What’s New:
New features
Playback & player
● Last.fm scrobbling (Full build only) — lastfm / lastfm-empty module pair, a login screen, its own settings group, and scrobbling during playback
● Reworked Now Playing: new backdrop and artist card; added an inline lyric line and removed the blurred backgrounds
● Playlist import from a converted file, straight from Settings; writes to the database in batches
● Charts: added seven new YouTube Music countries — Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam

Browsing & search
● The empty search screen now shows browse categories
● Play a song directly from a browse category’s shelf
● Home: long-press a quick pick to open the Now Playing sheet
● Library: show item counts in dynamic playlist headers

Settings
● Ask for confirmation before logging out of a linked account

Desktop
● Replaced VLC with libmpv as the sole playback backend — including DJ crossfade filters and a switch to DASH streams
● Linux: build libmpv from source in a container instead of extracting it from the AppImage
● Tray menu and tooltip now show the current track
● The volume slider expands only on hover
● The player bar timeline is tinted while a crossfade is running
● Video now renders through Compose frames; SwingPanel removed
● Windows: removed the debug terminal window
● “Play next” now works on the desktop side
● Added a Queue button to the mini player — PR #2275 by @laoluogun

Internal
● Migrated every icon to generated Material Symbols ImageVectors, dropping material-icons-extended and the XML drawables

Fixes
Crossfade & player
● Skip the crossfade when the next track plays as video, and when the current track plays as video
● Keep the correct incoming track when a transport control is pressed mid-crossfade
● Align the restored queue with the player, and guard against saves during a rebuild
● Keep the progress slider within Material3’s default range
● Volume: apply it to the player before persisting it; unmute restores the original level — PR #2274
● Desktop: release the crossfade handle when loading another track; route volume through ao-volume so it applies instantly
● Normalise Tidal key names before Camelot matching — Tidal spells accidentals out (“FSharp”, “CSharp”) rather than using symbols, so keyToSemitone failed to parse them and roughly 22% of tracks silently lost their key in DJ crossfade. Fixed by normalising the string before matching, and by changing the calculateKeyGapDurationFactor fallback from 1.0 to UNKNOWN_GAP_DEFAULT_FACTOR — an unparseable key was previously treated as a perfect match

Data & parsing
● Lyrics: stop dropping the first character when no space follows the timestamp
● Identify song columns by pageType instead of a fixed index
● Keep only the first subtitle group as artists
● The database now repairs artist names and album names stored by an older parse
● Treat personalised mixes as radio playlists
● Browse categories: key sections by title and cache them on disk, parse the songs shelf, and render every section the API returns

Downloads & cache
● Stop re-resolving stream URLs for tracks that are already fully downloaded
● Serve directly from cache only when the whole track is on disk

Desktop
● macOS: switched audio output to avfoundation — avoids an ao_coreaudio use-after-free crash when headphones are plugged in or removed
● macOS: register now-playing handlers on the main queue; stopped trimming native memory, which was causing a crash
● Disabled skiko vsync (the cause of freezes when changing displays) and restore the window on Dock reopen
● Backup: stopped double-wrapping the zip output stream
● Registered URL schemes at the correct level in conveyor.conf, and restored external link opening on Linux
● libmpv bundle: resolve by absolute path and drop POSIX open flags on Windows; strip AppleDouble sidecars that made macOS report “app is damaged”; treat an absent ytdl option as success
● Raised the macOS floor to 15.0 for the bundled libmpv — a breaking change for users on older macOS

User interface
● Force-dark screens now use a real dark colour scheme rather than just dark text
● Bottom sheet: title, artist and the like label take their colours from the dark palette
● Search: leave room for the floating search bar in every state; cap the browse grid width and use four columns on wide layouts
● Quick picks: keep titles on one line with a marquee
● Smoother artwork scrims via a smoothstep gradient
● NormalAppBar uses the transparent colours the app uses elsewhere
● Show a generic album label when the album name is unknown
● Analytics: lengthened the header scrim so the top song title no longer overlaps the stats
● Repaired the notification bell icon path
● Library: the “create playlist” label uses the theme colour
● Spotify: match the login status URL when it carries a query string

Performance (Desktop)
● Tuned the allocator and GC to cut resident memory
● Return freed native memory to the OS when playback idles
● Capped mpv’s demuxer cache

Infrastructure & dependencies
● PipePipeExtractor to v6.2.0, brave-newpipe bumped
● Bumped a batch of dependencies
● Refreshed the Gradle daemon JVM toolchain URLs
● CI/CD: workflow updates; stage natives in the release workflow and verify the libmpv bundles
● CLAUDE.md updated for Last.fm, the from-source Linux libmpv build, Compose video rendering, and the video crossfade rules

What’s Changed
● Feat/queue button desktop miniplayer by @laoluogun in #2275
● Feat/desktop mpv backend by @maxrave-dev in #2284
● Fix/volume unmute to original value by @laoluogun in #2274
