Reliable Windows self-updates
- Stages the downloaded installer first, hands it to the outer application lifecycle, and launches it only after the UI, playback engine, tray, and stream server have shut down.
- Enables Inno Setup logging and a force-close fallback for older clients that launch Setup before their shutdown completes.
- Moves fresh native installations to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\stremio-native, avoiding collisions with the official Stremio installation while preserving the registered directory for upgrades.
Native operating-system media controls
- Adds SMTC on Windows, MPRIS on Linux, and MediaRemote integration on macOS for metadata, playback status, play/pause, seeking, stop, and next-episode commands.
- Adds a Windows taskbar thumbnail play/pause control and taskbar playback progress, with a stable AppUserModelID for correct application naming and icon resolution.
- Holds an operating-system sleep inhibitor only while video is playing and releases it on pause, stop, player close, or process shutdown.
