Russian/Shikimori title when
Display Russian Titlesis enabled. - Discover search got a smart fallback: if AniList returns no results on first page, Shikimori title variants are tried automatically.

- Stability and performance improvements for Discover async updates and title enrichment.
- Faster startup module handling: extension index now loads immediately from local data without blocking on remote refresh

- Smarter voiceover flow: voiceover detection and first stream probe are combined to avoid duplicate heavy parsing
- Better slow-source resilience: stream extraction now uses longer, safer timeouts with optional per-module overrides
- Reduced repeated module work: runtime, executor, search, and settings now share one module loader instance
- More stable startup updates: remote extension refresh runs in background with per-module timeout and safe loopback skipping
- Settings consistency improvements: module mutations now properly invalidate shared index/cache state
- Added regression coverage for loader refresh behavior, remote refresh timeout handling, and voiceover probe logic
- The Seek steps function now works correctly in fullscreen mode

- Smarter refresh of collection lists.
- Smarter player stream routing: local proxy is now used for HLS, while direct streams (like
.mp4) open directly. - Added one-time playback fallback retry between local proxy and direct modes to reduce module watch failures.
- HLS settle timeout logic now runs only for HLS/proxy playback, avoiding unnecessary waits on direct files.
- Added stream transport policy tests (HLS/direct/unknown classification + proxy/fallback behavior).
- Module watch flow now passes and validates
mediaIdfor playback resume correctness. - Desktop startup now enforces single-instance lock and handles window settings lock conflicts safely.
- Removed Feed from Home navigation and Home Tab defaults (Settings > Defaults > Home Tab).
- Added Feed button to the user profile button row and reordered buttons to: Activities, Favourites, Feed, Social, Statistics, Reviews.
- Home navigation updated:
DiscoverandFeedpositions were swapped. - New installs now open on
Discoverby default. - Discover cards now show a secondary Russian/Shikimori title when
Display Russian Titlesis enabled. - Discover search got a smart fallback: if AniList returns no results on first page, Shikimori title variants are tried automatically.
- Russian title toggle now applies to already opened Discover results without needing manual refresh.
- Stability and performance improvements for Discover async updates and title enrichment.
- Faster startup module handling: extension index now loads immediately from local data without blocking on remote refresh
- Improved module playback reliability: module streams now start via proxy by default for better HLS/header compatibility (including iOS)
- Smarter voiceover flow: voiceover detection and first stream probe are combined to avoid duplicate heavy parsing
- Better slow-source resilience: stream extraction now uses longer, safer timeouts with optional per-module overrides
- Reduced repeated module work: runtime, executor, search, and settings now share one module loader instance
- More stable startup updates: remote extension refresh runs in background with per-module timeout and safe loopback skipping
- Settings consistency improvements: module mutations now properly invalidate shared index/cache state
- Added regression coverage for loader refresh behavior, remote refresh timeout handling, and voiceover probe logic
- The Seek steps function now works correctly in fullscreen mode
- Code fix and improvement
- Manga reading support
- Faster module loading at startup
- Better stream playback duration detection
- Improved search using Russian titles
- Stability improvements on Windows
