Android builds are signed with the same release key as earlier versions, so they install over the existing app. The in-app updater picks the right APK for your phone automatically. The .deb and .rpm packages need GTK 3 and libmpv from your distribution; the AppImage bundles libmpv.

What's new in this release

• Mini player: leaving the watch page while a video plays no longer stops it — the video shrinks into a floating mini player above the dock and keeps going. Tap it to fly straight back into the watch page, with play/pause, progress and a close button right in the card.
• Smooth player ↔ mini player animation: the video itself flies between the watch page and the mini player (with matching corners and shadow), so switching never restarts or flashes the stream.
• Picture-in-Picture (Android): a new PiP button next to Download on the watch page pops the video into a floating system window with the correct aspect ratio. Tap the window to return to the full app.
• Watch progress made in the mini player is saved to History just like in the player.

Highlights since v2.0.0

• New home hero: Netflix / MovieBox-style portrait cards on phones, one large featured card on desktop.
• Faster playback: parallel chunked streaming with read-ahead, stable seeking and resume.
• Downloads: save videos in the app and watch offline (Library › Downloads).
• Desktop player: two-pane layout, mouse and keyboard controls, volume slider.
• Settings split into pages, custom accent color, AMOLED theme and text size.
