Frame 1.0.5

Frame 1.0.5

This update addresses the playback UI stall and protects the local catalog when multiple Frame instances are open.

• Keep AppKit responsive while libmpv renders video by disabling its target-time wait on the UI render path.
• Apply the same non-blocking render timing to native Picture in Picture.
• Serialize catalog reads and writes across Frame processes, reload a newer committed catalog generation before access, and reopen the database after atomic compaction replaces it.

Frame 1.0.4

This update fixes restored playback starting automatically after the player restored track preferences.

• Keep restored videos paused until the media engine confirms the file has loaded, even while audio and subtitle tracks are being selected.
• Avoid repeated window chrome changes during SwiftUI updates to prevent recursive layout work.
• Use a native macOS menu-bar status item with options for opening Frame, navigating, refreshing the current library, and close-to-menu-bar behavior.
• Keep movie runtime and resolution metadata available from library scanning, and simplify movie poster actions when a local file is present.

This update fixes a startup playback issue that could make Frame appear unresponsive when restoring the last video.

• Resume the previously open video in a paused state, even when the playback engine resets pause while loading the file.
• Avoid repeated window chrome changes during SwiftUI updates to prevent recursive layout work.
• Replace the SwiftUI menu-bar scene with a native macOS status item and menu for opening Frame, navigating, refreshing the current library, and configuring close-to-menu-bar behavior.
