Plex rails, instant playlist switching, faster Movies / Series
Per-playlist VOD cache for instant switching. A single global fetch hydrates every Movies/Series rail. Plex catalog rails ship with full backdrop trailers.
New
- Per-playlist VOD disk cache — switch playlists instantly, no re-fetch
- Plex rail trailers with on-launch resolution + LAN > WAN > Relay fallback
- Hot-swap subtitles on Android (Media3 + libVLC)
Improved
- Movies / Series: a single global fetch now hydrates every rail
- Hydrate rails from VodDiskCache at startup → first paint < 1 s
- Parallel preload of the first 6 rails (movies + series)
Fixed
- Playlist switch no longer cancels in-flight rail loads incorrectly
- Resume episode now anchors on max watched (Trakt + local) instead of S1E1
- v4.1
Stalker portal hardening + tvOS focus performance pass
Major reliability improvements for MAC/Stalker portals: token renewal, force-reconnect after 401, KSPlayer-only paths. tvOS focus is now <16 ms even on 60-card category grids.
New
- Stalker token renewal instead of player failover (one-shot tokens)
- forceReconnect after 401 stream lock (recovers entire session)
- KSPlayer-only path for Stalker (avoids preflight token consumption)
Improved
- tvOS category browser uses bitmap pre-rendering — body render < 5 ms

Fixed
