v2.6

New feature, a possible fix for a device-specific issue, and documentation catching up to reality.

Added

  • Marine conditions — a new Weather info toggle showing wave height and period, wherever there's a large enough body of water nearby to have real data. Off by default. Confirmed to work for both open ocean and the Great Lakes, not just coastal cities.

Fixed

  • Possible fix for a black screen during animated radar/precipitation on lower-power devices. The video encoder never specified which H.264 profile to target, so every device encoded using whatever its own encoder defaulted to — often a profile chosen for better compression that some weaker or older hardware decoders can't play back. Now requests the far more universally-compatible Baseline profile, but only when the device's own encoder confirms it supports it, so this can't break encoding on a device that previously worked fine.

    This is not yet confirmed fixed — please test specifically on the affected device before treating it as resolved.

Documentation

  • The screensaver interaction is now stated plainly, not left as an unstated risk. Turning on animated radar or animated rain/snow can prevent the screensaver from starting while they're active — this is now confirmed behavior, not a hypothetical. It comes from how video playback signals the system to stay awake, which is outside this plugin's control. This almost certainly applies to any video wallpaper, including community video packs, and the contributor guide now says so.
  • Marine conditions was missing from the README's feature list despite being fully implemented — added.

Notes

  • No settings were removed or renamed. If you're updating from 2.5, nothing you had configured changes.
