- Replace custom ffmpeg-kit-with-lame.aar with ffmpeg_kit_flutter_new_audio plugin
- Rename MP3 option to Lossy with format selection (MP3 320kbps or Opus 128kbps)
- Add convertFlacToOpus() and convertFlacToLossy() functions in FFmpegService
- Update settings model: enableMp3Option -> enableLossyOption, add lossyFormat field
- Update download_queue_provider to use LOSSY quality with format from settings
- Remove FFMPEG_CHANNEL MethodChannel from MainActivity.kt
- Delete custom FFmpeg AAR files from android/app/libs/
- Add new localization strings for lossy format options
When user selects MP3 quality, the app was sending 'MP3' directly to
Tidal/Qobuz APIs which don't support MP3 as a quality parameter,
resulting in 403 Forbidden errors.
Fix: Convert quality 'MP3' to 'LOSSLESS' before sending to backend,
then convert the downloaded FLAC to MP3 using FFmpeg (existing logic).
Add dynamic GPU detection to use Skia renderer instead of Impeller on:
- Known problematic device models (Nexus 5, Samsung Tab A7 Lite, etc.)
- Problematic chipsets (MSM8974, MT6762, etc.)
- Legacy GPUs (Adreno 300/400, Mali-400/T6, PowerVR SGX, etc.)
- Android versions < 8.0 (API 26)
This fixes SIGSEGV crashes in libsc-a3xx.so GPU shader compiler
on older Qualcomm Adreno devices when Impeller attempts to
compile Vulkan/OpenGL shaders.
Uses FlutterShellArgs --enable-impeller=false which is the only
reliable method since AndroidManifest meta-data is broken in
Flutter 3.27+ (flutter/flutter#160595)
- Add SearchFilter struct in Go backend and Dart
- Add filters array to SearchBehaviorConfig manifest
- Add selectedSearchFilter state to TrackProvider

- Preserve selectedSearchFilter during customSearch loading
- Pass filter option to extension customSearch
- Android 13+ now only requires READ_MEDIA_AUDIO by default
- MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is optional and can be enabled in Settings
- Added 'All Files Access' toggle in Download Settings (Android 13+ only)
