The audio quality has become very poor. Also the video is now stopped by saying an error occurred.

[InfinityLoop1308]

Can't reproduce the issue. Nothing related changed in this release.

Fixed an issue where fullscreen swipe gestures were unreliable and could accidentally minimize the video

Now, while in landscape mode I can't minimize video at all. Is there some setting to restore it, or is this a regression?

I have auto-rotate almost always disabled and before this release I could:

1. open PipePipe
2. open some video (still in portrait)
3. full screen it (switches to landscape)
4. from now on, as long as I didn't click the full screen button, I would stay in landscape. I could swipe title down to minimize the video and browse etc

[michalsieron]

Actually, when video is vertical, then in portrait full screen I also cannot minimize it with title swipe down

[InfinityLoop1308]

You mean minimize it directly to the mini-player? We can add a new pref to restore the behavior in the next version.

[michalsieron]

Didn't know that's what it is called, but yes. A setting which restores possibility to go directly from full screen to mini-player with a title swipe down gesture would be nice. Thanks <3

Please add feature to manage the options such as play back speed,seeking, manage playlist and queue etc. while background play is enabled. Now the only way is to start the video playback and change the options and switch back to background play. Even in the switching takes some time to load.
Also include the option to adjust the video resolution for Live streams.
