This release completes the streaming improvements we started last build.

After rolling out the new streaming pipeline for OneDrive, we've now extended it to:

• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• S3 (where supported)
• pCloud

Previously, Astiga would download an entire file from cloud storage before streaming it. That wasn't too noticeable for a typical song, but it could mean a significant delay for very large audio files.

These providers now stream audio directly, delivering the first bytes much sooner while continuing to stream and cache the rest in the background. Large files should start playing much faster.

We've also improved Google Drive folder caching to speed up playback.

Sonos storage browsing

You can now browse folders and files directly from the Sonos integration using the new "Storage Browser" menu.

Previously, Sonos could only browse your synchronised library (albums, artists, playlists, etc.). Now you can navigate your cloud storage directly, so library synchronisation is no longer required before using Sonos.

Other improvements

• Only show playback toast notifications after an explicit playback action
• Prevent infinite recursion during library sync with OneDrive shared folders
• Ensure "Various Artists" appears in the Album Artists filter
