  Bug-fix release, plus a user-set streaming bandwidth ceiling.

  New

  • Streaming bandwidth cap: choose a ceiling once and every video honours it,
    live TV included, surviving a restart; a single video can be moved to another
    ceiling from the player, resuming where it was (UR-074).
  • Mark as watched — or unwatched — for an episode, season, series or movie, from
    where it is shown. Works offline; a season or series covers its episodes
    (UR-073).

  Fixed

  • Downloads no longer mix media: opening a downloaded library listed every
    downloaded item on the server, films under Music and albums under TV.
  • Pause and resume work. Neither did anything before: no cancellation existed in
    the download stack, so a paused download ran on and overwrote its own row, and
    a resumed one sat until something unrelated pumped the queue.
  • Downloads at a chosen bitrate are no longer corrupted by their own retries. A
    transcode ignores Range and answers 200 with the whole stream; the worker
    appended it to what was already on disk, so each retry concatenated another
    full copy.
  • Partial files are reaped. The worker wrote movie.part while every cleanup
    path deleted movie.mp4.part, so cancelled and failed downloads leaked their
    partials indefinitely.
  • Background-audio handoff no longer loses time. The handoff plays a stream
    whose zero is the point the screen was locked, and that offset was applied
    only where a position was displayed — so progress reported to Jellyfin, and
    the position the app resumed from, were short by however far in you locked it.
  • Full-screen video on Android hides the system bars. requestFullscreen() cannot
    reach the Activity window from inside a WebView, so the control did nothing
    while the bars stayed over the video.
  • Picture-in-picture works. It required a native video surface that the shipping
    configuration never had, so the button could not work however it was pressed.
  • Pages no longer inherit the previous page's scroll position, and Back returns
    to where you were.
  • Season headers no longer overlap their buttons on narrow screens.
  • Favourites is a labelled destination in the library grid rather than an
    unlabelled icon.
  • Android versionCode: v0.5.2 shipped 5002, but the stamping formula produced
    1503 for 0.5.3 — lower, so Android refused the update as a downgrade. Every
    0.5.x release built from it was un-installable for anyone on v0.5.2.

  Note

  • Native Android video decoding is now the default (it backs picture-in-picture).
    It can be turned off in Settings › Native Video if video or seeking misbehaves.
