v3.2.1

3.2.1

  • fix: chat font size setting had no effect — Kodi's libass ignores HTML .
    Switched to ASS \fs override tag which is properly honored.
  • change: font size values rescaled to 20/25/30/40/60 (ASS PlayResY-relative units).

3.2.0

  • feat: chat font size setting (Tiny/Small/Medium/Large/Huge, 8-16pt)
  • feat: font-size change applies live during playback — no stream restart needed
  • feat: already-displayed chat lines are re-rendered with the new size immediately
  • chore: new strings #30106–#30111 added to all 32 locales (en/cs/pl filled)

3.1.2

  • feat: chat settings now apply live during playback — no need to restart stream
    • changing chat position (left/center/right) rewrites overlay with new alignment
    • toggling chat overlay off stops it immediately; toggling on starts it mid-stream
  • chore: main.py always hands off live slug to service (enables mid-playback toggle)

3.1.1

  • fix: chat position setting now takes effect — each session writes a unique SRT
    filename so Kodi re-parses the {\an1|an2|an3} override tag instead of caching
    the first-loaded track's position
  • fix: skip initial empty SRT write (was causing Kodi to cache 'no override')
  • chore: log selected chat position on overlay start (aids debugging)

3.1.0

  • refactor: shared HTTP layer in resources/lib/http.py (plugin + service reuse it)
  • refactor: helpers in resources/lib/utils.py (clean_title, pagination, followed store)
  • feat: user-facing error notification on network/API failure (distinct from empty list)
  • feat: chat position setting (left/center/right), visible only when chat overlay is on
  • fix: chat SRT cue extended to 99:59:59 — survives 24/7 streams
  • fix: ICON and FOLLOWED_FILE use os.path.join (no more relative path tricks)
  • fix: live list InfoTag title/plot no longer contains viewer count (label-only)
  • chore: removed duplicate _api_get/_pub_get implementations
  • chore: new strings #30059, #30101-30103, #30105 added to all 32 locales (en/cs/pl filled)

3.0.2

  • fix: follow/unfollow context menu now available on channel page
  • fix: followed list passes channel name/pic to toggle action (keeps metadata)
  • fix: WebSocket handshake reads in chunks with explicit socket timeout
  • fix: ping frames handled iteratively (no recursion) + proactive pusher:ping keepalive every 60s
  • refactor: simplified live() language + pagination URL logic

  • fix: chat overlay moved to background service — fixes CPythonInvoker 5s kill on Android
