✨ New Features & Major Enhancements

  • Intelligent Context-Aware Queue: When you play from a playlist, artist page, or favorites, the "Up Next" queue is now beautifully organized. Related videos appear in a distinct, scrollable section at the top, making it clear what's part of the current context. The rest of your library follows, and every single video in the queue is now fully playable.
  • Powerful Fuzzy Search: Instantly find anything in your library with the new, supercharged search. It now searches across videos, artists, and playlists, and you don't even need to be precise—fuzzy matching will find what you're looking for, even with a typo. Results are displayed on a dedicated search page, neatly categorized for clarity.
  • Advanced Library Filtering: Take full control of your Home and Favorites pages. A new toggleable filter panel allows you to refine your view by media type (video/audio), duration (<5 min, 5-20 min, >20 min), and source (YouTube/local).
  • Fully-Featured Sleep Timer: The sleep timer is now fully operational. Set a timer to stop playback by a specific number of tracks, a duration in minutes, or at a set time of day. A new status indicator will appear in the header bar to show you the time or tracks remaining.
  • Automatic Playlist Creation: Downloading a YouTube playlist now automatically creates a corresponding playlist in your ViveStream library, populated with the downloaded videos.
  • Custom Covers & Thumbnails: Personalize your library by uploading custom cover images for your playlists and profile pictures for artists, giving your collection a unique touch.
  • Full Subtitle Support: You can now download and display subtitles for your videos, making your viewing experience more accessible and versatile.
  • Full Library & Single File Export: A new "Export Library" option has been added to the settings, allowing you to save your entire collection to an external folder. All exported files (single or full library) are now saved with their proper titles, not cryptic IDs.
  • Reinitialize App: A new one-click maintenance tool in the settings helps keep your library healthy. It will clear the app cache, rescan your media files, and clean up any orphaned entries (like artists with no videos) from the database.
  • "Liquid Glass" UI Polish: The "liquid glass" theme has been applied more consistently across modals, context menus, and the player settings menu for a sleeker, more modern aesthetic.

🐛 Bug Fixes & Performance Improvements

  • CRITICAL PLAYBACK FIX: Fixed a major bug where videos would not play when clicked from a playlist, artist, or favorites detail page. Playback now works correctly from anywhere in the app.
  • Smart Playlist Updates: When you download a playlist that contains videos already in your library, those existing videos will have their "date added" timestamp updated. This brings them to the top when you sort by "Newest," keeping your playlist content grouped together chronologically.
  • Player Page Scrolling: The player page now automatically scrolls to the top when a new video starts, so you're never left looking at the bottom of the page.
  • Search Page Rendering: Fixed a layout bug where the search page could incorrectly appear on top of other screens like Downloads or Settings.
  • Filter Panel: The filter button and panel are now fully functional and no longer cause UI glitches.
