v0.2.1 · In-app license flow and Linux ffmpeg

Buy and activate without leaving the app: the license window opens checkout in your browser, waits for the purchase, and takes the key from the thank-you page through a reelloft:// link. Restore a key or open the license receipt from the same window.
The screen picker no longer lists this computer's own AirPlay receiver, and the empty state links to the license offer.
Poster tiles keep their placeholder until the cover has loaded, then fade it in; the scanning banner floats over the wall instead of moving the grid.
Keyboard focus is one beam ring on posters and dialogs.
Linux ships with its own ffmpeg: cover art, video details, and on-demand conversion work straight after install.
Linux ARM64 runs on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 22.04 again.
With reduced motion on, controls change shade in place instead of sliding or growing.
Even-width digits for prices, running times, and counters; nothing drifts off the side of the screen on narrow phones.

Light and dark themes: the app follows your system setting, with a one-tap toggle in the top bar.
Smoother casting start: the position clock waits for the TV's first real signal instead of running ahead.
When a video ends on the TV, the app resets to Play — including renderers like Kodi that never say "stopped".
A TV or computer advertising itself on several networks now appears once in the screen picker.
Picking a screen after pressing Play starts playback right away; play/pause/stop buttons show a waiting state.
The beam mark keeps its night tile in both themes, and selected text follows the beam.
Website: poster-wall hero, one header and footer on every page, full-width FAQ, and a phone layout that fits on one screen.

Add a folder and Reelloft scans it into a poster-wall library, with no account or cloud library.
Scan the desktop QR code to open the library in a phone browser, with no mobile app to install.
Cast to DLNA smart TVs, Chromecast or Google TV, and Apple TV with AirPlay.
Play compatible files directly and convert MKV, HEVC, and other unsupported formats on demand.
Keep the local library available from the system tray, with optional launch at login.
Use scanning, browsing, and phone playback for free; every TV cast also previews for five minutes, while a one-time $15 license removes the timer and unlocks unrestricted conversion.
