Hey everyone sorry for the headache with the player lately.

We’re not trying to change players for no reason. The one we have still runs, but it has a lot of limits, and that keeps getting in the way. So we had to try other options and rebuild. Some of those tries didn’t work out. One version was too glitchy, so we brought the old setup back. That part sucked, and we’re sorry if it messed with your watching.

This time we’re testing properly first.

--- What’s going on
Vidstream-1 is a pretest with the new player.

• Use Vidstream-1 if you want to try it
• Other servers are still on the normal player
• In about 2–3 days, if things look okay, we’ll switch

--- Tell us what breaks
If something actually goes wrong — video, subs, buffering, buttons, fullscreen, whatever — drop it in the comments. We’ll read them.

If you just don’t like how it looks (UI), that’s fair, but we can’t redesign the whole UI for every preference. If you don’t like it, say why in a real way: what feels worse, what’s harder, what you need.

--- Subtitles
Miss the old caption style? Go to Settings → Accessibility → Caption settings and tweak it. You can get it pretty close to before.

Appreciate you hanging in there. Let us know how Vidstream-1 feels.
