Changelogs - v2.8.0

Nuvio and Streamio plugins support added – Integrated full support for Nuvio scraper plugins (running inside isolated JS workers with Cheerio and DOM polyfills) and Stremio add-ons (manifests, catalog browsing, streams, Cinemeta metadata, and OpenSubtitles v3).

Changed player engine to libVLC – Migrated the core playback engine to libVLC across desktop, mobile, and TV for broader codec compatibility, lower latency, and rock-solid playback stability.
Completely reworked the player controls – Rebuilt the video player controls from scratch with interactive seek bar scrubbing, intro/outro skipping, next episode countdown, audio & subtitle track management, and robust background playback handling.

Upgraded Torrent Engine – Rebuilt and upgraded the embedded TorrServer across all platforms (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux) with auth token security, stripped binary sizes, and optimized torrent streaming reliability.
Upgraded JavaScript Engine – Updated the embedded JS runtime to QuickJS-NG v0.17.0 with modern ECMAScript features (Array.fromAsync, iterator helpers), native AES decryption offloading, improved worker isolates, and enhanced polyfills for scraper plugins.

TV navigation fixed – Fully overhauled TV D-pad and gamepad focus traversal across player controls, source sheets, episode picker, catalog lists, and search views.

Dark mode is default now – Dark theme is now the default appearance across all devices (System and Light modes remain available under Settings › Appearance).
Full screen mode is persistent between sessions – Leaving the app in full screen mode brings it back that way on subsequent launches.

Download location setting with a native folder picker; the chosen path is used when saving and locating files.
Queue limit (1–10 concurrent downloads) via a native holding queue.
Segments per file (1–8) using ParallelDownloadTask to accelerate large downloads.
Pause all and Resume all controls in the Downloads tab.
Multi-select mode (long-press / checklist) with Delete selected, alongside the existing per-item pause/resume/delete.

New Locales Added – Added Azerbaijani (az) (PR #100 by @jamalkamaladdin) and Finnish (fi) subtitle support (PR #93 by @TheBig8).
Translation Updates – Completed missing localized strings across 41 supported languages.

🛠️ Fixed: SkyStream no longer resets monitor's brightness on Windows – The bundled screen-brightness plugin was sending DDC/CI commands to external monitors. The plugin is now excluded from Windows builds entirely.
🛠️ Cloudflare Reliability on Windows – WebView2 now keeps its working files inside the user AppData directory on installed builds; fixed solve slot deadlock and preserved real error responses.
🛠️ Player Audio & Disposal Lifecycle – Fixed audio continuing to play after closing the player screen; guarded against memory leaks and state exceptions during player disposal.
🛠️ C++17 Upgrade & Platform Builds – Upgraded native plugins and build scripts to C++17.
