NextFlix v1.0.2
This update makes subtitle selection more reliable with the LG webOS remote.
Changes
- Open the subtitle menu with focus on its first option.
- Handle Up/Down through subtitle options explicitly from remote key events, with a visible highlight that does not depend only on browser focus styling.
- Close the menu when navigation leaves its option list or when focus moves elsewhere.
- Keep Back and outside-click dismissal available.
TV testing
On the LG TV, open a movie or series with selectable subtitle tracks, press the Subtitles control, verify the first option is highlighted, move through options with Up/Down, and leave the menu with Left/Right or Back. Confirm the menu closes and track selection still works. Availability and actual subtitle rendering depend on what the stream exposes to webOS.

Getting started
From the project's README ("Homebrew custom repository"):
The homebrew/ directory contains the Homebrew Channel catalog, app manifest, and versioned IPK for the public GitHub repository marcpnut/nextflix-webos. The manifest pins the GitHub Release package by SHA-256. Add this catalog URL in Homebrew Channel Settings → Repositories:
https://marcpnut.github.io/repo
The GitHub repository must be public for the TV's Homebrew Channel to download the catalog, manifest, and IPK without an account token. Build public packages with pnpm package, which strips the local test-provider variables and refuses packaging if their values remain in the output.
For a local-only provider test build, copy .env.local.example to .env.local and fill in the test provider URL, username, and password. Plain pnpm build embeds these values in dist/, so never publish or upload its output. The .env.local file is ignored by Git. Use pnpm package for the public release build.
