Beta 0.3.12

Improvements & Fixes

• Fixed duplicate Back events on Samsung Tizen that could automatically open the sidebar after returning from Details, Continue Watching or Collections. (@WhiteGiso)
• Fixed Back navigation from the media player occasionally getting stuck or showing a black screen by returning through a deterministic app route instead of relying on browser history. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved adaptive stream playback on Samsung Tizen by allowing AVPlay to select an appropriate starting bitrate instead of forcing the highest available quality immediately. (@WhiteGiso)
• Reduced recurring trailer stutters on Samsung Tizen by removing duplicate YouTube state polling and avoiding unnecessary overlay updates while controls are hidden. (@WhiteGiso)
• Fixed built-in subtitle tracks appearing as “Unknown” by prioritizing valid Samsung AVPlay language metadata and ignoring placeholder language codes. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved subtitle language detection for regional variants, including Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish, with compatibility-safe labels on older TV platforms. (@WhiteGiso)
• Aligned the subtitle selection menu more closely with Android TV by grouping tracks by language and displaying track counts, source labels, codec information and forced-subtitle metadata. (@WhiteGiso)
• Added a “Show Only Preferred Languages” playback setting to hide unrelated subtitle languages while keeping the selected track and the Off option available. (@WhiteGiso)
• Fixed profile selection occasionally remaining stuck or taking more than ten seconds to open by navigating to the main interface before running profile-scoped synchronization in the background. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved profile startup performance by reusing already loaded profile and PIN data and preventing duplicate synchronization passes during authentication. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved the startup watchdog by renewing its timeout whenever boot progress advances, preventing slow but active initialization stages from being reported as frozen. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved webOS playback startup stability by delaying bitmap subtitle decoder initialization until the first playback frame is presented and avoiding premature media preparation. (@WhiteGiso)
• Improved backdrop and Hero responsiveness when browsing Collections by preloading focused artwork ahead of the visual update, while avoiding duplicate requests and unnecessary downloads during rapid navigation. (@WhiteGiso)
