Upstream's notes for 1.9.1

BitChord banner

Hotfix

A small hotfix release on top of v1.9.

Changelog

  • Player: a new Player theme setting (Default, Simple, Legacy), and Disable blend effects to show player icons, text and menus in plain white.
  • Albums and playlists: optional full-screen cover that runs to the edges of the page.
  • Content Preferences: hide Recents, videos, Top Picks for You or Find Your Mood from Home, and show music videos as square thumbnails.
  • Playback: Prefer music-only version plays music videos as their audio, with the next track converted ahead so Automix and crossfade still work.
  • Automix: Automix overview in the song menu shows the upcoming transition.
  • Liquid Glass: Better Performance for Glass, a lighter frost for phones that struggle with the full effect.
  • Addons: a quality picker for addons that offer more than one quality.
  • Song matching: Direct Source Stream now checks length and artist before playing, so it no longer plays a different song or a 30-second preview.
  • Bit-perfect: no more dropouts with the screen off on direct USB and AAudio exclusive, and the DAC is released during long pauses and resumes from the exact spot.
  • Performance: less lag while the player slides over a page.
  • UI: the search field stays readable on glass, a new earphones output icon, and refreshed loading placeholders.
  • General stability fixes across the app.
