Fixed

[7.3.0] - 2026-05-14

Fixed
Backup player cycling no longer hammers the same failing type repeatedly on channels where all backup types are ad-marked. Rejected types are deprioritized during the break and retried less aggressively

Autoplay (360p) is now a reliable last-resort backup when all Source-quality types come back contaminated, preventing endless token refresh loops

Autoplay is excluded from backup type pinning so it stays in the fallback position

Changed
Ad-marked backup retry cooldown increased from 3 seconds to 15 seconds to reduce unnecessary GQL token requests

[7.2.1] - 2026-05-13

Fixed
Back-to-back midroll ads no longer leak through after recovery — the extension no longer reloads the player when no ad segments were stripped, avoiding the fresh token fetch that was re-exposing the next ad in the chain

When a backup stream was used during an ad break, playback now properly recovers instead of freezing after the break ends
Changed

Ad segment URL cache stays under 1000 entries, with oldest entries cleaned up automatically

Buffer gaps are now skipped smoothly before resorting to pause/play or reload
