v1.3.1 — Multi-episode audiobook fix
We're sorry. If you imported an audiobook with many episodes and the app marked every later episode as completed after only the first one played — that bug is fixed in this update.
What's fixed
• Multi-episode books no longer auto-complete after the first chapter ends
• Chapter switching no longer crashes the app
• Defensive playback engine: frame clamping prevents future variants of this bug
• Better recovery if the on-device library fails to migrate after an update
If a previous version marked any book finished by mistake, opening it again will pick up from where you actually stopped. Thank you for the detailed reports — please keep them coming.
