# Changelog — PlayBridge Sender (Android phone)

All notable changes to the phone app (`com.playbridge.sender`).
Format based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).

## [0.11.2] — 2026-07-14 (versionCode 221)

### Fixed
- **Pairing Security**: Hardened local pairing certificate generation and securely stored private keys from unauthorized local system reads.

## [0.11.1] — 2026-07-11 (versionCode 220)

### Fixed
- **In-app player (no video / silent video)**: TV-aligned ExoPlayer factory with Media3 **FFmpeg audio PREFER** (`prebuilt/media3/lib-decoder-ffmpeg-release.aar`), hardware-first video, decoder fallback, and memory-aware load control. TextureView + deferred `prepare()` until the surface is attached (Compose SurfaceView left permanent buffering). Stuck recovery only after first frame and does not mute audio when FFmpeg is loaded. (#103)
- **Library Watch**: No longer auto-reconnects to the TV from the detail screen; pairing stays on the Connection sheet. (#103)

### Changed
- **FFmpeg packaging**: Phone depends on the shared repo prebuilt FFmpeg decoder AAR (same artifact as TV). (#103)

## [0.11.0] — 2026-07-08 (versionCode 219)

### Added
- **Nuvio DOM & Crypto Support**: Integrated JSoup `1.18.1` and implemented DOM parsing (`DomBridge`) and cryptographic helpers (`CryptoBridge`/`PluginCrypto`) inside sandboxed QuickJS scraper plugin runner.

### Changed
- **Concurrent Stream Resolution**: Refactored stream resolution to fetch from multiple Stremio/Nuvio sources concurrently using Kotlin coroutines and `channelFlow` for immediate and progressive UI updates.

### Fixed
- **Addon Loading & Navigation**: Gated addon navigation by keying on `addonBaseUrl` instead of name, mapped request types to Stremio-supported types, and made `seasonPosters` nullable to prevent deserialization crashes.

## [0.10.0] — 2026-07-07 (versionCode 218)

### Added
- **FOSS/Play Distribution Flavors**: Play builds strip `REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES` via a manifest overlay, stub out the APK installer, disable Debrid + Nuvio scraper plugins, and hide sideload links. (#90)
- **Clear Data Sheet**: Firefox-style Clear Data sheet (Gecko StorageController + Room), paged menu sheet, and a 200 MB Gecko disk-cache cap. (#90)
- **Battery Exemption Guidance**: Settings-page guidance replaces the restricted `REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS` permission. (#90)

### Fixed
- **Watch-Progress Tracking**: Gated skip-ahead catch-up to deliberately-started episodes only, forward-only advance detection, DLNA final resume flush, resume cleanup before rewatch dedup, and dropped the fabricated season-1 fallback. (#90)
- **Media Notification & Background Playback**: Reworked the media notification and in-app player background playback; page/tab playback now stops when the cast sheet opens. (#87)
- **Connection UX**: Single connection popup, no reconnect after a deliberate disconnect, removed the Keep-trying button, and restored navigation on return to shell. (#87, #90)
- **Reactive Theme Switching**: Theme changes apply without `Activity.recreate`, plus theme/UI styling consistency fixes. (#85, #87)
- **Touchpad Click Tracking**: Improved touchpad click tracking in the remote control and cast sheet. (#86)

## [0.9.0] — 2026-07-04 (versionCode 217)

### Added
- **In-App Updates**: Implemented dynamic updates check on cold start, local APK downloader (`ApkInstaller`), and a manual "Check for updates" option in Settings.

### Fixed
- **Touchpad Area Gestures**: Locked the touchpad two-finger gestures to a single mode (zoom or scroll) for its lifetime using accumulator logic, and fixed a panY calculation typo.

## [0.8.0] — 2026-07-03 (versionCode 216)

### Added
- **Nuvio Scrapers**: Integrated a sandboxed JavaScript runtime powered by QuickJS, with Cheerio and CryptoJS support for scraper scripts.
- **Library Add-ons UI**: Created addon models, database provider migrations, addon settings UI, and scraper runner logs.

## [0.7.1] — 2026-07-01 (versionCode 215)

### Fixed
- **Google Play Compatibility**: Declared `android.hardware.touchscreen` as required in the manifest to ensure the phone app is filtered out on non-touch TV devices.

## [0.7.0] — 2026-06-30 (versionCode 214)

### Added
- **User Agent Presets**: Added custom User Agent presets sheet supporting Android/Desktop/TV browser spoofing and settings repository persistence.
- **User Agent Selection UI**: Built the `UserAgentSheet` component and menu integration to allow hot-swapping web browser layouts.

### Removed

- **Binary Protocol Updates**: Updated shared binary protocols for remote interactions. (#59)
- **Cast Sheet Updates**: Improved remote status and cast session handling in `CastSheet`. (#59)

## [0.2.8] — 2026-06-17 (versionCode 208)

### Added

- **Collections**: Dashboard tile, custom collections (create, rename, delete, reorder, deduplicate), and quick "Add to Collection" actions from IPTV, Phone Files, Debrid, Cast History, and the browser cast sheet. (#39)
- **Remote Control Redesign**: Combined seek and volume gesture bar (horizontal swipe to seek, vertical swipe for volume). (#39)
- Upgraded local Room Database (v17 -> v19) to store playlists, channels, and collection schemas. (#39)

## [0.2.7] — 2026-06-15 (versionCode 207)

### Added
- **Phone Files revamp**: Added SAF file picker, search, sort sheet (name/size/modified), and a per-tab folder row. Play locally via 'This Device' or cast to the active target. Hoist screen state so it survives navigation. (#34)
- **Cast bar**: Permanent three-state (playing/idle) cast bar with quick navigation to Remote or Device Picker. (#34)
- Hard 'Exit PlayBridge' button on the Dashboard. (#34)

### Changed
- Overhauled back button navigation rules to return to Dashboard from primary screens, and double-tap Dashboard back button to soft exit. (#34)
- Multi-language subtitle delivery: sends all available subtitle tracks, prioritizing preferred languages and matching release names to ensure better auto-sync. (#32)

### Removed
- Video filter remote controls and settings. (#31)

## [0.2.6] — 2026-06-13 (versionCode 206)

### Added
- Seed default Cinemeta addon if library is empty to improve initial onboarding. (#27)
- uBlock Origin is now bundled as a shared asset in the KMP module. (#26)

## [0.2.5] — 2026-06-12 (versionCode 205)

### Added
- **DLNA/UPnP casting**: discover renderers via SSDP and cast web videos, HLS streams, and local files through an on-device header-injecting proxy (with HLS playlist rewriting). Unified remote drives both native and DLNA targets. (#7)
- **Cast sessions**: `CastSessionManager` + foreground service keep casts (native or DLNA) alive through screen-off and activity death, with a live notification and Stop action. (#11)
- **Automatic watch-progress tracking** on both transports: marks watched at ≥90% or auto-advance, forward-only episode pointer, skip-ahead catch-up, movie/series completion, and a content-keyed resume store ("Resume · 23:14" labels, episode progress bars, actual TV resume via `start_position_ms`). (#11)
- **DLNA episode auto-advance**: phone-driven queue advances binge sessions on renderers via the shared episode stream resolver. (#11)
- **Now-playing mini bar** across main screens (poster-accent on library detail), replacing the remote FABs. (#11)
- **Unified device picker**: one shared DeviceChip + connection sheet across library, detail, cast sheet, and Phone Files; time-boxed discovery with manual rescan and sticky auto-connect; HLS VOD duration derived from `#EXTINF` sums. (#9)

### Changed
- Browser migrated to Mozilla Android Components' store-owned session architecture (`EngineMiddleware`): on-demand engine session creation/restore, tab hibernation, crash auto-recovery (capped), sessions survive activity recreation, reflection hacks replaced with public AC APIs. (#17)
- WebSocket auto-retries removed — failures surface immediately; reconnects are on-demand from send paths and startup auto-connect (no more UI flapping). (#11)

### Fixed
- White-blank-page / tab-not-loading bugs and stale background-tab URLs. (#17)
- Video detection delivered via native messaging instead of racy URL-hash signaling; detection state resets on navigation; live-stream and MSE/blob detection gaps closed (missing Content-Type, `.mpd` by URL, service-worker requests, JS player config probing). (#15)
