Spotube v5.1.2: Stability Update with NewPipe Fallback and UI Fixes

We are back with a quick maintenance update to keep your music flowing beautifully. Following our recent feature-packed releases, version 5.1.2 tackles a few crucial edge cases under the hood to ensure your daily listening experience remains completely uninterrupted.

Think of this patch as the fine-tuning that keeps the engine running at peak performance.

The Big Fixes #

• NewPipe Fallback To Muxed Streams: NewPipe's audio-streams has been broken for a while, which caused some tracks to fail when the app tried to fetch the audio stream. In v5.1.2, we've implemented a fallback mechanism that automatically switches to muxed streams when the audio stream is unavailable. Muxed streams include both audio and video, a bit less efficient but ensures that you can still listen to your music without interruption.
• Smoother Search Behavior: We have polished the user interface to be much less intrusive. When you type in your search query and hit submit, the app will now automatically dismiss both the search dropdown and the on-screen keyboard, letting you see your results instantly.
• Translucent White Screen Bug Fix: We tracked down and eliminated a pesky null exception bug within our custom image helper. Which caused a white-overlay on the entire app causing it to be non-interactive.
