  ✨ Changes

  • Native Android video is now the default. Video decodes on the device's
    hardware decoder instead of the built-in web player, which is easier on the
    battery and lets picture-in-picture show the video rather than the app. The
    default had been held back deliberately since the picture defects were fixed,
    because returning from background audio left playback dead on that path; both
    blockers below are fixed and verified on a device, which is the standard this
    default has been held to since it last shipped early. The Settings toggle
    remains, now as the fallback to the web player, and an explicit choice still
    wins in both directions — anyone who turned it off keeps it off.

  🐛 Fixes

  • The letterbox bars stop showing things that are no longer there. With
    native video on, the padding around the picture kept whatever had last been
    drawn in it: the previous frame flashing on rotation, a ghost copy of the
    control bar stranded at the top of the screen, each new clock digit drawn over
    the one before it, and the sleep-timer and quality menus leaving their imprint
    after closing. One cause under all of it — nothing painted those bars. The
    window surface is opaque, and for an opaque surface Android's renderer skips
    clearing the damaged region and assumes the view hierarchy covers every pixel;
    the video view covers only the letterboxed rect, so the bars were the window
    background's alone to paint, and enabling compositing had cleared that
    background to transparent. Three earlier attempts missed because they aimed at
    the window's rotation animation and at video-frame retention — which is also
    why the artefact reproduced standing still, with no rotation involved.
    (UR-003, UR-066 → DR-194)

  • Returning from background audio brings the picture back. On the native
    path, coming back from the lockscreen left a black screen: a play overlay
    pinned at 0:00 and a play button that did nothing. Nothing had crashed — the
    transition was simply dropped. The two render paths resume by different means,
    and only one of them was performed: the web player reloads from its stream URL,
    while the native player owns no element and nothing watches that URL on its
    behalf, so it has to be handed the item again explicitly. It now is, at the
    position the audio reached. (UR-040, UR-003 → DR-196)

  • Next Up stops repeating what Continue Watching already shows. The same
    episode could occupy both home rows at once. (UR-023 → DR-197)
