• NewWhen a title has no playable source, the main button becomes Where to watch instead of a dead end, and for movies that aren't out yet it adds the movie to the watchlist

• NewMy List on TV starts with an Upcoming row, and episodes can be marked watched, unwatched or watched up to here from the remote
• NewThe TV app shows the Because you watched and Staff picks rows, and signs in with your panel accounts in Tracker mode when your panel is connected

Admin Panel (v2.5)

• ImprovedAdmin panel 2.5.0 adds database tables for ratings, lists, and Staff picks: run the panel update after updating (Update panel in the Builder) so these features work
• NewAdded a Staff picks page under App Layout to build hand-picked Home rows from TMDB titles, up to 100 per row

• ImprovedUser details show each profile's watchlist, watched, ratings, and lists counts

Clean Defaults

• NewAdded a thin progress bar on Continue rows and a small bookmark badge marking anything that's also in your watchlist
• NewAdded a trash icon to remove a row plus a three-dot menu for quick actions — Continue offers Play from beginning, Mark as watched, and Remove; Watched offers Mark as unwatched and Remove
• ImprovedRemoving an item or marking it unwatched now sticks everywhere — it's dropped from this device, Trakt, and your panel account, and won't quietly reappear on the next sync
• NewAdded a Sync my viewing activity privacy switch under the Trakt tile so you can stop sharing what you watch while staying connected (your lists still download as before)
• NewAdded quiet sync feedback: a brief Couldn't sync — showing saved data message when a refresh fails, instead of failing silently
• ImprovedSigning into the panel now back-fills your locally-saved watchlist and watch progress to the panel, matching the existing Trakt back-fill

App: Performance & Fixes

• FixedFixed the app freezing (and sometimes being killed) right after signing into Trakt with a large history — the first sync now writes in fast batches and the database allows reading and writing at the same time
• ImprovedMade the Home and Continue Watching screens stay smooth with large libraries by building the list in the background instead of on the main thread
• FixedAdopted a single 90% finished point everywhere — the player, the lists, Trakt, and the panel — so an almost-finished title no longer flickers between an in-progress row and a next-episode card
• FixedFixed Continue and Watched ordering so items list newest first by date, matching Trakt — importing history no longer overwrites the real last-watched date with the current time

• NewWatch progress now stores and returns a watched at date for completed items so the app's per-episode history shows accurate dates (run the database migrations after updating)
