Playback & Engine Choice

• BOSS Player Engine is the default main engine. Choose BOSS, AetherEngine or KSPlayer as your preferred player and set your fallback order.
• Enable or disable individual engines. Recovery respects your choices, tries each enabled engine once and keeps the player open when you switch movie or episode sources.
• Adds AV1 decoding to BOSS and improves WebM/VP9 playback, Opus/Vorbis audio, finite HEVC HLS streams and AVC files with in-band codec configuration.
• Repairs malformed HEVC startup failures affecting some Dolby Vision Profile 7 remuxes, AAC surround startup and provider connections that reject an initial media probe.
• AetherEngine can attempt its own decoder recovery after a native media-parsing failure before moving to the next enabled player.

Dolby Vision & Audio

• Dolby Vision Profile 7 playback with FEL reconstruction in BOSS, with Original High Precision and Profile 8.1 Compatibility output choices.
• Reduces repeated FEL GPU work and improves audio continuity during reconstruction.
• Corrects TrueHD timing after seeking and keeps audio and video on the same clock during Apple TV display-mode changes.
• Choose APAC spatial audio or PCM output. APAC preserves spatial speaker placement through re-encoding.
• Recovers interrupted playback startup while preserving your resume position.

Your Player, Your Way

• Choose Odyssey Classic, Odyssey Minimal or Compact player styles, with matching menus, smaller controls and a thin timeline.
• Compact brings together Info, Chapters, Details and Insights. Keep the optional Video Stats HUD visible after playback controls fade.
• AetherEngine statistics identify the actual backend, source Dolby Vision profile, FEL processing status and audio path.
• Adjust subtitle position horizontally and vertically, with 100 ms sync steps and finer vertical positioning.
• Scrub previews retain the previous image while the next thumbnail loads. Loading screens use a centred title logo or title fallback.

Browsing & Continue Watching

• More cinematic Home, Movies and Series layouts with larger hero areas and shelves below.
• Collection rails cycle on app opening; Continue Watching and Top 20 preserve their ordering.
• Resume or Play from Beginning resolves current sources rather than reusing an old stream route.
• Improved Up Next thumbnails, clear logos, episode names and descriptions, while respecting spoiler preferences.
• More complete released and announced episode listings from official episode inventories.
• Improved provider artwork, artwork-wait controls and a one-time Skip waiting option.

Sources & Requests

• Updated Jellyfin authentication, playback URLs, artwork, source refresh and connection status, including healthy servers with empty Live TV libraries.
• Jellyfin chapter pictures and server Trickplay thumbnails are used when available.
• Connect your Seerr server, request missing titles and track approval, processing and availability. Source refresh waits until playback ends.
• Sign in to OpenSubtitles with your own account without entering a developer API key.

Preferences, Downloads & Navigation

• Player, fallback, subtitle, appearance and download preferences follow your management account and profile, with safer migration and retry handling.
• Manage player preferences online; changes apply to new playback and recovery.
• Protected downloads keep titles and artwork hidden until unlocked and relock when Odyssey leaves the foreground.
• Improved linked-device download preparation, retries and source selection.
• Improved Apple TV focus, Live TV channel navigation, playback menus and readable source details.
