✨ What's New in v1.1.1

🎬 Watch Screen — Full Custom Player

  • Native HLS video player built with Flutter's video_player + ExoPlayer
  • Dual-stream playback — separate video and audio tracks synced within ≤250ms
  • Quality selector — switch between 240p / 360p / 480p / 720p / 1080p seamlessly without losing playback position
  • Language selector — choose audio language (Japanese, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and more)
  • Local HLS Proxy — a built-in localhost proxy transparently routes CDN-protected streams so ExoPlayer can access them on Android without CORS or auth issues
  • Seek bar with tap-to-seek and drag support
  • ±10 second skip buttons
  • Auto-hide controls with 3-second fade-out
  • Orientation toggle (portrait ↔ landscape)

🔧 Under the Hood
