v2.2.6 - Saves Temp First

What's New in v2.2.6

🎨 7 Animation Styles

Choose your animation per-video in the yaml with ANIMATION_STYLE:

Style	Description
bounce	Sine-wave vertical float (original)
fade	Static grid, fade in/out only
wave	Left-to-right cascade with staggered delay
pop-in	Each poster scales from large down to grid size, staggered
carousel	Elliptical orbit with depth-based scaling (3-D feel)
spotlight	Soft searchlight sweeps the full grid in random order
drift	Parade — one poster at a time travels across the screen

🔦 Spotlight

Full grid always visible. A dark overlay with a soft elliptical searchlight beam travels between posters in random order using smooth interpolation. Each poster gets equal time.

🎠 Drift

One poster at a time eases in from the edge, pauses at centre, eases out. 6+ posters automatically split into two staggered rows. Fully tunable overlap, timing, and row offset.

🔒 Atomic File Write (v2.2.6)

Output is now written to .tmp_<name>.mp4 first, then moved atomically into place. Plex always sees a complete file — no more partial reads mid-render.

🐛 Fixes

• Spotlight double-move at slot boundaries fixed
• Pop-in date label log spam fixed
• Animation style and parameters now shown in job log header
