Update 1.1.19: Transparent UI, Auto Subtitles & Major Performance Boosts
Version 1.1.19 brings a massive overhaul to the player's core interface and background stability. Enjoy brand-new transparent layouts, highly requested subtitle enhancements, and much faster folder loading speeds across the board.
- Transparent Player Layouts & Modern Navigation: Introduced clean, ultra-sleek, transparent UI panels for Subtitle Info, Audio Equalizer, Sleep Timer, and the main 3-dots options menu. Designed for seamless viewing, these panels smoothly slide in from the side in landscape mode and slide up from the bottom in portrait mode, allowing you to adjust player settings without blocking your video content.
- Auto Subtitle Detection & Deep Customization: Our upgraded subtitle engine automatically detects, extracts, and synchronizes both embedded and external subtitle files (including SRT, VTT, SSA, and ASS) across MKV, MP4, and all supported video formats. You can now effortlessly scale subtitle font sizes and precisely adjust on-screen vertical positioning in real time using intuitive swipe gestures. To ensure maximum readability against any bright, dark, or high-contrast scenes, you have full freedom to customize the subtitle text color and independently set the background color and box opacity of the fonts. Furthermore, if downloaded subtitles are out of sync with the audio track, you can instantly tweak subtitle speed and fine-tune offset delay timings to perfectly match dialogue down to the millisecond.
- Slide-Down Playback Speed Lock: Added a highly requested slide-down gesture control that instantly locks your selected playback speed (such as 2x fast-forward or slow-motion). This prevents accidental touch inputs from resetting or changing your video speed while watching long movies or video lectures.
- Customizable Top Controls & Space Optimization: Introduced new player preferences that allow you to hide or disable unused top floating icons to maintain a clutter-free viewing environment. Additionally, the Hardware/Software (HW/SW) Decoder selector button has been moved into the streamlined 3-dots options menu to save valuable top-bar screen real estate.
- Dedicated Audio Effects Menu: Integrated a quick-access Audio Effects menu into the player overlay, enabling you to rapidly select, switch, and apply custom audio profiles, bass enhancements, and equalizer presets for an optimized sound profile.
- Unified Seekbar Preview & External File Fixes: Upgraded seekbar controls now feature high-precision scrubbing alongside a center-screen time preview overlay. Fixed an issue where external videos launched via the "Open With" intent displayed random numerical strings instead of actual file titles, and ensured "Share" and "File Info" options operate seamlessly for external storage files.
- Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Mode Repaired: Resolved floating PiP window playback glitches, fixed aspect-ratio scaling during window transitions, and restored reliable background control support.
- Lightning-Fast Storage Indexing: Re-engineered the local storage scanner and media repository indexer to deliver noticeably faster folder opening times and instant file sorting when switching between Date, Size, Name, or Resolution filters.
- Core Stability & Custom R8 Optimizations: Resolved SQLite database integrity crashes and fixed touch-seeking gesture stability bugs. Implemented refined R8 code-shrinking rules and ProGuard obfuscation logic to maximize execution speed and eliminate crashes across all Android operating system versions and device hardware types.
