NP Desktop v0.25.6
Highlights
- Kids-video playback that recovers instead of dead-ending. When YouTube's bot wall blocks a stream route, the player switches to the best muxed fallback within seconds. Fast relay failures, slow hangs and poisoned resume positions are all handled - the app never leaves a dead screen while a fallback exists.
- Resume that works. Resume positions are applied after playback starts instead of a fragile open-time seek (which hangs the demuxer), and a saved position at or past the end of a video starts over instead of stalling.
- An honest quality menu. The entry for the quality that is actually playing is never marked unavailable, blocked routes grey out until their retry window, and the button always names the quality that is running.
- Generation handover. SABR reconnects carry the playback position server-side, so an HD session that survives the wall keeps playing past its session expiry instead of bouncing to 360p.
- Updater hardening. Release assets are verified by SHA-256 digest and an explicit asset allowlist before an update is applied.
- Linux packaging. A .deb alongside the Windows .msi.
