Playhub 1.1.6

This update makes Gaming Mode startup resilient to interrupted system writes, keeps your selected boot mode and splash logo safe, and refreshes Playhub's Gaming Mode agent.

Once installed remember to click on the "Install or update" in the Gaming Mode tab!

What’s new

• Gaming Mode now keeps an automatic backup of its configuration and runtime state.

Improvements

• Settings are written atomically and synchronized across Playhub, the desktop companion and the startup agent.
• A damaged primary file is restored from its last valid backup without changing the selected boot mode or splash logo.
• The agent no longer rewrites the configuration every time it reads it.
• The new versions of Now Playing, ThemeDeck, TrailerHero and Weather were checked against the current Gaming Mode process, session and localhost environment.

Fixes

• Fixed the intermittent issue where Boot straight to Gaming Mode could fall back to Desktop after a few starts.
• Fixed the Gaming Mode splash selection reverting to the Playhub logo after a corrupted configuration read.
• Invalid configuration files are no longer silently replaced with default values.
