FieldScreen now verifies encrypted saving and reading on each device before enabling Remember this provider. Standalone Linux desktops automatically select an available Secret Service or KWallet backend, while KDE and explicit password-store choices are preserved.
- The M3U playlist link and EPG / TV guide link sit together in one connection form. Remember saves both.
- A RedZone button beside the screen layouts opens an available RedZone feed in the main pane.
- Multiple confirmed feeds receive a brief media check with a 2.5-second total budget. Recent results are cached, and similar response times preserve broadcast priority.
- Connecting returns to the dashboard. Clicking a live game or Watch game automatically starts a confirmed guide match; channel selection is reserved for uncertain coverage.
- Saved providers reconnect when the app opens. An existing session can be saved without re-entering the links.
- Storage status explains unavailable or locked keyrings and failed writes, with a Check again button. Plaintext fallback remains disabled.
- Includes automatic NFL game discovery, full-lineup channel search, detailed guide status, and channel/guide refresh controls from the previous preview.
Validated with 33 automated tests, a production build, packaged-file verification, and an actual encrypted save and application restart on Hyprland. Steam Deck wallet selection is covered by automated checks; this release has not been physically tested on Steam Deck hardware.
