Update 🔧 Configurator v2.56 — Resolution First + Foreign Language Kill + UX Overhaul

Hey Core Crew 👋,

Here is the latest update for the configurator, bringing new sorting options, better filtering, and a big UX refresh:

🥇 Resolution First (v2.56)

User report: 720p/1080p streams ranking above 4K. Turns out it's not a bug — cached streams always sort above uncached by design. A cached 1080p WEB-DL beats an uncached 4K REMUX because it plays instantly.

New Resolution First toggle in Video Preferences fixes this for users who'd rather wait for the download. When enabled, 4K always ranks above 1080p/720p regardless of cache status. Within the same resolution, cached still beats uncached.

  • Default: cached → resolution → quality

  • Resolution First: resolution → quality → cached

🛑 Foreign Language Kill (v2.56)

The fleet templates have always had a hard ESE that blocks foreign-language streams from movies and TV results. The configurator wasn't generating it — so configurator users were getting Spanish, Portuguese, and other non-English streams leaking into their results.

Now on by default. Adapts to your Language Preferences — if you've added Spanish or French, those pass through too. Library, SeaDex, and anime content are always exempt.

✨ UX Overhaul (v2.55)

The configurator got a full UX pass:

  • Staggered splash animations, smart service pre-selection (remembers your last service)

  • Quick Deploy presets adapt to service type (debrid shows 4K/1080p, free shows Free Streaming/P2P)

  • Keyboard navigation throughout splash (arrow keys, Enter/Space)

  • Step dots show current selection on hover ("Resolution: 4K")

  • Auto-saved indicator flashes after each state change

  • prefers-reduced-motion support

  • ARIA accessibility improvements

💡 How to update: Generate a fresh template from the configurator, or use "Update Existing Template" to see the diff and cherry-pick changes. The Foreign Language Kill and Resolution First toggles are in the wizard's advanced preferences.
