What's new · 1.15
What’s New This update is an important step forward for playback quality and overall stability. We’ve upgraded the playback kernel to deliver a smoother, more reliable viewing experience, with better responsiveness during everyday use. We also improved external subtitle compatibility, refined audio track switching, and made a number of playback experience optimizations throughout the app. We know the previous version didn’t meet the standard we wanted, and we truly appreciate your patience. This release is focused on making playback feel better, more stable, and more dependable from start to finish. If you want, I can also give you: 1. A shorter App Store style version 2. A more emotional/warm version 3. A more polished “premium product” tone version
