Closed captions on the View (⧉) button. Press View during a video to turn subtitles on or off.
The new Settings ▸ Captions section lets you list the languages you prefer, in order, and
choose whether to favour human-written or auto-generated tracks — Deckback then picks the best
match for each video, and translates when your language isn't offered.
Exit without leaving the app. Open the menu and hold Y to quit, from any tab and wherever
the highlight happens to be. Deckback pauses and saves your place first, so the next launch picks
up where you stopped. (Holding STEAM + B still force-quits, but that skips the save.)
The Settings menu now opens while a video is playing. The Menu (☰) button previously did
nothing on the watch screen.
One-line install. Deckback can now be installed with a single command in Desktop Mode — see
the README.
One-step uninstall. A single script removes Deckback along with everything it put on the
system: both helper services and the Steam library shortcut. Your YouTube sign-in is kept unless
you ask for a full wipe.
Fixed
The screen no longer dims, and the Deck no longer suspends, in the middle of a video. The
helper that keeps the screen awake could quietly disable itself while Deckback was being updated,
and then stay off — with nothing on screen to say so. It now waits much longer before deciding
Deckback is really gone, and its own cleanup can no longer be interrupted half-finished. If the
helper is not running, Deckback now tells you the first time you play something instead of
leaving you to guess.
Long on-screen messages are no longer cut off. Notices wider than the screen were clipped at
both edges, with no "…" to show anything was missing. They now wrap.
Updates keep working after the Deck sleeps. The update check could go silently inert after a
suspend/resume and never recover until the app was restarted.
Changed
The audio and keep-awake helpers now remove themselves when you uninstall Deckback, instead of
staying enabled on the system afterwards.
