v5.5.0-beta3

beta3

bug fixes.

beta2

1. Chat tab — Live chat and danmaku can now be shown in a dedicated Chat tab instead of only overlaid on the video; also available as a side panel in landscape fullscreen; pinned Super Chat support; danmaku settings moved to Appearance, renamed "bullet comments" → "danmaku".
2. Multi-select everywhere — History, local playlists, channel/playlist/kiosk/search lists, subscriptions, and home feeds: long-press to select multiple items (delete, move, enqueue, add to another playlist, batch download).
3. Content filter upgrades — /regex/ entries in keyword filters; comment filtering by keywords/usernames/min like count; channel blocking now uses channel ID with separate ID block lists for videos vs. comments; filtered-empty pages report hidden item counts and allow manual continuation.
4. Player & gestures — Lock button in fullscreen (disables controls & gestures); speed indicator while long-press speeding; pinch-to-zoom works alongside display modes with pan and double-tap reset; manual start/end time input dialog for SponsorBlock; preferred audio quality option.
5. Lists & sorting — Choose which list pages show background/play-all/popup buttons; name sort order setting (English/Chinese/Japanese/Korean, default English); remote playlists, bookmarked playlists, history, and local playlists gain sort-by-uploader/upload-date/duration/name; unified toolbar "filter" (local search) entry across list screens.
6. Misc — Local playlist background playback via home screen shortcut (with playlist cover); search/filter added to the main-page channel selection dialog.
