The biggest update so far:

Details screen

  • Clicking a card now opens a hero-style details page: full TMDB backdrop, poster, ringed rating, runtime, status, overview and genres
  • Play / Add to Watchlist / Download buttons; long-press on cards still opens the quick menu
  • Version picker: multiple files of the same film (1080p vs 720p, different audio cuts) are grouped as choices with quality/source/size labels - tap any copy to play it

TMDB metadata (built in)

  • Automatic title/rating/year/backdrop resolution from release-style file names
  • Spelling-tolerant matching ("Chaadum" finds "Chadum"-style variants), language/junk-token filtering, camera names (IMG_/MVI_/VID_) skipped
  • Web-assisted fallback: Wikipedia + DuckDuckGo (filename + imdb) resolve the canonical title, then TMDB validates it
  • Home cards swap to the official TMDB backdrop; details screens use full backdrops + posters
  • Runs out of the box; a custom key or off-switch lives in Settings -> TMDB metadata

Fixes & library behaviour

  • User (QR-paired) sessions now load their full chat list (LoadChats) - the library no longer shows up empty after pairing
  • Session type detected via GetMe instead of a stale preference
  • Newest message first in every row
  • Transient network resets no longer permanently miss a title
  • "My List" row with locally bookmarked videos

Pick v7a for real TV boxes (~24 MB); universal APK for emulators.
