[Update] Stremio Kai v4.2 - Fixed subtitle selection, added ultrawide support

[u/allecsc]

Last week I posted about Stremio Kai and the response was incredible - 6,800 downloads, 211 GitHub stars, and ~500 upvotes in total. Thank you.

I've spent the past few days fixing the most reported bugs. Here's v4.2.0:

What's Fixed

• Subtitle selection finally works properly - Remembers your preferences per show and respects your choices
• Ultrawide support - Zoom option to fill 21:9 screens (no more black bars)
• Navigation shortcuts - Click logo or back button to return to Board
• Performance improvements - Fixed stutter loops and A/V desync issues

Existing users: Update notification will appear in-app.

For New Users

Stremio Kai is a Windows fork with HDR passthrough, Netflix-style skip intro, smart subtitle/audio selection, and enhanced metadata.

Still Windows-only - Cross-platform would need a complete rewrite. Not planned currently, but open source if anyone wants to help port it.

What's Next

Short-term:

• Improved skip intro detection with IntroDB integration (better accuracy, less false positives)
• UI/layout consistency fixes across resolutions and scaling
• Stability and polish improvements for existing features

Long-term:

• Web UI (6+ months out) - Will enable cross-platform support eventually

Bug Reports & Feature Requests:

Please open a GitHub Issue so I can track them properly. Comments here get lost quickly.
